Iron Maiden by The Duellists From the album Powerslave (1984) Written by Steve Harris All rights belong to their respective owners Tabbed by Jaakko Karppinen I have to admit that even I haven't been able to play it 100% correctly in one take. After tabbing this masterpiece, I'm not wondering anymore why it has never been played live. I bet even 'Arry can't play it live properly. It is just so damn hard. Mostly because of the extreme endurance required and couple of riffs that are simply ridiculous. In my honorable opinion, the "Instrumental 1" and "Guitar Solo 2" riffs are one of the hardest bass lines written in Maiden history. I tried to be quite accurate with every transition, that's why the open notes between some notes. Steve has this strange habit to play an open note or two when changing from note to note. So that is just an extra little thing which isn't that important. On the "Guitar Solo 2" riff I'm not sure whether Steve plays those B notes on the E-7 and D-9 (as tabbed) or on the A-2 and G-4. Decide yourself, if you can make it all the way there ;) NOTE: The last bit of outro is just directional. There is no way on earth anyone could tab it correctly. Intro (on the last time play the notes in the brackets instead) ||------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
