Ace Frehley was the reason I started playing guitar.
pretty much the same for me (and a bit of Angus)
he was my influence also, played a les paul even though i hated it, played it until i loved it
Me too, about '76. Also discovered what 'lust' was from a black Les Paul Custom at the local music store while i had a Sears beginer acoustic.
Yep - Ace and Tony Iommi were my first and greatest heroes back in the day. Kiss Alive was one of the first rock records I bought back in 1975 when I was 12 years old. Huge influence.
You know, even though I haven't got into Kiss since they put our their solo albums in the 1970's was a kid and had Ace's, which I just came across in My Late Mother's record collection, (cool Mom kept all my great old records. :) ) same with me, as Rod Amo said, also a Lot of Angus with me, and Ted Nugent of all people---That guy can play, might not agree with his ways, but he can bloody Rock!!!
Ace Frehley is a drastically underrated guitar player.
By who?
Underrated song writer too
More like the other way around.
Wel boys i was a ace fan the first time i saw that guy on tv back in 77 he is the reason i mest my live up playing guitar drums and all the otherthings but ace was just fine as a g.player or performer nothing less nothing more.rhe guy doesn't knoew what he's doing haha.tolld bij himself.
You mean Bob Koolick. That’s who played Aces licks.
I think Ace Frehley got a lot of people in guitar.. you can say what you want about KISS and Gene and Paul but you cannot deny Ace Frehley his style is incredible..
Danny Majors he’s the Don Felder of KISS !
Ace Frehley got so many people in guitar who went on to becoming major musicians. Whats many people never understand how influential he is. They prefer to explain he's not a perfect player. But it's those imperfections that make him a real rock god. Ace brought to Kiss a signature sound, and more importantly a cool persona that was so different to Paul, Gene and Peter. He was also able to knock out a very solid rock song. Sadly being with Kiss had him listed under Gene and Paul when it came to whose songs would end up on Kiss albums. That left Ace with the best songs for his amazing first solo album.
You are right man.Ace is the KING OF ROCK AND ROLL!
@leokimvideo
Actually, KISS wanted ACE to contribute songs for every album and did NOT limit the amount they put on records.
ACE himself said that once he knew they were gonna do solo albums, he hoarded all his best stuff for it.
Kevin you're right, I heard him say that on an interview 🤙
@@kevinleonard2368 yeah, rock and roll over didn’t have any writing credits from Ace because he was saving them for the solo.
He probably got a lot of them into booze and Dope
Refreshing to see the younger generation recognize the contribution Frehley made to guitar playing. In a world full of shredders, the fundamentals are also worth a look. Many have picked up a guitar because of his playing and the mystique of Kiss. Any chance of covering that Frehley chop in the 100,000 years solo?
Ace in his prime was one of the best ever
Hey Jaimie :)
Chops-wise? - No way.
But in terms of sheer EXCITEMENT? - Definitely maybe. : )
@@SelectCircle chops wise? LOL, now do jimmy page, keith richards, hendrix, etc etc.
lmfao no
Guys, try playing along with 100,000 years. Then tell me his chops were sub-par.
9:50 "That'll lead to other licks, of course. They always do."
That off handed comment is the most succinct description of Ace's style that we'll ever hear. Great video, and nice work copping Ace's feel.
Excellent guitarist and teacher. Above all I appreciate that he's constantly showing what to do--while explaining. A lot of otherwise good guitar teachers fall in love with hearing themselves talk. Don't get me wrong, I love talking about guitar playing. But when it comes to online one-way lessons, showing is everything. This guy has the right balance and ties every section to the bigger picture of what you're trying to achieve.
takfam07 Thanks for this comment. I appreciate it.
I want to learn the entire Love Her All I Can solo SO bad.
Ace Frehley is probably the best guitarist in rock ‘n’ roll history that nobody talks about everything so melodic everything has purpose he is the greatest
Ace Frehley was my favorite growing up too and the reason I started playing (I started playing guitar in 1974).
Why I think it's so easy to play the riffs of your first and favorite artist is that you've listened to the Artist's work so often you don't need to memorize the riff in your head before learning it, it's already there imprinted from back in your youth. As such, memorizing the piece your learning is half the battle. Start off with that portion already completed and you're half way there.
