TAKE ME involves some good rhythm work by Paul Stanley and Ace Frehley. They
play similar sounding figures, but in reality one is shuffling while the
other is playing high string power chords that outline the shuffle. It gives
a good feeling of motion while keeping with the simplicity of KISS songs.
This type of rhythmic interplay recalls the Stones as well as other 60's
artists. Ace's Solo consists of some double guitar playing, but I have
transcribed it for one guitar. Enjoy!
