Figs here but fear not, it is just the old KISS stand-by of twin guitars. As is customary on most KISS albums there is one guitar panned left and one panned right (solos are centered) and they have a tendency to play similar but slightly different parts. Thus, there's a lot to tab. I personally love the way the solos first part kind of matches the word "scream" in the lyric. Very cool. 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
