  • You know what a dinosaur bend is? The God Ace Frehley of KISS gave it up for Sweeney at Electric Lady Studios. In a few short minutes, we began to learn how the guitarist helped establish KISS as one of the most recognizable rock bands of the last 50 years. The best part might be how giddy Matt Sweeney gets to play guitar with one of his childhood idols. He’s freaking.
    Original air date: September 22, 2016
    Matt Sweeney, host of Guitar Moves, is an NYC based producer (Joanna Sternberg “I’ve Got Me”) and composer (Superwolves, Chavez, Red Dead Redemption 2). His guitar playing can be heard on records by Adele, Johnny Cash, Endless Boogie, Neil Diamond, Cat Stevens, The Desert Sessions, Iggy Pop, Tinariwen.

      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.

      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

  • @gamby16a
    @gamby16a 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +59

    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
      @RememberTheRegs 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      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
      @daeds.paints 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

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

    • @keenanwhitham4920
      @keenanwhitham4920 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      So true!
      Honestly, though I find sloppy/sleazy playing paired with great riffs and solos has this humanistic vibe to it no-one can replicate, every little noise and imperfection gives rock it's soul and character. Everyone seems to be fascinated with trying to be this technical guitar wizard with inhuman accuracy nowadays. I mean it's Rock N' Roll for fuck sake, not a modern bubblegum pop concert.

    • @RememberTheRegs
      @RememberTheRegs 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@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?

    @tito.tarantula 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

    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.

    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.

    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 TH-cam 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. 🎸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
