 Tuned down 1/2-step


 Comments: This song has always been one of my absolute favorites. This was


 the first KISS album I bought and for some reason I loved this song back


 then. Then I rediscovered it a few years back. The use of horns and organ


 in the chorus lets the guitars take a slight backseat there and they work


 together well to form an accented pattern and some suspensions that


 resolve nicely. The solo is played over a riff in 7/4 time, and oddity


 (pun intended) in the KISS catalog. (I can only think of one other song


 with that time signature.) All the bends on the 3rd fret, 6th string are


 quarter-step bends.


 Key:


 / = slide up


 \ = slide down


 b = bend (whole step)


 b^ = bend (1/2 step)


 b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps)


 pb = pre-bend


 r = release-bend


 t = tap with righthand finger


 h = hammer-on


 p = pull-off


 ~ = Vibrato


 * = Natural Harmonic




 ** = Artificial Harmonic


 x = Dead notes (no pitch)


 P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)


 (\) = Dive w\bar


 (/) = Release w\bar


 Tp = Tap w\plectrum
