Iron Maiden - Total Eclipse Bass cover

[@tommynoisemusic]

bad ass tune, can't believe it didn't make the album. had the b side 12" single when i was 16, around 82, 83. this song sounds as fierce today as it did then. (r.i.p. Clive) up the irons! '

[@welshphantom8964]

Yeah, it was 82 and Run to the Hills was my first ever vinyl (got 7" and 12"), with this as the b-side. I was 13. I then searched out all the other 7" and 12" singles from before this and after (up until the cd era). Thanks for watching :)

Nicely played, I often play this song too on guitar, fun to play, feels like on a highway. Congratulation for the good job!

[@welshphantom8964]

Thank you very much for watching mate ;)

[@LessonLearnt101]

Wow lovely bass work didn't realise how complicated that piece was ya make it look easy

[@welshphantom8964]

Thank you mate :)

[@SanitysVoid]

Thanks for making Iron Maiden life easy. You can look for my cover of this Monday on Eclipse day LOL

[@welshphantom8964]

Glad to help :) Enjoy the eclipse... I love that sort of stuff. We had one a few years back and it was eerie ... all the birds went quiet and it got noticeably colder. Cloudy, but they parted and jut the right moment where I live in Wales. Looking forward to your cover :)

[@SanitysVoid]

Those turn around riffs in the verses and choruses are a pain in the ass to keep track of what one is used when LOL I had to write them down.

[@BassAri]

A rather simple song, but fun to play nonetheless ;) Good job

[@welshphantom8964]

Yeah, for an easy song I do enjoy playing this one for some reason. Thanks for watching mate ;)

Thank you very much for watching mate ;)

[@weeds283]

Nice !

[@welshphantom8964]

Thank you mate! ;)

[@CharliesMaidenCovers]

awesom bro, we should continue in our journey, are you working on powerslave?

[@welshphantom8964]

Thanks mate ) Yes, I have Powerslave and Rime worked out, but I had to stop playing for a few months due to a slipped disc. Should be fairly soon as I am playing again now! ;)

[@CharliesMaidenCovers]

wow, glad to hear you recovered well, cant wait for new covers;)

[@camisetarota134]

is it a fender?

[@welshphantom8964]

Yes, it is the Steve Harris Signature series Fender Precision. They do not make this bass anymore as they now do the White version (with slightly lower specs). Thanks for watching mate :)

[@fire1389]

Do you learn by ear

[@welshphantom8964]

Yes mate, always. I never trust tabs. They always seem to be inaccurate. Thanks for watching ;)

[@thesecretsuccsociety856]

Me too

[@danilozanata1673]

No punch at all

[@welshphantom8964]

+Danilo Zanata Thanks for the honest feedback, rather than like some people who just hit 'dislike' anonymously ;) To be fair, Harris uses new strings every day.....I can not afford that! :)

[@SanitysVoid]

I just love those few people who thumbs down with no explanation! And I hear some punch!
