AIN'T QUITE RIGHT (from the KISS CD "PAUL STANLEY") -------------------- Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com Tuned down 1/2-step Comments: The rhythm doesn't seem like much here but there is actually quite a lot going on. There's the main clean electric on the left, another clean electric on the right which does some quick slides, one overdriven electric which handles the power chords, and finally there's actually a 12-string acoustic which comes in here and there to flesh out the rhythm. Add one overdriven guitar playing small fills (once again during the solo) and one more clean electric playing little fills during the outro and that's quite the guitar army. Of course, the general in charge is the solo guitar which I think Paul played himself. (There are also some E-bow playing after the solo and in the outro but I haven't notated that.)
