@0Vitax thanks:) there are no tabs yet but when I release my acoustic Maiden tribute album, I'll be releasing a tab book as well. This should be finished in about two months!
I can't imagine what might have made this arrangement better. I'll be pulling it apart for weeks. Thank you for bringing something different to an already great song.
This is not just the electrical guitar of Wasted Years played on an acoustic guitar; it is an arrangement of the multiple melodies in the song(the guitars, vocals etc), that's why it isn't the same as the electrical guitar tabs you were probably studying.
dude binnenkort ist weer kamperen op de paal:P hahaha was echt relaxed! en way to go met je guitar skills man! we laten t nog wel weten when we go camp!
ThomasZwijsen2007, my jaw just dropped when I heard your acoustic rendition of "Wasted Years", which has to be my favorite Iron Maiden song. Your cover was brilliant! When I looked up "Iron Maiden Acoustic Covers" on YouTube, I wasn't expecting anything to sound good, because I didn't imagine that Iron Maiden, in acoustic form, would translate well. Your sheer talent proved that I have an impoverished imagination. You would make Iron Maiden proud. Did you do this by ear?
hey man, when i clicked on this i thought it was gunna be crap cuz i thought u wer gunna try to pull off the normall version, but thats awsome, man nice job
hey, well this is my plan: I'm going to record a cd in a great studio sometimes around Xmas, and I want to release this including scores of all the arrangments. I'm now making more arrangements, and I guess I should make Tabs too! (It's a lot of work btw). I'm interested to know how many of you guys read "normal" scores as wel.. Tell me plz!
maby I should also make video lessons:)
tnx! and don't forget to add me on Facebook and Twitter! I post more updates there! it's easyer than youtube..
And wow, you give the most wonderfull reactions, I'm really happy with that! so tnx a lot:)
Some of you said "hey, play some Dream Theater!" and now, after about a year of having problems with my arm, it's okay again, so today I'll record a guitar version of Dream Theater's "Wait for Sleep"
awesome brother!! fear of the dark next!
