I am also assuming that you know the timing and feel for the song, and that
Alex's chord are really power chords.
The solo that Alex plays is in the A minor pentatonic from the fifth fret,
it's pretty easy to come up with you own variations. I have mine, but I'm
too lazy to fill it in.
Even though the song is pretty easy to play, I suggest practicing each part
seperately, and then combine them to speed.
