For years,musicians have ignored the truth.Case in point,Kiss live on VHS at the Winterland Ballroom 1974,Ace Frehley clearly begins doing a descending pulloff to the open G string while tapping on Frets 5 and 7,while his left hand executes pulloffs on the 4th and 2nd fret.Basically,5-4-2-0,, 7-4-2-0,,5-4-2-0 and so on.Also in Budokon '76 VHS video,clearly Frehley demonstrates the technique is advancing,as he does pull offs on the 1st string,8-5-0,while tappng other notes corresponding to the A minor scale up the neck to the 22nd Fret.Again,in 1977 Live in Houstan VHS,Frehley taps clear up and down the high E during his "solo" piece.Need Audio proof,pop in KISS ALIVE 2,and listen to Frehlehy's unaccompanied Guitar solo following "Shock Me" .There is a score of Tapping runs he is using.

What's the Big deal??? well nothing but most music historians pretend this never happened,when there is abundance evidence to prove it so.
Maybe these videos aren't in as much circulation as I think,or maybe just KISS fans watch these concerts,but from a fan of guitar pyrotechnics and it's history,why has this fact been ignored for 28 years??Frehley should have been front cover of every guitar rag in the Mid-70's,instead Van Halen walks away with the trophy.If no one believes it I'll send you a free copy of these clips,judge for yourself.Persoally,I'd like to see Frehley get a few more accolades then he has.This is Like Thomas Edison Vs. Tesla.Like I said ,no biggy,but I've never seen anyone ANYWHERE ever talk about this.Lets have some opinions,or correlations on this matter.Thanks for allowing me to Rant.
CAKE or DEATH????

Ummmmmmm,Cake Please,,Oh,It's Very Nice.
