Kissin The Boo Boo tab by Kimock Steve Band

Kissin' the Boo Boo
Performed by Steve Kimock Band

Tabbed by Alex Geringer-Sameth (alex at voltzone.com)

I do solemnly swear that this tab is all my own work.


Kissin' the Boo Boo is a great instrumental that's quite fun to jam
along with. The recording I have is about 11 minutes and is pretty
much a continuous jam over the basic rhythm.

The recording I'm using is from the December 5, 2002 show
by Steve Kimock Band. I've heard this song played by Kimock multiple
times and it always follows this progression so rest assured.

I personally find that the rhythm part of the song sounds the best on
an acoustic guitar with the lead on a warm clean electric.


The entire song revolves around a simple progression
between G and Am.

G (xx9787) , (xxx433) and (355433)
Am (xxx555)
Em (022000)
D (xx0232)


The song starts (and continues in the background throughout):
MAIN THEME:

e---7---7---7-7-7----5---7---5-7-5----3---3---3-3-3----5---5---7-7-5-
b---8---8---8-8-8----5---5---5-5-5----3---3---3-3-3----5---5---5-5-5-
g---7---7---7-7-7----5---5---5-5-5----4---4---4-4-4----5---5---5-5-5-
D---9---9---9-9-9----------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------



Repeat that 4x and then begin Steve's first riff...
(Play this over the main theme)

RIFF 2:
e-------10--------7--10-----8---12-----12--10--8----7----------------
b---8----------8---------------------------------------8-----8h10----
g--------------------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------------------

                      Repeat riff 3x  ...then play riff
                       w/this ending   with this one
e---7-----------------|-8p7--------|----10---10---10--|
b------(8)---10---10--|------10---:|------------------|
g---------------------|------------|------------------|
A---------------------|------------|------------------|
D---------------------|-----------:|------------------|
E---------------------|------------|------------------|





RIFF 3:
                      w/ this ending 3x ... then w/ this ending
e---------------------------|----------|-------------|
b---------------------------|---------:|-------------|
g---------------------------|----------|-------------|
D---------------------------|----------|-------------|
A-------5-5----2--5--3------|-5-------:|---5--5--5---|
E---3------3------------3-3-|---5--2---|-------------|


     This is an alternate version of the above line using the open notes:
          Play whichever sounds better to you.

          e----------------------------|-----------|-----------|
          b----------------------------|----------:|-----------|
          g----------------------------|-----------|-----------|
          D------0-0-------0-----------|-0---------|--0--0--0--|
          A-------------2-----3--------|---0------:|-----------|
          E---3------3-----------3-3---|-----2--3--|-----------|


Then......


Hit the big Em and alternate between Em and G

   Em   G   Repeat Em G (4 counts each) 4x then hit an open D chord
e--0-  -3-                                                 -2-
b--0-  -3-                                                 -3-
g--0-  -4-                                                 -2-
D--2-  -5-                                                 -0-
A--2-  -5-                                                 ---
E--0-  -3-                                                 ---

During this time Steve jams around the G major scale or
the Em pentatonic (feel free to through in the blues notes).

After the open D return to the main theme.


                      |
                  o o |
                  o o |
                      | REPEAT THIS ENTIRE TAB OVER
                      | and over as many times as
                      | you like. Just keep jamming
                  o o | the whole way through.
                  o o |
                      |


If you listen, the entire song is a giant jam on G major and
Em pentatonic with brief bursts of chromatic scales and blues
notes. The main theme is always continuing in the background
except for the Em G part and RIFF 3.

Good luck. This song is a lot of fun. Don't hesitate to send
me email.
