 JUST A BOY (from the KISS CD "THE ELDER")
 --------------------
 
 Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
 
 Tuned down 1/2-step
 
 Comments: Another good song from this much under-appreciated album. The
 bass-work here is simple and to the point. Some slight melodic passing
 notes is about as exciting as it gets.
 
 Key:

     = 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 wbar
 (/)  = Release wbar
 Tp   = Tap wplectrum
