  • Looks like a beginner...

  • the lightnings bolts on hes neck are reminding me of angus young signature gibon sg }:D AC/DC rocks

  • Probably the only time nail polish has looked good on a guy

  • Ace Frehley can play guitar, but he aint no fucking Kerry King

  • Would never put Ace up there in terms of virtousity. Think his combination of style, ingenuity and attitude had such an influence on a generation he belongs on any list of great guitarists.

  • ugh that tone is ugly. good player though i guess.

  • My first guitar hero as a 12-15yo. Then I heard Hendrix. Ace's index vibrato is actually pretty weak but the first guitar I wanted was a Paul so props to Ace. He was an early influence.

  • I like KISS but never really saw the appeal of Ace Frehley's playing, to me it just sounds sloppy and I don't think his vibrato's particularly good at all

  • This guy sucks. Just saying.

  • @SixBadassStrings this guy sucks? He´s one of the best gutarists ever!

  • @sharinganchidori52 Then I guess you don't really understand guitarists and their music.

  • @SixBadassStrings Well.... he is not the best guitarist ever, but you have to admit that he is great! He is a true pioneer and inspired nations to start playing guitar. Great players like Van Halen where inspired by him... check out Ace´s solos, they are very cool and entertaning

  • @sharinganchidori52 He is not among the best ever, but great and selftaught. Cred as hell for that. A few legendary solos as well bring him to stardom in the fans eyes (I`m one of them). On the other hand: He does not suck.

    My best!!!

  • 0:47 epic voice crack

  • Whats the song at 3:41 i dont recognize that :S

  • @guitarguy1387 It's Juvenile Delinquent by Ace Frehley. Your Welcome.

  • @KISSKID987 Thanks 

  • I love kiss... But he plays like a freshman !?

  • @hilololomoa Oh look, another random Youtube retard! Nice to meet you, hilolomoa. You are an idiot.

  • Lots of negative comments. Great players who toured the World never likely put much thought into someday making an instructional video for our benefit. The lead guitar in KISS was fantastic. Big difference in a room with a small amp vs stacks of Marshalls and a great band like KISS backing you up. We automatically assume great players are instant qualified guitar instructors. They're not used to breaking it down in simple terms. It just comes naturally for them.

  • @edge9090 That doesn't qualify him to give out wrong information. Proper technique doesn't involve anything other than your wrist for vibrato. Take a lesson from a trained classical guitarist

  • This man is my idol but that was a shitty lesson.

  • is it just me, or is he goddamn terrible.

  • @Feverdream7777 it's not just you. it's brutal.

  • I can do it just about any speed...

    

  • @CaptainHobnob316

    Yaaaa...i can mash my fingers way up on the high strings and go

    meedleymeedleymeedleymeedleyme­edleymeedleymeedleymeeeeeeeee!­!!!!!!

  • To be honest i don't think this guy playing is good at all.. cmon guys, be real man

  • @25jonathan Check Shock Me 1977 ;D hes just demonstrating the vibrato in this video. He is an incredible guitarist.

  • shit sandwich

  • You definately tell how Dime uses Ace's techniques in his playing.

  • Biggest piece of crap in rock and roll....

  • "and I can do it just about any speed"

  • Ace fucking rules.

  • His tone is going through me.

  • His nail polish is soooo cute. I really want that! And I think I could literally sit and watch/listen to Ace play guitar all day long. Sit at his feet and just watch and learn. :)

  • what a guitar man.... wish i also have 1 like him

  • Comment removed

  • @guitarworld where is this on the behind the player dvd i didnt see it? Can u plz tell me anyone?

  • Love that his nail polish matches his signature guitar. Wonder if Gibson gave it to him with the guitar.

  • Thommy Thayer has 83 YouTube Acc's

  • Comment removed

  • @gungor1985 ???

  • Got that right, Ace. Been with you for years, buddy. 14 to 48, still rockin'.

  • I love this guy ;)

  • Wank bar?

  • Wang bar lol

  • I love "spaceman" but i dont love the actual ace :(

  • It's hard to believe when I was a teenager I idolized this guy.

