Hey everyone! First of all, happy New Year! This is the first video for the new year, and it's been a nightmare to create. I had been looking forward to tabbing this one for a long time, and to be honest, I was very skeptical about the main riff. But I think I've figured out what's going on. Adrian plays the core riff here-you can hear it clearly in the song's intro. Now, what's interesting with Adrian's playing here is that, although the melody of the riff is clear, he also lightly hits the adjacent strings, giving that raspy sound. I've indicated these notes as ghost notes, in parentheses. You don't need to play them as actual notes-just lightly hit the strings with your pick to make them ring. Secondly, Adrian's rhythm feel leans a bit on the descending notes of the melody, giving an overall dancing character-oh, and these notes are tapped with the left hand. And then... comes Dave with Steve, playing a steadier version of the riff but with opposite gallops! Dave is playing a reverse gallop here. Absolute mayhem! Brilliant! Anyway, this riff can't be fully captured with just one guitar-it will never sound the same. So, good luck to anyone who tries to learn the song! LoL As always, enjoy the lesson! 🤘 😎🤘
Dude, fantastic work and playing. Such a awesome song on an amazing album. Ever thought about doing Prodigal Son? Adrian's solos are AMAZING in that song
I appreciate the thoughtfulness and investment of time that goes into every one of your videos. You knocked it out of the park with this one, as usual. Well done and thanks for another exceptional post. Have a terrific 2025!
Beautiful song and very well performed as usual! I very much appreciate your detail of including the other guitar to indicate when you play Adrian and when you play Dave!
Great video! This will always be my personal favorite Maiden song. I love the guitar harmony at the beginning of the solo, and Adrian’s expressive playing in the song’s outro. Well done capturing all those parts…
Starting the new year off with a banger! Love this song...there is so much going on with everyone's parts. I can see why it was a nightmare! Thank you for your hard work and all the lessons. UP THE IRONS 🤘
Excellent video👏👏👏😎. Very well done… Can you please do tutorial for Deja Vu? It’s my favorite Maiden song and i can’t find good lesson or tabs for it. Thank you for your work
This masterpeace of Maiden is finaly here, all in this song is so perfect : the intro is very disturbing to play , Adrian and Dave are playing 2 différents riff at the same Time 😮, so hard but so successfull, the prechorus and solo are so captivating, I really love this song and your work on it is exceptionnel, thanks a lot , but where is the link to buy this lesson ? Have a very extra year to .
Happy New Year to you too! The PDFs and the website videos are not ready yet. I was supposed to finish them today, but instead, I'm working on Heaven Can Wait and drinking beer, haha. I will finish the SoM lesson tomorrow. 😁😁😁
Excellent work as always. Such a good guitar riff and phrasing. I feel the vocals really didn't fit the song at all and made it clumsy. (any vocals, not a diss on Dickinson here...)

Najlepszy na UA-cam !
Thank you!!

The solo on 'Prodigal Son' is the best Adrian has ever recorded, second only to 'The Writing on the Wall'... 🙂

What sort of effects are used during the clean section after the solo to get that sound?
Chorus, reverb, and a bit of delay. However, that chiming sound is primarily achieved through the choice of amp and speaker simulator.
Excellent work as always. Such a good guitar riff and phrasing. I feel the vocals really didn't fit the song at all and made it clumsy. (any vocals, not a diss on Dickinson here...)
Yeah, the vocals ruin the main riff, haha. Strangely enough, though, I kinda like the chorus on this one.
