There are alternatives for playing Lightfoot tunes solo: alternate tunings. Open D (DADF#AD) works very well to recreate "In My Fashion" playing the main riff up the neck. "Approaching Lavender" also works well in Open D, so does "Sundown", "Don Quixote", and "I'm not Sayin'". C tuning (CGCGCE) makes easy work of "Old Dan's Records".
