Kiss - Shandi guitar tab
SHANDI (from the KISS CD "UNMASKED")
--------------------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Standard tuning
Comments: Kind of a top-of-the-pops type song this. The guitar work though,
which might be all Paul, is good and a little out of the ordinary for KISS.
Especially the second two bars of the main riff. Very percussive and kind
of funky. Nice fills too. There's an acoustic (probably a 12-string) through
most of the song. I've only notated the chords in most places. Check the
recording for the rhythm pattern.
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
