Magic Touch KISS
-------------------- Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com Tuned down 1/2-step Comments: Now this is a good song. Paul had a special tendency around this time (and the early 80's) to use the third even when playing through some serious distorsion. It is a little harsh on the ears at times, but here it gives the song character. Riff 2 is played, as you can see, by two guitars, both using E-bows. It's a mechanical device that you put against the string (just one at a time) and there are little wheel-like structures that spin on the string causing it to resonate as long as there's contact. This means that you don't have to pick the string which is why I've used slides in the tab. 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 Rhythm Fig. 1
