TAKE IT OFF (from the KISS album "REVENGE")
-----------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark (emil@kisstabs.com)
Tuned down whole-step to D
Comments: Lets party. The D-tuning makes the D/F# to G chord change almost
amazingly full. During the chorus the chord changes (A-A/G) are implied by
the bass which is pumping eight-notes.
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 wbar
(/) = Release wbar
Tp = Tap wplectrum
