Keep in mind that the strummed chords (x) at the end of the bars are
played continuessly with the 1st chord of the beginning of the riff.
I also play the strummed chord (upstroke, downstroke, upstroke) and
very rapidly.

I think they change the pick-up or turn on an effect on the 3rd x.
On the 4th x replace last bar with:

Just play the sequence sustaining each chord:

Subject: "Running Free" solo




Here is the tab for the solo in "Running Free" by Iron Maiden. The existing
tab in OLGA is fine except that only one out of two guitar parts is tabbed.
Cheers, Sergei.

It's not really needed to tab the verses, bridges and the chorus. It's mostly
variations on Em.
Intro: Em G-F#-D-Em  C D      The chords from G to Em are 8th notes approx.

Verse:Em C D Em G A  etc

Chorus: Em G D-Em C D


                             RUNNING FREE
                                 (solo)
I tabbed it as two parts, each one is for two guitars.
Every note played on the first guitar corresponds to a note on the second.

GUITAR I
-9----------------------------------------------------------
--12-10-12-10----10-----------------------------------------
--------------12----12-11-12-11-9-11-9----9-----------------

-----------------7---7-6-7-6-4-6-4---4-------
-----------------------------------7---7-5-4-
---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------
                           Play this part twice.
                                 Then ....

-------------------------------------------17---17-16-17-16-14----

	i love this song. i remember this being an anthem for me when I was 16 years old. 1

No Picture Clay Average	#2 by Clay McGavisk at Jun 9, 2006 at 3:14 PM EST
	one of my favorite maiden songs! it's about living life on the edge, and about the restrictions of being a teen, yet rebelling against it and not caring.

No Picture Marco Average	#3 by Marco Torskyj at Jul 23, 2007 at 1:25 AM EST
	about a person who lives on the edge and likes it. one of iron maidens first hits, it was there first single released 23rd febuary 1980- reached 34 in the charts. it was also eddies first appearance on artwork it shows him at an alley with a broken bottle chasing this guy, eddie started out as just a japanese kabuki mask at first which on stage which would spill out this red liquid on to clive burrs head, derek riggs gave it a body and eddie is now a heavy metal icon. if you have this song listen to the guitar solo in the middle of it, it sounds like something bill and ted or waynes world would do during there films!
