  TORPEDO GIRL (from the KISS CD "UNMASKED")
  --------------------
  
  Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
  
  Standard tuning
  
  Comments: In Rhy. Fig 6c it says "Manipulate toggle switch". This is one of
  Ace's trademarks. His guitars, Gibson Les Paul by the way, only have one
  pickup wired, the bridge one. The three-way selector on the Les Paul has the
  bridge in the "down" position, the two pickups in series (or the middle
  pickup alone on the three-pickup model) in the "middle" position, and neck
  pickup in the "up" position. Ace basically grabs the toggle switch and flips
  it between the "up" and "down" position, usually in a triplet feel, thereby
  creating this "now-you-hear-it-now-you-don¥t" sound. If you have a Les Paul
  or a similar guitar, just turn off the volume to the neck pickup and you
  can do the same thing.
