Back In The Village by Iron Maiden

[emoboi425]

What are your amp settings? I cant seem to get a good maiden sound.

[gram440a]

@emoboi425 For this song, I used a Line 6 PodXT with old software. The settings are J800, turn everything all the way up (except the master volume of course), then I used the 75 cabinet, SM57 off axis, at the solos I usually kick on the Tube Screamer setting (all at 12:00) but I can't remember if I did here or not. I THINK on this record Maiden used Marshall JCM800 2204 amps (50 watts) and Marshall cabinets, some with 75 watt Marshall speakers, and some with Electro Voice speakers.

[emoboi425]

Where did you find the tabs??? I can't find decent ones

[gram440a]

@emoboi425 I don't use tabs, but I posted a video walk-through of the song! Check out my other videos!

[wtfusernamecrap]

@emoboi425 Hal Leonard Publishing released a book that contained the tabs for both Powerslave and Somewhere in Time. ISBN 0-88188-777-3 , HL00693096 .

[MurderNun]

flawless victory

[gram440a]

@MurderNun Thanks very much!

[KareemNicholas]

Nice cover, btw can u do a cover of fear of the dark or lord of the flies? plz

thanks!!!

[gram440a]

@KareemNicholas Thanks! Yeah those are both on my list.  I don't want to do them on the 7 string though, too clumsy, and my good 6 string is broken for the moment.

[zamohix]

great cover!

[gram440a]

@zamohix Thanks zamo!

[gzamoranelson]

Great job! do you have the tabs?

[gram440a]

@gzamoranelson Thanks! No I don't use tabs, but my most recent video is a walkthrough of how I play it, you might check it out!

[kind3ad3a]

[gram440a]

@kind3ad3a Thanks! Lucky for you, I just posted a walk-through of this song, it's my most recent video, check it out!

[embosfer]

OMG, incredibly perfect cover man! 10/10!

[gram440a]

@embosfer Thank you so much, thanks for watching!

[EpicMachineSH]

Awesome work on this cover, sadly underrated song. Keep making great videos!

[gram440a]

@EpicMachineSH Thanks a lot, I plan to continue as long as I can! I agree, I can't believe they never play this song live, it seems to be very popular!

[heinseverloh]

Powerslave would be a good choice for a cover..

[gram440a]

@heinseverloh That's probably the only song on that record I haven't learned, I probably will get around to it one of these days! Thanks for watching

[heinseverloh]

Best cover of this song ever!

[gram440a]

@heinseverloh Thanks! That's a bold statement!

[sltwentytwo]

you kick ass man. outstanding playing. i enjoy your videos. did you learn all of the songs by ear or tab? if maiden ever needed a replacement they could always give you call.

[gram440a]

@sltwentytwo Thanks! Yeah I'd love to be in Iron Maiden, they're the greatest. I almost always learn by ear, Maiden stuff is ALWAYS by ear. I usually only dig up tabs if I'm completely lost or need a hint, but I'm almost always dissapointed in them.

[cerberuuss]

@gram440a yep i put videos of maiden in my facebook and this video too

[Schoolboy13Rocks]

Ive watched more than a few vids on this here song ! - Grate Job !!

[gram440a]

@Schoolboy13Rocks Thanks a lot!  This is a very popular song, I wonder why Iron Maiden almost never plays it!?

[joncio06]

you nailed it!!! this is great :D

[gram440a]

@joncio06 Thank you very much! Check out my other videos, I have more!

[krimsonlediable]

Nevermind...it still sounds awsome though.

[krimsonlediable]

I see you use Lehle like me.Cool.

[krimsonlediable]

Up the Irons mate!!!Spot on!!!

[gram440a]

@krimsonlediable Thanks, up the Irons! I'm not using Lehle in this video though

[PGuitar97]

[gram440a]

@PGuitar97 Thanks buddy!

[andy16515]

[gram440a]

@andy16515 Wow, pro huh?  Thanks man!

[rubensfairking]

Great! Congratulations!

