    The first Kiss album I ever heard was Kiss Alive. It's still one of my favorites from Kiss! What was the first Kiss album you heard?

      Once I heard this album, and in particular the opener with "Deuce", that was it for me. I now knew what hard rock was and how it should sound. But Cold Gin remains my favorite from that record. Love the bridge part too.

      Not technically a "Kiss" album but a great album with a perfect production. I can put that album on and listen to it from start to finish. I have a hard time doing that on other Kiss albums. However, Kiss "Alive" from 1975 was a masterpiece recording. All Killer and no filler.

    About a week ago I found "Cold Gin live Ace Sings Verse" on TH-cam, and its easily one of the best live versions of any song I've ever heard. (Paul gives an awesome intro and PSA, lol.) ;}

    I'd add Dodger Stadium since I was there and much of it is on youtube:) I think most of us kids from the 70's that picked up a guitar owe Ace a thanks. The show drew us in, but the music was solid.

    What guitar and pickups are they there killer

    • @RickStack
      @RickStack  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks! 😊 Lollar High Wind Imperial pickups, and the guitar is a Campbell American- Fuzix model. I’ve had four guitars built by the same builder out in New England. He stopped making guitars now though. I found them from somebody that I’ve studied with who is a professor at Berklee College of music in Boston. David Fiuczynski. Not to get too far off topic, lol, but check him out. He plays a double neck guitar often and the tap neck is fretless. Amazing player!!

    How did you tune the guitar

    • @RickStack
      @RickStack  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Just standard tuning for all my videos. I realize many groups tune down 1/2 step on the original recording.

    • @RickStack
      @RickStack  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, I’m in standard tuning. All my videos are in standard tuning mainly because that’s what I prefer, but also because I teach private guitar lessons multiple days a week and that’s what I’m tune to. I realize that there are a lot of songs that are tuned down 1/2 a step, etc.

    • @RickStack
      @RickStack  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks. I can understand that request. I teach many days a week, doing private one on one lessons and I am always in standard tuning (unless demonstrating half step down tuning), so it just works for me to keep as standard thing in all my teaching. Hope it wasn't too much of a bother.

      that guitar is mahogany with humbuckers, a LP won't sound much different at all.... I have 4 Les Pauls and have owned a bunch of super strats, been playing since the 70's