Great content and lesson, thank you.
You can easily see Dimebag was no kidding when he said he's a fan of Ace Frehley...
LOL
Ace was literally his biggest inspiration.
I don't even play guitar but I really enjoyed watching this because I adore Ace so much. I'm a 70s baby and he was my first guitar hero. 🖤🚀
Excellent job. Like many here, Ace was the guy who made me want to learn electric guitar. I found guitarists later that I liked better, but there's a lot of Ace in my own playing - I mean a LOT. I had the smoking guitar poster on my wall. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Ace Frehley is the kind of guitarist, who makes you want to play the guitar. He has this cool sounding riffs and solos, that some kind of invite you in.
You said it RIGHT!!!!
Short of Ace's "behind the player," probably the Best lesson on the Spaceman's style - KUDOS!!
Ace Frehley is the reason I STILL play guitar....I'm sorry but by any criteria that matters, I say Ace Frehley is the greatest lead guitar player of all time. I've told the story before, but there is NO OTHER GUITAR PLAYER, I have ever seen or heard of that had an arena of 20,000 people singing along with every guitar solo for an entire show. On the KISS 96' reunion tour I watched it first hand. Don't know how often it happened, but that night it did...gives me chills just thinking about it, those solos were imprinted so deeply in the minds of the people there that they could sing them like a chorus (or do their best impression of it) show me one other guitar player who wields that kind of power and I'll concede that Ace has an equal.
That's one of the things Slash stated about Ace. Solos you can mimick with your mouth and that stick with you forever. 🤟👍
I witnessed the same in Johnson City, TN! Still get goosebumps thinking of it.
Great point #Terrible.dee. But I'll take that challenge and offer Mr. David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. I've seen them twice and experienced the same thing you mentioned when Dave breaks into 'Wish You Were Here' and 'Comfortably Numb'. The crowd sings along with those solos as if they were lyrics. And yes, it's amazing to hear 25,000 people doing it at the same time. Cheers.
Og fool for your lovin solo stuck in my brain for 4 decades, till I couldn't remember where this melody in my head come from, rediscovered it, and was really taken back. Yes I grew up listening to kiss, I was always Ace for 3 holoweens. Was so into Ace, I had all the same ( obvious) short commings...😅
My favorite Ace Frehley trick that I use is to play something I’ve played a million times, make it sound great, then say “I don’t know what the hell I’m doing”
practicing ACE'S solos made me a better and more confident player, very cool stuff, always like great instructional vids
ACE FOREVER!!!!!
@6:17 - unison bends ... I've had such a hard time doing this bend, now you teach me to use two fingers ... what an 'a-ha moment' - nice to meet another player that respects the techniques of the mighty Ace Frehley! @Martin Smith ... me too. My brother brought home KISS ALIVE from Japan in 1979, and I swore Ace was talking to me through his guitar. Started playing then and even have a guitar tattoo with 'ACE' in the middle of it.
I admire your dedication to the guitar. You are very talented.
Great job showing some of one of the greatest guitarists trademark lead licks! Enjoyed and Thanks for sharing. Ace ROCK'S!
You killed it! So crazy to hear all that stuff broken down after a lifetime of listening to Kiss!
this is the most seriuos and complete review on Ace's Liks ever. really good job! It tooks me 2 years to learn many of them but still struggling on others and this video will helps a lot. thanks!
Actually Ace has lessons of a lot of his music on here. I like to get it straight from the man himself.
Your guitar never burst into flame! Ace rulz! Thanks!
This is the instructive video I always wished someone would make! The "How To Play That Cool Shit Ace Comes Up With" lesson! Thank you!
Ace is a very underrated player
16:56 one hammer then big bend shake, 18:13 half step bend ie blue note bend G$, 19:42 Single string scale descending run 21:22 pentatonic triplet pull-off 5 3 to the open string e.g.to the open G$ if you're in key of G , 22:05 6 3 open triplet pull off, 23:10 E16 12 pull off raise pinky to 17th; move down do same D then C i.e. follow the chords 25:00 climb the pentatonic in fast 3s; 8 5 8, next $5, back to original 8 so on.
You kinda look like Ace w short hair. Great stuff man!!
