Kiss - Goodbye guitar tab
GOODBYE (from the KISS CD "PAUL STANLEY")
--------------------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Standard tuning
Comments: The chorus riff here (Rhy. Fig 1) is built around a pedal tone
D against which Paul basically descends through the D-major scale. It has
been tabbed wrongly on other sites for some reason. In Rhy. Fig 3, there might
be a second guitar playing the A and G chords an octave lower but it might
also just be the bass. I¥m not sure. No real solo but there is a bunch of
cool little fills during the second verse and in the last chorus. I
personally love the climbing C-major thing during the interlude (Outro
solo).
