NEWDetroit Rock City Chris Kitts would like your comments on his "Rock Bottom" drum tab. Would you like him to do more? E-mail Chris
"Star Spangled Banner" Once in a blue moon there are quite a few requests for one particular song. That has been the case lately and I think we all realize why. So, here's a tab with which the KISS army can show their colors. [Download the "Star Spangled Banner"]
"Ace Frehley - Five Card Stud" After having transcribed all of the KISS albums on which Ace played I've started to notice certain signature moves of his regarding his lead work. This small article is a try at presenting 5 of these little "tricks" so that you can gain a better understanding of the bluesbased style of the Aceman and, hopefully, learn a little something in the process. As usual, any comments are welcome to my regular email-address. Now get out your guitar and get ready to "play those licks all night and solo every day". [Download "Five Card Stud"]
Attention All Drummers!
KISS ASYLUM Guitar Tabs guru Emil Ortenmark is trying to create a satisfactory tab system for drums, e.g. not too cluttered and with the power to show complex parts. The debut drum tab is for the song "Love Her All I Can" from Dressed To Kill. Since it uses a variety of different parts of the kit, as well as a drum solo, it should prove a good testing ground. Emil is looking for input into the workings of the tab from all you drummers: Does it work at all? What can be done better? Is this of interest to the drummers of the KISS community? All comments can be sent to emil@kissasylum.com
