Learn the 4 key habits & guitar-playing styles of Adrian Smith from Iron Maiden uses.
Have you ever wondered how Adrian Smith is so good at playing hooks and turning his guitar solos into something you can sing back to him! Have you ever wanted to know how to use the whammy bar like Adrian Smith in the 1980s era of Iron Maiden or how he creates incredible harmonies with Dave Murray?
In this Adrian Smith guitar lesson, Leigh Fuge breaks down the 4 major playing styles and guitar habits that Adrian relies on when playing live and recording with Iron maiden. Watch as we find out how to use repeated licks and patterns including pull offs and hammer ons just like Adrian Smith and how his use of repeated patterns with incremental changes, blues style pentatonic phrasing ad melodic themes all contribute to his signature sound and playing style.
