[@ninaholicova3984]

Thank you for your effort. It was pleasure for my ears to listen your guitar You are perfect.

[@antonyledsom5171]

These are amazing. Sound perfect. Love the powerslave solo but so many of them are brilliant. For me they are just so melodic and clear like being on a mini journey.

[@IronMaidenSwe]

Great to see Prodigal Son in there! All of Adrian's work on Killers is brilliant and deserves lot more credit!

[@simmme]

Amazing playing man!

[@rodrigobarros4294]

Amazing job! I’d like to hear The Prisoner next list ;-)

[@paulorsguedes]

"Stranger In A Strange Land" solo is definitely one of the most beautiful solos in metal music...

[@Nero_1069]

yep, and Sea of Madness

[@bigtorrisi]

This guy only gets 175k views by having THIS much talent and learning all these solos and there are people out there with millions of views by just showing how to put on their favourite lipstick?? WTF

[@Mar-a-LagoSpectrum]

What does that tell you about what direction society is headed?

[@txcyphek]

Adrian has storytelling behind his solos.

[@iainwhite3476]

Wasted years is one of the best studio recordings in rock history

[@thegerman3480]

OUTSTANDING!! Adrian Smith is probably one of the most underrated guitarists followed closely by Dave Murray

[@z044408]

The David Gilmour of Metal

[@Lexsoufz]

Well said! Never thought of it that way but totally agree :)

[@martinboucher6225]

Melodic

[@phylipin1]

A primeira guitarra do dave murray era assim com 3 caps single

[@charthers8903]

Amazing playing.. Nothing is classier than Adrian Smith solos

[@camerongardner4538]

This. Classy is a great term for his playing

[@michaelmiglino6512]

Adrian plays with such soul and feel. He is without a doubt one of the most underrated players of all time. Great job In recreating his tone , feel, and technic.

[@SignOfCross]

Yeah, he makes each note count

[@Grottgreta]

Literally every single solo he does is a 10/10. Fantastic job

[@nethbt]

Adrian's note choices are impeccable

[@dimitarpanaytov7130]

IRON MAIDEN FOREVER! GREETINGS FROM BULGARIA!

[@patozf]

What a beast. This man never disappoints. Awesome selection, too. Caught Somewhere is my personal favorite.

[@enricoagnelli369]

Agree. Adrian enter the House without knockin on the door

[@lucaboscolopalo7613]

Same here

[@thomstunes6485]

Caught somewhere in time is a beast of a composition !

[@marioguti9887]

Such soulful playing by Adrian, contrasting the legato shredding by Dave and the chaotic free style by Janick. I would love to see him playing Dave's and Janick's best solos too.

[@DownMemoryLaneParis]

Adrian is a very tasteful guitar player. His solos are really clean and powerful, with tons of licks and feel... Great and very humble player.

[@albertoboccali7437]

Smith came to earth from another planet to bring emotions

[@jerry8323]

Adrian's solos are so fucking beautiful! Amazing selection and covers, dude.

[@peteharmony6024]

This guy's facial expressions are exactly how I feel hearing these masterpieces. Soooo good.

[@hardrock2453]

Congratulations!...Iron Maiden is everywhere.

[@leehambleton9919]

Adrian is pure class

[@fronthorse]

Great. That's why after 30 years of playing Smith and Murray are still among my top 5 players.

[@RafaelOliveiraBR]

Stranger in a Strange Land solo is one of the most powerful solos in the world in my view. Great video, man. Thank you very much. I got a travel to the past with this great video.

[@paulobernardino3785]

SIASL makes me fly, bro.

[@cdj5316]

Adrian Smith te agradece tus palabras, desde el pasado 😉

[@jamesboydriver]

The Wicker Man solo, Bro!!! That was one of the absolute stand outs for me 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 phenomenal playing, man.. seriously! Thank you for creating and sharing this 👌🏻👌🏻

[@Denis-gd8yq]

Wicker Man is one of my favs too.

