  NEW YORK GROOVE (from the KISS CD "ACE FREHLEY")
  --------------------
  
  Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
  
  Tuned down 1/2-step
  
  Comments: This bass performance comes courtesy of Ace himself and it shows.
  The line is supportive and contains no flash and no melodic embellishments
  like most of his bass playing (the only exception that comes to mind is
  Torpedo girl). However, the line works because it actually grooves. If you
  hit it right the whole track comes to life.
  
  Key:

      = slide down
