Follow same progression as verses.
Screw around with whatever pentatonic you happen to be in.
Throw in some typical space-rock, spanish, or modal scale
if you feel up to it.  Use gobs of delay, throw in a lot
of tremolo picking, and a few sliding harmonies, take lots
of acid, go insane, play a C chord throughout the whole song,
get booted out of Pink Floyd and POW!
you have yourself a reasonable Syd Barrett imitation. :)
Repeat chord sequence twice and go into second verse.
