BECOME A PATRON TO GET SONGS/TABS: www.patreon.com/coversolutions Played lightly over the neck pickup or in the middle part between pickups. Lowered action to get an agressive sound. I insist that this is played with light touch. Playing with harder touch or high action (as i do on most of my videos) will burn you out very fast and won't get the tone
mr. sir you’re a a great bass player and your tabs are the best, and thanks to you i’m now studying a music career as a bass player, and this wouldn’t be possible without the aid of your great tab sheets, so thank you so much.
Been working on this one myself recently. Having the hand speed for it is challenging enough but the stamina needed to get through the whole song separates the men from the boys. Harris doing this regularly for two hour shows is why he's elite.
The only way to play Steve Harris lines is as lightly as possible with the amp turned way up. We're going for economy of motion and as little effort as possible for those faster sections. Play too hard even slightly and you won't make it to the end of the song. Now repeat for the whole set. Genius player, and this is a genius version. Very impressive.
Amazing fretwork! My mission in life is to learn this bass! May take 10 years but at least I have found a new goal in life 😛 It’s like a classical piece on music 💙
I learned this by ear decades ago and have always played the E to G section with the G on the 5th D string. I also play the fast intro build up section starting on B of the E string, moving to C on the E string, and then moving to the D 5th fret A string etc.. Love how different players approach the same thing. P.S anyone learning bass now, you will never know the pain of learning a song from a cassette player with no rewind function - turning the tape over and fast forwarding over and over and over and over and over and over.......
Ugh!!!…Why on Earth did I agree to do this song on bass???..Looks like I’ll have to quit my job…lol Thank you for doing the heavy lifting for me though….I know some work went into it and I am grateful good sir!
I played in a Iron Maiden cover band way back and not to sound pretentious but I would say in general I have quiet a good grasp at about 90 percent of their catalogue. However for some reason I never managed to play the part between 3:38 and 3:53 and it bugs me immensely. Anyone have any tips on how to approach it? I simply can't get up to speed with the record, not to mention their live performances that are even faster.
