He stays on the roots most of the time and only throws in some chromatics in the chorus. The A minor pentatonic riff that goes against the A-chord is a bit odd though. Thankfully the C ends up under the D/A played by the guitars where it can more easily be seen as the seventh. The only other remotely exciting thing to happen is the slight change in rhythm between Ry. Fig 3a and 3b. 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 Rhythm Fig. 1 Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--7----------2----3-------------5--5--------------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 2 Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--7----------2----3----3----5----5----------------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------| Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|----------3---------------------------------------| Eb|--5----5-------5--0--3--5-------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 3a Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------| Eb|--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3/-| Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------| Eb|--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--11--13\-------------| Rhythm Fig. 3b Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------| Eb|--1----1----1--1--1--3------3----3--3--3/---------| Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--------------------------------------------------| Eb|--11----11----11--11--11--13----------------------| Rhythm Fig. 4a Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|------------2--3--4--5--------------3--3----------| Eb|--3----3------------------------------------------| Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------2--3--5-----------| Ab|--1----1----1--1--1--3-------------------3--------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 4b Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|------------2--3--4--5------------3--3------------| Eb|--3----3------------------------------------------| Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|--1----1----1--1--1--3----------------------------| Eb|----------------------------------1--1------------| Riff 1 Gb|--------------------------------------------------| Db|--------------------------------------------------| Ab|----5--5------------------------------------------| Eb|--------------------------------------------------| LADIES IN WAITING Gene Simmons [Rhy.
