Definitly one of Kirk's best solos.. at age 21😱
🤘🤘🤘
Yeah! Kirk was very inspired back then!
I'm 22 and I still struggle with the solo. Thanks to thus video for the proper lesson
Me learning this solo hitting 50. 😂
A great sounding solo with a true narrative that really builds to a musical climax. Not a difficult solo to play by any means, but a very inspired solo. You can tell that Kirk put time into crafting it.
i can't get enough of this tune and really like your slower version
Thanks! That's an epic song and solo for sure \m/
This is so much better than the official tab book.
That was an awesome solo. It’s too advanced for me. I have learned the Flight of Icarus solo lessons from your videos. Thanks. Really appreciate the work you do for us.
Thanks, I'm glad my videos help.
thanks to you, i'm 90% on it! cant believe im struggling on the 3:33 part, which seems to be simple...
really appreciate your work, thank you!
Same
holy smoke a tough one bro..
is easy
Pentatonic parts are easy, the arpeggios at the end are Hard but easy with practice
Nah! Holy smoke is an easy song to learn!
@@shamuscus you play it then
Hard to do up to speed. Stop saying it’s easy in the comments because doing it up to speed is hard. And y’all that are calling it hard can’t even do it so shut up
This was such a great resource to help me learn how to play this solo! Thank you!!
Glad it helped!
This solo is relentless, I have lots of practice to do. Thanks for the video and tab!
It's actually quite easy once you learn all the notes. Simply commit all the notes to memory and then work on getting it up to speed. Shouldn't take more than a few hours of practice
Best tutorial ever
Thank you!
You can definitely hear some Johann Sebastian Bach influence at the end of the solo. Reminiscent of that harmony in Toccata and Fugue.
Another great one!!! Love to see you do something more daring...."Hit The Lights"😉
Thanks! Next Metallica solo will be from Kill 'Em All, but it's not Hit The Lights. Anyway I'm planning on posting a lot of Met solos
@@StephLeGratteux Great....Can't wait to see!!!!😀
A big thanks for all your lesson! you made a great job! \m/
Thanks!
Je comprends pas pourquoi je découvre ta page juste maintenant… les meandres de UA-cam
En tout cas c’est impressionnant le boulot qu’il faut pour sortir des solos comme ça bravo
Merci ! J'ai beaucoup de mal à comprendre comment marchent les référencements des fois...
Cool man! this is awesome, even just to watch without learning it, Excellent work!
Thank you!
Fun fact: if you speed up solo on 50% of speed, you will get solo with Kirk's vibratos
Great single Master 🙏
Tomorrow i see Iron Maiden live I will remenber you with Adrian Smith's solos 🙌
Thanks, have a great concert!
@@StephLeGratteux thanks great master 🙏
@@ironmeidencovers8802 how was the concert bro
I'm starting to learn this solo, I will tell you about my progression
so now I am able to play the whole solo at half speed
@@syer3789 what about now
@@Samford_ I can pretty much play it at real speed, but like 15% slower than the original (I play almost every day but sunday, were I let my finger rest)
@@syer3789 How about now? Can you play over the 90 % backing track?
How’s it going bro?
Thanks, i worked with your video for a month, I’m getting to it!
Nice! Glad it helped you!
The backing tracks sounds awesome man. You make that urself? doesn't sound like the album unless im mistaken.
Thanks! You're right, I make all the backing of the solos I cover
Awesome master 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks!
Awesome job. But damn you missed those two ‘wah wah’ attitude chords that he hits at the very end of the fast solo to finish it . I love that shit
Excelente solo de guitarra, siempre me gustó, lo aprenderé , gracias 🙂
Muchas gracias!
Excellent work
Thank you
Love this format 👌🏻
jeez this solo is a pain in the ass
lol
Wow man you played it 1000% the way i like ❤❤❤ that was a pleasure... thank you❤❤
Thanks!
Be practiced this one forever
Oh wow tu le joues hyper bien, excellent phrasé et c'est super propre. On part sur un abo
Bro I have so much respect for overall your cover but especially for playing two string arpeggios with sweeps!hey guys does anyone knows if Kirk plays them with sweeps?🤭
Thanks. I have no idea if Kirk plays it like that. When I first leant this solo many years ago, I didn't play the arpeggios with sweep. But when I re-learnt it with sweep, I realised it was actually easier to get the speed and a tight playing.
StephLeGratteux sweeps utilise economy of motion and that feeling like a knife through the batter I love it😀
Kirk doesnt sweep that section...
@@nathanp8240 hahahahah then one more time shame on him oh poor Kirk🤒
@@nathanp8240 wow, I thought you were crazy for this comment at first, but I went to fact check your ass….and you are right….I watched a few live videos and he’s alternating, not sweeping. Mind blowing.
Sencillamente perfecto. 100% REAL
Gracias!
0:35 I don’t know how to play that part that fast, can someone give tips
Hello! Practice slow and then gradually increase the speed using metronome, also angle the pick a bit, around 45 degrees. Hope you get it!
@@joaquinalonsoneyratello3894 thankyou!
@@joaquinalonsoneyratello3894thankyou, I’ll give it a try 😊
@@joaquinalonsoneyratello3894thanks 😊
Google economy picking. That helped me with increasing speed. First play scales with economy picking. Sweep picking Will help with movement of pick across all 6 strings. Always use a metronome, practice bends separately. When practicing scales spend most of the time at 50 to 75 percent of your current max speed.

