Solo:
Kudos to taitaih1234 for some of this, there are a couple of places where we've transcribed it differently.
Check his out for alternate positioning/riffs. There's a lot of dotted rhythms here which I've tried to show,
basically hang the notes with dots a hair longer

if you want to do improv use E aeolian sharpening the 7th for a grace note to add a bit of jazz (this is
what's happening at the start of the solo)

Legend:
p - pull off
h - hammer on
\ or / - slide down or up
x - muted note/accoustic
x3 - repeat three times (not muted note then 3rd fret)
() - optional
the aeolian mode is used for improv purposes. This makes more sense of the chords - you instead get a 4-3aug-5
