#THOU SHALT NOT (from the KISS CD "REVENGE")
#
Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: Much like on Spit Ive decided to not notate a part here. During
these parts the guitars are just playing a B5 chord in different syncopations.
So, where it says "See comments" play B5 until it feels good. And, all Gs
Played on the 6th string have a slight bend to them. I like this solo, some
cool b5s, some fast pentatonic riffing, a quote from the classical somposer Grieg, and a few trills to finish things off. Not your standard Bruce Kulick
solo.
Key:

\ = slide down
b = bend (whole step)
b^ = bend (1/2 step)
b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps)

h = hammer-on
p = pull-off

** = Artificial Harmonic

I lived most of my life in New York City
I was born and raised in the promised land
One day this man in black said, "Listen Jack"
Told me I was chosen, to kiss the ring on his hand
Rhy. ig 7
He said "Kindly reconsider the sins of your past"
And I said, "Mister you can kindly kiss my ass"
