  ODYSSEY (from the KISS CD "THE ELDER")
  --------------------
  
  Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
  
  Standard tuning
  
  Comments: Almost a musical number this but I think the melody is good.
  Also, you gotta love those chords. The bass does nothing spectacular,
  it just holds down the fort and outlines the chords. Dig the contrasting
  descending and ascending motions in the verse and the chorus.
  
  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
