[AxLZ1]

[NeoRevolution461998]

Dude this is Amazeing!thanks you really helped me out alot,

Please keep tabbing and makeing videos :DD

[kakarotox435]

AMAZING ! THANKS!!! :)

[srincrivel1]

man, i really cant do the 0:24, could someone give me an adittional help? Besides training a lot?

[onimusha514]

@srincrivel1 im sorry but the only think you can do is practice, is a really easy lick

[ReapersShredder]

@srincrivel1

maybe start without the bend on the 14 fret

[RunOut1724]

@srincrivel1 Unfortunately there is no easy way to get anything down on the guitar without practice. Only advice I can give is take it slow. Play only as fast as you can comfortable play it without any mistakes and just keep doing it over and over and over, gradually speeding it up. It will come.

[Alex051993]

wrong tab!!

Thanx dude

You helped alot :)

[sakurastar68]

Great lesson! Definitely made the solo easy to learn! :)

[SmackdownVsRawcmpunk]

your adrian smith solo isn't crisp but your dave murray is fucking awesome

[Roneil22]

Awesome!

[HipsDontLie420]

EDDIE!!!!!!!!

[AllHailZeppelin]

I know how to read musical notation, but what the hell do the slanted lines at 2:10 mean?

[jonjonjon1370]

@AllHailZeppelin that big v? whammy. the arrows are bends

[KEEpiiTSiMpLEE]

Thanks alot !

[GARYIKKILUIZ]

Thanks a lot, the video helped me in so many ways to make this solo easier me to learn. Really good video!

[Dontholdback747]

uh, sorry for being such a noob, but what does that arching line from one fret to another mean on the tab? like everything in the second half of 0:11

[SmfKnt]

excelent job, thanks

[jfutach]

Adrian's part is no good. Stuff beginning at around 1:24 has a way different and more complicated rhytm structure. Actually a really tricky part to nail right....

[Fexes420]

damn dave murrays part does not sound that good without the background but i guess that could be said for alot of solos

[kingmetalish]

thanks, now i know how to play the solo......you play very very well....XD

[blindend71]

these type of lesson videos helps alot!!! thanx a million!!!! PS Godsmack is gay!!

[StodddyFx]

[piltafboy]

[eduardo0796]

[ImChikatiloGetOverIt]

@eduardo0796 tell me about it ):< my 2nd finger will just not bend the string that fast ):< it's getting there though :D

[LicMegags]

@eduardo0796 same 4 me.

[eduardo0796]

Damn this solo is kinda hard but I will practice thanks for the upload

[HellsHighwayTrooper]

Beast.

[BenKcorp]

The slomo of the solo sounds like good porn music.

[fjmmetal45]

do you have a video lesson of master exploder???

[juanarkantos]

thank you so much dude, you are great!

[MrLuisLemon]

thx great lesson and very nice work!

[Mizz22100]

awesome video man... your tabs and this video helped me a lot. You don't find many nice people who give out tabs and videos for free and which are detailed and accurate. Keep it up!

[alexijunior13]

thanx great lesson :)

[luchettyful]

gracias sensei  pero en el segunso solo estás fallando

[RsTycoon201]

heh. we have the same guitars :D but your knobs seems less shinier than mine o:

[StuBackbreaker26]

Fucking Boney French Fry Fingers

[charmen110]

at 1:24 how do you do the finger tapping

[skolnick14]

@charmen110 he picks 17 on the b srting, then pick 15 on the E and hammers on19,pulls of to 15,hammers 17,pulls off to 15, and then the whole thing starts over. no taps.

[HanneProt]

It's a great video, good lesson & tab, but can somebody please explain what he's doing at 2:12? Thanks

[d13rsx]

i can play this solo easily, but it's the best solo lesson i have ever seen for beginners.

[Wesleyaxeld]

How do you strum that solo bit starting at 0:44 ? I dont get it, since i only see you strum a string once every time you do the whole 17 15 19 15 17 15

[skolnick14]

@Wesleyaxeld he picks 17 on the b srting, then pick 15 on the E and hammers on19,pulls of to 15,hammers 17,pulls off to 15, and then the whole thing starts over.

[Wesleyaxeld]

@skolnick14

Thnx, i just seem to not have the speed to do it that fast:< (only a medium guitar player so..):P Anny tips on how to get speed on stuf like the 17 15 19 15 17 15 and the 12-15 14b ? or how to get the quick cool style like in the real played song

[skolnick14]

@Wesleyaxeld start slow and build up speed! learn it really slow. also do hammer on exercises and picking exercises to build speed and strength.

[Necro0211]

Awsome Guitar :D

[BradDeLorenzo]

Bends...work on them.

[asianaxeman]

very very good, well done mate, good lesson!

[Tinfoil93]

This is like 90 percent the same as the solo for the trooper in the Iron Maiden anthology so it doesn't really matter.

[SyrionG]

Nice video it help me to study the solo. Thanks!!!

