Kiss tabs for Black diamond

About Black Diamond

Black Diamond is one of the first songs Kiss write prior to their debut album in 1974. It has been played on concerts ever since and is by many fans still a favourite. You can clearly hear that Ace Frehley is expanding his guitar skills at this time, making some classic licks and solos. Learn to play it in the style of Ace in the complete guitar tabs below.

Please note that there are two guitars playing different patterns, the other rythm guitar is by Paul Stanley. This gives the song a deeper touch, but also makes it a bit harder to learn. The intro is done by an acoustic guitar. Tune your guitar down half a step before playing.
