Everything in [these brackets] are harmonics, a quick youtube tutorial should do the trick if you don't know
how to do them. I'm not exactly sure what frets gives you the exact sound, but i usually do it around the 3-5
fret range. Just mess around with it until you get the right sound or a sound that you're satisfied with :)

The solo is kinda hard to follow, but besides that pretty good. If this one and version 2 were to be combined and fiddled with it'd sound perfect.

According to the 3rd Guitar Pro version of this song, the solos consist of an additional harmonic tone of one third using a whammy... I don't know how that works but I checked it out and it sounded okay. (They are way different from mine... indicating that my post is incorrect.) Only problem is the solo makes no musical sense to me when I look at the numbers. AAAAAAAAAArrrrggggg!!!!!!!!
