Sax Solo: Based on G Major scale using notes from the G, B, and E strings.
e|----------2-3-|
B|-------2-5----|
G|-2-3-5--------|
D|--------------|
A|--------------|
E|--------------|
That is the main structure of the scale you need to use.
 
Guitar Solo: 1:41

G|-7^^^^^(9)-(9)-(9)-7--5-7-5-----5----5--|
D|----------------------------5h7--5h7----|
A|----------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------|
Strike as you bend, and keep the note bent on the 9, and then release it for the first 7.
I'm not good at tabbing solo's, but the solo carries on in the A major blues scale, and
pretty simple to work out by ear
