Song: PLASTER CASTER Artist: KISS Album: LOVE GUN -------------------- Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, kfemil@telia.com Tuned down 1/2-step Comments: Pretty standard fare for the bassist with some experience with Gene's style. Here we find the usual diatonic outlining of chords, the chromatic connecting phrases and little fill. Check out the diad (making an F5) during Rhy. Fig 3. It is a slightly unusual move for Gene but it has turned up before (although I can't remember where). 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 w\bar (/) = Release w\bar Tp = Tap w\plectrum Rhy.
