The tab below is the part from the solo where I think he's going at his fastest and it contains 33 notes and lasts about 3.9 seconds. Allowing for the fact that the tab might not be 100% correct I reckon he's probably playing between 8 to 10 notes per second.

Code:

|-----12-----------12-----------12----------12-------|-----12----------12-
|-15^----15p12--------15p12-15^----15p12-------15p12-|--15^--15p12--------
|--------------14^----------------------14^----------|-------------14^----
|----------------------------------------------------|--------------------
|----------------------------------------------------|--------------------
|----------------------------------------------------|--------------------
                                       
----------12-----------12-------|
-15p12-15^--15p12----12---15p12-|
------------------14^-----------|
