TALK TO ME (from the KISS-LP "UNMASKED")
----------

transcribed by Mark Perillo (mark@kisstabs.com)

E 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)
(\) = Dive w\bar

The tuning from this song is very weird. Ace seemed to tune strange for this reco
rd or it was
sped up in the studio. You MUST tune your D string to B and use fifth string meth
od to tune the
rest of the guitar, like so:

1) Tune your D string to B
2) Tune the rest of the guitar as follows:
a) Tune the G string to the 4th fret of the D string
a) Tune the B string to the 5th fret of the G string
a) Tune the high E string to the 5th fret of the B string
a) Tune the A string at the 5th fret to the Open D string
a) Tune the low E string at the 5th fret to the open A string

This song has some real interesting un-Ace licks. It must have to do with the fee
l of this song,
which is much more disco than previous efforts.

TALK TO ME
[Rhythm Fig. 1](2x)

[Rhythm Fig. 1](3x)
When I see you, girl you turn my head, you make me dizzy
I get a good vibration
When I look into your big blue eyes, I start to quiver and shake
I get a strange sensation
When you walk by me you strut around, you make me crazy, I get no relaxation

[Rhythm Fig. 2 w/end.1]
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation, talk to me

[Rhythm Fig. 1](3x)
People tell me that you run around and that you're no good
You got a bad reputation
I don't care what all the people say, you know they talk too much
It's a fascination
All I wanna do is talk to you and maybe go out, and form some kind of relation

[Rhythm Fig. 2 w/end.2]
So talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me - why don't you
Talk to me - c'mon and talk to me

[Solo] w/[Rhythm Fig. 3 w/end.1](2x) then [Rhythm Fig. 3 w/end.2]
I just wanna talk to you

[Rhythm Fig. 1](2x)xGirl I wish you knew the way I felt, you think I'm silly, tha
t it's infatuation
So we better get together soon, because I need you girl
I can't stand the frustration, so

[Rhythm Fig. 2a] w/[Riff. 1] at end
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me - why don't you
Talk to me - c'mon and talk to me

[Rhythm Fig. 4] (Until fade)
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me - I just wanna talk to you
(repeats out)
