The transition from Phantom of the Opera to The Trooper was so clean…

[@Shuhlyiautist]

My favourite IM songs: 1 Aces high. 2 Phantom of the opera. 3 Children of the damned. 4 The trooper. 5 Hallowed be thy name.

[@NoNameUwUxX]

Yasss Children of the damned!!! So underated

[@NoNameUwUxX]

Yasss Children of the damned!!! So underated

[@gustavosoares6685]

1 hallowed be thy name 2 quest for fire 3 infinite dream 4 aces high 5 judas be my god. So good.

[@shadowfurydono]

I love all these songs but none of em would make my personal top 5 1. Empire of the clouds 2. Rime of the ancient mariner 3. Fear of the dark 4. When the wild wind blows 5. Blood brothers

[@morko5150]

I love how this man shows both guitars while playing famous irons' harmonies

[@hannibalbarkas1350]

I really loved Iron Maiden back when I was 17 and started playing guitar because of them mostly. I stopped playing in my 20s and only recently in my early 30s started to really go at it again and cleaned up my whole technique and now I'm sitting here realizing I can play these riffs without any issues by practicing them a little.

[@KevinBalke]

Nice. Keep it up!

[@teaandcomics1]

I'm in exactly the same boat! Feels good to get back into it!

[@user-mk9pv7kc1d]

but why?

[@RahardiPratomo]

Exactly the same, I mostly do Vocals and rythm only in High School, cannot do the more complicated Guitar piece. Now I'm with 4 kids and finally buying my first electric guitar, gonna re-learn all the guitar pieces correctly. 🤭 My first Iron Maiden song was Be Quick or Be Dead, unfortunately not listed as one the greats. 🤣

[@Ghost_in_the_Rain]

The riff from Wasted Years was the first thing from Maiden I learned how to play, it's really easy to pick up!

[@memememeowww]

I love this video the Fear of The Dark intro is so beautiful

[@W1Kilo]

If you want to see it in an even more beautiful state, you should see the live version from Chile. Take about goosebumps and one hell of a crowd!

[@stevenslater4395]

Love this channel. Don't have to deal with dudes promoting products because they got it sent to them for free, and you're not just telling people stuff for followers. You've helped me a lot the last year!

[@KevinBalke]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@tohirunrun8550]

I love listening to this.. greetings one soul from Indonesia

[@Gbradwins]

~too good to stop now~ best part of the vid

[@zachlewis9751]

The trooper, the first song by Maiden I ever learned. And only, don’t mind me I’ve only been playing for two years.

[@k0slizard389]

It’s the only song you’ve learned?

[@zachlewis9751]

@@k0slizard389 the only Maiden song

[@StayMadLmfao]

Hallowed be thy name was always my favorite to play

[@houssememlaouhia3884]

it was great jamming with you XD

[@KevinBalke]

The pleasure is all mine!

[@nattyboyo2404]

By the way even if this was sped up (which I dont believe it is), who the fuck should care. He's not showing off skills. He's tabbed the fucking things for us to learn. Nice one dude 👍🏻🤘🏻

[@user-me8hy8ew4o]

I wish I could play one of those. Fear of the dark seems most realistic but still far away

[@KevinBalke]

Fear of the Dark's intro isn't too difficult or fast and was my first attempt at Iron Maiden back when I started playing guitar. I think i will do a beginner video for that.

[@romancarrillo514]

i watched these vids about 6 months ago thinking the same thing lol, i can now play 4/10 confidently You got this brotha!!!

[@deegegaming7911]

Yeah jusg set out some time to rake the out one measure at a time, you feel better if you get something to play quicker

[@KevinBalke]

By the way, there's a Fear of the Dark video on my channel now. Might be a good starting point to get into playing Iron Maiden (except the second solo of course, it's absurdly challenging).

[@Dcba964]

I swear you can....

[@metalheadcule]

Honorable Mention : Charlotte The Harlot

[@IsisMusic]

great. made my night

[@neilrobinson7615]

Great riffs well presented.

[@alexjohnston8889]

Good job, would love a part two with maybe some less known riffs, some album only tracks and some from the blaze era like maybe judgement of heaven, two worlds collide and lightning strikes twice.

[@paulinefollett3099]

Loved these songs.

[@patrickgimonnet1214]

nice tuto!! i'll learn it nooow!

[@mharclerode]

Nice- GREAT riffs!

[@panchobustamante9441]

Up the irons 🤘🏼

[@steelersnorth2914]

Very well done. To those who criticize please make your own video and post the link 😎🤟up the irons!