Cire Zetroc I was thinking the exact same thing Bro.
Cire Zetroc I was just thinking that ,he has the same eyes!
He looks a lot like John Cusak.
Yes! you do resemble Ace! with his shorter KISS "Music from the Elder" Hairstyle!
I agree - you were the dude who played guitar on "The Elder" 1981
ACE FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!
Great work!! You really have Ace's stuff down, and he is as worthy of study as any guitar player in history. As I've said before, he is THE ONLY guitarist for whom I have stood in an arena and heard 20,000 people singing along with every guitar solo, hearing a sold-out arena sing the "Deuce" solo note for note in 96' was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen at a concert. It really made me respect the power of KISS. I was amazed at how deeply ingrained the music was in the publics conciseness.
OMG OMG OMG! I AM UNDERSTANDING WHAT I'M HEARING IN SOLOS! (Jaw dropped and stary eyed) I'm really gonna cry...thanks man.
ace made me start playing 30 years ago,this is the most helpful of all videos to me thank you for this!
My favorite guitar of all times!!!
Ace is one of the greatest ever!
Don’t believe me? Imagine life without his solos! Imagine Kiss without Ace! He wasn’t one of the technicians of guitars but as far as great sounding solos that fit the song and the mood perfectly, there’s no one better! And he had some killer, killer, chops! Not technical but killer sounding none the less!
I remember being 10 years old and his leads just made the song! I loved his playing then and I love it still today at 52!
He was and still is a great live performer.
Thanks for Ace F's Guitar Techniques
Very cool. I'm a bass player in a KISS tribute band and really enjoyed seeing some of Acr's iconic licks broken down like this. really enjoying your channel as I try to build up my 6 string skill set for other projects. Thanks!
For me too, Ace was the main reason I started loving music and playing guitar!!!!
Joe Perry, Jerry Cantrell, Billy Corgan, Jack White are all musts. Please do these!!
thanks for these lessons,by far the best ''how to''guitar lessons for my liking,been playing for 30 odd yrs,this has re lit my fire,cant beat Ace and Angus
Such a great lesson here Mike! Your channel is fantastic! Ace has influenced just about everybody in some way whether they know it or not!! Thanks for this great lesson and for all you do!
As a kid it was easy to go from 50s rock* to Kiss, mostly because of Ace's solos being so reminiscent of Chuck Berrys' style.
*Although born in 1970, at a young age I was given a stack of old 50s records and a radiogram, it kept me occupied for years!
I'll have to say that even at a very young age I noticed that Ace "borrowed" a lot of Jimmy Page, but he did it well and he didn't clone licks. He made it his own style. He's one of the coolest rock icons in history. Love me some Ace.
He is the first one to say that himself. He said seeing Zeppelin open up for iron butterfly at the Fillmore east changed his playing style. Let me go rock and roll sounds as if Jimmy Page could be playing it
YOUR A GREAT GUITAR PLAYER BRO!!!!
gotta love them unison bends
My favorite guitarist. The one and only Spaceman.
Great lesson, thank you for this!
Thanks for this entire Guitar Techniques series, it is really eye opening & helpful.
And just plain fun too!
The solo off of kiss alive (100,000 years) is my fav ace Solo.
I never new you loved Ace frehley so much. You have my respect
Thank you so much for this video and the section on "Unison Bends". I've always loved this about Ace's playing but could never figure it out myself. Thank you!
I was a HUGE KISS fan when I started playing ('74-'75) but I guess I didn't realize how much of my repertoire of riffs came from Ace until just now. Wow!
Amazing!!! I could only dream to play like you. God Bless You 🐰
25:00 - It's "Love Gun".
Great video, well demonstrated and explained. Ace's solos were so clever and melodic and badass!
Scotty Moore (early Elvis guitarist) and Chuck Berry simultaneously then Ace brought my guitar playing up 12 levels.
I was mesmerized by Ace's talent
These are gold! Thanks Mike
Not too far off to say that Ace Frehley was one of the most influential guitarists in the 70's. For better or worse (I say better- I loved Kiss), Kiss made a huge impression on tons of kids because of their stage act, make-up, and personalities. Alot of those kids started off remembering and playing Ace licks.
