It has a certain growl to it that cuts through the mix well (especially if you listen with headphones). Gene basically establishes his own variants of the guitar riffs and sticks with them. There are a few notes in parenthesis in Rhy. Fig 4a and b. Those are notes that Gene either omits or misses from time to time. Rather than put six different Rhy. Figs here I've chosen to show it this way. 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|--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--0-----2-----3----| Eb|----------------------------------------------| < - - - - - 3x - - - - > Rhythm Fig. 2 Gb|----------------------------------------------| Db|----------------------------------------------| Ab|--5----5------0--2--3-------------------------| Eb|-------------------------------3-3---3/-5-----| Rhythm Fig. 3 Gb|----------------------------------------------| Db|----------------------------------------------| Ab|--5----5------0--2--3-------------------------| Eb|-------------------------------3-3---3--------| Rhythm Fig. 4a Gb|----------------------------------------------| Db|----------------------------------------------| Ab|--1----1-------1----3---(3)--------1----------| Eb|-----------1h3---3-------------1h3----3-------| Gb|----------------------------------------------| Db|----------------------------------------------| Ab|--3------------3-----5---------5--------3-----| Eb|-----------3h5----5--------5h7------3h5-------| Rhythm Fig. 4b Gb|----------------------------------------------| Db|----------------------------------------------| Ab|--1----1-------1----3---(3)--------1----------| Eb|-----------1h3---3-------------1h3----3-------| Gb|----------------------------------------------| Db|----------------------------------------------| Ab|--3---(3)------3-----5------------------------| Eb|-----------3h5----5---------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 4c Gb|----------------------------------------------| Db|----------------------------------------------| Ab|--1----1-------1----3---3----------1----------| Eb|-----------1h3---3-------------1h3----3-------| Gb|----------------------------------------------| Db|----------------------------------------------| Ab|--3------------3-----5---5-----5-----3--------| Eb|-----------3h5----5---------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 5 Gb|----------------------------------------------| Db|----------------------------------------------| Ab|--5----5\------0--2--3----0--2--3----0--2--3--| Eb|----------------------------------------------| Gb|----------------------------------------------| Db|----------------------------------------------| Ab|--3--3------3--3------3--3/-5-----------------| Eb|----------------------------------------------| Riff 1 Gb|----------------------------------------------| Db|----------------------------------------------| Ab|--5\------------------------------------------| Eb|----------------------------------------------| GOT TO CHOOSE Paul Stanley [Intro: guitar only] [Rhy.
