  • Thanks for watching. I'd say this is the hardest Maiden solo I've tried to play. It didn't sound difficult but respect for Adrian. He comes out with these repetitive awkward licks that are really hard for me to do.
    As always, recorded through garageband using Amplitube Custom Shop and Roland FA-66 interface. Edited in Premiere CS6. Anyone wanting presets or questions answered feel free to email me Lambchopper678@me.com

    That solo always gives me goosebumps. When you tore into it, the goosebumps completely ripped off my arms lol.
    Well done, brother!

    Always one of the defining Maiden songs for me, catchy instantly memorable opening riff, soaring chorus, epic solo..it has it all.

    That guitar is just fantastic. I have a lot of fun playin on that guitar. Every time I see a Jackson Adrian Smith Signature Guitar at a guitar store, I go straight too it, plug it in, dial in a good tone, and just play the guitar the whole time.

    @losfer_astaria 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Wow! So glad to see my favorite song in your cover list!) 3 days ago I got my Jackson Adrian Smith SDX. I absolutely agree with you, this guitar is brilliant with very low price!

    • @LambChopper678
      @LambChopper678  10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cool man, which one did you get. I'm bordering on getting the twin with the rosewood fingerboard. I can't get enough of mine, though I've spent a bit of money doing it up.

    • @losfer_astaria
      @losfer_astaria 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Same as yours, maple fingerboard. In near futrure I'll make same upgrade as you. I want to set up only two humbuckers - Dimarzio Super Distortion (DP100FBK) and PAF (DP103FBK). Single coils are too weak.

    • @LambChopper678
      @LambChopper678  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      I wouldn't bother upgrading the bridge pup. The jackson one is just as good as the d100. I was a little disappointed in the upgrade, considering the price. I'm really happy with the liquifire in the neck, really thick and smooth though if I get the rosewood one I will keep single coils in it. Maybe not the stock ones but I'll definitely keep the humbucker. It seems to have a little more aggression and sizzle than the D100. One of the locking saddles sheared the threads and I replaced them with all with genuine steel ones. That's it

    • @losfer_astaria
      @losfer_astaria 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hmm, what single coils you'll choose for another SDX guitar? What singles in your opinion would be nice for Maiden songs?

    • @LambChopper678
      @LambChopper678  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not sure, I haven't looked into it. I was thinking about a Yngwie's YJZ for the neck but I'm not sure how it will sound for Maiden

    really awesome, only just came across your videos, they are really fantastic, look forward to watching all the rest tonight and love the way you do the solo as myself I found it hard. I met Adrian about 19 years ago and at one of his solo band gigs 'The Untouchables' he showed me how to play the solo of Wasted Years, such an awesome guy.

    • @LambChopper678

    • @indenialband
      @indenialband 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah there's a fair bit of maiden influence in some of our tracks, mainly in the guitar harmonies, tracks like inside & from ashes, if you're on facebook, a lot of the photos of Adrian are on there

      LambChopper678 what is the hardest solo you have ever tried playing? i'm not talking about a song but just a guitar solo, a section in a song (solo) you've ever tried to play

    • @LambChopper678
      @LambChopper678  9 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      There are so many guitar solos that are far too difficult for me. The hardest one I've played clean would probably be Tornado of Souls or Lucretia or Hangar 18
