Kiss - Under The Gun guitar tab

UNDER THE GUN (from the KISS CD "ANIMALIZE")

--------------------

Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com

Tuned down 1/2-step

Comments: This is a fast song. The riffs though, are fairly easy. I think

that Rhy. Fig 5 is one of the coolest riffs on this album. It is really

simple but just kicks ass. Plus, you get to hear the really nice semi-

overdriven sound clearly during that part. I think this song suffers a lot

from the production. Each of the sounds probably sound really good one by

one, like the guitars for instance, but just turn into much because every-

thing tries to occupy the entire sonic spectrum. The solo is, well, Mark.

Lots of whammy abuse, the sound sucks donkeys (is he doubling these or are

the effects so totally over-the-top?), and there's some fast stuff as usual.

I do like the outro-run though, even though it's just a scalar sequence. I

think it's harmonized in thirds like I've written here.

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
