Synth solo (best played with a slide if you attempt it at all on guitar):
repeat 3 times
E |-3-/12----8-\3-/8-----5-\3--|--10\8--8-/12\10\8-/12\10\8-/12\10\8-/15-|-
B |---------------------------o|-----------------------------------------|-
G |----------------------------|-----------------------------------------|-
D |----------------------------|-----------------------------------------|-
A |---------------------------o|-----------------------------------------|-
E |----------------------------|-----------------------------------------|-
For the outro guitar solo, just play the bass notes of the given chords:
G F# E G F# E C Am
over the chords. The piano does most of the work in the outro and would be
nigh-impossible to replicate on the guitar.