    He's been at it for decades, and he is still well below average...

  • @wordprophet true, but he is still unique in his own way

  • "if you dont practice guys. It ain't gonna cut it" Yea right! Says the guy who hasn't nailed a solo in 35 years. Don't get me wrong, i like Ace for the attitude in his playing but cmon seriously, ive never seen him pull off a solo without messing it up one way or another.

  • @hellsSG yeah ok thats why your a still working fool and you don;t know shit about playing guitar! stick with what you whitch is probably nothing! get a job fool! oh and yeah your probably a beatles fan too! you an asshole!

  • @MrTommy728 get serious kid! i just said i like ace, however its really comical that he talks about practicing when he never nails a solo completely. if you can't understand that then you dont actually listen to what he plays.

  • @hellsSG Neither do you apparently... Ace rules!! True legend

  • @666PLAGUEWIELDER maybe...BUT he isnt giving lessons and advice!!!

  • @hellsSG yeah seriously... hes more attitude than anything else

  • hahaha why is this a lesson? i love ace but i mean this is retarded.. i mean i kinda sometimes like to play in tune too lol

    

  • @themaskofzomer Ace never plays in tune, i dont know why. He always tunes down 1/2 step

  • @beatlesbiggestfan100- Some bands tune a half step down so that the people singing have an easier time staying in tune. U2 also tunes their instruments this way, for the same reason.

  • @DavidL3998 I know that now. in fact, now i tune down whenever i sing, because im not that great of a singer, im more of a guitarist.

  • GREAT LESSON!!! by the way... who is Joe Satriani???

  • Shit vibrato is shit. It's sloppy as hell with no clarity.

  • oke.....i'm throwing away my whammy

  • Great tips here! Funny thing tho, how pro guitar players think. I mean, Eddy Van Halen has got some wicked vibrato, and his whammy bar technique is now legendary.

  • tommy thayer: God sent me to rock the world!

    Ace: I didnt send you.

  • @DistortionCrazy so true

  • LMAO, Ya gotta Love Ace! He is a NOO Yorka true and true! My absolute insperation for picking up a guitar in the first place. Long may you play Ace!!

  • LOOL WANG BARR!!!! xD

  • i am the only one who think vibrato down is easier?

  • @LosLurvos no ita much easyer

  • Sad *sigh* There is no crap guitar vst with vibrato

  • Ace is radical...

    MR.BILL

  • Best guitar player in the world.

  • I love his tone! 

  • What type of marshall is that?????!!

  • I own this DVD

  • Comment removed

  • "I just kinda like... do it."

    Fucking great lesson there.

  • @Visualundeath uh wat u expect ask for a vibrato lesson is like asking how do i hold down a guitar string with the finger. how do you get speed in you vibrato do it more duh ace doesnt need to explain.

    people like u r dah ones that ask for tabs all da time.

    GROW SOME BALLS

  • @JIRIC8581 "Ace doesn't need to explain" Actually, I think that's the entire purpose of the video, but okay.

  • @Visualundeath thank you for being polite but i dont understand what he can say you know like idk

  • @JIRIC8581 He should actually show how to vibrato a note. I know... That sounds silly, but that IS what the lesson is, right? Teaching by example is one thing, but he just kind of plays stuff instead of actually conducting a lesson and talking about the technique in enough depth that people (complete beginners, for instance) can learn from it.

    Just my 2 cents.

  • @Visualundeath You mean like explain the three finger vibrato technique n the two finger and explain the finger movement n junk. cause when i was starting out i never knew you put ur first finger above the strings u we bending to keep them quiet

  • @JIRIC8581 Yeah, mainly! Also, vibrato when bending a note and the correct wrist/finger movements etc, etc.

    Surely explaining those things is better than just playing them and hoping your audience can just work it out on their own.

  • @Visualundeath OK YEA now we are on the same terms i understand what you mean

  • All these haters can screw themselves over a thousand times, Ace is one of the best guitarists of all times and Kiss was one of the best rock bands of all times. Ace, you're my hero.

