During the vocals we play a very soft rhythm guitar using downstrokes only:

D9
   Got me...

D9 G7                      Eb9 D9
      I c...

D9      A7

  D9                        A9 G9

G9           A9 G9
   Bad love....
           D9

Short guitar break at 1:02 with a variation of our well known Blues starting riff, going 
to the root note at the high E-string and then back to the root note at the low E-string:

                                                                  (Bb9)(A9)

At 1:23 a variation of the above theme, than starting the next verse. Chords are the 
and guitar fills between area again versions of the above theme.

At 2:41 we have a solo, all around the D minor Blues scale at the 10th fret. It starts like:

You now go on with the licks above. Remember to play fluid and clean, using small bends 
sometimes a major note. Build up and release tension, another short example from 3:35 
like:
