Now do it while running a marathon on stage like Steve does. That dude runs more on stage than anyone I've ever seen in concert. I pulled a hamstring just watching him.

Be sure I just do the same on stage ;) And between us, music and sport are two different things! Olympic games take place every four years and not @ Iron Maiden concerts. DG
Relax on the comments. These are his choice. All bassists complaining about certain songs not being on here, post your videos of you playing them. Great job man.
Nice job! I could listen to Maiden's bass and drums only all day long. "To Tame a Land" was Harris' favorite and certainly one of the most difficult of his bass lines. Up the Irons! *

Cheers mate, I'll soon publish "Where Eagles Dare" that I recorded with a friend of mine. It's almost done and will be on in a few day. Make sure to subscribe and hit the bell. DG
Steve is never mentioned in any bass player best of lists. That I’ve seen. He so kickass though, and have never lost any of his energy over the years. Great job by the way, u sound awesome!
Bro, you're one of my inspirations to actually play bass, and now a few years later I can play Flight Of Icarus and Powerslave by myself!!! Thank you ao much, your playing is amazing!.

Hey, I'm glad to read your progress and proud to have been of help. Take care and keep the good job ;)
The bit you left out from Powerslave, to me is the sweetest one...should have left it continue a bit more. And....the number of the beast has one of the most impressive lines ever too....and Wasted years, and stranger in a strange land, and Only the good die young and.......you know.......hard to keep down to just three really
Piece of mind and Powerslave are some of my favorite Iron maiden Albums and lately I have been more interested in how steve actually plays the base Because he seems to defy all metal norms and still get an absolutely killer metal sound. Doesn't use a pick, still sounds heavy as hell, plays with two fingers, still goes fast as fuck. and I don't even know what he does with his thumb but he seems to mute alright.
Harris' most beautiful bass lines are on Somewhere in Time. The mid section of Sea of Madness, Stranger in a Strange Land and the harmony section of Deja Vu are simply gorgeous to listen too.
@@georgeb9285 that's electric guitar... I was singling out the bass lines. Yes, Harris' lines in the powerslave solos are nice but there is a magical feel on Somewhere in Time that no other album of theirs has.... Every musical aspect of that album is phenomenal
@@norms3913 very much so.... he has some great aggressive stuff. I have always been blown away by his more harmonic lines like the mid section of Charlotte the Harlot, Sea of Madness and so on.....
Amazing Job, Congrats. I know it`s always a controversial topic but i`ll include to the list The Number of the Beast Line bass. Definitely the line basses from Powerslave are the best and most difficult too. Up the Irons
He's regularly put down as the best metal bassist of all time. Cliff Burton and Geezer Butler are the only ones to occasionally take the title over him. John Myung is far better technically, but less influential in metal overall (late in the game and less universal). Dave Ellefson also gives him a run for his money, though the influence thing really comes into play again.
SleightlyHandy Almost every poll I've ever read lists either Geddy Lee or Billy Sheehan as the best hard rock/metal bassist. Don't get me wrong. I think Steve is great. Just not as well thought of as he should be.
When learning these songs on bass, instead of reading tabs, I do my best to either learn by ear, or when I‘m stumped I‘ll watch a cover, like your many excellent ones here on TH-cam, and just watch how you play it with your fingers. It‘s a lot of fun, thank you for sharing!
Respect due !! i was watching and thinking as a bass player and maiden fan who's never attempted to play any of The Bombers stuff , actually i could probably nail these i use a lot of the same patterns myself...then you played Ancient Mariner and i suddenly became very humble and thought ...ok maybe not !! great job and again respect to you Sir. 👍🏻☮❤
A legend among bassists, an original member of the Iron Maiden franchise, teaming with musicians to create deft chords, sweeping transitions, transcendent heavy metal/hard rock sound that galvanizes the senses and resonates with multi-generational fans. I can't get enough feed more riffs. Up the Irons.
This is exactly what all these fucktards leaving arsewipe comments don't get, they obviously haven't been around long enough to understand that Maiden are one of the most influential bands of all time & set the standard for all others, it's still mind blowing to this day
This is one of the things that made Iron Maiden stand out (and inspired the world) I used to say back in the day - Steve is playing solo on every track & indeed he is. Now I've seen it & and its truly amazing 👍🏼 Up the Irons 🤘🏻
Iron Maiden was the first band I really got into. At 53 years old I finally understand that Steve Harris is why I like their music. Steve plays lead bass guitar.
Steve Harris is a pure badass on the bass. Him and Nikko are locked together tighter than two coats of paint. Most of the lyrics belong to Steve as well. Whenever I hear people talk about the best bassist of metal, Steve is one of those guys who rarely gets mentioned. He should. One of the top five ever in metal/rock. Maybe the top 20 of all time. Just one hit after another.
Listening to SH's isolated tracks, your playing is actually even more precise than what's on the record. Wow.
5 ปีที่แล้ว +3
Hey Pat. Thanks. I actually noticed the fact when I recorded my own. But you know, in those days and even nowadays, some bands do sound great together, a kind of alchemy sets out then, even though each of them sounds average or poor... and the band prevails over its individual member, doesn't it? I'm glad you enjoy my playing. DG
@ Absolutely. No knock at all on Steve Harris' playing. He's a great composer and performer and the reason why I picked up the bass. It's a testament to their musical prowess and chemistry as a band. But I also can't help but recognize your precision. As an aside, listening to SH's isolated tracks also comforts me a little that I wasn't able to play every single note as clean sounding as it did in the recorded mix. Thanks!
I remember learning this on guitar in high school and being like…”why doesn’t it sound right!!!!”… Then I played it with a bass player and realized how to music.
Absolutely love it, well done, don't listen to the negative comments, people who can't do something will always try to bring those down who can. Rock on.

The conversation going on between the bass and the drums is what makes this lines really shine in my opinion. Steve is absolutely brilliant and your work is amazing Didier! Cheers from Brazil!
Man, oh man ... when Mssr. Gerome kicks it into fifth gear during "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," mon dieu! You are a treat to listen to, sir. Merci.
Wow! That is damn nice playing! I always knew Steve Harris was good but seeing the basslines played like this gives me a whole new level of appreciation.
Lol. They shouldn't! Only practice pays 🤗 And fingers like other body parts do get used to anything as long as it is respectfully rehearsed. Thanks for the hidden compliment anyway 🤗
Damn! Didn't even know that Flight of Icarus had that bass part at 0:36 - 0:38. Steve Harris is a genius if he actually played that! Thanks for tabbing it out for us!
Man, I've been a Bass player since I was 15, played in many Bands, was Semi Pro for 7 years and then Pro for 13 years in Australia. I'm now 63 and don't play much now due to the efforts of the parasitical components of our society that think they are in control.... pick your Parasite and Head Butt them at the first opportunity..... there are many to chose from. Anyway, s'cuse the "off topic" rant......I've watched many Vids of Bass players and am amazed at what they can do with a Bass.... Steve (and indeed yourself) blow me away with Finger playing at such speed. We all play different music, in my line I never needed to learn Slap ( much as I love hearing it) or the speed that Steve and yourself can do, I am from a time when things were a bit slower by todays standards, but the best were just "really good" and layed the foundation of what came after..... the fastest bass line I have had to learn and am proud to say I did it was "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick". !6/8 Time.... Norman Watt Roy...... Brilliance! Rock on my friend.... If Steve needs a day off...... you're that Man to fill in..... The fans will approve, and so will the band....... the Die Hard Fans will want their money back, but they knew and came anyway....so fuck them.

There calls the mariner There comes a ship over the line But how can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide? See... onward she comes Onward she nears out of the sun See, she has no crew She has no life, wait but here's two!
English: Steve Harris is still one of the best bass guitar players worldwide. His technique to play is very unique and on the stage, he's a real acrobat with the three guitar players. A reference on the bass guitar. Steve Harris is an icon and a legendary bass player.
Rime of the Ancient Mariner looks like it's mind blowing to play. Wow!

