 ODYSSEY (from the KISS CD "THE ELDER")
 --------------------
 
 Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
 
 Standard tuning
 
 Comments: There isn't much guitar on this one, just three things really:
 the solo and two riffs that appear towards the end. I have done my best at
 deciphering the chordal structure here though and have, where possible,
 transcribed the piano part for guitar. These chords sound kind of weird
 (or terrible, you choose) when played without at least the bass. When
 played to the album it doesn't sound half bad.
 
 
 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
