DEUCE (from the KISS CD "KISS")

Tuned down 1/2-step

Comments: A bona fide rock 'n' roll clasic. The riff that opened hundreds
of shows in the early 70's kicks major ass (and was concieved by Paul).
The rhythm tandem is in ebidence here again but with a twist. This time
both guitars play pretty much the same thing throughout the song and there's
an overdubbed third guitar that comes in and does all the little cool stuff.
For that reason I've listed those "extras" as riffs.


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
