Learn To Play A Real Instrument: Part 1

Well, since the Xbox is down, I thought I would try my hand at ACTUAL Guitar. (Bass, that is). I purchased my bass a little over a month ago and have been practicing rather religiously. With the help of a couple good Bass Tab Books (Iron Maiden, Rush, Metallica, as well as some miscellaneous internet TAB websites), I present my first video. "Run to the Hills" by Iron Maiden, from the "Number of the Beast" Album. It was originally released in February 1982. This is also the first album featuring new Vocalist and front man, Bruce Dickinson. This was the last album Clive Burr would be featured on, as he left the band following the recording of the album. Not an FC, but I'm pretty sure it's at least a 5 Star Run. Heheheh. Comments are welcome as always, criticism as well.(Musically related only, please) And POINTERS too! Let me know what I'm doing wrong! I've never read TAB before, so this is going to be quite the learning experience. More "Real" bass vids to come in the following weeks. I almost have "Tom Sawyer" and "Harvester of Sorrow", among a few other Maiden songs, so those should be on the way! I like real guitar much more than GH and RB.

Oh. P.S. The hardware is as follows:
Guitar: Squier P-Bass
Amp: Fender Rumble 15
Got the package deal from my local music store for about 300. Pretty good deal for an entry-level bass.

Good triplets!

[smyffyraver]

you should get a 6 string to contrast your bass, its good to know how to play both... plus the solo is so much more satisfying on 6 string.
