I hate to tell you this but if you can't tell what key that is by looking at it, you need to get brushed up on your theory big time.
But, on that note, it is in the key of D; at least so says the transcription.

It changes keys throughout the song/solo.

No, it doesn't. It never changes key. Now, the accidentals you see correlate to a different chord for that measure that is being used outside the key, hence why you see accidentals in place. It actually never changes key, it's just that the chord changes used are not inside the key so the notes have to change accordingly.

Perhaps we have a confusion of terminology here. The key does change in this tune, but the key signature doesn't. That's one aspect of composition that's not really standardized - whether or not to write in a new key signature when the song changes key.

Key signature designates KEY therefore if the key signature does not change, neither does the key. Unless you see a double bar lined (or something like that) measure that indicates an approaching key change (change in key signature), the key itself does not change; only the chord structures that make up that measure change, and hence, as I said earlier, the accidentals that are existent in this tune.
