The 2nd lead solo is probably the hardest part in the song because, like the first solo, it is heavily dominated by tone bends but here you have to hold another note on another string and the same time and bend the B string to match 9th fret on the high E string (for example). And this is done few times in lots of different positions, and I find it hard to bend to exact correct pitch and also making sure that I don't the release of the bend, and I also find that when I move up to the next position it throws me off a bit. The bends get harder as you progress up the fret board because they are quicker changes and quicker releases to bends. To practice this, I listened to this part of the track over and over to make sure I was 100% confident with the timings, and then I practiced it very slowly bend by bend, really making sure I was bending it to the correct pitch and not sounding the down bend/release. I think in the end, I got it fairly well - I am more confident with bend to particular pitches, however I really need to work on the transitions because they don't sound smooth or natural that much
