Keep in mind that the strummed chords (x) at the end of the bars are

played continuessly with the 1st chord of the beginning of the riff.

I also play the strummed chord (upstroke, downstroke, upstroke) and

very rapidly.

Subject: "Running Free" solo

Here is the tab for the solo in "Running Free" by Iron Maiden. The existing

tab in OLGA is fine except that only one out of two guitar parts is tabbed.

Cheers, Sergei.

It's not really needed to tab the verses, bridges and the chorus. It's mostly

variations on Em.

Intro: Em G-F#-D-Em C D The chords from G to Em are 8th notes approx.

Verse:Em C D Em G A etc

Chorus: Em G D-Em C D

RUNNING FREE

(solo)

I tabbed it as two parts, each one is for two guitars.

Every note played on the first guitar corresponds to a note on the second.
