Guitar Tab

Tuned down 1/2-step

Comments: The guitars here are arranged as the rhythm guitars in KISS
ususally are except in the intro where they take turns and kind of
trade the riffs between each other. There won't be any audible
difference if the guitars each stick to their part (as they do later
throughout the song), but it's very distinct when you listen to the
song in headphones. Overall this is a good guitar song; there's the
interlocking rhythm parts, two guitars play the fills in octaves, and
two guitars trade harmony lines for the two solos (which were a bitch
to transcribe by the way, the Best of KISS tab book didn't even bother
to tab the Outro solo properly). All bends at the 3rd fret, 6th string
are a 1/4-step.

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
