KISS - "mainlne" Tablature

MAINLINE (from the KISS-LP "HOTTER THAN HELL")
--------

transcribed by Mark Perillo (mark@kisstabs.com)

Eb Tuning

Key:
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
b = bend (whole step)
b^ = bend (1/2 step)
pb = pre-bend
r = release-bend
h^ = hammer-on
p^ = pull-off
~ = Vibrato
#(#) = Trill
* = Natural Harmonic
** = Artificial Harmonic
x = Muted String (Palm Muting)

Not a very "mainstream" KISS song, but still a catchy tune. Ace employs good
use of repeating sections throughout. Notice how he follows the chord tones
and his phrasing makes the solo sound more like a voice than a guitar!!
