How to play Adrian Smith's solos #6 Wasted Years (with tablatures and backing tracks) 

How can 22 people give this thumbs down? The effort that goes into producing this type of video, the guy tabs it out so accurately, slows it down with a tab running, provides backing tracks and the tabs themselves to down load wtf is wrong with you people? Thanks again Steph for your great work and providing these great vids 👊 stay well bro.

Adrian Smith's soloing is so tasteful, he just plays the right notes! Love those pedal point licks. Thanks for breaking it down.

Wow. First person I've seen play it correct. Thank you.

Dude I almost cried with joy when I heard this, so many tried and failed but you nailed it. Thanks for posting

My fav Adrian solo.

Oooh, very nice! I especially love how you've slowed it down to half speed so amateurs like me can see and hear better which notes are being played on the fretboard. And if I manage to get it right at a slower speed, it's just a matter of practising it until I feel comfortable and confident enough to speed it up. Great idea! I'd be very tempted to try and learn this after years of just listening to it.

So many of my favorite tunes and players! Continued success.

Can't stress enough how good your video and playing are. Just keep rocking bro

Adrian's style is very hard to get down. You did it perfectly !

Wow ! My favorite solo executed perfectly. Respect!

Man, you help us a lot!!! It is a exactly what we need to progress and try to nail this solo!

All thanks for the accurate breakdown of this masterpiece. I was intimidated at first to try it but worked it out over these last 2 days. Adrian has always been my influence and this just sums it up as to why...

Man, i've been always thinking "god, this solo must be so hard to play", but now that i watch how to play it, looks so much more easier than it sounds

Best cover I saw of this solo I saw here, I and saw a lot. Congrats!

thanks man! great job, I love your videos. I wish I had this opportunity when I was 16. But...better late than never. Keep on.

someone nailed the tricky son of a lick! Great man, thanks!

Flawless. Thank you for the effort to reproduce this song

Very well done. One of the few version on youtube that is actually correct performed.

Absolutely perfect! Well done

22 buffoons . thank you for your efforts and epic playing

Who would dislike this?????????

Thanks for helping me learn this!

I was sure there was tapping in this! All those years, I was wrong! Thanks for the share buddy!

Thanks mate, been waiting for this some 30 years or more!

I just became across this. Nice work! Sounded perfect to me! Thanks, now I can finally work on playing this solo correctly. 😎😃

Eddie is proud of you bro.

Thanks for this eccellent job! Your playing is absolutely exquisite. I love Adrian's style more than any other. Just great.

I already liked the video (long ago when I first watched it .. at least I think...) but I don't think I commented on it. So thank you so much for this video, man!! It is so didactic!! Thank you to making it and putting all the effort to put the tabs along with it and playing half the speed for us!! And making it available for download for us!! Thank you so much!! This is one of my favorite guitar solos of all times from one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands!!! 😂 Wish you the best! Be safe and well! Cheers from Brazil!!

awesome thank you

Thank you !! That was perfect !!!

Great video cheers 👍

Thanks bro! It was very useful!🤟🤟

Excellent cover and thanks for the tab! I think you could work on making your finger vibrato stronger here. But hey, it's 7 years ago, you may well have improved since then. Rock on!

pretty much got this solo (thanks to you and my guitar teacher) Quick question, how hard is Adrian's solo in dance of death?

That's perfect but speed it up so I can challenge myself 😂 awesome playing brother! Maybe one day for me. Until then I just a Maiden rhythm guitarist I my basement. Since '87 🤘

Fantastic you are talented

Complimenti! Sei bravissimo, ottimo sound, ottima esecuzione ...

Wow! Congratulations..Bravo

Thank you!

Many Thanks!!!

It's amazing man! Thank you so much!

That’s my favorite Adrian solo. Could never figure it out from the record.

Awesome man!

Thank you for this tab...you saved me lol

Top!!!

what did you use to get the guitar sound ? you nailed that spacey-reverb of Somewhere In Time.. also are you playing a PRS ?

THANKS MAN

Congratulations, mutch better than Official Songbook's Tab

awesome. Thanks for the video

I just have trouble figuring in that that 1st string 7th fret on that fast opening lick. Are you using it? It doesn't look or sound it?

just one word: amazing!!!

ty very much!

Great work

I don't know how the hell you do to play the solo exactly note by note, that's impossible to do for me

excellent video :) short but very useful

how can play 16th note before the phares? cant get it

Thank you for all the info (Y), keep up the good work.

Hi. What cable you are using

Everything is right except at 0:26. I've been learning that part of that solo for a long time now, and I haven't seen anybody play it right. If anybody wants it tabbed out, let me know and I'll show you how it goes.

Always good!

Thanks my friend! Awesome

It does sound just as good at 50% speed

22 people couldn't learn the solo

franchement bien fait tes tutos solos ... ca demande du travail ca ... dommage qu'il n'y est pas une partie avec un tempo à 75%. ca aiderait vachement en étape intermédiaire entre le 50 et le 100% pour pouvoir le travailler ... mais dans tous les cas, chapeau pour tes tutos, continue STEPH

Actually this is great, but i just have a question for this part of the solo... 15 19 0 17 0 17 Do you do a double upstroke? or just hit the 15 fret note i relly dont know hope that you can help me :c

Great

bravo !! j'aime beaucoup tes vidéos !!

Your video shines the most on my RU-vid window right now. Your video is the best video. Please upload your wonderful videos often in the future. Before I opened the RU-vid channel, I had a good feeling of excitement in front of the door. Just as the clear moon appears through the stars in the night sky with the clouds removed, your video appeared brightly through the darkness on my RU-vid window. How did you have such a wonderful talent that is full of the mysterious charm of your video? After watching your video, I start the day with my positive emotions. Your video I am currently watching is the most wonderful and wonderful. I feel really happy that your video, which I feel was made with unsparing sincerity, has a feeling that positive energy will come to you in the future and will soon receive a lot of love. .Whether it's a coincidence or a relationship based on an unknown mysterious algorithm, I opened my RU-vid window, and your thumbnail caught my eye, so I unexpectedly saw your video. You have the ability to create. Even if the seasons pass and the years pass and the mountains and streams change, I think the RU-vid world will never change and will last forever. I'm sitting by the window, reminiscing about the memories I've never been to, and watching your videos. I am also lucky to have such an algorithm like this in space. Even if it is just a passing relationship that I have never seen offline and do not know the name of, I am so happy to meet you through your video in the RU-vid world. .I feel like I have finally found what I have been looking for, so thank you. When I watch your video, I feel an ecstatic and pleasant wind brushing my cheeks as the sun goes down in the field and evening. Even if the RU-vid road is rough and windswept, and everything in this world moves away from me, I will always keep your video in my memory. Thank you for giving me a positive feeling of happiness through your video.
