== The Ides of March ==
=============================================================================
By Iron Maiden
Music by Steve Harris of Iron Maiden
Tablature by Dan Wade
==============================================================================
This Tab is for 2 Guitars one Rhythm and one Lead,
IF you want to play with one Guitar, play lead.
This tab is 100% correct.
I have made maybe five versions of the solo.
But the first Half of the solo is in E Blues Pentatonic scale
and the second half is in D Major scale.
The solo is about 95% correct the very last before the tapping
starts, maybe off by a couple of notes..maybe.
Guitar 1(Rhythm)This Guitar Should be low and have alot of tone, Distorted.
Guitar 2(Lead) This Guitar should be very high, and Distorted. A bit of tone.
The tabs is in order.
