The Calamity solo?

Out of all the solos in the latest Shogun album, The Calamity is by far the best imo.
Does anyone have a decent tab for it? I've got the main riffs down, they were pretty easy. But the solos are ridiculous. Matt's (which I'm assuming is the first) is straight shredding; so it would be too difficult for my crappy ears to figure out. I'm trying to figure out Corey's right now. The only tab out there has a few bits that is actually correct. But anyone with a trained ear can tell that it isn't perfect.
So if anyone can tab it out that'd be great!

Alright, after a few hours of working it out, I'm fairly sure Corey's solo begins with this:

The tapping might be off a bit, but the sweeps are bang on. The first two progressions are standard diminished, the last 2 have some inverts in it. After each progression, slide up. I made them ghost notes in guitar pro, it's the closest thing I could find (because I suck at guitar pro!).
I'll be working on it more later, when I've got some time. College is a drag!
P.S. - If you want to hear it yourself, just do what I do when I tab out. Download Audacity (it's free, and it's an amazing program) and slow the song down until you can play along with it. How to do this? After you import the track, hit CTRL + A to select everything. Then go to Effect (it's a tab on the top) ---> Change Tempo. Slow it down to however much you feel you need to in order to hear it thoroughly.
Enjoy!
