Strange Ways written by: Ace Frehley
Tuning: E flat
Strange Ways is one of the heavier sounding tracks from Hotter Than Hell. It features Peter Criss on vocals and an extended Ace Frehley guitar solo that is considered a fan favorite. The Strange Ways solo has a phaser or flanger effect, which sounds like a guitar from outer space. The rhythm guitar parts are power chords or 5 chords (G5, F5, A#5, C5, D#5, D5, F5). The guitar solo is based on the G minor pentatonic scale (blues scale).

Thank you, Chris.. this is a great lesson and gets me one step closer to learning all the songs on the first three studio albums. You broke down the solo into manageable pieces .. great ear!
Thank you Tom. I'm glad the video helped. Thanks for checking it out and commenting.
Chris, Ive been listening to this album since i was 14 . And actually saw them on the Hotter than Hell tour at Winterland SF. Thank u so much once, again . I subscribed to your channel . 🙏🤘👍
@@mochabun Wow, I can't imagine what it must have been like to see them back then. My favorite live video of KISS is the Winterland show. Thanks for subscribing Tom. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Chris Happy to sub . The winterland vid is my fav too . I think i saw them there the year before. My friend and i walked right up to the stage as Kiss was hungry and not famous yet. He yelled for them to play “ Strange Ways “ 😹 and of course they didnt.. Gene puked blood 🩸 on people in the front . ( not acceptable these days 😹) and looked me right in the eye .
@@mochabun I wish I could have seen them back in the early years. Did you get to meet them?
One of the all-time greatest solos in rock. Wild, seemingly chaotic, yet quite sophisticated. Ace comes blazing in, makes a mess of the place, then just stops. Genius. Strange.
I agree Patrick. It's kinda all over the place, but yet it all fits just perfectly.
This is my fav Ace solo of all time. You really do a great lesson on the piece. I appreciate you taking your time to make and post these videos.
Thank you Robert. It's my pleasure. Take care.
man you are a legend thx for doing this song
Thanks buddy. I hope you enjoy the lesson. More KISS lessons are coming soon.
Hi Chirstopher. I played it the way you explained and it sounds damn good. I changed fingering of the "hardest part" in that I play 14th on D, 12th on G, 14th on G bending it, pinky on the E 15th and 15th with bend on the B string and going into the descending part. I found this much easier, staying it the same position. I always wanted to play Strange Ways and only got into it based on your video. Amazing job, man, thank you.
Awesome Daniel! Glad the video helped. Thx for commenting.
Oh, yes. Thanks again, Chris.
It's my pleasure Chris. I hope you enjoy my friend.
Oh man thanks for this tutorial, Chris! It was very easy to understand what to do and I think I can finally play it! Thank you, man!
Thank you my friend for the support and commenting. I'm so glad the video helped. Thanks again.
Killer Job , and killer Tune , Thanx .
Thanks so much checking out my video and supporting my channel. I really do appreciate it.
@@ChristopherCox No , thank you for all the effort you put into the channel ( loving all the tunes with solo lessons ) Awesome
Great instruction! Love the green PRS! New subscriber.
Thanks so much Mike. I really appreciate it.
Nice work man! Maybe Ace's most bombastic solos. Thanks!
Thanks Steven. I agree. One of Ace's all-time best solos.
Great thanks for this awesome lesson!
Thank you Andy for checking it out and commenting. Take care my friend.
Very nice
Thank you my friend 🙂🤘.
Ace's best solo. I don't think they ever played this live. What a shame.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever known of Kiss to play this tune. I agree, one of Ace's best.
Hi, thanks for this tutorial, actually I believe in some points is slightly different than what you propose but it is a good point for study. I tried to make a cover of the song, including the solo but It goes tragically with lot of errors and out of tempo, I didn't cancelled the video from my channel, but I should have done it, :-) hahaha., cheers
Thanks for checking out my video and commenting.
GOOOD JOB !!!!
Thanks so much Alejandro. I appreciate you buddy.
@@ChristopherCox Regards from Argentina!!
@@65Taboo One of these days I hope to visit Argentina.
@@ChristopherCox "Patagonia" a word on your t shirt is at an Argentina Country! I will wait you! (sorry by my bad english)
@@65Taboo oh cool. I didn't realize Patagonia was in Argentina.
Great tutorial and one of my favorite and most underrated of Kiss songs. I'm curious, what effects are used on the lead guitar to get the signature sound?
Hey Chris. Thanks man. I'm not 100% sure what effect he used on the original. I used a electro-harmonix analog pedal on the video. It's one of Ace's all-time best solos for sure.
Thanks Christopher I'll be sure to give that a try with my modeling amp for starters.
I read somewhere Ace used an old fashioned phaser on this solo like a phase 90.
Love your job here, one of Ace's most legendary solos and very difficult to get right, what you did and shared. Greatly appreciated. Do you know which effects Ace used for the solo? Thanks.
David, thank you so much for your comment. I really do appreciate it. I'm hinking the guitar solo effect is some kind of studio effect (but I don't know this for sure). I'm not sure how many guitar pedals were around in 74', but I'm thinking very few. I used an Electro-Harmonix Electric Mistress flange pedal on the lesson, but I'm sure a phaser pedal would work well too.
@@ChristopherCox Thanks again. Very useful information. I really appreciate it.
You're welcome David.
Did Ace use his Famous drop tuning ?
@@johna8973 Ace plays all songs in E flat tuning.
My feedback. You need to get a clip on microphone or something, the audio is low and has a mumble quality to it, guessing it's webcam audio? Your subscription ratio would be higher [10K range] if you had better audio.
Hi. Thank you for your feedback. This is an older lesson and you're right the audio is not as good. I now use a lapel mic and a stronger pc mic.So that issue should be fixed with my newer lessons. Also, I would recommend using headphones on the older videos. Other viewers have said this helps. Thanks.
How about Rock Soldiers or 2000 Man?
I'll put those on the list Chris. Thanks for the request.
rock soldiers sucks and 2000 man ain't even kiss
Why is he playing it a half step sharper than the recording?
the tuning for song is E flat
@@ChristopherCox Ohh ok, I learned it in standard, that explains it.
@@Chaos46992 Jeff, I've done the exact thing myself 100 times. :)
Are you down a half step
Yes
i hated this song when I was young. Hate Hate HATED it. Really not sure why, its actually pretty decent 😆
I love Ace's solo on this tune. It's out there, but has a lot fire to it.
@@ChristopherCox it sure does and you nailed it on this lesson. I know my limitations and wouldn't even try to learn that solo. I just watched this to pick up the rythym and was blown away by your playing. You're a great guitar player mate. It's a shame were on different sides of the planet as I'd love to be be your rhythm wing-man and just let you shred for days! 😄🤘
@@Z_333_ thanks so much buddy. It is one of the more challenging Ace solos for sure. Yes, we would for sure. I would love to jam some guitar with you.
