Right? I watch Maiden covers all the time on here, and his channel didn’t come up as recommended until today. I’m making sure to like every video so that he gets more exposure! 🤘
Been playing guitar for about a year. Your videos have inspired me to practice every day. My music teacher even helped me learn some theory with one of your videos. Keep it up!
Best cover on RU-vid, I had to replay this 5 times before commenting. Your improvisations are amazing and i didn't think this solo could be made better until you proved me wrong.
Back in 1984 when I first saw Maiden playing this track live (Sept 22nd) and had been playing for a couple of years (a little younger than you Shawn) I would have killed to be this good on guitar, especially playing this. You are exceptionally talented. I like that you've dug into the roots of metal and have become a fan too! But...where are all the subs for this channel? I don't get it :/
to me this solo cover stands out. Not one-to-one but in my opinion enhanced with some homemade special sauce that you wont find anywhere else. You can really taste that finess on that flaming solo! great video man
I've commented on your vids before and I just got notified on this post. Shawn you are one of, if not my favorite guitarist on RU-vid. The solo work here is truly great stuff! And I loved those blues based riffs in the middle section. Friggin' beautiful harmonies as well. Keep up the great work man, you have a very bright future as an artist! Ready to hear more originals too.
Thank you so much! By the way I am just seeing that you commented before, sorry I didn't see that until now. This is one of my older videos so I don't always get notifications for it. To answer your question (albeit a little late haha) I had some great teachers that helped me learn the theory side of music, but for rock and metal most of it was playing songs that I loved or finding songs that had specific things that I wanted to learn in them. For example, I really wanted to learn sweep picking so I learned the Painkiller solo. I just started out really slow with any new technique I was learning and eventually got it to where it became almost second nature by playing it over and over again
Probably a little late commenting "from Down Under" but need a fix and this is F**kin awesome. This dude nails the shit. I am a shit guitarist but i try and do this (failing miserably) ...One of my favs..Spewing they are not touring here...But i will see them soon!!
0:35 the harmony is fucking good! Especially how you wait for an "iteration" before you actually start to harmonise - soo beautiful! Let me guess: you probably didn't think about it too much; you just did it, right? :)
Hi! I'a long time fan of the Irons, and this is by far the best Powerslave solo cover I've ever heard.. imho is even better than the original solo! The best part is at 2.01.. i miss this lick now every time I listen to the original song!!! Excellent job!!! 👏👏👏👏🔝
