B |-------------------------------------------------------------|

Can't really distinguish well what Jus play here because of the wah and hard strumming he does. If you have a wah pedal, you can play along the song and you'll be great improvising. I got this lick from the solo:

B |-----------------------------------------------------------------|
E |-----------------------------------------------------------------|
A |-----------------------------------------------------------------|
D |-----------------------------------------------------------------|
F#|--12..........-15........-15h17-------17------------17-~\10t15---|
B |---0..........--0........------17b19~~---17b20-17b18-------------|

While you go crazy on the wah pedal, keep up with this scale:
Usually just traveling on the 12-14 will get you there with he occasional Spanish steps on the 
B |10-12---------------------------------------------------------------| middle of the scale.
E |----12-13-14--------------------------------------------------------|
A |-----------12-14----------------------------------------------------|
D |---------------11-12-14---------------------------------------------|
F#|-----------------------11-12-13-15----------------------------------|

Its supposed to be a modified pentatonic scale called the F# Eight Tone Spanish.
1, b2, #2, 3, 4, b5, b6, b7.
