After this you could play the rest of the solo out, but I just play this little ditty for
the five "My oh my, my ohhh my" parts:
e|--3-3-3/4-4-4-4-4/5-5-5/7-7-7-7-7-----------------
b|--3-3-3/4-4-4-4-4/5-5-5/7-7-7-7-7-----------------

d|--5-5-5/6-6-6-6-6/7-7-7/9-9-9-9-9-----------------
a|--5-5-5/6-6-6-6-6/7-7-7/9-9-9-9-9-----------------
e|--3-3-3/4-4-4-4-4/5-5-5/7-7-7-7-7-----------------
My oh My, My ohh, My
This can be played in anyway, as long as you move down the neck, find a way which feels
comfortable, and which sounds best on your guitar, I feel this gives more body to the
sound with one guitar...
The rest of the solo is in the background while the "My oh My" part is going on:
