Steve does not use a pick. He is using his first two fingers along with the floating thumb technique. He plays with an incredibly light plucking attack in which he kind of bounces off the strings on fast parts. This way he doesn't burn out his forearm.

"2 MInutes to Midnight" is on my practice playlist and it is a blast to play. I call it "the pentatonic playground" and the "onslaught of 1/8 notes." It's a pretty straightforward song but it has enough variation in the fills (and an excellent bass-driven outro) to make it an excellent song for early intermediate bass players to learn different ways to do fills over the same chord.

How can you play bass without knowing Steve Harris? I'm glad you both got a little deeper in the catalogue and developed some appreciation for the legend. Maiden are unto themselves. Unlike anyone else, and Harris, despite not writing Wasted Years, has probably written 80% of their music. It is incredible what a strong creative influence he is on one of the most unique and iconic bands of the last 40 years. Also, Wrathchild and Phantom off the Paul D'Anno era catalogue. Those songs are way more raw then the Dickinson era, but exceptional in their own right. Always glad to see them get some love.

The final 1 minute and 2 seconds of Seventh Son is probably my favorite piece of music EVER - across any band and any genre of music. The way everything just kicks in at the end of the song is sheer genius. Nicko's triplets, the guitars harmonizing, Steve's tight simple upper register fills and the tensions created by the synths. It's perfection. After playing music over and over and over again, music ends up being an exercise in technique, yet this outro elicits an emotional response from me every time, whether it's listening to it or playing it. I play it when I need to pump myself up for a heavy lift in the gym. It is a masterpiece in my eyes.

@christophermyers8157 Жыл бұрын

Steve Harris made me realize you could play heavy music with flatwound strings. I was already doing it, and it sounded good to me. But everyone was saying "You have to use roundwounds." The truth is you can still get a clanky or growly tone with the right amp settings, pedals, and hand technique. BTW, I wonder if "Blood Brother" was inspired by "Orion" by Metallica? It definitely has a similar feel to the famous middle section of that song.

I wish I could like this video multiple times. Good picks on the songs and so enjoyable chemistry between the two of you. Sharon is so charismatic and funny. As a Steve Harris disciple and a fan of Iron Maiden, I loved this a few things I wish you talked about are Steves use of power chords and double stops. It is often a thing that goes unnoticed. Also very important to mention, the Rotosounds flats he uses are very bright, quite heavy (50-110 gauge) and Super high tension. This actually allows for super low action which provided with a relatively light touch is easy to get the CLANK! Also, Iron Maiden has been around for 45 years! No wonder there was so much contradicting information. Over the years things have developed, evolved and changed. Interestingly, when it comes to sound I see a weird parallel/common thread between Iron Maiden and Rush, especially in terms of sound engineering/production. It is no secret Steve Harris is a big Rush Fan and that both Bands have worked in extensively with producer Kevin Shirley

I can tell you that the satanic panic never really ended. Everybody freaked out about metal in the 80s and 90s because they openly talk about evil and depravity. But if you actually pay attention, you may notice that the lyrics are quite far from ever endorsing it. They never made it sound like a good thing. The same people freaked out about DOOM and called it satanic because of the imagery and iconography, but didn't seem to notice that your character is rampaging around, killing all the demons. People are still freaking out about it. They just aren't putting it on local news as much. Anyway....Harris is one of the metal P bass foils. They are not common or popular among metal players, and flats even less so. But Steve uses both. Amazing player.

That is..... really.... a great video ! Thanks you! Steve Harris is the one who taught me (even though he doesn't know about it) to play bass. On the day I purchased my 1st bass, on my way back home, I purchased a book with scores of 5 Iron Maiden songs (without tabs). I didn't know about music theory. These songs included notably Running free and Phantom of the opera. I started to learn about reading music by comparing the scores to what I heard with the shitty tape player I had at that time. I had no money for an amp, so I played unplugged for two years with my low price electric bass, learning to play through Iron Maiden songs. Looking back to that time, it was quite epic. Even if I am listening less to their music now, 30 years later, Iron Maiden and in particular Steve will always mean a lot to me.

I learned my bass chops playing Iron Maiden covers. I could never nail the sound until I found out he used flats, and I believe that the tone control on his bass isn't even wired up, it's fully bypassed. I could watch Ian all day, and occasionally I have lol. His lessons on SBL where he talks about his session work are utterly amazing.

@och70 Жыл бұрын

You're right about the tone control. If I remember correctly, he mentioned in an interview with one of the guitar or bass magazines that he had it disconnected, because when the would hold his bass out over the crowd, in some smaller venues they had played in, excited fans would of course, want to reach out and touch it. Someone would always turn the volume and tone knobs, and he kept wondering where his top-end frequencies had gone. He eventually figured it out! haha

If you’re looking for suggestions please check out Dennis Dunaway from the original Alice Cooper Group. The albums Love It To Death, Killer, Billion Dollar Babies, and School’s Out are classics. Dennis’ playing is outstanding and unique (at least at the time of these recordings). Another bassist to highlight would be Graham Maby, check out his work on Joe Jackson’s Look Sharp album.

What did I just saw…? Well, at the end, I just saw joy, the joy that Steve brings to his playing and that every bassist feels when playing his music, me included of course. Speaking of technique, the gallop obviously, yes he plays starting with the index, so he’s always doing the 1, 1 2 1, 1 2 1 thing, while personally I developed my gallop speed with the alternates version, the one that Sharon uses in the video. And yes, leave the click off and know the song by heart, it’s the only way… 😂 Speaking of songs, two of my all time favourite to play are Hallowed be thy Name and Infinite Dreams, the one that I found top speed with the gallop is Caught Somewhere in Time, which I can play no more with only two fingers and another one difficult to play with no gallop for me is Where Eagles Dare, try them. Cheers to everyone at SBL academy and up the Irons!!!
