On the left Paul does his thing hammering things home with a driving eight- note riff that Ace pretty much mirrors on the right on an acoustic. On top of that there are two lead guitars that harmonize each other and trade licks. Pretty cool. Paul has stated that this is one of his favourite songs and that it was thrown together in about an hour and a half. Amazing what people can do under pressure. This is a good time to bring up the way Paul played his power chords (and some major chords) during the 70's. If you look at old live video (or stills for that matter), Pauls usually plays his power chords using only two fingers; the index finger frets the root while the ring finger is placed in a partial barre over two or three strings. But, this usually only happens when the root is located on the 5th string. Why, you ask? Because it is relatively risk-free. Adding the 2nd string would only yield a major chord which usually isn't a problem in KISS. When the root is on the 6th string, Paul tends to be a little more cautious and frets the root with the index and then uses his ring finger and pinky to fret the remaining two notes. (Of course there are exceptions.) 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
