(from the KISS CD "UNMASKED") -------------------- Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com Tuned down 1/2-step Comment: DonĄt think Gene played on this. ItĄs all staccato eight-notes, and over static chords like these he usually goes crazy. Check out the Peter Gunn- or Batman-like riff in Rhy. Fig 4d. 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|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3---------------------------| Ab|---------------------------------------------------| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 2a Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|-----------------------------------------------5---| Eb|--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1------| Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|----5-----------------5----5-----------------------| Eb|-------5--5--5--5--5----------5--5--5--5--5--5-----| Rhythm Fig. 2b Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|-----------------------------------------------5---| Eb|--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1------| Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|----5-----------------5----5-----------------------| Eb|-------5--5--5--5--5----------5--5--5--5--5\-------| Rhythm Fig. 3a Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3---| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| < - - - - -2x - - - - > < - - - - -2x - - - - > Gb|--------3-----------3-----------5-----------5------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|--1--1-----1--1--1-----1--3--3-----3--3--3-----3/--| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| < - - - - - 2x - - - - > Rhythm Fig. 3b Gb|--------3-----------3-----------5-----------5------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|--1--1-----1--1--1-----1--3--3-----3--3--3-----3---| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| < - - - - 2x - - - - - > < - - - - 2x - - - - - > Gb|--------3-----------3------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|--1--1-----1--1--1-----1--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3/--| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| < - - - - 2x - - - - - > Rhythm Fig. 4a Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|--3--3--3--3--3--3-----------------1----1--0-------| Ab|-----------------------0--1--1--1-------------3----| Eb|--------------------3------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 4b Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|-----------------------------------1----1--0-------| Ab|-----------------------0--1--1--1-------------3----| Eb|--1--1--1--1--1--1--3------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 4c Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|-----------------------------------1----1--1--1----| Ab|-----------------------0--1--1--1------------------| Eb|--1--1--1--1--1--1--3------------------------------| Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1---------------| Ab|---------------------------------------------------| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 4d Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|-----------------------------------1----1--0-------| Ab|--------------------0-----1--1--1-------------3----| Eb|--1--1--3--1--4--1-----1---------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 5 Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|------------------0--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--------| Eb|------------1--3-----------------------------------| < - - - - 2x - - - - > Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1---| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| < - - - - 2x - - - - > < - - - - 2x - - - - > Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3------------------------| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| Riff 1 Gb|---------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|--1------------------------------------------------| Eb|---------------------------------------------------| IS THAT YOU?