[gram440a]

@rubensfairking Thank you very much! Thanks for watching

[gram440a]

@rockraiser Of course I'm joking, I love showing complete strangers how to play guitar for free, especially after all those years of lessons and school and working my finger to the bone...15 12 0 15 14 0 15 12 0 15 14 0 15 12 0...12 8 0 12 10 0 12 8 0 12 10 0 12 8 0...12 9 0 12 10 0 12 9 0 12 10 0 12 9 0...14 10 0 14 10 0 14...14 11 0 14 11 0 14...repeat.

[zigzag8881]

Dude you shred, loved the vid. Should check out our bands vid on my channel. Sounds like shit due to my dodgy singin but a new vid should be coming on soon

[gram440a]

@zigzag8881 Thanks very much!

[gram440a]

@rockraiser Sorry, I have a fee for that! I can say you have the first 3 notes right, any more than that it'll cost you.

[phycoman4561]

he had as many mistakes as this video has dislikes

[gram440a]

@phycoman4561 Thanks man! Let the record show that at the time of this comment there were NO dislikes! XD Which will probably change now...j/k

[Timbemusic]

Hey, nice cover! Where did you found tabs or did you played this by ear?

[gram440a]

@Timbemusic Hey thanks! I learned this all by ear, I almost never use tabs.

[Mertius1]

has iron madien ever played this live before, i cant find it if they have

[gram440a]

@Mertius1 Not as far as I know! They should though, they should do Flash of the Blade too! My friend said they played the whole Powerslave album at a show she attended, but I'm not sure she knew what she was talking about.

[shortpiso]

Very difficult song to play,perfect cover...man,you're awesome!! Up the Irons!!!

[gram440a]

@shortpiso It's not as hard as it sounds, thanks the the compliment! Thanks for watching, UP THE IRONS!

[gram440a]

@YuiYuriNagisa Ha! I WISH! It is very Satriani-like, isn't it? I never thought of it like that before. Thanks for watching, I'm a fan OF Brazil! :)

[timzawa]

Sometimes I try to play maiden but after watching this, I can go back to my village !

;)

[gram440a]

@timzawa Ha! XD No no, you must stay and do the hard things, that's how you get better!

[MRICARD0M]

[PChord1]

Very well done Graham....great job on a difficult song to nail!!

[gram440a]

@PChord1 Thanks, all in a day's work

[tbillings20]

Excellent! My only critique, look at the recorder and have fun. Then again, I couldn't play that without looking. LoL

[gram440a]

@tbillings20 You're absolutely right, I'm no fun at all. What I really need is some dancin' girls! Thanks for watching

[tbillings20]

@gram440a Sorry guy, I didnt mean anything negative in my comment/ You play really good. Lot better than I do. I didnt mean you were boring at all. Keep sharing your vid's. THX!

[gram440a]

@tbillings20 No worries, I didn't read your comment as negative at all, in fact I really think you are right! I didn't mean to sound offended, I actually was agreeing with you!

[IlkerDeth]

[fleshiballs]

Superb

[gram440a]

@fleshiballs thanks balls!

[inhuman96]

whoa....that tone is amazing dude....keep rocking

[gram440a]

@inhuman96 Thanks man, I can tell you exactly what it is if you'd like to know

[inhuman96]

@gram440a yea thatd be cool

[gram440a]

@inhuman96 It's a Line 6 Pod XT, bring up the JCM800 model and turn everything all the way up (gain, low, mid, high, presence). Use the 75 4x12 cabinet and an SM57 off axis, and that's pretty much it!

[inhuman96]

@inhuman96 ohh alright... ive heard line 6 pods are good....u mean a marshall jcm800 right?

[gram440a]

@inhuman96 Marshall JCM800 I only like the Pod XT though, the old ones are kinda cheesy, and the more recent ones sound wimpy to me 

[inhuman96]

@gram440a yea i dont know much about them...but i know marshall jcm800s are the best....thanks for the tone guide though

[MX3401]

awesome.... 0 mistakes...

[HotRodSixString]

Play it brother

[hepadnafmc]

Awesome playing!!!

[garr1]

Excellent!
