For the verse, the guitar just strikes an E chord on occasion.
E--0-- B--0-- G--1-- D--2-- A--2-- E--0--
for the first solo:
E-----------------------------| B--12--15-12--12--12--12--15--| etc, just keep playing G--14b----14b-14b-14b-14b-----| variations on that D-----------------------------| A-----------------------------| E-----------------------------|
for the second solo:
E-------------------------------| B------15-----15-----15-----15--| G--14b----14b----14b----14b-----| etc D-------------------------------| A-------------------------------| E-------------------------------|
The bass plays A for the chorus (?) part after the 2nd solo,
there's a very buried clean guitar strumming A, I think.
for the third solo:
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| B-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| G-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| D---------------------------------------------bend these notes slightly-------| A--12b~~~~~feedback--12r-10-12br-10--------10-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12b~~~--| E-----------------------------------12~~~-------------------------------------|
for the fourth solo:
E------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B-------15~~~----------------------------------15-----15-15--------------------| G--14b---------14b-14b-14b-14b-14b-14b-14b-etc----14b-------12-14-12-14-12-12--| D------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E---------------------------------12-----12-----12-12-12-12-12-12-random skronk-| B------15----------------------------15b----15b-15b---15b---15b-----------------| G--14b----12-14-14-14-12-12-14b-------------------------------------------------| D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
for the chorus after that solo, come in towards the end playing this:
E------| B--5---| G--7b-- and keep bending/picking the D note.. D------| and astray from there on 5th/7th frets A------| E------|
the fifth solo is basically a feedback solo, dissolving into a guitarless break.
for the sixth solo, just repeat the basic elements of previous solos (haha)
and proceed to meltdown.
