I'M A LEGEND TONIGHT (from the KISS album "KILLERS") -------------------- Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, [email protected] Standard tuning w/ capo at 3rd fret Comments: Well, I guess my own earlier comments came back to bite me in the ass. In a previous attempt at this song I critizised other transcriptions for errors only to perform a crucial one myself. Thanks to those who corrected me. This is played using a capo (which I should have known) but it isn't obvious other than in the open string riff in (for example) Rhy. Fig 1. This is a much better tab than my previous one. Enjoy. 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
