UNDERTONES TEENAGE KICKS Transcribed by: STAMATIS VLASSOPOULOS Email: S.P.Vlassopoulos@bradford.ac.uk NOTES: The song opens with the drums, so the guitar part starts from the second bar. I've writen the chords in TAB, and the time values (rhythem) above the tab. The song is quite easy to play. I haven't transcribed the solos but the D# blues scale should do for both. Distortion is essential.
