[captain1254]

@Docca3 na... i think yours is better... :D

[Arcanumxxxxx]

can you give me the tab?please!

[SiK0Fuzz1es]

Haha. I remember when I first heard this song. I fell in love. But unfortunately.. I completely forgot about the album they had released back in.. 2005..?? (correct me if I'm wrong) and am just now remembering, lol. But this is good shit. Iron Maiden is epic.

I also remember first learning this song. Haha.

Those were the days.

[amazinglyuselessfact]

@SiK0Fuzz1es

Dance of Death is from 2003

A Matter of Life and Death is from 2006

[cslash81]

Congratulations!!!

[DrFenderTelecaster]

Awesome cover do you have the tab for this? the tab I have is seriously flawed and I can't figure it all out

[Docca3]

ta very much - don't have tabs for this one though

[educassiano]

Sick Job Man! Awsome! Just hope to get to this level someday as welll! Thank you so much! Graet editing.

[nba9515]

[blazerrips91]

damn i wish i had a strat i have a ibanez gio a resonator (a crap one) and a old mosrite with out a head stock its gonna be a bastard to replace

[kingalooy]

good job man ,seriously awesome... :( wish i can do it to impress my folks..but it seems so hard coz my level in guitar is0%..keep going dude

[noobaxe]

Love this song and your guitar!

[NinoMetalGuitarist]

good job. can you send me the tabs of what you did?

[hep003]

cooll guitar!

[tominator0x0]

how weird is this? I've had these two stringless guitars in the corner of my room for about as long as i can remember, never played guitar, probably never will. when i checked though it turns out they're both the same as the ones you have.

[callen3615]

Sure, I bet you have a strat and a lp standard. And you dont play guitar but you search cover songs of iron maiden. ok

[AgentFour]

At least you have Hot Rails in your Strat. Good

[Docca3]

They're actually DiMarzios .....

[KARVAKY]

wow, you are so good¡

[KARVAKY]

where did you get the tabs??

PLEASE ANSWER

[Docca3]

no tabs .... just ears

[chocks1]

Great Cover! Good Job! Can't wait to see more of your work!

[IronMaidenTheKillers]

What's your guitare ???? Rep Please !!!

[Docca3]

the strat is a Squire, Korean, 1988. The LP is a Gibson Standard, 2005

[itsgk]

who's better is irrelevant. This one is quite brilliant

[Docca3]

haha - ta very much :)

[bmx8739]

some sick shit right there =)

[vvironmaiden666]

this is the best cover ever played!!

[Docca3]

while the comments is much appreciated ... I'd check out Fustaccio's cover of DoD before pronouncing this one the best!!!!!

I haven't done BNW .... may think about it in the future though :D

Thanks a lot :)

[Fustaccio85]

Thanks a lot Doc! I hope to see BNW someday :), it's a great song

[fr3ddyxdstroy]

this is the best cover ive ever seen man. your fucking good dude

[Docca3]

thanks very much - but check out Fistaccio85's version on the response .. truly brilliant :)

[Docca3]

Christ -I can't spell!!!  Fustaccio83 is who I mean!!

[Fustaccio85]

[FinalFrontier0]

Nice tone, great playing.

Good job man.

[Hawkon33]

nice played dude !

[Docca3]

ta very much - check out Fustaccios as well - much better than mine :-S

[Fustaccio85]

Thanks Doc, but it's not true, just different ways of playing! I try to be closer to the original as much as I can, for this one I really believe I got it! Hope to hear from you soon, if not merry christmas!!! I'll try to send some personal wishes to you......;)

[enzoenzo93]

NEVER PLAY THE GUITAR AGAIN

[Docca3]

????????????

[Wh473v4h]

great cover.I enjoyed listening. Your stratocaster is american, right?

[Docca3]

ta very much - the strat is my trusty old '88Squier with DiMarzio rail pups :D

[valles666]

dude i love ur les paul can i have???? lol but seriously nice playing on both parts how long did it took you to sync the sound of both vids??

[Docca3]

ta very much ... this synching takes a while, but gets easier with practice!

[valles666]

hey i got a question do u know how to put split screens in one vid???

[Docca3]

I've done that with Benjamin Breeg and Finding my Way - I use Adobe Premiere, put the two videos onto different tracks and use the video effect panels to adjust their size and position.

