#MAKIN LOVE (from the KISS CD "ROCK AND ROLL OVER")

Transcribed by Emil Ortenmark, emil@kissasylum.com
Standard tuning
Comments: This is as close to heavy metal as KISS got in the 70s. Its
fast, its a simple pentatonic riff and it kicks ass. But, the main
ass-kicker here is Ace. The solo is as quick as lightning and has more
energy than a nuclear power plant. This album is probably Aces high
point when it comes to technique and just playing. Most of the solos,
that are actual solos that is, have a certain spontaneous feel to them
and I believe he just winged these. If you can play this cleanly and in
tempo, youre the man.
