Iron Maiden, The Duellists, Bass Cover

[@SUKOCONANUNGMETAL]

Great...Amazing!!🤘🤘👍👍

[@christschinwon]

All too often I'm STOP GETTING MAIDEN WRONG' but not here! Homework well and truely done with perfect execution. Awesome job

[@matheusisrael1624]

2:14 perfect

[@SpectorEuro4]

That 2 finger technique is extremely hard to do. I'm always left in awe when I see covers like this. I'm still practicing to get to that speed

[@agenorjuniorrr]

8 yrs later im re-watching this video, and still the best cover of yt. Hails from Brazil.

[@jasonparmelee1142]

Dude!!! That was amazing!! Phenomenal! That song takes so much stamina to play. And then, it kicks higher! Always loved the bass in that song, you nailed. Great tone too! Thanks for posting!🤙🏼 absolutely floored!🎸🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks man! :) I think I recorded it using a bass pod XT on the Hiwatt model.

[@TasosChrisovitsanos]

I think that this cover is one of the best in youtube.... You are amazing!!!! Something else..... I think that you know you are look like Paul Giamatti!!!!

[@FrancescoPirrone]

2.30....that stare in the camera..... "yeah, I nailed it, and it IS actually recording" 🤘 That whole tricky bit from minute 1.50 is one of the most challenging bass lines that I've come across in Maiden discography

[@Doc40Hz]

Haha! You're probably quite right :) This is a tough tune to play, but I find Somewhere in Time far harder! I need a new hand after playing that these days!

[@FrancescoPirrone]

@@Doc40Hz Oh yeah that one is impossible as well XD I can't really say because I gallop my own way (i.e. if I'm tired or the song is too fast I'll just use 3 fingers) but yeah, totally, I guess Caught Somewhere In Time is very tough.... I personally tend to find all the 6/8s like this one and Genghis Khan particularly hard

[@drymant]

That's outstanding, man. I didn't know whether to watch your left hand or right hand. It absolutely relentless for both. Great job!

[@ABRaingutters]

Right on dude. I love playing this one too. It's a great work out!

[@PAULODVDRW]

7 deslike no cara? Aquela historia..... a inveja mata kkkk Cara toca muito!

[@samfigueiredo3601]

O único Bass cover dessa música com a linha e a velocidade correta do Steve

[@RavenLynne2010]

This the second one by far that I see putting in the high effort with the notes and chords that shred!

[@johnm.5774]

Man, you are AWESOME! I always love jamming this song with my friend. You played the bass parts so accurately and well. Really enjoyed this one. And I think you inspired me to record my own Duellists cover.

[@garrettgazeley6756]

How does this not have more likes? Amazing job my man.

[@RON4RC]

well done man..... a pleasure to watch;;; wow i must say one of my favors and one of steve's best tight on the for arm mid way through....nice.

[@Julian-AJCP]

One of the hardest Maiden Songs to play on bass and you nailed it. Perfect cover!

[@xyloplax]

I've listened to this song since it was released and you revealed parts and complexity to me I didn't even know existed, and I have a very musical ear. Thank you!

[@nickyfont347]

Congratulations! This is really a good cover, well done. I think many covers of iron maiden are bad because people are based on inaccurate tabs and do not use their ears, I think you do.

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks! I've tended to learn most things by ear. Back when I was a kid, tab books were expensive! And there were not really any Maiden ones around!

[@nickyfont347]

it was the same for me, no tabs, expensive books, good ear!

[@sergiozavo]

Amazing performance! Great bassist!

[@ranamaxxxx]

excellent work!!! The speed and pressure is grounded in a theme of maiden like this. Congrats brother

[@leethomas255]

Brilliant cover Doc, crisp, precise paying with feeling, I can't believe 2 people didn't like this - the cads

[@michaelspark6756]

WOW 🤩 I have been trying to find a brilliant cover for this and there you are. Can you pleeeeeease tell me the fingerings for the solo bit ie is it all plucking or is there a hammer on and pull off in there? This is the most precise I’ve seen it played 🇬🇧 fan plus we’ve started a maiden cover band 😆

[@emilioantunespereira6599]

That's an excelent cover. The Man is such a bass player

[@juliusmazepin1971]

such a great song!!! such a great job!!!

[@MarcoAntonio-ns7xd]

Hi, I'm Marco... I'm from Brazil... I like your cover... You're amazing!

[@kalillage]

Sensacional!!

[@Black_Fox_OZ3]

I just have only one word, GREAT!!

