BURNING UP WITH FEVER (from the KISS CD "GENE SIMMONS")
--------------------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Standard tuning
Comments: The nylon-string guitars that open this track (it sounds like an
overdub or two but it is possible to play it with only one guitar) is
seriously demented. The nice Eadd9 is quickly thrown off by those dissonant
chords (have no idea what they are). The riffs in this song are all simple
and played by the demon himself (which can be clearly heard; there is one
guitar in either channel and they aren't always in sync). In Rhy. Fig 3
the G5 chords are played by a third guitar that's low in the mix.
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
#(#) = Trill
** = 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
