Lesson Performance Notes

Love Gun

Known for its infectious rhythm and memorable chorus, "Love Gun" boasts a great mix of power chords and intricate lead guitar work. The song utilizes the Mixolydian scale, giving it that characteristic rock sound. During the solo, you'll notice a combination of string-bending and rapid alternate picking that enhances the track's intensity.

Detroit Rock City

A true rock anthem, "Detroit Rock City" features a distinctive, memorable lead intro. The main riff is based on the Minor Pentatonic scale, contributing to its edgy sound. As you delve into the solo, you'll dissect the nuances of unison bends and the sheer power of vibrato.

Deuce

A bluesy undertone defines "Deuce." With its foundational use of the Blues scale, the song is a treasure trove for guitarists looking to incorporate bluesy bends and slides. The guitar solo in "Deuce" is a masterclass in legato playing, combined with aggressive picking.

I Was Made For Lovin You

Distinctly different from many other Kiss tracks, this song offers a fusion of rock and disco vibes. The guitar lines are largely influenced by the Aeolian mode or natural minor scale. Mastering the arpeggiated chord progressions will be vital for reproducing the song’s unique sound.

Rock And Roll All Night

Possibly Kiss’s most iconic track, "Rock And Roll All Night" is an anthem for all ages. With a focus on open chords and chord progressions, this song is as catchy as it is fun to play. During the bridge, watch out for the effective use of double stops to enhance the rhythmic groove.

The Lead Guitarist - Ace Frehley

No analysis of Kiss would be complete without a nod to the mastermind behind many of these tracks, Ace Frehley. His raw, unfiltered style defined an era of rock guitar. Ace was never just about playing the notes; it was how he played them. His vibrato, tone, and choice of notes created the signature Kiss sound. Through these lessons, you'll gain a deeper understanding of Ace's unique contributions to the world of rock guitar.
