============================================================================= == 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. ============================================================================== Intro (Guitar 1) |---------------------------------------------------------|
