================================================================
for electric rhythm part in the bridge, I get this:
the electric guitar is tuned down 1/2 step to Eb
Starting with that lick before the bridge, which would now be
< = stretch up
> = release back down
+ = hammer-on
e|-------------------------------------------|
B|--14<--16>--14>--16>--14>------------------|
G|-----------------------------11------------|
D|-------------------------------------------|

E|-------------------------------------------|
(lick before bridge)

A regular verse at that tuning would be:
Abm Abm-maj7 Abm7 Abm6 B E B Eb
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|-4--------4------4-----4------4----0---4----6-----------|
G|-4--------4------4-----4------4----1---4----6-----------|
D|-6--------5------4-----3------4----2---4----6-----------|
A|------------------------------2----2---2----8-----------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
You look like a perfect fit etc.
That would be an arrangement to play electric guitar, tuned down 1/2 step,
all the way thru, just playing quietly until the bridge

Em+7 bit should have the E bass muted so that the descending seventh
