I Love it Loud

KISS
Bass Tab
4.4(8)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Standard tuning

Comments: This probably should have been a full tab but the odd number of

bars in the chorus (5) and the addition of a few bars of what seems to be

2/4 in the last chorus would make that look really strange. That's why

I've chosen this more conventional approach. But, there's really no

repetition here as you'll notice once you start playing. Gene, I can't

see it being anyone else, pulls out the whole bag of tricks and hammers

home small variations on the main themes. Most of the stuff here is played

very staccato. The only notes that are held of their full value are the

open E's that end the chorus.

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
