      Right? I watch Maiden covers all the time on here, and his channel didn’t come up as recommended until today. I’m making sure to like every video so that he gets more exposure! 🤘

    Back in 1984 when I first saw Maiden playing this track live (Sept 22nd) and had been playing for a couple of years (a little younger than you Shawn) I would have killed to be this good on guitar, especially playing this. You are exceptionally talented. I like that you've dug into the roots of metal and have become a fan too!
    But...where are all the subs for this channel? I don't get it :/

    Tremenda interpretación con alma de rock. Si el solo de Maiden ya es bueno, tu versión no se queda atrás. Es esa expresión en la guitarra la que hace vibrar y no todos los guitarras, por muy virtuosos no la logran, pero tú lo haces. El rock es expresividad y se nota en cada bending y ligado del solo que hiciste.

    I've commented on your vids before and I just got notified on this post. Shawn you are one of, if not my favorite guitarist on TH-cam. The solo work here is truly great stuff! And I loved those blues based riffs in the middle section. Friggin' beautiful harmonies as well. Keep up the great work man, you have a very bright future as an artist! Ready to hear more originals too.

      Thank you so much! By the way I am just seeing that you commented before, sorry I didn't see that until now. This is one of my older videos so I don't always get notifications for it. To answer your question (albeit a little late haha) I had some great teachers that helped me learn the theory side of music, but for rock and metal most of it was playing songs that I loved or finding songs that had specific things that I wanted to learn in them. For example, I really wanted to learn sweep picking so I learned the Painkiller solo. I just started out really slow with any new technique I was learning and eventually got it to where it became almost second nature by playing it over and over again

      @@ShawnMcNair hey yo Shawn, you are still one of my favourite guitar players that I aspire! I'm getting better at my own guitar skills. I'm still a beginner but I'm focusing on practising galopp-picking and alternate picking. I can play Hallowed be thy Name at 100% speed except for the double time at the end (And without the Solo...). How would you rank Powerslave difficult wise among all Iron Maiden songs, and also compared to Hallowed be thy Name? Also what Maiden songs would you recommend as top 10 easiest (but fun to play :D)? Man I hope I can play like you in this video, some day 😁 ah btw I'm using a Harley Benton Victory Classic BK Vintage. Flying V for beginners hehe
