Guitar Video Log 14 - Phantom Of The Opera
This is my first go at Iron Maiden and I probably bit off more than I could chew. It's not that difficult a song as such, but it's a bit faster than I'm comfortable with. I'm not a million miles off but it has to be one of the dodgiest things I've posted so far. It's also too long for me to think about attempting a clean take so I just did a couple. There are a stack of mistakes but on the bright side anything I struggle with this much has to be improving my playing. If I ever improve enough I'll have to come back to it sometime and see if I can play it properly.
There is some strange tuning going on with this song. It starts off a bit higher than standard, then keeps getting higher until the third solo where I end up being ridiculously flat before it drops back down again for the last bit. It's kind of distracting trying to play when you are that far out of tune - I probably should have gone for the live version.
