Hallowed Be Thy Name Guitar Lesson - Iron Maiden

In this Hallowed Be Thy Name guitar lesson video, I will show you how to play this Iron Maiden classic note-for-note.

The tuning is standard tuning.

We start the lesson off with the clean guitar intro that uses 10th diads on the A and B strings. The diads move around pretty quickly and you will need to use basic fingerpicking technique as well.

From there we have a quick harmony guitar section that leads into one of the many rapid fire single note riffs you will find throughout "Hallowed By Thy Name".

The verse sections are relatively simple and based around easy power chords.

Later in the song, you will see more of those fast picking riffs. They might sound similar, but there are some variations thrown in there, so make sure you pay attention to all the sections that I cover in the lesson.

I will also go through both guitar solo sections. As with most Iron Maiden songs, there will be a lot of cool licks to dive into here, using lots of legato, fast picking and HUGE bends.

I hope you guys enjoy learning this Iron Maiden masterpiece! #hallowedbethynameguitarlesson #ironmaiden #guitarcovers

A big reason of why I'm playing guitar is because of you Sir, Thank you for you effort <3

[bluenight]

I stopped playing guitar for almost 15 years but when I see your video I started playing again. You are a great teacher. Thank Sir. Love from India

[doorhinge]

I was getting frustrated with the lack of accurate tabs that I kept finding, bless you for releasing this video. I'm a huge fan of your tutorials!

[Robylazarus]

How I wish we had these lessons 35 years used to re wind and re re wind the tape just to learn these parts and that too not too accurately!!! Thank you for sharing these, I am sure a lot of younger IRONS Guitar players would find this most useful... Kind regards from India.

Carl, I play in a Hard Rock / Metal cover band with another amazing guitar player. Your lessons help us figure out and play kick ass dual lead guitar songs so quickly and accurately. Thank you so much! You're helping keep all of this amazing music alive.

Finding your channel was a blessing Carl. I might not ever play any song in its entirety but you've inspired me not to give up as I had in my youth many times before. Thank you...

You know how to get through to people man!!! Now I have to practise it so I can execute what I've just learned! Subscribed and notified for life!!!

Thanks Carl I learned the whole song in a few days💜 I been playing guitar since I was 8, my first song was nothing else matters

[samuelhenry]

Huge thank you! This main riff (and the heavy heavy metal version) has eluded me for years and driven me up the wall every time I’ve sat down to learn it. Loved the video/angles/presentation! Fantastic level of instruction and skill. Thank you for sharing your effort and ability with us

[davidherd]

Excellent, extremely helpful tutorial, some real slippery phrasing that you can't really get with just tab alone, I was struggling with this very tune but now psyched to dig in again
You rock dude 🤘

[jeanrunkle]

[markwinkle]

Thank you so much for your accurate transcription of this song! I'm an accomplished guitarist of many years but still have problems picking out melodic riffs that go by at 100 miles an hour. Thanks!

[sethgunderson]

I started to learn this song last week. Now I have this to make it a lot easier.

[giorgostsompanidis]
