Kiss – I Want You tab

Tuned down 1/2-step

Comments: IÂ¥ve arranged the tabs here so that the a-version of each is the
guitar on the left and the b-version is the one on the right (most of
the time). Of course, sometimes they play the same thing (even though 
the guitar on the right kind of weaves in and out of the mix in a strange
fashion) and there are other guitars that pop up for fun. The first part 
of the solo is by Paul and the second is Ace. I think, but IÂ¥m not sure 
about this, that Paul comes back to finish the solo off for the last four 
bars (last two staffs). It sounds a lot like his vibrato there.
