He outlines them using the chordal tones connected with a sixth and throws in the minor third over the major chords to get that real rock 'n' roll feel. Also, check out the cool chromatic walk up to E in the chorus. Classic Gene alright. 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|-----------2---------------------------------------| Ab|---------------------------------------------------| Eb|--3p-2--0------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 2 Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|-----------2----0----2----5\-4--2------------------| Ab|---------------------------------------------------| Eb|--3--2--0------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 3 Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|-----------2----0----2----5\-4--0------------------| Ab|---------------------------------------------------| Eb|--3--2--0--------------------------3---------------| Rhythm Fig. 4 Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|-----------2----0----2----5\-4--x------------------| Ab|---------------------------------------------------| Eb|--3--2--0------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 5 Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|----------------------2----2-----------------------| Ab|-------------2--2--4----------4----2---------------| Eb|--0----3h-4---------------------------3--2---------| Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|-------------------------2----2--------------------| Ab|----------------2--2--4----------4----2------------| Eb|--0----0--3h-4---------------------------3--2------| < - - - - - - - - - - 2x - - - - - - - - - - - > Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|-------------------------2-------------------------| Ab|----------------2--2--4----------------------------| Eb|--0----0--3h-4-------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 6 Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|-------------------------------4--4----------------| Ab|-----------4----4--2-------------------------------| Eb|--2------------------------------------------------| Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|-----------4----1----------------------------------| Eb|--2----------------3----3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3-----| Rhythm Fig. 7 Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|-------4----7----4-----------4----5----6-----------| Eb|--5-----------------5-----5------------------------| Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|----------6----9----6------------------------------| Ab|--7----7---------------7----7--5----4--------------| Eb|-----------------------------------------7---------| Rhythm Fig. 8 Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|---------------------------------------------------| Eb|--5----5---5------5--6--7--------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 9 Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|----------------------2----2-----------------------| Ab|-------------2--2--4----------4----2---------------| Eb|--0----3h-4---------------------------3h-4---------| Gb|----------------------2----2-----------------------| Db|-------------2--2--4----------4----2---------------| Ab|--0----3h-4---------------------------4--2---------| Eb|--------------------------------------------4------| Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|----------------------2----2-----------------------| Ab|-------------2--2--4----------4----2---------------| Eb|--0----3h-4---------------------------3h-4---------| Gb|----------------------2----2-----------------------| Db|-------------2--2--4----------4----2/-14\----------| Ab|--0----3h-4------------------------------------0---| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 10 Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|---------------------------------------------------| Eb|--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--2----3----4--------| NOTHIN' TO LOSE Gene Simmons [Rhy.
