Lead guitar for "This World" by Caedmon's Call

For this song, with a single guitar, if I didn't have a partial capo
available, I might do some flat-picking, but I would basically just
play the capo-2-in-G rhythm part, which was transcribed in the official
Songbook (see above). With multiple guitars, however, one can play
rhythm and the other lead.
My favorite way to play "This World" is with a partial capo, but if
there were another guitar playing rhythm (capo 2 in G) and no partial
capo on hand, I would play the lead part the way I've transcribed it
here. I think this is how derek played it on the original recording.
If you play it this way, you can play guitar solo I have tabbed in a
separate file.
The guitar solo (the My Calm version) is actually two overdubbed parts.
The only times the two parts split--so you may not be able to exactly
duplicate the sound live--are measures 7-8 and 15-16 of the solo, as
I've numbered them. The first time isn't very noticeable if you have a
rhythm guitar as well; the second time, either way works by itself (the
first is easier), or you can try to combine the main parts of both, or
just improvise. The song feels like 2/2 time to me, but I used 4/4 to
make tabbing easier.

This is my partial-capoed redition, not the way Caedmon's Call plays
it, but it is the way I prefer to perform the song with a single guitar.
I start out flat-picking, eventually mostly strumming, and play a sort
of mix of the original lead and rhythm guitar parts.
With the partial capo, you can drone any open string in the guitar solo,
and cool-sounding funky chord voicings are really easy, all on a single
guitar without retuning:
345-partial-capo 2nd fret. In other words, the partial capo covers the
third, fourth and fifth strings, but leaves the others untouched.
Played open, it sounds like Esus4 (022200). (This is similar to DADGAD-
tuning, capo 2.) I give the chord fingerings relative to the partial
capo. Thus, the chord progressions are the same as the regular capo 2
rhythm part.
G 3x00oo, 3200o3, 320033 etc. (o = fully open (uncapoed) string)
C x3001o, x320oo, x32013 or 8700oo
D o002oo, o540oo, 3200oo+7 (+7 = this fingering 7 frets up)
Am x0221o, x0221c (c = same fret as the partial capo)
Em c220oo
