Standard tuning
Comments: There are plenty of Rhy. Figs here but fear not, it is just the
old KISS stand-by of twin guitars. As is customary on most KISS albums there
is one guitar panned left and one panned right (solos are centered) and they
have a tendency to play similar but slightly different parts. Thus, there's
a lot to tab. I personally love the way the solos first part kind of matches
the word "scream" in the lyric. Very cool.
