The Clairvoyant (Bass Only) [Studio Version]

Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son - The Clairvoyant
| Original master (isolated) bass track from the The Clairvoyant song. Enjoy and learn from the master Steve Harris. \m/

[@theshop9486]

Please keep in mind Steve wrote almost every Iron maiden song. Lyrics and all. Do your research this guy is the man and the real reason I became a bass player.

[@JosephHarris_]

it's the same for me \m/

[@gvbarbosa78]

We are togheter!

[@MMAoracle]

william warstrike that's an exaggeration, but he wrote a lot/the majority (depending on the album). In fact, on the newer albums most of the music is Adrian's, and steve arranges it, and bruce/steve add some melodies and lyrics.

[@RetroMusicTube]

X2

[@johnnyterminator2004]

His playing is real, not touched up flawless in the studio. The fact that you can hear fret buzzing and notes not hit as hard makes it great. 100%

[@SanitysVoid]

It's Harris. Any fool can hear it in the intro.

[@FernandoCastillo-og7ze]

Exactly

[@BIGDUCKQUACK]

How can someone dislike this??

[@clansmanscotland1592]

Idiots.

[@awesomenessgaming8661]

One of the bass gods of this lifetime. If Cliff Burton was still alive, I'd sell everything I own just to buy tickets to see Cliff and Steve together in concert. Steve Harris is pure, fucking, genius. Plain and simple.

[@charliegrs]

No, no, no. This is 100% Steve Harris. He plays for real, not through some pro tools bullshit. He plays hard and fast, and theres lot of percussion in the way he plays. Its raw and real.

[@na-tv6rn]

@Michael Leicht That "buzz" is Harry's sound. He absolutely bashes those strings and plays with low action on the neck. The snapping of his strings on the fretboard is Maiden's backbone. It's greasy, it's dirty, it's fast and it's beautiful.

[@Koosy77]

He doesn't hit the strings very hard, he just has raised pickups, a lot of headroom, and hits the strings with his finger tip percussively. Much like slapping, it's all about control and technique, not hitting the strings hard.

[@AndreSpiteri]

Serob77 actually much of that clickiness is inherent in jazz pickups. Try playing fast on a jazz bass and you'll get that clickiness without even trying.

[@carpy1970]

He's talked about this in interviews multiple times. He plays very lightly with very tip of his fingers. I have his signature stings on my SH signature bass and can attest that you don't have to hit the strings hard at all. Andre Spiteri - he doesn't use jazz pickups, he has his own signature P-Bass pickups.

[@Disciple0fMetal]

Been a huge maiden fan for many many years, have all their albums, have listened to every live record, have been to many shows. This IS harris. If you have doubts you probably aren't too familiar with maiden or steve's sound. Go home and do some homework.

[@couchslouch13]

listening to these bass tracks you can really hear just how important Steve is in the band - you can play any bass track and tell what song it is straight away since he plays both the rhythm and lead parts

[@hex1233]

One of my favorite performances from Harris

[@gregorhamilton3787]

It like big Steve has 12 fingers on each hand

[@gregorhamilton3787]

***** Well analysed

[@LucianoClassicalGuitar]

You have obviously never heard of a classical bassist.

[@danieloneill9597]

When Steve Harris enters the Kingdom of Heaven (a long, long time from now) and passes though the Pearly gates. Peter will stop him in his tracks, hand him his bass and he will say..."God has been waiting for you...He can't figure out the bass solo in Phantom of the Opera...He swears you have twelve fingers"

[@TheGrimReaper54321]

+Daniel O'Neill false, Steve Harris is God.

Pazzesco, Steve Harris è un grande!!!

[@sergiodambrosio363]

Sono completamente d'accordo su questo! Al 100%! Harris è stato, fin da quando iniziai a suonare il basso (nell'86), il bassista che più mi ha influenzato e uno dei miei tre preferiti (in caso dovessi sceglierne tre).

[@rubencastro8243]

MAESTRO DE MAESTROS

[@thegoverner100]

It sounds so painful my arms killing me listing to it. I love iron maiden and bass

[@ron_43]

Harris Genius!

[@SilhouetteSky]

I just said the same thing to my friend tonight about the sustain....freaking sick amazing.

[@chrislanzi9583]

Damn, a lot of people here don't realize musicians make mistakes.

[@highlanderlk9867]

or "raw" tracks dosen't have noises, noise is steve harris mark ;-;

[@thomasp3218]

Where is the mistake here?

[@chrislanzi9583]

It's up Mianus

[@SanitysVoid]

Tom Tom No mistakes it's the inconsistencies of playing with fingers.

[@mirak63]

@@thomasp3218 there are some like at 3:10 but it doesn't matter because the overall pulse is perfect and you will not wreck the whole band with that.

[@rajeshhkkapoor8549]

i dont know who u are. but thank u from all of us to you for these bass uploads. i have picked up my bass after a long time and ur channel has inspired me to practise again... awesome.....thank you. Ra3

[@heavyribassmaiden4924]

AWSOME AWSOME AWSOME!!!!!!!!! WE NEED MORE OF THESE

[@joaomatheus6222]

am i the only one who's singing the melodies in my head?

[@TheRuddster95]

noo ;)

[@loloncarrillo3403]

The Clairvoyant. Maiden´s most underrated song.

