Song: LICK IT UP Artist: KISS Album: LICK IT UP -------------------- Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, kfemil@telia.com Standard tuning Comments: Regardless of who played this part, and I don?t think it?s Gene, he had a relatively easy job. Sure, there are a few minor variations but all in all this is a breeze, kind of the ultimate live song for the bass player. Just pump open A?s for three fourths of the song and wave to the crowd. This Song was previously tabbed by Greg Miranda and his tab missed the few variations that do occur and was, in my mind, kind of hard to read. No part of his original tab has been used in this one.
