Ace Frehley – Cherry Medicine - (Official Music Video).

Ace Frehley – Cherry Medicine - (Official Music Video).

Ace previously released the title track, "10,000 Volts" and single "Walkin' on the Moon." Rock ‘n’ roll and heavy metal simply wouldn’t sound, look, or feel the same without Ace Frehley. Among hundreds of accolades, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® inducted him in 2014 as a Co-founder and the original lead guitarist of Kiss. Guitar World named him in the Top 15 of its “100 Greatest Heavy Metal Guitarists of All Time” and plugged the lead from “Shock Me” on the “50 Greatest Guitar Solos of All Time.” Magnifying the imprint of his catalog as a solo artist, Foo Fighters cut a fan-favorite cover of “Ozone,” and he even jammed out “New York Groove” alongside The Roots on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The late Dimebag Darrell of Pantera proudly sported a tattoo of Frehley on his chest, while Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine celebrated him on X/Twitter as “My first guitar hero.” 10,000 Volts upholds an incredible legacy for Frehley, spanning 50-plus years in the limelight. Back in 1978, he delivered his solo debut, Ace Frehley. It reached platinum status and exploded as “the highest-selling of the four Kiss solo albums in the Soundscan era.” Pitchfork even retrospectively rated it a rare “8.5” score. In 1987, he dropped Frehley’s Comet. Following Anomaly in 2009, he went on to make history once again. His 2014 Space Invader LP captured #9 on the Billboard 200 and emerged as “The only solo album by a past or current Kiss member to reach the Top 10 on the chart.” 2016’s Origins Vol. 1, bowed at #1 on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums Chart and in the Top 5 of the Billboard Top Rock Albums Chart. He notably maintained his momentum with Spaceman [2018]. "'10,000 Volts,' in its own time, in its own way, is similarly staggering – quite simply, OVERWHELMING. 10,000/10 -- Ghost Cult Magazine (February 22, 2024) RRHOF-inductee and guitar legend Ace Frehley releases a new video for "Cherry Medicine," featured on his new album, "10,000 Volts." His highly-anticipated album will be released tomorrow. Produced and co-written by Ace and Steve Brown, the uncontainable energy on the 11-tracks showcases some of Ace's best works since his '78 solo album. On "Cherry Medicine," a mean palm-muted chug underlines his pensive vocals where he confesses, “I knew I had to change my ways for sure to keep you by my side.” The track showcases another side of Frehley with its saccharine and sweet, soaring hook as he promises, “I love you, cherry medicine. You heal my every need and some.” He seals the sentiment with another powerhouse solo.

Blues-Metal master, Eric Steckel

Eric Steckel's career spans over 20 of his 29 years. Discovered by British Blues legend John Mayall as a kid, Eric spent much of his younger days touring Europe and the USA and has literally grown up on the road with a guitar in his hands.. Eric calls his style of playing BLUES METAL and that's a great description.....a blend of heavy, intense speed, original, soulful lines and bends all served up with a feel and groove second to none. Eric plays his own signature model Knaggs guitar through a Mezza Barba and the whole package just rocks beyond belief.

An Interview with Matt Lucas from Matt's Guitar Shop in Paris

I recorded this interview with Matt Lucas from Matt's Guitar Shop in Paris a while ago when he was here in Los Angeles on a buying trip. Since then, Matt has opened the store and sold many amazing vintage guitars, some owned and played by some of the most iconic guitar players of all time. We discuss one amazing piece of history he acquired recently, Django Reinhart's first guitar. This guitar pre-dates and survived the caravan fire that caused the injuries to Django's left hand and is believed to be the guitar on which he wrote 'Nuages'. Check out Matt's Guitar Shop website and Instagram, it's a very unique store.

Griff Hamlin | Using The "Blues Half Step" In Your Soloing - The Altered Dominant Scale (Modern Blues Soloing)

Griff Hamlin | Using The "Blues Half Step" In Your Soloing - The Altered Dominant Scale (Modern Blues Soloing)

In talking about more Modern Blues Soloing, and getting away from the standard Pentatonic and Blues scales for a bit, one of the things we have to discuss is the way chords influence the sound we play...And notice that I say "sound" and not "scale..." because, to me, scale implies a single correct choice, whereas saying that we are playing a certain "sound" implies that it's a choice we are making. Which is, of course, what Modern Blues Soloing is all about - having the know-how and the freedom to make a variety of sound choices in a variety of settings. Well, in a slow blues (or any blues, really) there's a tendency to use the "blues half step" going into the IV chord (or the V, or the IV) and if you use that "half step away" chord as part of your soloing, you get a pretty cool sound.

Tim Pierce: My #1 Favorite Guitar Delay Trick: What I DO and NEVER DO with this AMAZING effect

What I DO and NEVER DO with this AMAZING effect........... "More than any other effect on my guitar, I am addicted to delays! I darken them and modulate them so that they get hidden behind the original signal. I also hide the delay trails.. This way you may not know I’m using them, but they are still making the guitar sound very wide and spacious." Click the link to check out Tim's Masterclass.
