Darknodar1235th May 2010Yeah! Iron maiden rules! m/ But Daniel rules even more!
You think you could something like a Hallowed be thy name?
I think thats the most popular Iron Maiden song.But kinda time consuming I think more than the Scarified I requested
Anyway, great job as always!
Kristofer Dahl5th May 2010Very cool lesson Daniel - Iron Maiden sure has an unmistakable way of writing & arranging!

Welcome to the "Aces High" lesson!
This song is found on Iron Maiden's "Powerslave" album and it's actually the first song I ever liked from them, and still pumps up the adrenalin. :)
You are not going to find a whole bunch of diverse techniques here but I believe practicing with a real context and real music is an excellent tool for your improvement on the guitar!
I hope you enjoy this lesson, and see you on the next one!
