One of the BEST tracks off of HOTTER THAN HELL. This record has to be the
number one album in my opinion. Lots of GREAT songs and GREAT guitar work by
Gene, Ace & Paul.
The starts with Paul outlining the signature riff in this song. This riff is
done many times during the song and there are different ways to play it, so
I have tabbed out the different sections this appears in. They are all
basically the same, just played slightly different. Don't get alarmed by how
many rhythm figures there are, I did it to make this transcription right,
but it is fairly easy. After the intro, Paul and Ace play almost identical
bends, you might think these are Octaves of each other but in fact they are
the same note in two different bends. Paul does a unison bend on the B and
high E strings, while Ace does it on the B and G strings. Ace also plays
some open D strings throughout as not to shadow Paul's riff too much (ala
the Rolling Stones philosphy of rhythm guitar: similiar parts but not
exactly the same).
The Main riff is just two guitars playing the same chords, Paul plays the
Barre Chord positions, while Ace does the open position chords. The chorus
chords are just the same, one guitar plays the single barre chord while
the other guitar plays some fills in between.
Ace's Solo is fairly simple sounding, but it takes some control and taste to
to the bends. Listen to the recording carefully, as it is easy to bend too
far. The bends start and end an octave apart with a few fills in between. A
nice well constructed solo that fits the song beautifully.... Enjoy!
