Adrian Smith Guitar God Pt 1

PART 2 – uk.youtube.com Adrian Frederik “H” Smith (born February 27, 1957 in Hackney, East London, England) is a songwriter and one of three guitarists/songwriters in the heavy metal band Iron Maiden. Smith and Dave Murray combined playing dual lead guitars helping to forge the trademark sound of Iron Maiden. Some notable dual lead solos are “2 Minutes To Midnight”, “Alexander the Great” and “Rime Of The Ancient Mariner”. Notable solitary solos include “Wasted Years”, “Stranger in a Strange Land” and “The Wicker Man”. Adrian’s solos are usually composed rather than improvised. His legato playing is very smooth and fast, and typically even his very fast passages have a musical function and relationship to the chord structure behind the solo, drawing from modes and arpeggios which are more often from the blues licks. Adrian is one of the most accomplished metal guitarists of this age. Adrian has evolved a tone and style that is all his own and is unique. Nobody sounds like Adrian, and that is priceles

    @jamecontent Maybe but I doubt about it… not ’cause youre saying it, so many times I d read it in mags and pages. Mr Harris not commands which riffs and solos Dave, Adrian Janick must do.

    @davidamarat You’re right – I apparently didn’t read the good informations but as previously said calling those guys “guitar gods” is more than excessive – Clapton was also called “guitar god” and himself admitted this as ridiculous – Anyway I very much like Adrian Smith but there are many other guys of higher class

    Adrian Smith in my opinion puts many of the so-called shred masters to shame, because like BB King once said “It’s not how many notes you play, but how you play the notes.”
