Also, compressors and EQ's in 2024 are just far superior at isolating the low-mid ends of bass nowadays.

    This song is nothing but power from everyone in the band, but the bass has always come off as the driving star of the show the whole time.
    The right hand gets DEVASTATED with fatigue if you're not conditioned enough and attempting the whole song. Like, by the solo section the whole hand is jelly AND has to play the most complicated, rapid picking/plucking/whatever in the whole song. John Myung and his forearms made of rebar, I swear hahaha

    You inspired me to join marching band back in high school and also get into production & composition. I'm currently working hard to make music my career.
    Anyways, I hope you continue to kick ass! I was really happy to hear that you're rocking in the Trans-Siberian Orchestra now. You're a huge inspiration to your fans. We will be patiently looking forward to your covers!

    • @coltonpugh9669
      @coltonpugh9669 11 месяцев назад

      Before I answer your question, I have to point out that what you are referring to as a triplet is in fact, not a triplet. The sound that Maiden became known for is the gallop. Which is still a bunch of three note sequences, but a triplet is not the same thing as a gallop. With that out of the way, Myung uses three fingers to play this. There is a live video on here that shows a lot of him on stage and he is certainly using his ring finger as well as index and middle.