[@strilaren]

Every solo is extremely clean, played with clarity and with such great tone and feeling. Great work, and awesome selection of solos! Many of my favourites!

[@michaelmiglino6512]

Awesome job covering the solo’s from my favorite player of all time. Adrian’s style, phrasing, and feel is unparalleled.

[@madhattersd2002]

People leaving a thumbs down obviously can't play guitar

[@davix8669]

Or are deaf..or dead 😂

[@tonyfondacaro1980]

Mainly Polyphia fan-bois

[@ooABoo]

@@tonyfondacaro1980 not convinced he's playing that - some little errors with fingering vs sound - could be he laid the track down then video'd and combined but def some discrepencies - only small nut they are there.

[@alanandjess7516]

What people don't appreciate is how well the solos for the songs

[@chaseadams5037]

At least I can do really BIG poo's though 🤤

[@jacklopezz]

Adrian Smith makes me cry. Love it! Congratulations!

[@glennrichards3913]

Incredible guitar work here. What a fantastic job replicating my favourite guitarist of all time. Adrian Smith master of the melodic lead break

[@benrusher581]

I particularly love the Wasted Years solo and you did it proud. Nice job!

[@leojones666]

Oh man, that Infinite Dreams ending, what a delight…

[@alexanderwheeler4827]

One of the best videos on the Internet!

[@sanderberkvens6270]

Wow!!! This is more than amazing… all the work, all those hours and then ending up playing Adrian’s epic solo’s note for note… unreal!!!! 🙏🏼

[@Man-dl9ml]

This was absolutely fucking amazing dude! Been playing for like 20 years this type of music. Cant even come close to how well you played this. Great work man!

[@balazsbellak976]

Masterful! Thanks for sharing. Adrian’s licks (paired with Dave) are a must for every great Maiden song. Beautiful sounds

[@talonsoftheraven6693]

Awesome display of Maiden Knowledge and Adrian power 10/10

[@bbull26]

I grew up listening to these songs and playing guitar over 35 years ago and still love them. Well done !!!

[@blainethemono19]

You killed this! In my opinion Adrian's best solo is Sea of Madness, but the best Maiden solo is Rime of the Ancient Mariner. Both H and Murray killed it and H's solo is just NASTY

[@lfs-x1r]

Each note sounds so special. Simple and beautiful.

[@yurkshirelad]

Awesome! Smith is such an amazing guitarist. So damn melodic.

[@FranksWorld1]

Absolutely amazing music!…Iron Maiden…what a masterfully talented band…and masterfully performed by Ignacio…bravo❤

[@doz7496]

Such great fell, the ability to convey the emotion of each song. Timeless classics.

[@MrBubyV]

🎸 The Guitar Lords are Impressed & Satisfied 🎸 You’ve done well Noble Sir🤘🏽

[@stallionblacklord]

No hay palabras para definir a Smith, realmente es un genio de pta mdre. Éste video y su interpretación y técnica raya en lo casi perfecto, enhorabuena!!!

[@christhiancarvajal4027]

Los solos más bonitos de Maiden son de Adrian, son bastante elaborados y melódicos.

[@stallionblacklord]

@@christhiancarvajal4027 Totalmente de acuerdo.

[@robertkay9349]

Great video! I enjoyed it very much. Adrian has written and played so many great guitar pieces over the years. I’m a fan of all three: Murray, Smith, and Gers.

[@daveanker]

Iron Maiden my favourite band. Adrian Smith my favourite guitarist from the band, although they are all exceptional. Thanks for reminding me why!! 😊

[@BabTheBabs]

Guy plays 20 minutes of insane guitar solos and doesn't look at his guitar for more than 20 seconds total. That's badass!!! And Adrian Smith is a musical genius.

[@VitorMadeira]

7:54 That has got to be one of the "most out of this world" guitar solo ever! Thank you for this precioous video. Greetings from Portugal.