Great playing! Although being a bass player myself and having heard those songs million times I haven’t noticed some of the licks especially the ones in Rime of the ancient mariner, so cool video!
nice ,. but i would have swapped the 2nd guitar solo section of Number of the beast foir the flight of icarus outro . that 2nd solo has a beastly bass line going on under it.
Until you look under C for Cliff Burton. Actually they are both great players. Steve had many more years to develop and is an amazing player. Cliff a virtuoso from a young age.
Great stuff! I've always loved the bass parts in The Prisoner. The challenging part for me is the stamina of my plucking fingers. Especially towards the end, there is no rest!
4 ปีที่แล้ว +1
Thanks, I know, stamina is the key, try to involve as little muscle as possible to get the best results . Most bassists exhaust themselves by pumping too much from their muscles while they could do the same performance with twice as less energy. DG
I hope you were mouthing all the words to the songs whilst appearing to shout them whilst doing this. Also you need to run around and put your foot on the monitor. Otherwise a great job.
He can do more with four strings than I can do with my life.

That escalated quickly

I don't get where these hate comments are coming from. I just witnessed a dude nail some amazing bass parts. Well done.
Cheers ;)
And as for those haters, it is well known that "you hate in others what's missing in you"... So rather comforting ;)
They coming from people who knows only to talk and nothing else in their lives.
It's because people are clueless morons.
Great job Didier.
One of the few metal bands that you can hear the bass! Fucking love this band!
Maiden are awesome.
That's because the bassist wrote the songs. Lol. Seriously though as sound that legendary you HAVE to hear.
Now do it while running a marathon on stage like Steve does. That dude runs more on stage than anyone I've ever seen in concert. I pulled a hamstring just watching him.

When you make Guitar Player wanna grab a Bass, you know you are an excellent Bass Player.
Holy shit...the sound of the bass without guitar is so powerful and exciting. Now i wanna listen Iron Maiden!
my forearm muscles are in pain just watching...
Lol, practise and you'll make it ;)
DG
Not sure how your arm is still attached to your body.
I love how the bass just takes over during the bridge section and solos in powerslave .....a perfect example of the bass players job
Yup ;) Cheers ;)
The Duellists? Back In The Village?? Phantom Of The Opera??? Transylvania?? Wratchild?? Etc etc etc etc....
Just check our my playlist "bass covers" and scroll down, you'll find what you're lookin for.

Doesn't use a pick, still sounds heavy as hell,

and I don't even know what he does with his thumb but he seems to mute alright.
1. Very good fingerstyle: approved
2. Four strings: approved
3. No pick: approved
4. No slap: call the police! This is ilegal 🤣

I'm a pretty good "slapper" as well but the style of music doesn't fit, does it ?
SLAP LIKE RIGHT NOW

Yeah, I agree...it has a special "vibe" to it, which I think bleeds into their next album 7th Son...
Very impressive! The ROTAM part is so very tough. You made it look easy. Well played!
I was able to listen the rest of the band playing loud and clear inside my head

I adore this bass since I was just a girl...for more than thirty years. Steve is a bass king!
Steve Harris is possibly the most underrated bassist in metal.
He's literally considered the best hard rock and metal bassist of all time
If not he's in almost every top 5
Hugh Jass I never thought ‘Arry as being underrated. A gift to metal!!
Underrated? He’s regarded as literally top of the food chain lol
He's regularly put down as the best metal bassist of all time. Cliff Burton and Geezer Butler are the only ones to occasionally take the title over him.

Now I've seen it & and its truly amazing 👍🏼

Same with Geeza Butler, very much was the driving force. And a great writer. I think the track IRON MAIDEN shows how he drives that song.
I absolutely love the powerslave bass, especially during Dave's melodic solo, just epic!
So do I ;) Cheers.
I love Steves solos, and how soft he can play then blast ya brains out. Charlotte the Harlet is a great example of that. Love that track.
The tension he creates with the bassline in the first part of Fear of the dark is so nice. It’s not conplex at all it just creates a lot of tension
Steve Harris is the soul reason why i want a bass when i get better at guitar playing
Holy crap son, you might wanna soak that right hand in some ice water to cool it down. Hahhaha nice job very impressed
That's what I usually do (with Ice cubes) as I say in my "how to play like Steve Harris" video. ;) Cheers
Iron Maiden was the first band I really got into. At 53 years old I finally understand that Steve Harris is why I like their music. Steve plays lead bass guitar.
You Sir, are a credit to the bass player craft.Well fucking played
that galloping bass lines make you want to bang your head and feel in a big Maiden live concert
One of the Greatest Bassist that ever Lived 💪🏾👊🏾💯
maybe if your world is only rock and metal...