  • @zeppelin25101980 He writes very much music on his own!!!!!!!!!!

  • ace is great i play so i know bitches go fu]ck u]rselves

  • mad haters in this bitch!! the mans a legend pay homage, yu comin up in here makin fun of this man on his own video makes yu look like a jackass

    and who cares about the fucking nail polish ....ITS ACE FUCKING FREHLEY

  • I respect any and all players, but this was just tough to watch.. As a very average guitar player myself, there is absolutely nothing I could do with that tone to make it sound good. Ace still rocks though.

  • what a shity tone

  • @25jonathan Dont hate cause you can be him

  • @Atreyufolife can*

  • Wang bar..lol.. Ace you are the best!!!

  • Ace can wear any type of polish he wants. He is ACE FREHLEY

  • gay

  • the whole point of music is to express yourself and you cant do that when someone else writes your music

  • @blacklackbeast09 hey im 13 dont insult my playing by comparing me to this wana-be rocker theat cant write his own music.

  • @zeppelin25101980 And you insult your own intelligence by saying he can't write write his own music. He recorded some covers for the same reason anyone else would, you enjoy playing the songs that made you want to play guitar in the first place. He wrote a solid amount of Kiss's original material and inspired loads of guitarists. This "wana-be rocker" inspired plenty of people who rock today. Get the facts right next time buddy.

  • @zeppelin25101980 wanna be rockstar? dude, he was rich and getting more pussy than youll ever get before your parents even thought about having you

  • you dont like Ace Frehley? FUCK YOU!

  • Seriously, people complaining about ACE FREHLEY!! Lame...

  • I love the way Ace Frehley plays. "I just, like, DO IT." (1 min 11 sec) Sounds like a true New Yorker.

  • Does anybody ever have anything positive to say? For every negative remark you make three negative things will happen to you. For everything positive you say three positive things will happen to you. Now....go ahead and be an asshole...or, be fucking nice for once in your bitchy little life.

  • @ragsjames Dude I know what you mean! People are just pathetic nowadays. Thats why in instantly assume 99% of Youtube comments are just moronic, illogical, bullshit said by bitter fucks who graduated from the technical school of wikipedia, and complain about everything. These people rarely have any talent, so they decide making a "cute" "little" mean comment on the Internet will help their all time plummeting self esteem. Sad world we live in.

  • @MKV1193

    I know, i want to engage in some sort of intelligent conversation about the artist and his music, I am a musician myself, so..... They should rename themselves generetion blech.

  • shit vibrato

  • I hate the tone

  • @blackjackbeast09 he is a great guitarist, homosexual cat who likes licking dog asses

  • @felporocker i'm sure he's a fantastic dog ass licker and all, but he's a mediocre homo-cat guitarist at best

  • @blackjackbeast09 dont hatwe cause u cant play guitar like him fail troll :D

  • @Atreyufolife Ace is one of the most over-rated guitarists there is. i guarantee if he wasn't in kiss, which is a joke to begin with, he'd be living in a box on the street. this is like a 13 year old playing guitar. i teach kids who are better than him

  • @blackjackbeast09 EAT SHIT, YOU FUCKIN CUNT..

  • @blackjackbeast09

    Well, some of your pupils created a song like "Shock Me" or some other hit made by Ace? His creativity is his great artistic skill.

  • Don't you hate it when shitty musicians become famous?

  • who the fuck needs to have a lesson in vibrato?

  • Who the fuck cares about his nail polish?

    The guy rocks

  • wang bar  lol....

  • his nails are awesome

  • of course his nails are painted!

  • Whoa what is with the nails.

  • Kiss LOL - it's difficult now to convey just how laughably bad they were.

  • when i listen that vibrato remember me the first par tof "king of the night time world"

    nice !!!! kiss rules !

  • 666 videos...pretty awesome

  • Yngwie Malmsteen have the craziest vibratos in hte world

  • Fucking hell someone hasnt been practicing.

