"The Trooper" (Iron Maiden) Solos Transcription & Lesson/Analysis
Added 2024-06-04 18:31:04 +0000 UTCSo it dawned on me yesterday that I hadn't covered any Iron Maiden yet as part of my classic solos series - time to fix that!
The solos in "The Trooper" are no doubt the most iconic and well known ones the band ever played, thanks to Dave Murray and Adrian Smith, and are a masterclass in tasty, traditional Metal soloing.
I know that a lot of you over on the Discord server are keen to improve your "Blues slop" so this one's for you guys!
Good luck and don't forget to share your progress with everyone in the Discord server!

2024-06-05 19:23:31 +0000 UTCAwesome! Thanks Bradley. Fortunately, the tab books available don't suck too bad on this one. Please consider doing Judas Priest's The Sentinel soon (available tabs stink) and of course, if you're feeling frisky, All Guns Blazing, since you've already tackled Painkiller. Of course, with England being smaller geographically than the US, I think, "Hey, just go pay Glenn Tipton or KK Downing a visit and ask to throw you a bone on tackling some killer solos, but that's goofy! Cheers, and thanks for the impressive lessons!
