Torpedo Girl KISS
-------------------- Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com Standard tuning Comments: In Rhy. Fig 6c it says "Manipulate toggle switch". This is one of Ace's trademarks. His guitars, Gibson Les Paul by the way, only have one pickup wired, the bridge one. The three-way selector on the Les Paul has the bridge in the "down" position, the two pickups in series (or the middle pickup alone on the three-pickup model) in the "middle" position, and neck pickup in the "up" position. Ace basically grabs the toggle switch and flips it between the "up" and "down" position, usually in a triplet feel, thereby creating this "now-you-hear-it-now-you-don¥t" sound. If you have a Les Paul or a similar guitar, just turn off the volume to the neck pickup and you can do the same thing. 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
