The accompanying chords for the brief drum solo as well as the rest of the jam are: Eb F

(The Eb could also be a Ebmaj7 ?)

The guitar solo is played in the C dorian scale. For beginners note that this is basically the same as the Bb major scale, but with greater emphasis on the C notes.

End the jam on Eb. Whistle over the Interlude progression, then play the chorus twice.

Ending riff:

 C# F A C# F#maj7
