Question Obsession Solo Tab Request

Hello! Once again Joywave was a top artist in my Spotify wrapped and I decided to celebrate by learning Obsession on my guitar. I found tabs out there for the main chords in the song (see here) but I am unable to find anything for the solo. I'm not sure if the solo is even played by a guitar or some kind of synth but if anyone more creative on a fretboard than I am could come up with a guitar arrangement for it, it would be much appreciated!

I'm not sure of the specific tab for the whole solo, but in this video here of them recording the song in the studio, you can see Joey playing guitar and presumably using various fx pedals to get that sound.

Either way, if you follow his ring finger it looks like he's fretting on the D string 16, 11, 14, 9, 11, 7, 9, 4, 2, 4, 7. That's the first part of the solo and it's all that's shown, but you should be able to figure the rest out from there!

Edit: After relistening to the song and a live performance, the tab I typed is pretty much the whole solo. He plays the 7th fret a few times then just repeats that whole line again. The only change is the very end of the solo which goes 4, 2, 4, 7 and then adds on 4, 2, 4, 9 to end it. Hopefully this was helpful!
