 Here is my rendition on the solo from one of my favourite Quo songs, 'Big Fat Mama'. 
are a couple of pointers about the TAB:
- In part 1 of the solo, the guitars are both palm muted. In part 2, the guitars go much 
and are not muted at all.
- Guitars 1 and 2 play together at the same time, in both parts of the solo.
- Guitar 2 is basically playing the same thing as guitar 1, but an octave higher.
