This is the title track from "HOTTER THAN HELL". This album is a bit crude
in the recording department, so sometimes the transcription will differ from
the recording, use your imagination. There are 2 different rhythm guitar
parts, mostly playing octave aparts. The Lead fills also accompany these
two guitars, so the lead guitarist should play the higher octave parts and
then the lead fills. The outro solo is one of the more interesting parts
of the song. Ace plays the main outro solo(left side) then comes in about
halfway with the other guitar (right side). These two different solo parts
make it hard to play with 2 guitarists, since there is also a rhythm
guitar part going underneath. The solo shows how playing two totally
different guitar parts can complement a song. Your best bet is to pan the
left and right channels and learn each part. The transcription is close
enough so that you can improvise a bit. The recording is not 100% clear,
so use your imagination and try to add your own style to the solo.. Enjoy!

HOTTER THAN HELL - Paul Stanley

[Rhythm Fig 1. w/ Rhythm Fig 1a]

Come on
[Rhythm Fig 1. w/ Rhythm Fig 1a w/ Lead Fill 1]

[Rhythm Fig. 2 w/ Rhythm Fig. 2a]
She looked good
She looked hotter than hell
All dressed in satins and lace
I looked at her and it was just too clear
I had to get on the case

I said "Lady, oh lady, can I take you home
There's just so much we could do

[Rhythm Fig. 3]
I'll take you all around the whole wide world
Before the evening is through"

[Rhythm Fig. 4 w/ Rhythm Fig. 4a]
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You know she's gonna leave you well done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
Burn you like the midday sun

[Rhythm Fig 1. w/ Rhythm Fig 1a w/ Lead Fill 2]

[Rhythm Fig. 2c w/ Rhythm Fig. 2d w/ Lead Fill 3]
I asked her why she couldn't make up her mind
She said "You don't understand

[Rhythm Fig. 3]
I'd love to go, but there's something you should know"
She showed me her wedding band

[Rhythm Fig. 4 w/ Rhythm Fig. 4a w/ Lead Fill 4]
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You know she's gonna leave you well done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
Burn you like the midday sun

[Rhythm Fig. 4 w/ Rhythm Fig. 4a w/ Lead Fill 5]
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
You know she's gonna leave you well done
Hot, hot, hotter than hell
Burn you like the midday sun

[Rhythm Fig. 5]

[Rhythm Fig. 5 w/ Outro Solo (L and Outro Solo (R)]
(Repeat Until Fade)
