Notes

Live performance, Kiss Alive! (1975), solo section. Ace Frehley is documented as using a Les Paul Deluxe with mini-humbuckers into a cranked Marshall 100-watt head, no effects loop, and minimal/no pedals. No evidence of additional effects or pedals used for the solo. All sources indicate a guitar-into-amp setup for this era and song.

Difficulty

The solo requires confident, energetic phrasing, fast pentatonic licks, and aggressive bends/vibrato, but does not involve advanced shred techniques or complex harmony.
