Bass tabs
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
