When I was 16/17 I played the songs from the first seven Iron Maiden's albums 4/5 days a week, and I can say that the songs from this album are a tour de force for every rock bass players! In my own Caught somewhere in time is the most difficoult of Maiden's songs: You must have two iron arms! You've got an impressive work on this song! Great sound, great feeling, perfect tecnique! It's too hard to play Caught somewhere in time at this level, and You do It! Hands down! Greetings from Italy!

Thank you ;) And I did the same when I was young. After school I played along with the whole album in front of my mirror ;) Practice makes permanent ! DG
My favorite Iron Maiden album ! I wish i could travel back in the 80s and watch blade runner at the cinema... then walk down acacia avenue next to Eddie.What an album cover guys ! Sorry i did no comment about the bass playing, i was caught somewhere and totally forgot about it ! Sometimes i cant really tell if you use 2 or 3 fingers for the gallop, its probably cause you re so relaxed and ring finger just goes with the flow :)

Cheers. I explain mine and Steve's technique here: ua-cam.com/video/xQVICegjeII/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/_QlThRDePK8/v-deo.html
This will be my new practice warmup routine...thx for the inspiration. Forgot about this tune and watching you pluck it out makes me want to put it in my tool belt brother!
Look at the right hand, damn! The Stamina for this song is insane I love your videos and your teaching lessons about Mr. Harris style Thanks again for it 😎
The trick is to totally relax the arm and literally 'feather' play the strings rather than pluck, I don't know what Harris uses but I did a fest with him on the bill a couple of years ago and Im pretty sure he used some sort of oil on his hands, could be wrong but from what I saw walking up to the stage with him .............
Your quite the tour de force . I sometimes wonder if Steve Harris has ever watched and maybe commented under a different incognito moniker. Probably not I guess we will never really know . I definitely feels he will know who you are . Even if you knew yourself being the person you are . You would never say . Excellent as always .

Hey! Thanks for your good words. I wonder too if Steve ever knows that I exist, I bet he does. Anyway, I was touched by your consideration. DG
Nice one Didier, once again was great to hear the bass line so prominent. keep it up fella, starting to prefer listening to you rather than the originals as I can hear the bass line so clearly, mister Harris would be proud of you my son.
5 років тому
Cheers mate ! I really do appreciate your compliment. ;) Take care. DG
Timing is little off, at some spots. This kind of songs are why many players think IM basslines are "easy" to play, just learning how to gallop.. Yeah sure 😜👍 Great work tho 🤘🤘🤘
Wow. That is absolutely awesome. This was the first Iron Maiden Song I ever heard, and till this Day it's one of my absolute Favorites. Thank you so much for this beautiful and badass Cover. I hope you do Alexander the Great one day

Hey, thanks a lot. My first IM song was "Killers" and the intro gave me the virus of heavy-metal bass. My next cover will soon be "revelations".
Awesome! The whole video. But the playing in particular. You have managed to bring the original excitement in the manner of Steve Harris himself.👍 Although..the notes are only 90% accurate. I have been doing some serious work myself transcribing some Maiden songs recently which lead me to isolated tracks and really only then one can really hear all the notes right. Why am I saying this..because your interpretation is marvelous and it deserves to be flawless. There are some interesting moment when he chooses different lines to guitars and it's a real treat. Once aganin, I had a great time watching. I'll look up more of your stuff and share.

Thank you very much for your message and appreciation. I know some notes might be hard to figure out, especially with two guitars on the same notes... anyway, I did my best at that time. Cheers ;)
Very good !!, make video playing the song Speed of Light of Iron Maiden !!!!! Please if you can.
5 років тому+3
Thank you. Unfortunately, I quit listening to the band after "7th Son". All they did afterwards has very little interest to me, I'm sorry. I won't cover this very song. Up the irons anyway ! :)
Awesome job! I'm fan of your work! I would love to play like you. There's any way that a can get your bass tabs?
3 роки тому+1
Hey Ruben, thank you ;) I don't use tabs, only my ear or real notes. I made two tutorials to explain Steve's technique: ua-cam.com/video/_QlThRDePK8/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/xQVICegjeII/v-deo.html
Hey I use two fingers and very rarely 3. I explain everything in my tutorials: ua-cam.com/video/xQVICegjeII/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/_QlThRDePK8/v-deo.html
Where is Alexander the Great? I love, LOVE your covers x333 I'll start submitting my own pretty soon and my first job is going to be the full Seventh Son of a Seventh Son album \m/ I hope everything goes well jeje ;) Greetings from Mexico, amigo!

Hey, I'm looking forward to viewing your covers Mate ! I subscribed with all notifications to your channel! DG
@ Wow! Thank you so much! I am gathering my equipment now, just waiting for my headphones to arrive, monitors and a few accessories to complete my vision. Most likely, I'll use another channel and account, but I'll let you know for sure. Keep on rocking, man!!!
I'll never understand how Harris gets sole writing credit on some of these songs, what with all the complex guitar stuff going on.
4 роки тому
Perhaps he composed every part of them and showed them to the others, same with the vocal lines. I do that with my band. I write every single note and the others are just performers. DG ua-cam.com/video/HwhE3R9Pctc/v-deo.html
I once read that Steve composed many of his songs on his acoustic guitar in addition to the bass. Of course I don't know if that's really true - but I can imagine.
He writes all parts chords riffs etc if he is the sole writing credit....only part he doesn't write is the solos. Read an interview where he said that.
What eq settings do you use for this on the fender rumble? High high mid low mid low. Gain.

