Shandi tab by Kiss

Tabs

Standard tuning

Comments: Kind of a top-of-the-pops type song this. The guitar work though,
which might be all Paul, is good and a little out of the ordinary for KISS.
Especially the second two bars of the main riff. Very percussive and kind
of funky. Nice fills too. There's an acoustic (probably a 12-string) through
most of the song. I've only notated the chords in most places. Check the
recording for the rhythm pattern.


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
