Glenn plays a rhythm under KKs solo the exact same pattern
as the verse but instead of the A chord as the root he moves up to B
so its B D A E B D A E   then they change key during the solo to F#
Then its F# A E B F# A E B

Verse is in A C G D A C G

The final interlude after the solo you end on the B from the Rhythm and slide to the C#
then A  and back to B then C#    All bar chords
   C# B  A  B
e|--------------------|
B|--------------------|
G|-5--4--2--4---------|
D|-5--4--2--4---------|
A|-4--2--0--2---------|
E|--------------------|

Ending again on the B and sliding back to the A as the final verse begins.

I can play and tab out the solo but it isn't that hard for the advanced players  Just
KK on the Live in Memphis 82 Vengance tour-- there is great footage of him playing that
 This is how i ususally figure out most of their songs as I am ususally up at the stage 
A concert.
Have fun with this
