Still Life Iron Maiden
INTRO:
Gtr II (Adrian)
I'll show the picking pattern for the three chords used in
the backing to the solo. I'll show the chord changes with the
solo.
Played with a 3/4 time feel.

I'll try and show the basic idea. Finger the open Am and try to

the Fmaj7 chord anyway you want.
