Subject: TAB and REQ:Rocket Ride from Kiss

this my new Version of "Rocket Ride" from the Kiss Alive2 album.
This updated version contains the ending solo(how i play it) of the song,
so only the solo in the middle of the song is left.

And that's my question: I have found out most pieces of the middle solo,
but I'm not sure about the part just before the end, which sounds to
me like a tapping part with (maybe) chorus effect. This is just another
tremendous riff of Ace I like to find out !

So if you people have ANY suggestions , please send me a mail, as I like
to finish this song.
