I'm not a lead guitarist so thats my reason for not making my own.
This solo sounds just fine.

Outro:
Guitar (I & II)
One of the biggest mistakes among tabber is the pinch harmonics. They're all over the
in the outro. They get deeper and harder and the song fades out. The best sounding thing
do is simple : pinch harmonics harder as the song goes along. Use your thumb to hit the 
after picking them to do these pinch harmonics. As the outro progresses do it harder.
biggest thing to do is to make sure you go from the first pickup closest to the 22nd 
and slowly go to the right pickup (to the left if your lefthanded).

Thats it. I'm almost 100% positive this is the best The Thing That Should Not Be tab.