[@gregras2577]

Someone's always got to criticize Just the way it is

[@nattyboyo2404]

My favourites (in no order) : 1) Wasted years 2) Phantom of the opera 3) Trooper Which is yours?

[@KevinBalke]

Tough question. If I really had to choose, then Phantom of the Opera, Trooper and Iron Maiden would be my favs right now. But Hallowed Be Thy Name is also great.

[@nattyboyo2404]

@@KevinBalkeoh yeah hallowed is class!! Back in the village and be quick or be dead would be up there too. Tbh there are far too many to choose from!

[@majkel3455]

the evil that men do

[@neza8148]

Omg wasted years is my favourite too!

[@greighealey155]

That was savage!

[@neutron_audio]

Great Vid, Great Track!. PowerSlave 40th Anniversary in a few days! 🎸

[@cesararismendi44]

I can play any song speeding up the video too LMAO 😂😂

[@KevinBalke]

I think this looks sped up because I'm using downstrokes only to play Number of the Beast and Minutes to Midnight, for example. I did that because it sounds like they recorded it that way on the records. It's kinda fast, though not as fast as James Hetflied/Metallica downpicking standards. So I'm sure lots of people could do that with a bit of practice, nothing unusual here. Cheers!

[@enigma158an201]

well done, phantom of the opera is one my favourite song 🤘

[@streaky0995]

Nicely done! Thx for the effort!

[@E339608]

Love it thank you so much!!

[@eddieedward1986]

After i first played phantom of the opera on bass i hardly picked up a guitar since. Bass all the way for me.

[@REIRBL]

Excellent!👍👍👍👍

[@adamwarlock5286]

Who else jams these to best of the beast ? 😁👍👊

[@billymp3622]

4:57 (ignore, just trying to nail this part)

[@Leo_Safko]

Great, thanks!!

[@no2riousTHUG]

Phantom of the opera....🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@AedanBlackheart]

That was Awesome!

[@Skooma_Drinker]

Very good! Keep it up 🤟🏻

[@12343692]

Thanks🤩

[@alexschmitt3301]

I don't know why, but the hand move is just not natural, like it has been recorded slowy and accelerated ? so sad

[@mikev6498]

Its clearly sped up your right

[@KevinBalke]

I agree, the movements really do look strange. I think this has something to do with the cam's shutter speed and lighting.

[@christion97]

If you look at his left hand, you can see his shutterspeed is weird (smth like 15 fps) giving it stop motion vibes, this speed for downstrokes isnt too hard to get so I'd doubt he'd do this on purpose

[@ansan2353]

Такие быстрые движения правой руки , может повторить тот кто живет без женщины

[@zsaz4453]

Lol.these are riffs for mediocre player.if your hand dont goes fast i would say learn those riffs..🙄

[@trasakas]

with love i encourage you to work your vibrato on bending.great video. subscribed

[@fenderfender4421]

Fear of a dark respect)))) All respect songs

[@darksideofthemoon2140]

Agregaría Dance Of Death, Ghost Of Navigator, El Dorado y The Clansman

[@gabrielanapolitakis5573]

Hell on earth, when the Wilfrido winds blows.

[@brianerrington6982]

My wildest fantasy to pull of what I just heard

[@KevinBalke]

It can come true with a bit of practice. :)

[@LogicPhalanx]

Where do you get your backing tracks? I find it hard to play stuff if I don’t have a backing track, plus it’s kind of dull without

[@thefilthyswede]

Ghost of the navigatorrrrr

[@Alejandrotontes77]

Okay 👍🏻

[@shelbylover1359]

Where eagles dare is also a good riff

[@scriblical]

Excellent! Just work on those bends.

that number of the beast riff comes in on a pick-up; not on beat one.

[@ilhanburak3590]

fear of the dark >>>>>

[@federicoquattrociocchi]

4:38

[@michaeldean7220]

I'm a relative novice and by far the easiest riff is Flash of the Blade. All on the D string

[@Sebastian_Mroczek]

In TNoTB do you use your pink in power chords to mute the low E with the middle finger? :D

[@KevinBalke]

Yes correct, I mute the E with the middle finger in this case.

[@igorwarszawa7691]

What about Afraight to shoot strangers and wasting love? :)

How is number of the beast on here

WHERES MY 2 MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT

Any Be Quick Or Be Dead fans here???

Is this sped up or has it been filmed on a potato?

You obviously weren't playing run to the hills?

OOH DELETE HALLOWED BE THY NAME
