Kiss - Thrills In The Night guitar tab
THRILLS IN THE NIGHT (from the KISS CD "ANIMALIZE")
--------------------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Standard tuning
Comments: There aren't too many Rhythm Figs. in this song but there are
quite a few different endings to each. But, they are all fairly similar
in their structure so the rhythm work shouldn't take long to learn. The
solo, as usual, is another story. And not a very well-told one either...
It's fast in places and at times I'm just guessing based on the scale
and the overall shape of the lines. The Outro solo is well-night impossible
to hear when Mark starts getting fast so after a few bars, I give up.