[@ninoninov6044]

Wasted Years is one of his best songs with probbably his best solo. The Evel That Man Do has also amazing solo. I like it in its both live versions - Smith's and Gers's. Amazing job man. Up the Irons

[@jonkerrmusic]

Absolutely killer playing and tone; well done, sir!

[@omaredgardo]

Impecable, que buen tributo a Adrian. Tocar así es notable y virtuoso.

[@felixplaza823]

Perfect! Up the Irons! Adrian is one of the best metal guitarists! \m/

[@stephanehumel8385]

Adrian should be on the list of the greatest guitar heroes of all time for sure

[@rodrigogodoy5714]

Que alegría verte Nacho tocando esos maravillosos solos de Adrian Smith! Eres un gran profesor, un estudioso de la guitarra, talentoso y excelente persona.

[@leonmagee3516]

You nailed every single one. Brilliant 👏

[@oscarrock7605]

Suena brutal, desde la ejecución impecable, pasando por el tono hasta los backing tracks, realmente un trabajo de joyería 🤘🏻

[@IggyBing]

Amazing playing. Fun to hear that much greatness back to back. It leaves no doubt as to the absolute greatness of Adrian Smith: these aren't just riflingbthrough scales... every one of these fits the song and makes a quick small statement. He has another 5 orb6 moments of absolute awesomeness on the new album too. Darkest Hour, along with Dave's fine solo, is their best 1-2 punch since the old days.

[@juanneman]

Perfecto todo, el feeling de Adrian no es fácil de pillar y lo ha conseguido, mi más sincera enhorabuena!!!!!!!

[@selenc.3324]

Wasted years solo gives me chills every time i hear it

[@raulsanchez5032]

Tributo perfecto, eres tremendo guitarrista Chileno 🇨🇱🎸 bendiciones y un gran abrazo de año nuevo @nachodedoslargos 🎶🎶💯🎸

[@perrucoskateshopvaldivia1928]

Se pasó! Muy buena selección y muy buena ejecución! Adrian Smith es el mejor guitarrista del planeta.

[@nachodedoslargos]

Uno de los mejores, gracias

[@wappa2]

Wow, you perfectly captured the soul in Adrian's solos. Great playing, man. Congratulations and keep up with the amazing videos.

[@c.m5043]

Absolutely amazing performance. Thank you

[@HKTimbo]

I’d forgotten what great chops Adrian has. Great feel Ignacio 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@PaulFarrerMusic]

Your playing and feel is incredible! I'm a huge Maiden fan and it's influenced my playing and creativity ever since I started. From start to finish I was glued to this video! Outstanding!

[@richiemetal259]

Parabéns pela homenagem, dentre os guitarristas do Iron, Adrian é o que mais admiro!

[@luigiguida8173]

I regreto to say that this is absolutely a TRUE tribute from a TRUE Maiden Fan since Iron Maiden is only till Seventh Son. After Seventh there's nothing. You nailed the solos my friend!

[@guidobottazzo]

Man this is just gold, what a feeling you have. Personally i've always found in Adrian solos that something that makes them way more interesting than Dave's..probably the notes choice

[@tonygreen4896]

Superb!! Close your eyes and this is absolutely Adrian, you cannot believe otherwise! 👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@ClifftopTragedy]

This makes me happy

[@fishmank27]

Oh wow. Your playing is spot on and inspirational. One of the best on YT I’ve ever seen

[@ibeltramim]

Grande Nacho después de verte por última vez tocando en Transylvania hace ya varios años atrás el talento sigue y mejorado, tremendo video te sacaste con esos solos que hacen volar la cabeza, un gran abrazo.

[@Cujo-fu5bm]

The Wicker Man`s solo gives me goosebumps ;) and you played it really good ;)

[@VikingTorolf]

Great playing and great solos by Adrian - thanks for sharing!!

[@pcorcoran100]

So well played. They are all beautiful solos. My favourite has to be SIT but the way you came out of the Wasted Years solo was just genius.

