The rhythm of those first bars are: first repeat are quarter-notes, second is quarter-note triplets, third is eight- note triplets and the last is sixteeenth-note triplets. The rhythm work is mainly done by Paul and for some reason the person who mixed this songs has foregone the usual KISS praxis of mixing each guitar hard to its own end of the stereo spectrum and instead put both pretty much center. That's probably because most of the time Ace doesn't play much. The track would get kind of lopsided if there was only rhythm guitar on the left side.
