Does anyone know about the solo? What's the key of it? What scale does he play?

This is isnt bad but this song is just not meant for tabs. This song is best learned from a teacher or a good book with info on the chords and techniques used to solo over it. Also its not really that fun playing it unless you play it with other people in jam sessions or jazz bands. If you really want to learn it watch a video that will let you learn all the theory and chords he uses and it will have visuals.
