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! 🤘
Been playing guitar for about a year. Your videos have inspired me to practice every day. My music teacher even helped me learn some theory with one of your videos. Keep it up!
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.
Best cover on TH-cam, I had to replay this 5 times before commenting. Your improvisations are amazing and i didn't think this solo could be made better until you proved me wrong.
Probably a little late commenting "from Down Under" but need a fix and this is F**kin awesome. This dude nails the shit. I am a shit guitarist but i try and do this (failing miserably) ...One of my favs..Spewing they are not touring here...But i will see them soon!!
to me this solo cover stands out. Not one-to-one but in my opinion enhanced with some homemade special sauce that you wont find anywhere else. You can really taste that finess on that flaming solo! great video man
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.
0:35 the harmony is fucking good! Especially how you wait for an "iteration" before you actually start to harmonise - soo beautiful! Let me guess: you probably didn't think about it too much; you just did it, right? :)
Hi! I'a long time fan of the Irons, and this is by far the best Powerslave solo cover I've ever heard.. imho is even better than the original solo! The best part is at 2.01.. i miss this lick now every time I listen to the original song!!! Excellent job!!! 👏👏👏👏🔝
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
it really bugs me how the most talented people go unmentioned on this platform
Much appreciated man, thank you!

Yeah this guy fucking rips
Hey man, props. For less than 600 views, this is probably the best rendition of Powerslave's solo I've ever heard.
That means a lot man, thank you!
i wouldn't have thought of harmonies in the first section, good show mate
Thank you man!
Those harmonies you came up with, add so much to an already amazing song! Just beautiful!
Been playing guitar for about a year. Your videos have inspired me to practice every day. My music teacher even helped me learn some theory with one of your videos. Keep it up!
Thank you so much Jack that is so awesome to hear! Keep at it man!!! \m/
Dude this is fantastic. You made it your own while also maintaining the key elements that make the solo what it is. Amazing job bro
Thank you so much!
Very, very, very nice. This has got to be one of THE best solo covers on Powerslave that I have EVER heard.
Nice work Shawn!
The most fucking perfect cover I have seen! Greatest job that could exist about that song!!!!
iron maiden would be proud to have you on stage with them and rip that solo that you just did . excellent work
Absolutely awesome. Love the harmonies too. You’re a real talent. I need a guitar tutor like you!
A great cover.👌👏👏🎸🎸
Gets better everytime i watch it. Could you do some more maiden solos? Thank you.
That tone 🤤
Really nice! Like the take on the first Adrian solo!

Not a tear...just got something in my eyes.

Thanks so much man! Me too, I saw Maiden last summer in Philly and it was the best show I've ever seen. Can't wait until they are back at it again!
@@ShawnMcNair Iron - ironically originally uploaded on my birthday...mmmm..must be the maiden alignment..HaHa

Wow is all I can say. Wow.
