In general, once you get to this point, Jeff is generally improving around a basic structure, it helps to learn the riffs exactly, but then you can kind of do your own thing here and there once you have a feel for it. Also, I tabbed out the main "melody" of the solo, but open strings do get hit quite often, so experiment and see what works.
