Song: GOD OF THUNDER Artist: KISS Album: DESTROYER -------------------- Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, kfemil@telia.com Tuned down 1/2-step Comments: This was requested because there wasn't a good version available. I haven't seen the other versions bu this is the real deal. Gene plays simple stuff during the non-vocal parts and then throws in a rhythmic counterpoint during the verses. It's straight- forward, in the pocket, and simple. All in all it provides a good base of the guitar work. 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 Rhythm Fig. 1 Gb|------------------------------------------------| Db|------------------------------------------------| Ab|--7----7----7----7-----7----7----7----7---------| Eb|-----------------------------------------0------| < - - - 3x - - - > Rhythm Fig. 2 Gb|------------------------------------------------| Db|------------------------------------------------| Ab|--7----7----7----7------7----7----7----7--------| Eb|--------------------0---------------------0-----| Rhythm Fig. 3 Gb|----------------------------------7h9---7h9-----| Db|------------------------------------------------| Ab|--7----7----7----7------7----7------------------| Eb|--------------------0---------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 4 Gb|------------------------------------------------| Db|------------------------------------------------| Ab|-------7---------7-----------7---------7--------| Eb|----0---------7-----0-----0---------7-----0-----| Gb|------------------------------------------------| Db|------------------------------------------------| Ab|-------7---------7--3-----0--3--5--5b-5--3h-5---| Eb|----0---------7---------------------------------| Gb|------------------------------------------------| Db|------------------------------------------------| Ab|-------7---------7-----------7---------7--------| Eb|----0---------7-----0-----0---------7-----0-----| Gb|----------------------------------7h9---7h9-----| Db|------------------------------------------------| Ab|-------7---------7-----------7------------------| Eb|----0---------7-----0-----0---------------------| Rhythm Fig. 5 Gb|------------------------------------------------| Db|------------------------------------------------| Ab|--3--3-----------------5--5----7----------------| Eb|------------3--3--------------------------------| Gb|-----------------------------------------------| Db|-----------------------------------------------| Ab|--3--------7---------0--0--0--0--0--2----------| Eb|-----------------------------------------------| Gb|------------------------------------------------| Db|------------------------------------------------| Ab|--3--3-----------------5--5----7----------------| Eb|------------3--3--------------------------------| Gb|------------------------------------------------| Db|-----------------5------------------------------| Ab|--3--2--3--2--3-------5----5--5--5--5--5--5--5--| Eb|------------------------------------------------| Rhythm Fig. 6 Gb|------------------------------------------------| Db|------------------------------------------------| Ab|--7--7------------------------------------------| Eb|------------------------------------------------|
