Awesome cover.....do "can I play with madness" next its my fav 😁

[@vas729]

Somewhere In Time for sure! Excellent job with this one! Looking forward to more!

[@TimTheTowman]

I love it when you do these great old songs! Nailed it! Give us some Queensryche!

[@raineropi]

Hört sich richtig klasse an..super timing👍

[@asmrcharlie4605]

The timing is deceptively tricky in this song - Your timing is impeccable…especially on Adrian’s solo and coming back into the rhythm - sick.

[@asmrcharlie4605]

@@Dominicolous ?

[@ryananthony4840]

Right!

[@hummerman62]

Brilliant, that Solo, effortlessly on time

[@dektrimusic]

well noted. I did a cover of this song recently, and the passages are super weird, it seems simple, but it's not

[@jjcakejj]

One of the best live performances of the guitar parts, your fingers during both solos don't lie. Note for note perfection.!

[@Dobie_ByTor]

Your technique is so relaxed and such a pleasure. Beautiful work on the timing in/out of the solos. The subtle hammers/pulls in the chorus really give the chords dimension and flare. Well done!

[@larswallin9202]

As a longtime maiden fan -81ish, killer album, first of all its wonderful you chose an old time favourite song 🤘 second the execution, its just wonderful

[@nuHcTpauJl]

Thank you Sophie! I’ve dropped my guitar practicing 5 years ago. And now your incredible playing inspire me to start all over again.

[@kaseysrockchannel]

this person has covered every major guitar cover they could and look how its legitimately paid off. thanks for giving us faith

[@KaiPonte]

This is so cool! The younger crowd enjoying old people's music!!

[@marceloabelenda]

Old people? Are you even a Human? 🤌

[@KaiPonte]

@@marceloabelenda according to my 19-year-old Iron Maiden loving son, I am “older than dirt.”

[@marceloabelenda]

@@KaiPonte 😅🤣

[@juda8054]

Who you calling old?!😡😁

[@canuckeh782]

Thats how i learned it alternate picking really cool when you figure out the timing

[@DPcar-mania-65]

Fantastic stuff ! Great playing ! I've followed Iron Maiden since 1980. Got all their albums, everyone a gem & unique.

[@sc_w_x1]

Brilliant as usual. You never show and it's not written on your face how it is hard to play. This is what i love in you.

[@DarkFire515]

I've listened to NoTB literally thousands of times since the day it was released. Don't think I've heard a better guitar cover than yours. Outstanding!

[@FrankNitty-007]

Thanks!

[@tobytheplatypus]

makes it look effortless on a GORGEOUS guitar. 10/10

[@lelandcheng7390]

Sophie, do you realize this song came out in 1982, 42(!) years ago?? You were a mere twinkle in your parents' eyes. Once again your guitar skills are amazing, and your choice of music brings me back to my high school and college days. Keep it up!

[@toanthai]

Great cover! Saw them in Philadelphia 1986. It was an amazing concert!

[@guitarzen7080]

You really captured the fluid nature of these solos - so relaxed. Like butter! Nice Sophie

[@RodrigoPrestes]

Ohhh perfect congratulations I grew up listening to Iron Maiden I have them all on vinyl

[@ronmyers1743]

I have been an Iron Maiden fan since the mid 80’s. I have a lot of there guitar solos memorized, since that was usually my favorite part of the song. You nailed it better than anyone else I’ve seen!! Looking forward to hearing more from you!

[@the_releaser]

One of my most favourite Iron Maiden songs played by one of my most favourite guitar maidens 😍 Edit. Your Adrian Smith solo sounded much more tastier because of your awesome vibrato technique.

[@alanbarryhesker]

Kid, you are amazing. I love listening to your stuff. There are a lot of people out there who play guitar. Not many people who play music. Stone cold badass.

[@yayuk_yuki]

I really like Sophie Burrell's guitar style, Sophie is really great

[@martinponsford2164]

Just blown away - all of your covers just reduces me to an utter head banger enjoyment - just so cool!!!

[@juanmanu9652]

Fantastic rendition of a classic. Intonation is spot on. Chapeau !!

[@Biren-n4d]

This month im extremely lonely...need someone to heal as this noisy n stuff will kill my depression, im blessed to found ur channel friend 💞

[@steveswanson9488]

Great job Sophie! I’m teaching this song to one of my students. And you just nailed it! 🤘👍

[@johnelstun2010]

You truly rock, Sophie Burrell! Nicely done, on this cover

[@mikehipps1015]

Sophie plays on of the most iconic riffs with a cool grin. Up the Irons!!!

[@dalewinters2751]

Can't stop listening to your version. Wow. Keep on killing it Sophie

[@DravekMusic]

Old but gold!🤘 Nice playing as always!

