The guitar work though, which might be all Paul, is good and a little out of the ordinary for KISS. Especially the second two bars of the main riff. Very percussive and kind of funky. Nice fills too. There's an acoustic (probably a 12-string) through most of the song. I've only notated the chords in most places. Check the recording for the rhythm pattern. 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