Daniel Telecaster as a kid in the 70's I remember KISS as a bunch of comic book superhero rock stars. They had this whole mystique because of the makeup and the firebreathing. They made rock music a real spectacle.
Terrific video. I am looking forward to spending some real time learning all of these. Ace is one of those guys that when you hear play, you know it's him. Thanks for sharing. What are you playing through? I really like your tone too.
79 Fender Deluxe Reverb, Dragoon Overdrive, and sometime compression. :)
Thanks, great video!
I love me them tasty licks! KISS and Ace were hugely influentual on my playing. Keep it coming bro. Loving these videos!
"Ace Frehley' s style is original and unique''
Ace is the reason I can’t play lol! I play like him, everyone says ace can’t play so there you go! All jokes, Jimi Hendrix is in my opinion the best and is my favorite guitar player, but ace is my hero! I’d never got into music without kiss and ace!
Great video. Great examples of the style of Ace! Enjoyed!
great lesson I have used some of these techniques before but having you explain them made a big difference in my approach to them...thank you sir!
Ace Frehley is so underrated
For me Ace is the best guitar player and my favourite guitar is he’s guitar because it’s just great
Ace Frehley is my single most favorite, it doesn't have to be the hardest, but it has to drive you up the wall. I was a kid and I heard KISS on the radio debut and got a guitar. There's something special about that band, when you have that chemistry, all band members need to get over themselves and work it out no matter the issue. No Matter!
I really enjoyed that. Nice job dude.
I clicked this outta curiosity and was blown away by your vibrato
My first Guitar Hero...
Sounds like Joe Walsh, in James Gang
Excellent tutorial
Ace Frehley: The One And The Only
Speaking as a huge Ace fan and mediocre guitar player, thanks for this video! You made easy to watch and play.
Six years after you posted this, but man have I destroyed a ton of picks playing like Ace! And a couple of weeks away from new Ace too! So looking forward to getting 10,000 Volts!
Guitar is perfect.
2:31 and 2:44 - your fast vibrato is amazing - totally Ace level!
Damn. Timed trills to a 110 drmbeat is a killer!
Thank you sir! I believe this will be VERY helpful to me!
Great watched a couple of your videos love em u really get there vibs
Makes sense, Dime loved Ace and this has alot of the sounds Dime infused into his style.
Beautiful guitar man
Nice lesson!
Paul Stanley disliked this 47 times. Great video Im picking up the guitar after a 9 year break.
Excellent - well done.
Thank you for this video. I've been getting back to my roots lately which all began with Ace Frehley... I've been learning loads of old KISS songs and have noticed a lot of his habits fro song to song, so finding this video was kind of reinforcing what I've been finding on my own.
Awesome man. Ace haters beware, we're rebuilding the army!
I use most of these techniques because I saw ace do them
Outstanding guitarist..wow very very tight.....
Great lesson
Going to my first ever kiss show in april!!!❤❤❤❤❤ i love everything about ace ...im actully going to the show with his makeup on
Ace is still kicking ass his originals are awesome and Ace was underrated severally underrated and he was the sound that drove KISS on the 70s my first concert was 1978 kiss seattle with my dad I won tickets from KISW for being 9th caller with the correct trivia answer and it's a time never to forget my dad with Gene Simmons and him towering over dad with his tongue wagging over him. Picture in my safety deposit box for my grandson.
nice lesson. I do almost all those things and frequently unconsciously. KISS was the first band I listened to. your video did a nice job of showing the way ace differentiated himself from Hendrix, Clapton, and Page who were obviously his prime sources.
Outstanding!
The 12th fret bar + 15th hammer on/pull offs was part of a big solo on his most recent solo album. Funny how that works.
great lesson! how about the tremolo picking in the first phrase of the black diamond (after the unison bends) great technique
I love that people know about Black Diamond! Good call.
i dont care how fast or complex you can play. if you can make a guitar cry youre in my top 10.
Cobo' 75 Ace is bang on HOT on the 6 stringer
I always wanted John Cusack to teach me my favorite guitar player's techniques
And I always wanted a laser targeting system so technologically advanced that it could incinerate the head of UA-cam commenters that think they’re funny but are just stupid and juvenile.
Would you consider making a Neil GIraldo techniques video or even a Jeff Beck techniques video?
