YOUNG AND WASTED (from the KISS album "LICK IT UP")

Standard tuning
Comments: There are only about three riffs here but they appear in a number
of different variations. That?s why I?ve called them Rhy. Fig 1a etc. Gene,
who I?m sure plays this one (check out the quirky end to Rhy. Fig 2d), just
follow the guitars and hammer out the driving riffs relentlessly. Also, check
out the quote from himself at the end of Rhy. Fig 4. That very riff, but in
the key of A, is the first bass part on ALMOST HUMAN. Very cool.
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
