Ace Frehley of KISS | Guitar Moves Interview

[@boomgoodPrime]

A little ashamed to say this episode, when originally posted, got me into KISS. I'm glad it finally happened

[@user-pl7lr5dn8q]

onlu the albums with ace are really worth it anyways

[@curtkrone8214]

No shame there. We all find our way to Ace in our own way. All that matters is getting there.

[@xwhite2020]

Nothing to be ashamed about. Kiss is extremely pure rock music. Sure they chased the musical fashions at times and they missed the mark ocasionally but there's some real gold in the big messy discography.

[@Muppio]

The genuine excitement coming from Matt is so pure

[@P3t3rPizzarelli]

You're right it's so pure and wholesome such an epic big chungus moment that I didn't know I needed but I'm all for it

He's so giddy it's almost contagious.

I love uncle ace, I don't care what anyone says about his playing ability or this and that, he's just so fucking great

[@lanceash]

"Uncle Ace." like it.

[@neart2810]

People can say whatever they want about his playing but it sure worked out for him. He even admits he doesnt know what he is doing. Also he influenced alot of guitar players. I think he rocks the hell out of a guitar

[@Ch4rlie1987]

More better then Slash on that Gibson. He really rocks!

A plumber that doesn't know what he is doing on guitar is the best thing ever. ACE is the real sound of KISS. Dressed to kill is about right...

[@Killerklownsfromouterspace]

Matt’s so geeked out and I don’t blame him! Ace was the reason I picked up a guitar when I was 10. Well, it all started with a tennis racket and a guitar shortly thereafter. Thanks Ace!

[@sage1682]

I love how Ace isn't shy about grabbing a guitar and playing to show us whats up, where other artists will just wanna talk and barely touch the guitar

Him and dean ween were the best guests. Very down to earth cool ass dudes

[@pjstockcrew4214]

This is one of greatest videos on the internet. Ace Frehley is a guitar god.

[@crispyrobot77]

Matt CONGRATS Bro! The opportunity to play/jam with Ace Frehley (the Ace who launched a Thousand Guitars) is a dream come true that we fellow guitarists will live vicariously through you. TY! Although KI** is done, Ace is just getting started.

[@Alchemister5]

I have never been a KISS fan but I love this interview. Guitar Moves reminds me of learning guitar with my friends growing up.

[@lanterns]

Ace may or may not realize that he is embracing the "beginner's mind" approach and by doing so has unlocked the secret to being original while also experiencing joy. His mantra "I don't even know what I'm doing!" is Zen to the core.

[@ottomattix86]

Ace needs more credit. Plain and simple. He absolutely blew my ears off in 08. Caught a stick from the drummer too.

[@oyemimelaza]

I have a Cheshire Cat grin on my face as I'm just finding out about this episode having been made. Can't believe I missed it somehow, unless it's only being uploaded now. Thank you Matt. Long live the real Ace of Spades.

[@lamontprospect9974]

I never realized what a great guitarist he was. In my opinion, he's the best part of kiss, always was, and always will be. Is incredibly fast and yet he's so humble. This is an amazing interview great job. 🕊️🙏❤️

[@gamby16a]

Ace is sloppy and a ton of Instagram room rockers have better technique, but Ace is Ace and he's the one who played all that stuff that influenced generations of guitarists. I'm not even a big fan, but i loved seeing him playing up close, talking shop. Fantastic segment.

[@RememberTheRegs]

Same. I've never been a Kiss fan. But recently I've seen a fair few interviews with Ace and he always comes across as down to earth yet no nonsense.

[@daeds.paints]

Exactly my thoughts, most stuff nowadays is too perfect and sterile, to be honest. Not even interesting to the ears. Long live the kings!

[@RememberTheRegs]

​@keenanwhitham4920 @daeds.paints Compeltely agree there. It's like someone's unique inflections when they speak. Without those, a conversation would be bland, boring and devoid of any emotion or human quality. All that is missing froma lot of music today. There's no character or personality. I notcied that with my own guitar playing. I was trying to be 'perfect' but then what's the point if your own character and style doesn't come through?

[@aleksik4028]

Some stuff needs that "sloppines".

[@oyemimelaza]

I'd rather put on a Kiss record than to have to sit through yet another perfectly generic Instagram replicant. Any frickin' day 'til the day I croak.

[@ReeseChown]

I adore his sloppy "falling down the stairs" type flow, it's not endless notes crammed into a bar of music. Great unintentional harmonics too

[@nicholascarroll8304]

This is pure unadulterated joy incarnate.