[valles666]

see cuz me and sum friends want to make a tribute cover of one of our fav band and since we cant get together to play it in one video were triying to make like an internet band and have all of us play one song in split screens in one video

[Docca3]

great - love to see it. Virtual Zeppelin and Virtual Beatles are done that way. I've done the guitar part for a Virtual Rush vid as well, but haven't seen the finished article yet :-S. Good luck with it .... - pm me if you need any help :D

[valles666]

yeah me and the violin player wanted to do one of their recent songs but there wer too many instruments and i dont think we could fit everyone in one single screen and thanks man ill keep that in mind ima check out the virtual zeppelin and beatles see how cool they came out

[Docca3]

yeah - jun626 does a great job on the video editing.

[valles666]

do u think he would give me a hand with the editing??

[Docca3]

dunno - one can but ask the question :-S

[BJD106]

You rock dude. I'm trying to learn it but my picking isn't good enough to do the solo. Not yet anyways.

[Docca3]

it will get there with practice .... thanks

[wahwah4000]

wah pleeeeeeeeez?

[Docca3]

??????????????????

[mortanius458]

Ok.. Nice pickups on the stratocaster ;)

[Docca3]

yeah - the DiMarzios are great :D

[mortanius458]

Nice guitar man !! And nice played

[Docca3]

[Docca3]

[urmomxl9990]

[Docca3]

[nikeid9]

[Fejklman]

gerat playing !!!! 666/5

i love this song so much ... i can play whole rythm parts but i cant get over solo parts ... this song is definitely a reason to learn sweep picking ---> favourite --> subscribe

[Docca3]

thanks very much .... I've still got a lot of work to do on the solos ... but it's been a long while since I played it though!

[azzazzazzaaaa]

man can you put out a lesson for this song because awerybody stops at the end of the intro nice les paul by the way

[Docca3]

well - I'm just starting to do some for vanderbilly[dot]com, so maybe this should go on the list ....

[o0JackTheRipper0o]

veramente bravissimo! solo 2 cose: intanto non ho capito la faccenda delle 2 chitarre, boh. e poi potevi evitare di mettere la canzone originale di sottofondo perchè così non si sente bene quello che suoni tu. cmq bravissimo, questa canzone è la mia preferita. :D

[Docca3]

thank you very much. Why 2 guitars and the original song - to show the harmonies and to add interest. See comments above :D

da Google Translate:

grazie mille. Perché 2 chitarre e il brano originale - per mostrare le armonie e di aggiungere interesse. Leggi commenti di cui sopra :D

no idea if that says what it's supposed to!!

[etimus24]

mi piace molto come suoni!!!!!!!

[asta49]

freakin' amazing. wish i could play this whole song. ah well. keep on kicking ass.

[Docca3]

I wouldn't have been able to play this at 14 either! Just keep playin'

[TeamJWJ]

Totaly Dig your Les Paul.

[Docca3]

haha - yeah - 'tis lovely :D

[tttkaabo]

good job, how did u get the tabs? or did u learn it by ear

[Docca3]

thanks very much - this is all done by ear - I try not to use tabs too much. If I do, it's just to get the gist of it right, then I go off on my own. When I do use them, I get them from Ultimateguitar[dot]com

[TeamJWJ]

As people seem to be saying, I dunt Give4 a shit if this is fake, you have the finger positioning right so go to hell everyone else

[Docca3]

wooo hoooo - 100 comments .. Wow :D:D:D:D

Thanks very much - I can assure one and all out there that this is not fake .... it IS me playing.

[Dragon4Anarchy]

the best parts of the song are the guitaring which first starts, on this vid, at 3:02

[Docca3]

and you say that all that's faked? I assure you, that's me. The proper track is playing in the background. send me an email address and I'll send you a sound track without the backing if you like - just so you can see that I'm not faking!

[Dragon4Anarchy]

i'm not giving anybody my email, but you shouldn't be playing the original tracks in the background in the first place, it gets in the way of hearing you actually play.

[Docca3]

then you accept that it's me playing?

I use a backing track to add interest as well as to keep time. It could get quite dull listening to a simple chord sequence played umpteen times on it's own. I want the drums, bass and vocals alongside ... but they never overpower what I'm playing; it's quite easy to discern the difference if you listen. Try it yourself and you'll see what I mean!

