Rock Bottom

{t:Rock Bottom}
 {st:KISS}
 
 Tuned down 1/2-step
 
 Comments: As you can see I've chosen to separate this song into two parts,
 one tab for the all-acoustic intro, and this tab for the "actual" song.
 There are three guitars running through this one: Paul's main electric
 on the left, Ace's electric on the left and an acoustic that doubles Ace
 during the verse. Which part it doubles in the chorus (or if it plays a
 part all its own) I can't say but it's there, once again showing that
 this album probably has the most acoustic guitar of any KISS album
 (not counting Unplugged, that is). The solo is short but sweet. Classic
 Ace moves here: the minor-to-major third hammer-on, plenty of bends,
 a nice scalar passage (which features two decending fourths which isn't
 that common), and those cool grace-slides at the end.
 
 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
