Album: REVENGE
--------------------

Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, kfemil@telia.com

Tuned down 1/2-step

Comments: A kick-ass song. Perhaps a little out of character for KISS
but perfectly in line with Gene's demon perona. Dig how Gene mostly
doubles the guitars but takes it two octaves below at times to add
some serious weight to this track.


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
