A source mechanism for the generation of shear Alfvén waves in the low solar corona is suggested. It is attributed to newly created ions associated with the ionization of neutral atoms in the chromosphere - corona transition region. In the present discussion attention is mainly paid to the excitation of shear Alfvén waves rather than compressional Alfvén waves, i.e., fast and slow magnetosonic waves. A kinetic instability, which amplifies Alfvén waves propagating in an arbitrary direction, due to the newborn ions, is studied. In the present analysis heavy ion species are emphasized.
