The Trooper
Iron Maiden
Text File
Song: The Trooper
Album: Piece of Mind
Artist: Iron Maiden
Bassist: Steve Harris
Tuning: Standard (E A D G)
Notes:
- Make sure you choke the note after you do the triplet (gallop), otherwise, it
doesn't really make much sense.
- Tablature timing is not perfect, so you'll have to work out the timing yourself
(please consider that this is my first tab)
