Song: COLD GIN Artist: KISS Album: KISS -------------------- Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, kfemil@telia.com Tuned down 1/2-step Comments: Instant classic. Gene plays some cool counterpoint here using the A minor pentatonic scale for the most part. I think it's interesting that he changes octaves right in the middle of that interlude. The riff that ends the song is so firmly imbedded in anyone who has ever listened to this song it's ridiculous.
