Well, here you have the tab for the intro—acoustic bass solo.
Ive seen Steve Harris playing it on tour for two times,
(Granada, 24 Nov. 95 — Jerez de la Frontera, 10 Agu. 96)
and Im sure that this is the right way for play it perfectly.
Anyway, although its not difficult to reach the speed that is on
the record, it will be harder to play it as fast at its played live!.
I suggest a carefully listening of it to be sure do you know exactly
how it is. Playing along with the recording will help you a lot.
Do you have any:
...answers,
...suggestions,
...comments,
...corrections, (What do you mean?? Its perfect!!)
...anything? mail me.
Remember that the numbers in brackets are harmonics. Have fun!

(*) In this part, you must move your hand from fret to fret as fast
as you can (and faster!). So, the notes played on the G string will
sound sliding to the next.
Pay a little attention to the disc to notice how it works.

Iron Maiden are a British heavy metal band from Leyton in east London, formed in 1975. The band is directed by founder, bassist and songwriter Steve Harris. Since their inception, the group has released a collective total of thirty albums: fourteen studio albums; seven live albums; four EPs; and five compilations.
Bass tablature (tabs) is an easy way to learn songs without needing to read traditional sheet music. Here’s a quick guide to understanding the symbols and techniques commonly found in tabs:
Each line in a tab represents a string on your bass:
Numbers on the lines indicate which fret to press. For example:
G|-------------------| D|-------------------| A|---3---------------| E|-------------------|
This means you play the 3rd fret on the A string.
Play the first note by picking it, then press down on a higher fret with another finger without picking again.
G|-------------------| D|-------5h7---------|
Pluck a note and then "pull off" your finger to let a lower fret ring.
G|-------------------| D|-------7p5---------|
Move your finger up (/) or down (\) the fretboard while maintaining pressure.
G|-------------------| D|-------5/7---------|
G|-------7b9---------|
G|-------7~----------|
Tabs don’t always indicate timing, so listen to the song while reading the tab. Wider spaces between numbers mean longer pauses, while closer numbers indicate quicker notes.
Tabs are a great tool to learn songs, but mastering the techniques takes practice. Listen carefully to the original track and play along to lock in the rhythm. Don’t rush — smooth, accurate playing is more important than speed. Happy jamming! 🎸
