Title: Doctor Ice
Artist: Samson
Bassist: Chris Aylmer
Album: Don't Get Mad - Get Even
Tabbed by Daniel Hoehr <dhoehr@surfeu.de> and Chris Aylmer
Being more of a heavy blues rock number than heavy metal, make sure that you
play the eighth-note groove evenly and nicely dampen every note (so no Steve
Harris thunder, please).
Watch out for the little scalar passages that are played in octaves, adding a
bit of Gene Simmons-style glam to the groove.
There are, of course, different versions of the song. This tab represents a mix
of the original Samson recording and a version Chris played with his band
Doctor Ice.
