Sweet Pain KISS
-------------------- Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com Tuned down 1/2-step Comments: This is a weird song guitar-wise. I guess they experimented quite a lot for this album. The first guitar, on the left, has a reverb on it and is very far back in the mix. At times it is very hard to hear. The other one, on the right, has a sound almost totally lacking in high frequencies giving it a dark, contourless appearence. What they play isn-t that strange though. The solo is, as Ace has made clear in several interviews, a hired gun. I think it's OK, I really like the cromatic ending for one thing. (And that high pinch harmonic isn't too bad either.) As everone can hear, the main riff is doubled by what seems to be an acoustic (could be a clean electric on there as well). 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 ** = 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
