Notes
Live performance, 1975 (Kiss Alive! era). Ace Frehley is documented as using a Les Paul Deluxe into a cranked Marshall Super Lead with no pedals for the main riff/distorted rhythm sections. No evidence of effects pedals or amp-based effects used for the riff section.

Difficulty
The riff requires solid timing, fast chord changes, and tight palm muting, but does not involve advanced techniques or complex fingerings, making it accessible to intermediate players.
