Nothin' To Lose

Kiss

Tuned down 1/2-step

Comments: Here we see a prime example of Gene's way of playing of chords.
He outlines them using the chordal tones connected with a sixth and throws
in the minor third over the major chords to get that real rock 'n' roll
feel. Also, check out the cool chromatic walk up to E in the chorus. Classic
Gene alright.

\    = slide down
