The two chords used are A5 and F (though in the live version he plays an Am
instead of A5 where the riff would normally be, but I think the A5 works better in whole).

He uses a delay pedal, but since I don't have one, this is the general
pattern. It sounds good to hit the notes in parenthesis occasionally when
you're doing a solo guitar, or you could just strait up play the chords.
Riff (sounds good with lots of reverb and some flange)

He doesn't actually play the 1st fret on the E string but I like to use it
to keep the song in key while playing solo.
Lastly! there's a little modified progression right after the synth solo
and right after the final chorus which goes:
