Here's an example of one of the solos:

G|----10-12-10----------------------------|

D|----------------------------------------| (~ = let ring)

I haven't gone through the whole song to figure out each piece of the solos, but
he usually ends each verse with a different solo. If you stick to the scale most of,
if not all, the notes are there. It's basically the same notes as the main riff, but
higher.