  • " you are probably familiar with some of the work i v done with kiss"..hell fucking yeah ace.who the fuck doesnt know kiss???,..u are a legend

  • ace your bends are out of tune, your guitar sound is horrid, every peice of advise you just gave was wrong, your playing is sloppy and laughable. i think you need more lessons from tommy thayer LMFAO !!!!!

  • nothin tops tony iommis vibrato.......just saying.

  • That cat's biting tone, licks and vibrato...HELL YEAH.....inspired me to play...!! Funny tho...Ace is no longer in KISS but Tommy Thayer plays Ace's licks/solos live. Now THAT is the definition of LEGENDARY.....!

  • terrible tone.

  • "If you don't practice guys, it ain't gonna cut it." No truer words were ever spoken!

  • No one can play ace style as no one can play my style or anyone elses style in the end... But ace learned him self... If i remember he got his first guitar when he was 13 (just as me btw) ... He describes the feelin amazing as: Pluggin' in a gibson les paul guitar in a marshal amp... Clearly a god! And i learned my self playing as well... No teacher nothin' thats what develops your own style wich can make you something big (Just like cheesburgers)! :)

  • The reason why i kept playing the guitar after 6 weeks of failure: Ace frehley... And now... Well i can say im climbin it fast.

  • You gotta love KISS man, i'm a Black Metaller and i love KISS! Fuck Yeah!!

  • Comment removed

  • Ace is Back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It's kind of like saying "Chuck Berry couldn't do sweep picking or tap so he wasn't as good". Isn't that rediculous? He laid the groundwork to which gave us an advantage to progress and take it to the next step. He didn't have that advantage. He made the mold. So that's how I see Ace in a way.

  • True is doesn't sound very good and he doesn't communicate well. So what. Thats not why people love(d) Ace. I'm 42. Kids now are used to instruction from trained players. It's normal to be like wtf when viewing this.so just a matter of perspective.

    Its ok to be blunt and say the tone is not good or whatever. But dang b accountable for your words. I grew up listening to this man and play guitar for 30 years.I know it's not a very good vid. But hey he laid the groundwork! so a little respect

  • I grew up listening to Kiss. I've been playing guitar for 30 years. Just a comment in response to all unbelievable words and venom;

    Why does every guitar vid. end up with who is "better"? It's art, not an athletic event.

    I love Ace but it's true he is not the player he once was. So what. Neither is B.B. or Keith R. It's ok. I once heard Paul Stanley say Ace never progressed as a player and I never forgot it. In his prime he wrote some GREAT licks and was so cool. I play because of him.

  • WTFFFFFFFFFFFF is that?!?

    With all the respect..........Sounds horrible.....sorry

  • Where can i buy this dvd :) ? 

  • 1:13 " I JUST KINDA LIKE DO IT" LOL

  • the fuck does matt sorum say?

  • Those inlays are sick!

  • I love the Signature vibrato's of The Spaceman.

  • wtf is wrong with you people? he sounds like crap???? HE ISN'T EVEN DOING ANYTHING! he is explaining his use of vibrato. i don't think he's trying to impress your sorry asses.

  • Ace, i dont meen to be a bitch, but there arnt any muslces in your fingers xD

  • @adomezz123 ........right.

  • @adomezz123 there are tendons connected to muscles - and the tendons have proprioceptors that feel - so that what he really meant - hes a guitarist not a biology teacher!

  • @adomezz123 there are tendons...and tendons are muscles -.-

  • i love his tone. does he use seymour duncans?

  • @jclar146 Dimarzio Super Distortions

  • @fox8950 You don't question Ace. He's Ace.

  • @fox8950 WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THAT? SHUT UP

  • @fox8950 Guess he waned it to match his guitar....ended up lookin like a faag HAHA!

  • @Farhanbangladesh You are a fag, and Ace is not.

  • @fox8950 his ace frehley you dumb shit. YOU ARE BLUE NAIL POLISH.

  • @fox8950

  • @fox8950 Dont disrespect ace... Hes a god. The blue nail polish ofc is a cool thing...!! so show the god some respect!

  • Gotta love this shit!

  • @fox8950 it hardens your nails so your tips can fret more firmly
