So now you know all of Eirik's part already! :) 

Erlend main riff: (steel strings!) 

You could play this at a nuber of neck positions, whichever you find easiest.
I like this one... and I think Erlend does this too...

... but if you want to you can do this instead:

Now back to the REAL version....
The only remaining parts to learn are Erlend's solos. 

First solo: 

||:REPEAT

Last time...

|--------8-------6---------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|--------------------------------| 

At some point before the end he picks a few harmonics, and a bit later than that strums this chord: 

X X 11 9 12 9 

All the rest is just repetitions of what we have already seen, so you can now play the whole song!
Have fun!
