Pre-Chorus1:
(It's very hard to hear the Hi-Hat, but what I made
out of it was that it leaves out the 3-3+ counts, and
it's heavier. However, you may just feel like playing
the Hi-Hat every half-beat like a standard drum beat.)

HH|--X---X-------O-|--X---X-------O-|

Repeat the Verse1 beat. (Only because of the floor tom. Every 1st downbeat.)

Guitar Solo:

T1|o-o-o-----------|----------------|
T2|--------o-o-o---|----------------|
FT|----------------|o-o-o-----------|
BD|----------------|--------o-o-o---|
   1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a 1e+a2e+a3e+a4e+a 

The main beat of the solo is mainly this, but like the drummer in
the recording, feel free to improv with ghost notes on the bass.
And on the Hi-Hat, almost all the way closed. Listen to the recording.

Again, feel free to improv on the bass.
