Ace Frehley Solo

Live In Largo Maryland, in The Capital Center,July 8 1979,
this one is from the dynasty tour,Ace playing a really funny guitar solo,fireworks,lights,smoke coming out of the pick ups, pure fun,and don't take it so serious because it isn't mean to be that way,so just sit back and enjoy the show.

If you play guitar, you know that Ace solos are not very technical. However, he just set your head on fire with his solos! xD Ace Frehley ROCKS!

[@kingofdragontown9680]

It doesn't matter how technical you play. It matter how memorable you play and for Ace, every lick is his best.

[@user-ee6jm3wu4q]

He does things that are better than what people give him credit for. For example on a lot of his runs he will pick every single note rather than pulling off and hammering on-- it's not over the top but takes a little skill to pick every note like that...more of an intermediate level thing-- but he writes amazing solos that fit the songs which is great

[@johngillespie3409]

If you play guitar you know he doesn't use a whammy bar and pulls and bends all the strings which is way cooler.

[@harrykadaras9459]

​@johngillespie3409 people are comparing him to the mindless shredders of today. Back in the 70s, he was a very respected player for a rock and roll act. Those strings of licks up and down the neck, playing in front of 70,000 people...not as easy as you think....

Ace had '' Feel '' and '' Groove '' and his Vibrato and Sustain and manic bluesy riffs and '' blues box '' solo's were 2nd to none

[@kalebaldwin5398]

Ace's strength as a player is playing within the songs. He always played the right stuff, and it was, and still is, memorable.

[@Carlmichaelrock]

Ace not only tapped first, but he was throwing in classical riffs Bethoven's 5th but malmsteen and Blackmore are recognized for it.

[@pauldunlea6745]

No guitarist in the history of rock n roll had Ace's Bluesy but manic style of riffs. His Vibrato and Sustain and Pentatonic '' Blues Box '' Scales were so individual.

[@bordohockey3774]

This is a joke right? I love ace but really, he's no master bro.

[@ActivateBeastMode1]

​@Bordo Hockey very wrong. His style is playing through huge marshalls and in your face bulldozing through riffs. Not the finesse style thay the van halens and malmsteens later introduced in the 80s. Doesn't make it any less difficult. Ace is one of the purest examples of a classic hard rock lead guitarist

[@pauldunlea3669]

[@van76]

Ace is among the Top 5 most influential guitarists. The success of Anomaly proves to Ace that his solo career is back on track. I have listened to Anomaly everyday since the day it came out in 2009. Whenever I display the pyramid, it gives me good luck.

[@Makai77]

Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson, Buddy Guy, BB King, Jimi, Clapton, Santana, Jimmy Page, George Harrison, Keith Richards, Pete Townshend, EVH. All of them more influential than Ace. I like Ace but he’s not even top 10, at least imo.

[@MatChew75]

His solo s legitimately freaking rock man it's not like the guy said they're not extremely technical but man he just puts together the whole package and it just blows the freaking lid off your head it absolutely enthralls me man every time I hear one of his solos I mean it just does something to me even though you know I'm a huge fan of guys like Frank Zappa Al Di Meola John McLaughlin Robert Fripp Alex lifeson Steve Vai and Buckethead do I need to say more but this guy is still incredible to me is truly from another planet. He's like a smoother and more powerful version of Jimmy Page in my mind

They were the greatest thing ever! The older I got ,I understood what my uncle was saying that they were just 4 Alice Coopers , even Alice has said that . But I love both and to me they are not even close to each other ,they are totally different animals , and both great! Well,Alice is still great ,KISS needs to stop ,after a final 5 shows with the original line up or just 1 short final tour with Ace ,then stop. They can never be as good and they have over stayed their welcome to the party!

Just think if he hadn't auditioned and fell right in,who would've been in the band instead? Would there even have been a KISS? SO GIVE ACE HIS CREDIT HE FOUNDED AND EARNED HIS POSITION AND GAVE US ALL THOSE AWESOME KISS SONGS THAT THE OTHERS HAVE PLAYED THROUGHOUT THE DECADES AND CONTINUE TO TODAY. Don't get me wrong ,I LOVE ALL ERAS OF KISS, but the FOUNDING 4 WILL ALWAYS BE WHAT GOT ME HOOKED. I mean, just read some of the other comments...."

ACE the innovator

[@ioannispapadimitriou6938]

It's true that Jairo's nowhere as famous as Ace. What I like about Ace is how his style isn't the guitar equivalent of rocket science but it gets the job done. It's juuuust technical ENOUGH enough to make those who aren't technical guitarists exhibit a good reaction (not that there aren't any technical shredders who like Ace - Friedman and Gilbert come to mind) yet simple enough to be played by those who aren't necessarily highly "talented." It's gut-level blues riffs & licks. It's catchy.

Paul Daniel Frehley, más conocido como Ace Frehley (n. Nueva York, Estados Unidos, 27 de abril de 1951), es un músico estadounidense célebre por haber sido el guitarrista y uno de los fundadores del grupo Kiss. Junto a Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley y Peter Criss, Frehley formó la mencionada banda en 1973 y asumió en ella la personalidad de «Space Ace» o «Spaceman», debido a su afición por la astronomía y los ovnis. Con el álbum Love Gun de 1977, el músico se estrenó como vocalista y al año siguiente publicó su debut homónimo en solitario, puesto a la venta el mismo día que el de sus compañeros de banda. Tras grabar nueve álbumes de estudio con Kiss, el guitarrista abandonó la formación en 1982 para embarcarse en su carrera en solitario y trabajar en el proyecto Frehley's Comet. 72 años.

@xbox360bro96 yes, you can actually watch in videos from 74 and 74, and Ace does tapping,but with the pick instead of the fingers

[@travisbartram2943]

This is definitely one his better solo performances, I always thought he was much better playing leads with the music going. I hear so many say he wasn't a technical player and I agree in the sense of comparing to the likes of malmsteen,van Halen, ect... but he has such a unique style and picking attack that no one can play exactly like him? Therefore making his style highly technical in its own right 😊👍 I've watched/listened to the best players, instructors ect. Try and play his stuff note for note...and they can't. Partially because he holds his pick different and very tight staccato variant trills with tremendous vibrato bends...I'm a lead guitarist and remember getting frustrated with ace who was my hero, not progressing and becoming technically better during the 80s as i was passing him by at age 17? But as I was progressing and playing more variety of music, I learned it wasn't all about how fast and technical you play but more how you say it...making each note count. Travis Bartram
