How can 22 people give this thumbs down? The effort that goes into producing this type of video, the guy tabs it out so accurately, slows it down with a tab running, provides backing tracks and the tabs themselves to down load wtf is wrong with you people? Thanks again Steph for your great work and providing these great vids 👊 stay well bro.

Adrian Smith's soloing is so tasteful, he just plays the right notes! Love those pedal point licks. Thanks for breaking it down.

[garythomas]

Wow. First person I've seen play it correct. Thank you.

Dude I almost cried with joy when I heard this, so many tried and failed but you nailed it. Thanks for posting

[Chris-lzfs]

Oooh, very nice! I especially love how you've slowed it down to half speed so amateurs like me can see and hear better which notes are being played on the fretboard. And if I manage to get it right at a slower speed, it's just a matter of practising it until I feel comfortable and confident enough to speed it up. Great idea! I'd be very tempted to try and learn this after years of just listening to it.

Adrian's style is very hard to get down. You did it perfectly !

[Eh_O_Nico]

Can't stress enough how good your video and playing are. Just keep rocking bro

[MikeUIibarri]

So many of my favorite tunes and players! Continued success.

[ericplanamente]

Wow ! My favorite solo executed perfectly. Respect!

[michaelreffett]

All thanks for the accurate breakdown of this masterpiece. I was intimidated at first to try it but worked it out over these last 2 days. Adrian has always been my influence and this just sums it up as to why...

[DrexerGoW]

Man, i've been always thinking "god, this solo must be so hard to play", but now that i watch how to play it, looks so much more easier than it sounds

[chrisbcn]

Man, you help us a lot!!! It is a exactly what we need to progress and try to nail this solo!

[michaelfrgegaard]

Very well done. One of the few version on youtube that is actually correct performed.

[bcolenm]

Best cover I saw of this solo I saw here, I and saw a lot. Congrats!

[TheIldalla]

thanks man! great job, I love your videos. I wish I had this opportunity when I was 16. But...better late than never. Keep on.

[leonardomachadoes]
