To get the ‘sound’ of the lick try using a wah-wah pedal with the toe held all the way
You can slide between the octaves instead of strumming them all if you want
(0:37) Chorus:
These are 3 different variations, there are probably more but they’re all kinda similar.
Can’t decide on the strumming pattern.

(3:11): Outro solo played over Intro/Verse lick. Dave uses a Wah-Wah pedal but i cant
it out except for the bit below. Its all pretty much a blues scale with lots of bends and
hammer ons and pull offs around these frets so just improvise.