Hey, I explain everything in my live seminar (in French) ua-cam.com/video/yDyvd_DbfBE/v-deo.html or beneath many videos. An the gear I use is available here: www.didiergerome.com/my-gear In short I don't use my rumble for my videos, my bass is directly injected into the computer. DG
Makes me appreciate Steve's brand of playing so, so much more. My right hand gets exhausted just watching.
😂 Same!! 😂
Not as hard as u think. I have short hotdog fingers and can play this and the trooper note for note. Its finger timing rather than having fast fingers
Insane gallop speed and endurance, great cover
Thanks ;)
The best cover of the best Maiden song.
Cheers

Ace playing my friend. Maiden can call you if Harris needs a night off. Amazing...
This song is fast and very, very physically demanding. Ive tried
Thank you ;)
holy shit man. . . I dont think people understand how difficult it is to play that gallop rythem with your fingers for so long. . . damn good job man
Thank you so much ;)
Proof that steve harris is the greatest living bass player
My fingers are bleeding just for watching it !!!
Awesome!!!
Cheers 🤩
I just wanted to say the same thing :) I can't play it without mistakes even with a pick :)
In all honesty, Metallica’s Master of Puppets is impressive when down picked for the entire song on guitar.
This is much more, awesome job
I'm a guitarist trying to learn finger style. Thanks for the instructional vid on Steve's 2 fingers!
My pleasure ;)
My hands hurt even watching this! Well done
Cheers ;)
Yeah, very good. Imagine doing this for a full live gig, night after night. Great sound, too 🤘🏼😉🤘🏼
3:27 ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh raging bass line and I am pedaling on my imaginary double-bass.
plucking fantastic!
Cheers ;)
I know this album received a lot of attention but it's still underated in my world. Great cover!
3:49 love the picture of dave 😂
Dude !!! Way, way , way off ! You're an amazing player, please do this again.
Cheers mate ;)
This will be my new practice warmup routine...thx for the inspiration. Forgot about this tune and watching you pluck it out makes me want to put it in my tool belt brother!
Cheers, I'm glad you enjoy it that much ;)
This song is so underrated
James Wilson the whole album is
Damn! He plays exactly like Steve Harris himself does. It's awesome!
Cheers mate ;)
Nice!
Steve was a genius
This dude is marvelous I tell you.
Simply Perfect
Thanks ;)
Great cover.
Cheers ;)
Look at the right hand, damn!
The Stamina for this song is insane
I love your videos and your teaching lessons about Mr. Harris style
Thanks again for it 😎
Thank YOU ;)

Real awsome!!!! Thanks Mr. Fender, Mr. Harris and Mr. DG
I then thank you thrice ;)

Timing is little off, at some spots. This kind of songs are why many players think IM basslines are "easy" to play, just learning how to gallop.. Yeah sure 😜👍 Great work tho 🤘🤘🤘

tres bien mon ami, you fly on the maple fretboard, and on the mirror pickguard...!!!
Thank you ;)
Great!
Awesome job! I'm fan of your work! I would love to play like you.
There's any way that a can get your bass tabs?
Hey Ruben, thank you ;)
I don't use tabs, only my ear or real notes.
I made two tutorials to explain Steve's technique: ua-cam.com/video/_QlThRDePK8/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/xQVICegjeII/v-deo.html
Fucking savage playing brother 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Cheers ;)
Now that's endurance... I can play this but not the entire song, my arm grows tired.
Hey, what bass do you have? And what kind of bass do you recommend is best to purchase and play iron maiden songs?
Hey, Steve's signature model, now discontinued. A regular precision bass well tuned and settled is perfect.
Up the irons!
What is the hardest maiden song to play on bass in your opinion? This one definitely sounds like one of the hardest ones.
I this this one is the one that requires the most stamina.
@ how you build that stamina? Any tips for "burning" forearm?
My Christmas present arrived 3 days early......
Cheers mate:)
Excelente interpretacion saludos...
Did you play it with a logical sequence of fingers? Example: 1,2 1,2 at the bar or just play the notes with the fingers randomly?
Hey. I explain everything in this video : ua-cam.com/video/xQVICegjeII/v-deo.html&ab_channel=DidierG%C3%89R%C3%94ME
@ thank you! You are inspiring me to play like Steve. It's like a dream come true! Awesome job. Congratulations!
Damn! Its like watching mr steve Harris
Are you playing with two fingers or three?
Hey I use two fingers and very rarely 3. I explain everything in my tutorials:
ua-cam.com/video/xQVICegjeII/v-deo.html

@@durhamviking1809 Yeah that is correct. Obviously the guitar solos are written by guitar players, but other than that it's Steve's artwork.
In the fast parts you use 3 fingers or 2 fingers only? I really like this song and I want to learn it the proper way.
Hey, I sometimes use 3 fingers but mostly two.
@ Hard to believe. Ringfingers lack strength and stamina. Not even La Harris plays with three fingers.
What eq settings do you use for this on the fender rumble? High high mid low mid low. Gain.
