- Can I Play With Madness
Can I Play with Madness by Iron Maiden From the album Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (1988) Written by Adrian Smith, Bruce Dickinson and Steve Harris All rights belong to their respective owners Tabbed by Jaakko Karppinen I have based this tab almost completely on the studio bass track you can find in Youtube so it should be almost 100% correct. The basic pattern for this is quite simple, but on the studio version Steve does a lot of variations, so I decided to tab em' all. The only thing I haven't tabbed are all the accents of the notes since it would have taken too long. Those accents should come quite naturally because the song is so "bouncy". This song gives you a lot of room to improvise so you don't have to play it exactly as Steve does on the record. EDIT: I added those accents anyway :p I was also tried to be as pedantic as possible figuring out when Steve plays opens and when he doesn't (as he usually avoids using opens if possible). You can play those notes just as you prefer. Hope you enjoy! Up The Irons!
