All American Man by Kiss - guitar chords, guitar tabs and lyrics

--------------------

Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com

Tuned down 1/2-step

Comments: Oh yeah. Why has this song never found its way into the KISS live

set? This is Paul at his best. For the main rhythm part let the open A-string

ring against the double-stops most of the time. (In fact, just let the

entire riff ring really.) The second guitar, which appears on the right,

doubles the main riff during the first verse but soon goes off on its own

in order to play the complementary part. Th solo is short and consists

entirely of repeating patterns. The harmonized line in the beginning is

much cooler. (Previous tabs on the net have neglected the harmony part here.)

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
