BABY DRIVER (from the KISS-LP "ROCK AND ROLL OVER")
-----------
transcribed by Mark Perillo (mark@kisstabs.com)
Eb Tuning
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
r^ = release-bend half-step
h^ = hammer-on
p^ = pull-off
~ = Vibrato
* = Natural Harmonic
#(#) = Trill
** = Artificial Harmonic
x = Muted String (Palm Muting)
X = Muted String (Fretboard Muting)
This is one of my favorite tracks off of "Rock And Roll Over".
A pretty basic rhythm part with the same chords played by Ace & Paul
in different positions. Ace's lead work is based primarily on the G minor
blues scale. He uses some cool double stop riffs and repeating bends
to accentuate the lead.
