- My notes
Iron Maiden has influenced thousands of guitar players around the world. In today's lesson we'll study a piece in the style of this British metal band. In order to reproduce the guitars that make this group so appealing, we'll use a combination of minor pentatonics and natural minor scale.
The key of today's track is F# minor with a slight change at the end with the chords of B minor and E Major. Study all the following licks slowly and be as precise as possible. You'll notice that the backing tracks include some harmonized parts as this is a big aspect of Maiden's style.
Have fun!