[@1977moonchild1]

Definetly not underrated by any means.. A very well known Maiden classic and much loved classic. One of my favourites over the last thirty years!

[@rkrokberg]

Love the bass, thanks for this, man, I could listen to Steve's bass playing for hours and hours ...

[@pabloabdala7063]

un espectaculo

[@TheCrimsonIdol987]

This is god tier of a bass performance.

[@MarxL]

There is nothing like a bass played with fingers !!! Pizzicato !!!! Hail Harris !!!

[@TheRuddster95]

giusto!

[@Its_Star_Brite]

Who started to make guitar noises? :,)

[@VideoMask93]

Chris Squire, Paul McCartney, Jason Newsted, David Ellefson, and Lemmy want a word with you. You can admire Steve's skill without being a pick snob. I stopped being a pick snob long ago when I realized the skill it requires (I play bass). Just have some respect.

[@Captain_Rhodes]

he doesnt use a pick

[@EddyRocker]

I always want to hear the bass just in this great song

[@martyschriver]

I like the part where it went clickety-clack-clack

[@bassdmin7436]

Marty Schriver lol

[@thelisamannshow]

Marty Schriver goddamn right thats the best part

[@TRJBASS]

I would agree ,I have no doubts.

[@thegoverner100]

Ya im geting the hang of it it just speed and sustain

[@andreabovo274]

I could put this in my car and it would be a song. Without any other instrument.

[@rodfernandes537]

amazing!

[@robertpadua6096]

Steve Harris is the greatest bass player of all time

[@BlackenedThunder]

It's actually an easy bassline if your right hand speed is enough.

[@nicoloderossi3888]

so, it's easy if you are a good player... Give this baseline to someone who hasn't enough stamina (and you need quite a lot of that on his baselines) and he won't make it... Knowing which note to play doesn't mean the baseline is easy... You might know the notes by heart but you might not make it

[@barafundlebumbler]

stupidly good

[@NelsonMontana1234]

Steve's TIMING back then! Wow.

[@mantas34]

Thanks for this, it right from the start. The master!

[@metal666328]

Thank you, it's great!! Do you have more separated Maiden bass and drum tracks?

[@thesonoflucifer]

awesome! thanks =)

[@tyreekmurillo4524]

even though he fucked up a few times this type of music is still more iconic than the shit out nowadays

[@mka70]

Can I ask how you do this? Get an isolated track that is? Would love to get some of Adrian's tracks (live) for practising guitar! Thanks!!

[@Dennis19901]

These are from rhythm games like guitar hero or rock band. There's no way to obtain an isolated track once the master tracks are mixed in to one song.

[@borizh]

@@Dennis19901 yea but guitar hero got to isolate the tracks somehow... unless they paid to have access to the original tracks... you know IM prob own the rights to their own songs... fear of the dark was recorded at Harris’ own studio... I bought many of the re-release albums under castle records back in the mid 90s and (I think) I remember reading that it was their label.

[@Dennis19901]

@@borizh They either used the original isolated tracks, or re-recorded them. Either via cover bamd or the origonal

[@borizh]

@@Dennis19901 it’s a possibility that someone was paid to recreate the tracks but it’s unlikely that it was Steve Harris who re-recorded them. The tone also sounds like it’s from the original track... Either way, good discussion... I would love to find out how it was done and whether it is an expensive software of some sort that allows you to do that.. very much like karaoke.

[@Dennis19901]

@@borizh In the case of Iron Maiden,. it's just the existing master tracks. I've read that when Guitar Hero 3 says "As made famous by" behind the song, that means it's a cover band that recorded it. Holiday in Cambodia is one of those. Also the track "Cult of Personality" differs from the original track released by Living Colour. It's apparently a re-recorded version (not sure if it's specifically for GH though).

[@ibrahimozkan9303]

1:44-2:00 love

[@dsisa27]

@sardanonimo Sure :)

[@GusFogle]

Some things are A LOT harder to play with a pick. There are lots of fantastic pick players. Mike Oldfield, Chris Squire, Scott Thunes, etc. There are also many great finger style players- Steve Harris is one. But to say one style is better than the other is just ignorant.

[@GelionEntertainment]

Alguien me puede decir como hacen esto? extraer solo el bajo, la voz, etc. La verdad lo veía un poco imposible, de hecho llegue a pensar que se los conseguían en los archivos de grabación con la compañía productora o que se yo xD porque de los programas de edición que conozco nunca he visto uno que deje tan limpio solo un instrumento.

[@stratocardo]

Puede que sean los masters originales o sacados de algún videojuego como Guitar Hero o Rock Smith, por ejemplo.

[@pechusvargas4851]

Perrones los videos de iron maiden me pasa mas el de sep hon se

[@jorgeabbud9518]

If you can play with a pick AND finger-pick, that means you're awesome... I play the intro from "Hallowed be Thy Name" with a pick when Dave doesn't use one so I outstand more, and when he uses his pick again I'm on finger-pick again.. Why? Because I can... Don't criticize bassists who use a pick...

[@robertghanem1424]

Who's better?

[@diegoironmaidenify]

harris is god

[@PANICBLADE]

Harris doesn't play hard, he just uses a lot of presence and treble so his pick accent shows more. But yep, he's human.

[@jorgeabbud9518]

More like making magic, didn't you want to say?

[@thegoverner100]

Any ideas of the bass EQ settings any one ?