[@The_whimsickal_artist]

Ace is brilliant 👍🏻🎸

[@gregartman9827]

I'm amazed this channel isn't gigantic. I'm a bass player but I love his interviews and how he uses the medium to open up the artists.

[@howardcox2918]

Born in 72,in the KISS Army by 77,Ace was my first poster. The KISS Dynasty album came with s poster,that was my 2nd poster.

[@PMC47]

Thanks for reposting Matt. I watched this one a pile of times on the old channel. Ace was my first guitar hero back in the 70s. Mvp of his old band🤘

[@danknight3557]

This was f***n fantastic please don't stop making these videos dude❤ these legends aren't going to be around forever we need as much wisdom as we can get it's so beautiful to see thank you 😍

[@MickOBrien-MOB]

The Ace is King. Listening and watching him play is like his own language.

[@jacobkochutin1436]

Oh man you played Deuce with Ace Frehley...holy shit! 🤘

[@robertedwards3822]

I love how ace is so unpretentious. “I don’t know what I’m doing” some guys after they got famous would be trying to put on how great they are but he’s just like I don’t really know the language and I never really learned the right way to play. That is classic. Considering probably my top six favorite guitar solos in my life are from Ace! I am firmly of the opinion that if he hadn’t come along, kiss would’ve been an average band. The magic and alchemy of the four guys in kiss is just one of those magical things that comes along by pure chance. Without ace, there’s no kiss.

[@magnusvanttinen7855]

This is so genuine. The king- Mr Frehley. The Best. Thanks for sharing this

[@nikoma_]

Have seen this countless times. They go over my fav KISS song - Deuce!

[@tito.tarantula]

So many famous guitarists admit to "winging it" and not really knowing what they are doing (in a music theory sense)... proof that being musical takes creativity and exploration. Book smarts are good, but playing what you feel is gooder.

[@morbidmanmusic]

Both approaches work, but the best is the merging of the two worlds. .. of which there is plenty of proof of thru time.

[@blastofo]

Theres something called the Berklee curse. If you study music theory for 4 years and get a music degree, you’re cursed to never make it in a band.

Ace is the greatest and gene and Paul can’t handle the truth

[@aidanrojas9650]

Nobody does interviews like Matt from Guitar Moves. I love these so much ,keep them coming!!

[@crispyrobot77]

Gotta love Ace. Still one of the HOTTEST guitar solos I've ever heard is Ace's solo from "Strange Ways" from "Hotter Than Hell" (1974). Ace's Guitar Solos are Timeless however our time on this Earth is limited. While many people attempt to create tutorials of Ace's guitar solos, very FEW get it right. Ace, if you are listening man, please create a KZbin Series of Tutorials for your Favorite Solos to share with the World. Especially for the Strange Ways solo that NONE of the tutorials I've seen are 100% faithful to your work (most of them lose it after the "dinosaur bend"). Although, KISS has "gone out" with a whimper, YOU can go out with a BANG. Ace, only YOU can prevent Guitar Fires.. and make great Guitar Tutorials. 🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@miced]

I’m not a guitar player but Ace is the one that got me into Kiss. His sound, swagger, moves and look sealed it. The climb at 3:26 is undeniably him🤘😉

[@spiralflash6169]

Wow - great interview! Private lesson with Ace Frehley - well done! "Singable solos" - great insight! And then it just keeps going! Oh yeah, great restraint when you were playing Shock Me and you didn't stop to ask how does the cool parts - it eventually breaks down but just really great job capturing some magic. So cool to see Ace in this role of teacher! Thank you so much.

I always loved Ace's reckless abandon when it comes to playing. He's not caught up in all of the perfection and just wails. That's why from the first time I heard Kiss Dressed to Kill on 8 track, I was a lifelong Kiss fan. I just wanted to rock and roll all nite and party every freaking day!

[@Modernaire]

10:21 beamed into Ace’s head. There’s an interview video of Eddie Van Halen also describing where he gets musical ideas that they seem to just come from… Above. Any looks up in points as if to suggest that it’s coming from a higher power. Other artists even Michael Jackson I know don’t throw any shoes at me. I’m just saying he also described Music like it coming from God and arriving to him. As a creative professional, I’ve experienced in my line of work, a sort of stream of creativity that it’s almost like I’ve reached a level where it flows and then continuously flows and it feels like it’s coming from the beyond. And I am the same way. It’s just a creative personality a certain type where when you work, you work hard and it just all comes to you and then the channels open up and then you may like not do anything for like three weeks to a month or two and then again and you give it your all. How cool is that that Ace is that way he’s just that way! This ace interview is fantastic thank you!🤩
