Now follows a hammond-solo with just bass and percussive mutes on guitar as
backing. Then, a guitar solo appears, with similarities to the first
guitar-solo.

3rd time, the guitar-riff is played in harmony with synth. Now, Thjis van
Leer from Focus is playing his flute-solo. I’m not gonna tab that, but