Well played! Steve Harris is one of my favorite bassists, and seeing this makes me want to work on learning to play more of his bass lines.
To Tame a Land has to be one of his best bass performance
Awwww man l totally forgot about that masterpiece thanks for the heads up!!!!!
For sure.
I feel it's criminally underrated.
Very impressive! Steve Harris would be proud of how faithfully you reproduced his bass lines!
Cheers mate ;)
He made so much for me with his music that I owe him this at least ;)
Take care mate.

The whole album killers is a real feast of amazing basslines, iron maiden beginners go and check it out.
And those lines during the powerslave solos always makes my hair stand
Same with me haha ;)
Easily one of the most underrated bassists and song writers of the century!
I don't think He's underrated,I mean,Iron Maiden is a big name,and fans know who's the boss.
To the hard rock and heavy metal crowd...not underrated. To everyone else, I'd agree.
One of my personal favorites is "brighter than a thousand suns." Powerslave is all around an amazing album though.
I loved the part that followed the last part...."and by the light of the moon..."
So do I !
But I focused on the most impressive ones in this video, maybe I will extend my work to the most beautiful parts one day ;)
DG
Mr Harris one of the most influential bass players in my life along with Cliff Burton,Geezer,Geddy, love the finger style guys
Gorgeous work. I could never quite nail all the parts to RotAM, even at my best. Now joint issues have slowed me down further.
Cheers.
Practice is the key. Do it everyday without strain and your subconscious mind will agree and do the job by itself.
Take care mate!

To be honest, this could be a very long list!
Indeed! That's why I made another one: th-cam.com/video/-Uo0DxycOzU/w-d-xo.html

Cheers;)
My hands feel soar just watching! Especially that part of Rhyme Of The Ancient Marnier! Innocent Exile is a tough one too! Great video as always! ✊
Thank you ;)
the ancient mariner is mildly difficult to play. One is the galloping style of blends techniques, this requires much exercises.
It does but when you get them, it is so pleasant to play!
Cheers mate.

Thank you for this Insights. Steve Harris ist extreme high art of metal.
The Only the Good Die Young bass solo, is a masterpiece too!
thanks for reminding me why i learned those songs as a kid. they're badass! you did a fantastic job. love your tone as well. up the irons!!!!!
nice ,. but i would have swapped the 2nd guitar solo section of Number of the beast foir the flight of icarus outro . that 2nd solo has a beastly bass line going on under it.
And they still try to say that bass is like guitar but easier
I love the invisible bass
Love Steve's playing. Great job!
Steve Harris and you can kill Thanos only using your right index and middle fingers !!
Lol, cheers ;)
Wow that right hand plucking technique is fuckin inspiring
1:17 ... think again, well, that part is quite horrible
It is easy to find decent guitar covers but is hard to find great bassplayers.
Steve Harris is the main reason I took up bass. Amazing video
Cheers, he is my reason to take it up as well ;) The Killers intro was the trigger for me ;)

Powerslave is my favorite all-time SH bassline.
Steve Harris is the definition of metal music.
Until you look under C for Cliff Burton. Actually they are both great players. Steve had many more years to develop and is an amazing player. Cliff a virtuoso from a young age.

Dude, nailed the Ancient Mariner! That's a very tough line
Indeed, cheers ;)
And you know why? Because Steve is a bass god. Hardest working bassist on the planet
next to geddy lee
Les Claypool too i would have thought
In "Classic" heavy metal, yes
But most prog and tech death bassist do a lot more
Very impressive! But why do you and your bass are invisible? 🤔
Just for fun, my bass is sparkle blue and I could replace the colour along with my green screen ;)
I`ve knew that must be "Powerslave" and "Rime" before even watched...
Splendid man!!!
Cheers ;)
Awesome ❤
I hope you were mouthing all the words to the songs whilst appearing to shout them whilst doing this. Also you need to run around and put your foot on the monitor. Otherwise a great job.
