One of the greatest songs of Maiden's golden era and you nailed every note. Wish I could play like that. I hate that they don't play gems like this live.

This song is one that you really need to warm up your hands up before attempting. If you are not properly warmed up your hand will cramp or and tendons will become stiffened. Steven never made his bass parts exceedingly hard, but his technique can take years to perfect. I know, I've been trying for 34 years now. LOL

The glory of Iron Maiden dwells in those bass notes, which add melancholy to their most kvltik songs BUT this magick song is 70% bass. Great cover by the way.

I love love love your bass. I've been trying to get one but all they have these days is his white signature P-bass with the West Ham crest on it, which is garbage. A heavy unplayable block. If anyone has an idea of how to get this beautiful blue Made in Japan version, please let me know.
@welshphantom89649 ай бұрын
Yeah I agree, the blue version has better hardware as well as looking nicer to me. The blue one brings back all my memories why I started learning bass in the first place. Best suggestion is to try ebay etc ;)

Hey Welsh man! Is any of that improvised? I noticed the choppy part at 3:17 was that intentional or a flub? Asking cause I am learning the whole song using your video.

Great reaction but you should listen to the song instead of cutting it off all the time. Bruce held 3 long notes and as a vocal coach you should have addressed them but you were more focused on how much you talk.👎

Hi Mario. Yeah I am all good thanks. I actually uploaded this a couple of years ago but didn't realise it was marked as private until yesterday ha ha. It was only to get gigs, so I just used to send the link to pubs etc. I intended to finish doing the Powerslave covers after my back healed, but never got around to it. I picked up my Steve Harris Bass last week for the first time in a couple of years and realised it needs a full set up. I have a version of Powerslave and Rime on my computer but the mix was off so I wanted to redo them. I had loads of songs to learn for a covers band and also a DIO tribute I was in so it got put on the back burner. Thanks for watching and I hope you are well :)
