  SOMEWHERE BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL (from the KISS CD "HOT IN THE SHADE")
  --------------------
  
  Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
  
  Standard tuning
  
  Comments: This is one of the best bass sounds KISS has ever put to tape.
  Gene's main bass has a biting punsch in the mid-range and with a touch
  of overdrive (the real tube overdrive, no distorsion here) the sound has
  an unmistakeable growl to it. On top of that the line is sometimes doubled
  by a synth bass (in the verse and indicated places in the tab). I kind of
  like how the low E anchors the verse while the guitar plays various chords
  over it. Notes in parenthesis are played every once in a while.
  
  
  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 wbar
  (/)  = Release wbar
  Tp   = Tap wplectrum
