/ KISS / Kiss Unmasked (1980) / Shandi guitar tab

SHANDI (from the KISS CD "UNMASKED")
--------------------

Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com

Standard tuning

Comments: Kind of a top-of-the-pops type song this. The guitar work though,
which might be all Paul, is good and a little out of the ordinary for KISS.
Especially the second two bars of the main riff. Very percussive and kind
of funky. Nice fills too. There's an acoustic (probably a 12-string) through
most of the song. I've only notated the chords in most places. Check the
recording for the rhythm pattern.


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