[@assassinNXL13]

I’m absolutely loving this so so much. This solo was done absolutely perfectly too! That lil trill down at 2:35 is TRICKY but as always you aced it 🔥🙌🏽✨

[@thomasgray7128]

I love Number of the Beast!! You nailed it of course Sophie!! Great work again!!! Amazing job!! Seen Maiden on the Power Slave tour!!! I was 19 at the time!! Incredible show !!! Great song to cover!!!😁👍👍🤘🤘❤️❤️

[@DRFHM]

I got to drink. I really don't know what to do with too much strength except survive. And smoke sometimes for extra fun once in awhile.

[@metalinsights9664]

For anyone learning how to play this song, here are a few things that I've picked up over the years that are subtle, but are going to help you get the feel and vibe of the original. In the intro, Dave Murray is using all downstrokes (which can be seen in the "The Number of the Beast" video). He also has some sort of effect on the intro, which is either a flanger or a Phase 90. Since I know he is a big user of the Phase 90, it's probably a Phase 90 on a slow setting. Similarly, the verses are also all downstrokes with lots of palm muting of the root notes in each power chord, which has more energy than simple strumming or alternate picking. In the section where the chords are D, F, G, A#, C, the F and G are major chords but played without a bar ( basically, the same as a barre chord, but with the index finger playing only the first two strings, and with the thumb wrapped around the neck). And lastly, the D and C chords where Bruce does the big scream in the beginning are some kind of combination chords where more than just the three power chord strings ring out.The sound on the original recording sounds a bit accordion like, which is due to a slight chorusing effect due to the fact that each guitar was double tracked (each performance was recorded twice). To me, it sounds like Martin Birch panned the second performance to the opposite side for each guitarist. The same overall sound could be achieved with a little bit of chorus in the chain, but it has to be very, very minimal, to mimic the sound of two very tight performances, but without sounding chorus-ey, if that makes sense.

[@fizzyquispel337]

You make this song seem so easy to play, while it is way more difficult than it looks. Well done!

[@frankkunert65]

Fantastic cover of my favourite iron maiden song, thank you very much. keep on rockig. Greatings from germany .👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@golfnut4247]

Your playing is just effortless, you are definitely one of the best guitarists I've seen on the tube. You have huge potential so keep at it.

[@nitaindria5283]

Sophie is really great, I was immediately given a tutorial on how to play the guitar with this song, even though it was brief

[@davidwillis1617]

I loved your cover Sophie so I checked out your sub page. I noticed you had cover of Hold the Line and watched it. Outstanding! It's an old favorite of mine and you reenergized my appreciation of it. The way you injected extra fire into Lukes solo was awesome. I going to have figure out your awesome take on the solo.

[@aidaneckart5054]

Love Maiden!! You killed it!

[@aloysius6937]

Beautiful you make it look so easy Sophie!!

[@davidallen3162]

As always Sophie, another fantastic performance. Thanks for bringing back memories from my younger days.

[@ischi8368]

Thank you for this cover! This inspired me to try to play it myself using alternate picking. I couldn't even get remotely near the original speed using all downstrokes. With alternate picking it works much better for me. Also it is a really nice excercise.

[@canuckeh782]

Most people down pick this intro I alternate pick like her because it is easier strumming but the timing is tricky .

[@richinderbyshire4779]

Glad youve recovered from the illness. Youve nailed the NoTB tone.

[@jasoncherry4221]

your tone is always huge.keep em coming love your playing

[@apgit9575]

Awesome Sophia! You made it look so easy. I always thought that the Riffs in this song are quite difficult

[@phil4986]

I just like that you actually enjoy the song you are playing. You nailed this one right to the wall,Keep up the great videos.

[@bobschultz1159]

Ms Sophie..been waiting for that! Old Maiden guitar work all Rocks! You shine very bright w your guitar skills. Thank you

Boa tarde!! Belo som Sophia parabéns!! Uma pergunta quais os captadores você usa nessa guitarra?? gostei deles!!

[@tomg204]

Great song to jam to! I remember this song being so scary to me as youngster many many years ago, reminding me of movies like The Omen and The Exorcist. Still Life from Piece of Mind was scary too.

[@baz5806]

Sophie is so talented..! If you're not in a band you should be!! Absolutely nailed this track, it sounds more energetic than the original to me!

[@JD-fd6gt]

You scare me, playing one of my favorite songs while wearing a Ride the Lightning T-shirt - also one of my favorite songs... *shiver*

[@nickpruett8022]

Excellent prep for this video and playing was spot on….your timing is next level. Good work.

[@jaimebenavides1960]

woooooo¡ thanks for your energy. You have given me immense happiness to see how you play this beautiful song. I plan to play the guitar again. Thanks again for the inspiration.

[@shaunion1279]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@thehouseofronin9209]

Killer cover Sophie! You sound better than the original and you're a sight prettier to behold than any of the "Maiden" crew! 🤘😎🤘

[@brianzaikowski3701]

Just discovered you today. Instantly subscribed. You’re a talented musician and a talented presenter. I like how you described your set up and the comparison between standard tone and your processed tone. The overall quality of the video is fantastic as well. You’re clearly very talented in many areas. I admire people who live life on purpose!

I melt when she looks at the camera and smiles after a tasty riff.
