I don't know if you've already been suggested that, but I think I could do a version of the theme from SNES game "Top Gear" (The tittle is Las Vegas, written by your countryman Berry Leitch) it has an nice arpeggio that would look great on your tapping and this song is kinda of meme in Brazil, at least the views here you would have.
