Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: Another fine example of Gene's tendency to vary things a lot.
He uses both the minor and major third against the B-chord in his usual
way; major third ascending and minor third descending. These call for
some slight position shifts but the rhythmic charcter of the line leave
plenty of time for them. Other signature Gene moves include the diatonic
scalar descent on some chords, chromatic passing notes and leaning quite
heavily on the doiminant seventh of the chord. Because he varies the line
as much as he does there are relatively few Rhy. Figs here.
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 war
(/) = Release war
Tp = Tap wplectrum

TWO TIMER
Gene Simmons
[Rhy. Fig 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2]
She thinks she's high fashion
She thinks she looks divine
And that's what I keep tellin' her
I tell her all the time
And she tells me she likes fast cars
She says she likes mine the best
And just because of that, baby
You think she'd forget the rest, no, no, no
[Rhy. Fig 3]
Just call me a three time loser
That's all I'll ever be
'Cause my baby's such a two timer
You know she's two timing, she's a-two timing me
[Rhy. Fig 4a]
Two timer, my baby is a