[Dragon4Anarchy]

i can tell you were faking the second it got to the best part, you let the stereo take over, what a waste of time to watch another sorry ass wannabe ruining iron maidens music

[Docca3]

and just what bit do you call the best bit? Watch the fingers and you'll see they follow the sound .. and remember there are two guitar tracks recorded. None of it is faked .. if it was, it'd be played a damn site better!

[Presoner]

Hey, don't care about a douchebag who haven't ever played guitar before!Just a stupid would thin that your vid is a fake!Everybody, who knows just a bit about music can see that you're really playing...And how!!It was very good, I liked it!

[Docca3]

haha - don't worry, I don't let such comments get to me :)Ta very much

[Zumorimoto]

Very good. I myself haven't been playing guitar myself but I've already geared myself to picking up quickly on speed in my finger placement and picking along with accuracy because my goal is to hopefully be able to play iron maidens songs just as well as you did here. Very good job. A real inspiration to me. ;)

[Docca3]

excellent :)

[Vicioussama]

Oh wow, just came across this one :P I love this song. This, Blood Brothers (ha they start the same), and Paschendale are my favorite Iron Maiden songs.

I have to ask, as you have seemed to play a bunch of their songs, which was hardest? :P

[Docca3]

hardest? hmmmm .... difficult, as they're all hard in their way, but probably this one. The harmonised riff is relelntless and keeping it in time is not easy. I was also really struggling with the solos.

But the ones I find really hard are not here :-o Check out Fustaccio85's rendition of Seventh Son .... THAT's hard, and I simply cannot play it anything like as well as he does!!!!

[Vicioussama]

I've checked out his video :P I think you're both prolly the best guitarists I've seen around YouTube lol.

[arcange777]

bravo tres bon travail

[OsowaMaster]

good job

[Docca3]

ta very much :)

[serpenthorcervantes]

Esta muy chido tus cambios de guitarra pero algunos benginng del solo de Dave Murray no alcanzan la nota adecuada, pues en general esta muy chido tu cover algo descuadrado los solos pero muy bien

[Docca3]

Thank you very much :)

I think I've got a reasonable translation! - but yes, the beginning of Dave's solo needed much more work when I did this. I haven't played this for a good while, so it'd be interesting to try again now:

[stephenbrown5]

That was really, really, cool. I just watched it two times now, and I both got chill both time, and it "wow'ed" me both times. :]]

good job!

[Docca3]

fantastic - glad you liked it :)

[lipotor]

that was the coolest thing ive ever seen.

[Docca3]

coolest thing ever??? Wow!!!

[VulutZ]

Really nice cover!

[Docca3]

ta very much :)

[misterammer]

co0o0ol!!!! man u rock! where did u find the tab?? please send it to me! :D

[Docca3]

no tabs for this - but I usually look on Ultimateguitar[dot]com for any I want.

[Kennakus]

thats a really good cover bro

hey have you done Run to the Hills?

[Docca3]

thanks very much - haven't done rtth, but there's lots out there who have - and better than I could possibly achieve!!!

[grubbiss]

i love that white strat your playing daves part at!! keep up the nice work man!! up the irons

[Docca3]

yeah - 'tis a lovely one :) Thanks very much

[naruto484484]

i love how the song goes its like something u hear from a renosance time but mixed with rock and i think that comes out wicked keep up the good work

[trinishipp]

awesome work bro

one request bro

could u do iron maiden's "the reincarnation of benjamin bregg"

thats one of my fav song from iron maiden

thnx :)

[Docca3]

ta very much .... BB may be a bit far for me at the moment, but who knows in the future :)

[xFlipKicKx]

(actually it's benjamin "greed")

[trinishipp]

nope bro

it IS benjamin "breeg"

not benjamin "greed"

i might be the biggest fan of iron maiden.....so ya....... it is "breeg" not "greed"

[xFlipKicKx]

yep I just checked, my bad...sry

well it's definitely not Bregg lol

sry for the false information

[tenn1srocs]

why isnt your guitar pluged in, its almost definatly not wireless because youd see the adaptor, and if the whole guitar was wireless i wouldnt have the lead socket.

[Docca3]

both guitars are plugged in - but recording goes direct from effects board to PC, not via amplifier.

[Dharahion]

Why 2 guitars?

Nice job :)

[Docca3]

why not???? haha - I just wanted to make it clear that I'd done two parts for the harmonies. Thanks very much.

[kazaskater]

great job, keep it up

[oliverberg]

Awesome cover. Great job! ^^

[Docca3]

ta very much - appreciated :)
