Ace Frehley (1951-2025)
News of the Spaceman’s passing wasn’t just a shock to the Kiss Army but to the rock and guitar communities. Hey, this guy had survived car crashes, police chases, addiction, relapse and two tumultuous stints in Kiss. In addition to a look at his life, tunes and Kiss-era guitars, we bring you an early-2025 Ace interview that hasn’t appeared in print (or anywhere else) until now.

HOW TO PLAY THIS MONTH'S SONGS

RELEASED AS A single, ahead of Shinedown's upcoming eighth studio album, this simple, well-crafted song, which was no doubt at least partially inspired by Def Leppard's “Hysteria” and U2's “With or Without You,” has guitarist Zach Myers flatpicking eighth notes with a clean bridge-pickup tone, laying down a repeating eight-bar pattern of ringing chordal arpeggios that share three common tones, with only the bass note changing every two bars.
