On top of that there¥s a capo at the 2nd fret and plenty of slide. The solo is mixed incredibly low so it¥s hard to hear what¥s going on. I gave it my best shot. At the end, when the gospel-like choir kicks in there is probably guitar going on in the back but I find it impossible to hear. I can¥t tell if it¥s voice or guitar at times. I¥ve left that part out here. (Thanks to kirk590722@aol.com for help with desiphering the gospel-like background vocals.)
