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-----| etc
D-------------------------------|

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~~~--|

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.
