transcribed by Mark Perillo (mark@kisstabs.com) Eb Tuning 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 r^ = release-bend half-step h^ = hammer-on p^ = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill ** = Artificial Harmonic x = Muted String (Palm Muting) X = Muted String (Fretboard Muting) Black Diamond is one of the best known KISS songs of all time. It has been used for years as the ending of almost every KISS show. This version features the decending pitch at the end of the song. Ace bases his leads on the A minor blues scale. He uses some cool string skipping and pull-offs and hammer-ons to improvise on the basic blues positions. This creates some great lead work and easy to remember lines.