[@Doc40Hz]

Cheers John, it's a great bass line isn't it? Looking forward to hearing your version :)

[@marioponcedeleon95]

awesome btw you are very precise

[@lordofmorning]

Thank you for this, I was just telling @katdbass how it's 5AM here and I can't stop watching your work for inspiration. Is there a strict fingering pattern in your technique, like 112 112 (or 221 221) ?

[@Fran666]

Man, that was just... perfect! Best cover around here, no doubt about that. The sound was great too. And you facing the camera like "this is too easy for me modafakas..." xDDDD Greeeeeaaaaaaaaaat job!!

[@Doc40Hz]

Cheers man, spent too long in my teenage years copying Steve!

[@ivandominguez2722]

Absolutamente apabullante woww

[@Doc40Hz]

Thanks :)

[@danbrown3142]

right on !!! keep it up for what ever reason makes you happy !!!

[@nkoulieris]

My word, that's an excellent cover! I can't really image somebody disliked it!?

[@Doc40Hz]

Cheers man :)

[@leethomas255]

I fully agree, appart from your replies to technical / musical questions, which is rare on you tube, and shows how much of a gent you are, your fingering is so clean and precise, fantastic to listen to. Even as a bassist of 26 years, I ,loved learning Steves notes and playing along with your vid. It just goes to show there's always lots to learn! More videos please

[@MrI95117074]

Awesome cover!!! You nailed it!!!

[@vinsbmx]

Beast!!! amazing job

[@business.as.usuall1441]

flawless! keep them coming!

[@thenamesdicky]

I have the same bass.... wish I could play it like you do,

[@cucciolorso76]

Great sound & groove !! well done mate!

[@ucarvalhojunior7180]

Você é foda irmão, viajo nessa faixa do Iron principalmente na parte do contra baixo 3:39

[@fugfar]

just noticing yer vids here, really good stuff, lately 'the duelists' has been my go to jam off powerslave, especially if i gotta drive for awhile. super sweet lead stretch. just wanna comment on yer rhythm, f*ckin flawless. plz go hd, and increase the vol. on yer vids

[@ElevatedLevetator]

excellent cover. Didnt realize it was that complex. Steve harris is a fucking genius

[@immanuelrohy]

Played that solo like a boss!

[@gingaleanda]

Well done! Harris is a beast!

[@nykterion7]

You have my respect bro!

[@davidcarrillo9013]

Wow you are amazing greetings from mexico 🤘🏼

[@angelbazan3234]

exelente video ,emocionante amigo!!

[@Andrea-if5tp]

amazing cover!! nice job!!

[@lordharry423]

I cant believe he doesnt fuck up given that he changes fingering and is indecisive about which finger he will use

[@juanjocollantes]

LEO QUAN BADASS II bridge??? AWESOME COVER :)!

[@gregorioabrego]

You coul easily fill in for Steve at a gig. Neat playing.

[@GabrielRodrigues-sz7sq]

Amazing!

[@mariocabrera4513]

I love it!

[@jakubszatkowski8072]

Really great tone. How long have you been playing bass guitar?

[@shawnmurphy2223]

Another guy with the "floating thumb" technique. Got to try this soon.

[@chadcalder5006]

holy shit. if you're ever in New Orleans, I'm going to buy you a beer. the cheek scratch at 3:36 might as well have been a cartwheel.

[@danielefedonmez6513]

[@carrizomaster]

[@liberatetutemeexinferis5902]

My left hand fingers end up in knots when I play that part at 1:50.

[@SrWhite-tv2lv]

Ufff se ve muy díficil

[@robbeijer15]

If iron maids need a replacement, I will recommend you

[@baptistetrumeau5123]

Loudness sound and sorry but I'm not sure I can hear your bass or the equalized song...

[@valeriotagliaferri2125]

I am glad to see a good Maiden cover WITHOUT a signature bass, thank you very much.

[@giacomorinaldi]

hello mr chris, i love your cover, can you help me in 2.20 minutes and in 1:51 ? i thinks that for you it is easy, thanks a lot

[@Doc40Hz]

+Giacomo Rinaldi From 1:51 its all the same pattern, just move about the neck. E, A, B, E, B, A x 2 - D, G, A, D, A, G etc. 7th fret on the A String, 7th and 9 on the D strings, 9 on the G string, 9 and 7 no the D string; I hope that makes sense!

[@Doc40Hz]

+Giacomo Rinaldi The run at 2:20 notes; B C D C B G, Fsharp, G A G FSharp

[@giacomorinaldi]

thanks for all

[@giacomorinaldi]

thanks .. but the arpeggio at witch fret ? it's impossible the D arpeggios and B arpeggios at 5 fret A string and 2 fret A string.

[@Metalistopheles]

You are absolutely right !