[@patricklongerbeam6421]

Adrian is one of my favorite guitarist, and you did an awesome job!!

[@davidshaw5973]

Impeccable playing Sir. Caught somewhere in Time my absolute favourite Maiden song! Thankyou for your video.

[@hifinphoto]

Astonishing !!!!!!

[@GiuseppeM75]

Absolutely fantastic! My respect mate 🤟🏼

[@Exumer667]

My favorite iron maiden guitar player. Absolutelly underrated.

[@davidr8081]

You have no idea how much I appreciate your playing. I smile every time I hear your brilliance. I'm so envious yet so amazed. You're truly a master. Keep it up my friend! You never disappoint. I look forward to more!

[@nachodedoslargos]

Thanks David!

[@declanoshaughnessy7733]

From a lifetime iron maiden fan thanks oh so much Ignacio for your 150% achomlishment of showing Adrian Smith for the guitarist he is with Maiden a true foundation he has built with building the band . Thanks for your version you are a great guitarist yourself much appreciated Ignacio have a merry Christmas and a prosperous new year 🤟🤟🤟👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂

[@greAX7]

This guy mimics guitarists so fucking well he starts to look a bit like them. You’re a beast dude. An absolute beast. Wow

[@allien9999]

Gracias Nacho, me dieron ganas de volver a tocar unos temitas de Maiden.

[@domenicbell2834]

Absolutely stunning mate,. ...every. brilliant. solo. Adrian would be proud.

[@rkttime]

Very well done! Adrian Smith is one of my all-time favorite guitarists. His phrasing can be so unexpected and tasty at the same time.

[@claudioignaciobustos1754]

Sos un crack Nacho interpretando y tocas ese instrumento como los dioses.Bravoooooo!!!!!.

[@diegosilva3816]

Um dos meus guitarristas favoritos. Excelente execução! Up the Irons!🤟🤟🤟

[@rightfootlefthand]

This is so amazing 👏 For me it is easily Powerslave. Adrian's solo opens up a whole new chapter in that song.

[@danielleiva9456]

Uffffff q locura, que bien ejecutado, Adrian tiene los solos bien pensados y con un muy buen gusto....impresionante nacho!!

[@malakbrood667]

Todos sus solos son cojonudos. Pero donde Adrian lo borda, especialmente, es en el "Somewhere in time". Felicidades por el vídeo.

[@MathiasGoethe]

Perfectly played all! Caught somewhere in time and Seventh son 🙌🏻

[@JanPierreValderrama]

Nacho apenas conozco tu canal. Que vibrato tan impresionante ! Le haces justicia a Adrián y de que manera ! Que grande !

[@ClifftopTragedy]

Some of my favourite moments in music history relived beautifully right here - especially Somewhere In Time solo. Adrian Smith is the legend for me. This is so well done. Great job!

[@GUITARDOJOCHILE]

maravilloso tono, maravillosa interpretación

[@FACF0416]

Precision and feeling. Awesome performance, man!

[@battlemageblitz82]

Utterly fantastic, dude! Even got some deep cuts (Prodigal Son, Still Life, Seventh Son...and 22 Acacia Ave.) in there as well. You've earned yourself a sub. Up the Irons!

[@stuart8465]

Amazing, I love the new track.. it took a few listens but the guys are as one again. I can’t wait for London next week ❤️

[@calicojack6696]

You are the first I see playing Caught Somewhere in Time when it comes to Adrian solos, sweet choice! Great job dude 👍🏻

[@alexv.854]

Awesone playing! Felicitaciones Nacho, qué talento 👏👏

[@JackMcLeodJr]

Pure feel and a great musical ear for melody man, this was incredible. Wicked phrasing and vibrato!

[@nachodedoslargos]

Thanks!

[@g-man21]

Insane. Great work man, iron maiden tour with you as your support act. 😂 Adrian Smith: legend pure and simple.

[@femaiden2373]

This tribute is a thing of beauty! Thank you!! 😊🥰💜
