Foam is a fairly straighforward solo to play, but it's a lot of fun
nevertheless. The solo works very directly from the chords: if you look at
the notes of the solo, it's really just arpeggiations that outline the chord
changes. The beauty of the solo (IMHO) is how each chord leads into the
next, and how the solo anticipates the chord change in such a natural way.

(Notice: the rest of the solo is simply octaves on the bass note of the
chord. Kind of makes it simple. My notes are only approximate; the
fingerings/frets should be right, but listen to the song to get the exact
feel)

And of course, the outtro riff:
(8th notes throughout)
                                                          /S

Then up two frets:

And up another two frets:
                                                          /S
