 Tuned down 1/2-step


 Comments: This is a very simple song, just put three riffs together and


 There's a song. This has never been one of my favourites (although I


 liked it when they did it unplugged at the KISS conventions) but it works


 well and I do like the solo. I don't think that it is one of the KISS


 members doing the solo though: the vibrato is all wrong (but the feedback


 is very much in line with AceĀ„s work around this time) and the tapping


 is uncharacteristic of them both. On the tab itself, I know it's a bit


 cluttered but I wanted to show all the muting since it's such a vital


 part of the sound. Look out for Riff 2, it is hard to hear but it appears


 on the right side. It is heavily muted and played through some serious


 distorsion giving it a chunky and metallic sound. The pitch is just


 barely noticable.


 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
