"Ace of Spades" is a song by English heavy metal band Motörhead. Considered a standard of speed metal, it is Motörhead's most well-known song, becoming a permanent live concert staple of the band since its release in 1980.

It is also, along with Metallica's "One", Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher" and "You Really Got Me", and Billy Squier's "Lonely is the Night", one of the only five songs to ever appear in more than one Guitar Hero title, not counting the Nintendo DS installments and Guitar Hero: Smash Hits.

Walkthrough

The chorus riff is relatively easy, with somewhat fast green notes followed by an orange, then red to blue, then red to yellow, then repeat. Simply strum the greens and orange, then hammer-on the blue and yellows, strumming on the reds. The verses consist primarily of very easy chords.

Trivia

• Like "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Paranoid", "Ace of Spades" is one of the few songs to appear in more than one game but never use the original version. Guitar Hero and Guitar Hero II had a cover while Guitar Hero: Metallica had a 2008 re-recorded version made for it and Rock Band.