[TEUSk10]

carai esse solo e o capeta vei muito foda

[skaterdouche4]

u made this song alot easier to play now still hard tho

[Xx0Mystic0xX]

00:40 Damn it. I cant do that part. Those are all hammer ons and pulloffs right? Any tips on how I can improve my playing. When I do the pull offs there is alot of motion and I cant make them sound that loud.

[Tinfoil93]

@Xx0Mystic0xX Start out slow. Sometimes it doesn't sound right at first, but once you can get closer to the correct speed it will sound a lot better.

[TutorednoobXD]

@Xx0Mystic0xX When you pull off try pulling the string back it makes the note ring out and sound more louder. Also try getting the time right, Like Tinfoil93 said start out slow and work your way up. If you start fast you'll just make it sound sloppy and make it much more difficult. That's all i have for you buddy, Practice, Practice , Practice! Hope this helped.

[Xx0Mystic0xX]

@TutorednoobXD Thanks bro but unfortuantely I snapped a string hahaha so I cant play.

[TheRedBull777]

Cool



[siddheshboo]

good

[TheFingerboard12]

you guitar its cort¿?

[Leewander]

Great vidoes, learned the solo this way. Keep them coming (Y)

[maurorhcp89]

great tutorial man! thanks! ;)

[RhcpLeboeuf]

good good good x1000

[TheSuperkev]

thanks alot mate i have always wonted to learn this solo and u help alot

[1563287]

very good ahora ya mese the trooper xD

[brylidan]

@1563287 estas hablando en español ?

[1563287]

@brylidan ingles y español XD..........recuerdo que este solo era lo único que me faltaba aprender de la canción y con esta lección me lo aprendí 100%

[RobinFreakTom]

Seriously guys, it doesn't matter how the guitarist play the songs, its sounds like the solo, just deal with it, if your gonna just go on every video and complain that there not doing it right then just get a life :(

[fede1081]

@RobinFreakTom 1563287 said : very good now i learned The Trooper! (is a good comentary)

[ResidentLR]

@RobinFreakTom That's because it isn't right. The title should read "Trooper Solo Cover Lesson." You can find tabs on ultimate guitar or something, and they are exactly right. If you want to play it your way, fine, but don't pass it off as the original.

[TheRDM000]

congratulations man, I learned so much with you!!!

[ratospalm]

muito bom.. very good ! Excelente !

[Xerockstar]

Thanks dude! The tabs are very helpful and save everyone from hearing you talk for five hours fret by fret (other vids don't realize how pointless that is). It wasn't 1000% percent perfect, but I'd say you play it well enough for any stage. Ignore the trolls :P

[thegame279]

how do you play 1:20-1:45

[TUPPPANCE]

fuck this aint easy but thats iron maiden for ya, nice vid

[medra1980]

the hammer on pull offs on 2:41 : 11 13 11 13 are wrong

[amortewsma]

yeah!!!!!

[1563287]

thanks veri nice

[rangortheguitarist]

terrible tabs.. and use your pinky.. good playing thou...

[Pewtooyou]

Way wrong... Nice try though!!!!

[tercac]

Thanks so much for this vid, Im in my room right now trying to learn this solo. This video should dmake things easier thanks!

[Pewtooyou]

Totally obnoxious... Just post your solo... HOLY CRAP...  You're wrong anyhow...

[TUPPPANCE]

@Pewtooyou can you post something better? no? thought so

[palitodlselva]

thanks man! can you tell me what kind of distortion do you use?

[zelaaman]

Thanks man! Ive been trying to learn them solos myself! and to no avail? but with your tabs especially slowed down I think i will be able to get them down thaks so much for posting 5 stars!

[Burtonianz]

i think it's better when improvised

[ewmehmo]

@Burtonianz

it depends on who is doing it

[Burtonianz]

@ewmehmo i prefer improvising

[metalmusicrocks13]

my damn middle finger hurts so much from bending so much

but still awesome solo

UP THE IRONS!

[holacaracola66]

thanks for the lesson

[SlaughterTheFrail]

Shit, how the hell do you do 0:26?? :/

[Burtonianz]

@SlaughterTheFrail look exactly which finger he's placing onto the fretboard and practice doing it over and over again without ceasing with a metronome and you'll soon get it done

[guii70]

my giutar is just like yours! awesome isn't it? it's even more awesome when using metal muff (a distortion pedal from eletro harmonix which kirk also uses)... my next goal is to buy dave murray stratocaster signature from fender, which will sound even better to play maiden... up the irons from brazil

[HellsHighwayTrooper]

Are you sure this is accurate?

[dashbb1]

nice guitar, and a great video really helped me when i needed to learn this for my band, thanks

[jggarfax]

thanks



[VincePlaysGuitar]

[1234TheKing123411]

[skaterdouche4]

[nbaboygame]

@1234TheKing123411 what were you doing at 2:12 ??

[IronEddie6661]

@1234TheKing123411 what do the half circle symbols above and below the fret numbers mean?

[XxblackxmaidenxX]

[mathiasmetalhead]

[demonjack124]
