by Iron Maiden(Harris/Murray) Transcribed by Eddie Breslin([email protected]) INTRO: Gtr II (Adrian) I'll show the picking pattern for the three chords used in the backing to the solo. I'll show the chord changes with the solo. Played with a 3/4 time feel. |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |----------14------14--------------14------14---------------------| |------14------14------14------14------14------14---etc-----------| |--12----------------------12-------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| F |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |---------10------10-------------10------10-----------------------| |-----10------10------10-----10------10------10---etc-------------| |--8----------------------8---------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| G |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |----------12-------12--------------12------12--------------------| |------12------12-------12------12------12------12---etc----------| |--10-----------------------10------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| Gtr I (Dave): with Phaser and Delay F |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |--7-s/-9-hold------9b(10)r9-hold---7h9p7--7s5--4s/5s4-hold-----| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |----5p4--(s)2-hold--------------4h5--7s/9-hold--9b(10)r9-hold---| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| G |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------12--13--15-15b(17)---r15-----15p13h15~------| |--7s/9--10--12-s/14----------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| F |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |--13h15p13--12s10-s/12-s10----8h10p8---5h8p5-------------------| |------------------------------------------------7b(9)r7p5-7------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-(8)---------------------15b(17)-r15-b(17)~----15b(16.5)-r15-----| |--7b(9)r7p5------------------------------------------------------| |-------------7~--------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| G |-------------------------------------------------------15b(17)~--| |--15--13--15b(17)--15~------------13h15p13--12-------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| 'Quiet' bit with 'Take a Look...' I'll try and show the basic idea. Finger the open Am and try to follow the melody by lifting your finger on 2nd string. Then pick the Fmaj7 chord anyway you want.

When muting the strings and strumming between the parts shown lift your 3rd or 4th finger off the 3rd string, i.e. don't hold the melody notes down,just keep the A power chord fingered. Play the extended notes with upstrokes to emphasise the melody. |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |--2---------4-(2)---5-(2)---4-(2)---2-----2----------------------| |--2---------2-------2-------2-------2-----2----------------------| |--0--x-x-x--0--x-x--0--x-x--0--x-x--0--x--0----------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| F G A G |--1--------------------------------------------------------------| |--1---------------------Gtr II plays---8-s/-10--10-s-8----------| |--2------------------------------------7-s/-9---9--s-7----------| |--3--------------------------------------------------------------| |--3--------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------7--/--9---9----7---------| |---------------------------------------5--/--7---7----5---------| |------------------------Gtr I plays----5--/--7---7----5---------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| Sometimes Gtr II plays: |----------------------------------------1------------------------| |---------5-------6-----8-----10---------1------8-s/-10--10-s-8--| |--2------4--xxx--5-xxx-7-xxx-9----------2------7-s/-9---9--s-7--| |--2-------------------------------------3------------------------| |--0--xxx--------------------------------3------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------| C/G Oh!

SOLO'S: Transcribing solo's is not my strong point but you should the main ideas from the following. These are the album solo's. Some of fast licks, especially Dave's are more approximations than anything else.
