    Steve Harris is the reason why I picked up the bass, but not only because he is a kick ass bass player but because he also wrote some of the greatest rock songs ever written. I haven't actually looked into how much he actually writes on bass if at all, but I've personally written most of my stuff on bass.

    • @danzemacabre8899
      @danzemacabre8899 Před 2 lety +3

      Same hear, started playing bass in 1984 only because I heard piece of mind and heard that kick ass sound and I haven't stopped since. He wrote damn near all of the first three then you start getting alot of Adrian Smith and Bruce with an occasional Dave Murray song

    • @rorz999
      @rorz999 Před 10 měsíci +1

      @@rorz999Maybe because your reading comprehension sucks, Steve Harris has written the majority of Maiden's songs, what I said, is that I don't know if he actually writes them using the bass or if he uses guitar or keyboard to actually write.

    It's important to notice that the plucking in this song is quite soft. Going hard on this one will consume your stamina very fast. That's why the action (how high strings are from the bridge) is quite low so you can keep a claking sound, along with high gain it appreas that you're playing really hard. Did my best with the transcription. Let me know if you have any doubts. More info in the description. Song is in D Major but also has some D Minor parts. Overall the harmony is represented on power chords so it can be quite ambiguous to work on.

      Isn't it how Steve Harris always play? I've had problem appreciating that bass sound, because it's always loud in the mix, while the attack of each notes feel "clacky" and almost weak.

    Only thing the tab you have is missing is the accents during the verse. The repetitive A (fifth fret, low E string) has percussive accents that help the bassline mimic the palm-muted nature of the guitars.

Even if you won't, I'd recommend giving it a listen. It's really something else. Anyway, long time subscriber, your videos have helped me a lot. Love what you do!
