WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS (from the KISS CD "ANIMALIZE")
--------------------
Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: I think the riffs here are alright, nothing out of the ordinary
but they work. Guitars and bass follow each other around and just string
together a a sons from these, in essence, two riffs (with two variations).
Quite possibly the shortest tab I'll ever do.
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
