BABY DRIVER (from the KISS-LP "ROCK AND ROLL OVER")

-----------

transcribed by Mark Perillo

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.
