WELL, THERE YOU HAVE IT.
If you hadn't noticed, this ending is very hard to describe right. These tabs are 100% 
if you listen CLOSELY - the solo and all. At times it will sound like he's hammering and 
in the solo when he's not, near the end you may find that most tabs don't mention that he
changes notes. This is tabbed off the sheet music, and a lot of time was spent in it by 
IT'S 100% ACCURATE! Enjoy.