Great Technique!
Thanks!
Does anyone else hear the Gravity Falls theme at 4:09 or am I the youngest person to remember that show😂
yup, your right
Hell yeah!!! Thank you!!!!
I dont know how good it was for you...
But im gonna need an after-sex cigarette after that.
And i dont even smoke.
But you, my friend, obviously do.
Thanks for making this video.
And all of your others.
Ah! When Kirk still played awesome solos...
Yeah, a long time ago...
Too bad no one’s done it better since
@@StephLeGratteuxadmit it you’d rather play this solo than whatever other solo you say is better…lol
what I find difficult about this solo and a lot of solos in general is muting the strings. can anyone share any tips and trick or share some sort of comprehensive guide when it comes to muting strings while soloing? it'd be greatly appreciated.
Palm muting. While you’re picking, put your palm on the strings you aren’t playing. If all else fails, try looking up a video on it
As pacaspascal6986 said, it's all in the palm muting. So your right hand need to be always very close to the strings
damn that sweep picking looks so hard... I think I'm gonna give it a try anyways :)
rien a dire, c'est Top !
Merci !
00:34
Wow!
havent touched my guitar for 8mths and Im thinking that I could wing this😂
Nice music 🎶
Thanks
Excelente lo tuyo amigo!!! De megadeth nada?
Gracias! I don't know... I don't listen much to Megadeth
💋🖤
This one is hard but I’m powering through gl all of you!
Imagine knowing that off by heart
There are harder pieces of classical music and folk memorise them. They memorise entire operas that are five hours long etc.
Just learn them in sections until it sinks in
Respekt big respect
2:45 i have had a bad time with this part, do you recommend something for this part ? Can't play it in the normal tempo
Play it with a metronome and slowly increase the speed
Es una subida extensa en notas y velocidad, debes practicar más
niiiice.....
thanks ;)
@@StephLeGratteux welcome my friend...cheers.
Fade to black
Sure!
Oh yeah
Dumb question, the last part is with sweepecking or alternate picking?
I play : up, pull-off, down, down. So there's a sweep from B string to E string.
And it's not a dumb question at all as the first way I learnt this part, I used to play : up, pull-off, up, down (so alternate picking between B and E string).
I changed the way to play it and now I use a sweep because I think it's much easier to play it fast that way and also the playing is tighter.
@@StephLeGratteux thx!
Просто супер
guitars name?
Where’s the backing track to this on your patreon?

How the sigma do I reach from 5 to nine 😭😭😭 my hands are too small for this or else I could’ve played this
Position your thumb in the middle of neck. That will help.
@@scottycunningham1413 that's it!
How hard would you say it is from 1 to 10?
Probably a 3 or 4
👍👍👍👍
👊 🎭
You can hear Adrian Smith’s influence in this solo...
When you only have 21 frets...
noice
Thanks
i started today, wish me luck
good luck ^^
okay update: i can play it 90% accurately at 50% speed
update: 90% accurately at 75% speed
@@raphaelkrait7655 nice
@@raphaelkrait7655did you manage to get it to 100%?

X2.0!!!!
Dick move starting 10 seconds after the start, I held my ear up to my phone speaker, it litterally deffend me in one ear for a few seconds.
Well that was a dumb thing to do.
Quand je vois le tapping au début .... ça sera sans moi ...
I thought it was harder
Impossible
I wouldn't say impossible. It's honestly not even hard.
I suck haha
wrong tab!!!
Where?
@@StephLeGratteux 0:33 before it goes to the other part. Originally kirk does hammer on and pull offs. So you played it wrong with the 22 22 19 19.
But anyways you fucking nailed it!👍
@@schimschi I don't know why I wrote it like that as it was much easier to play 22 pull-off 19 3 times in a row. Maybe a mistake when I wrote the tab and then I didn't re-listen to this part before practising. Anyway nobody plays these solos notes for notes :D
@@StephLeGratteux Exactly :)
You need more practice.
I know because I slowed it down.
