Hello Stuart!!!! Im from spain and a spanish guitar player. Not a professional one, but as the best hobby in my life. I love your videos and I want to see more from you!!!!! :) Nice voice, nice explanations, nice tone and relaxing time listening to you :) Please, don't stop making your videos
You've also proved a theory ive had since junior high school: Heavy Metal has plenty of great songwriting, impeccable chord changes, emotive vocals & lyrics, and technical mastery of their chosen instrument. Its a shame that this theory has taken flight only so recently. You should be proud!! Sean Black
At school, circa 1994-1997 I repeatedly submitted maiden, Pantera, sabbath and machinehead lyrics for English homework if we had to write poems. Always got high marks. Luckily I was the only rocker in the class.
As a life-long Maiden fan, but a beginner guitar player, I was always scared of trying to learn their songs. But your beautiful arrangement and calm teaching style makes this timeless classic look easy. A big thank you, and keep up the good work!
No no no, learn their songs!!! I started out learning Maiden songs along with a few others and its an invaluable way to learn how to play and hear. Do not fear, pick up your guitar and DO IT! ❤️🎸
Stuart, You Weasted Years version is one of my best music for relaxing these days. Just today got the feeling, that I will learn it to play, in the last months I concentrated to electric guitar, this song will be perfect to push me back a bit to the acoustic "world". Thank You for Your songs, I'm waiting for the next covers :)
Thank you sir..This song and, oddly your version, grabs my heart. It inspired me to do the things that i sometimes take for granted, like spending time with the family and friends who could be gone forever in the blink of an eye. I have loved this song for decades, but somehow hearing it from you gave it a new perspective.
Stuart, dropping you a note to say how impressed/moved I was by your version of Wasted Years - it was brilliant. Both vocals and guitar are spot on. The fact that you've now uploaded a tutorial means I have no excuse in not trying to nail this one myself. Absolutely first class interpretation, mate - bloody well done! ❤
Haha, I watched your arrangement of this song and decided I wanted to play it. Imagine my delight to see that you came up in my search for a tutorial. :)
Thank you so much. I'm glad you like it and it gives me much pleasure to know I've helped just a little 😊 Thanks for listening and commenting it makes my day 😊 🎸
I really like this tutorial. I feel really confident in the intro, but I’m still trying to figure out the hybrid picking for the rest of the song. I don’t suppose you would make a supplemental video showing the finger picking for the body of the song. It’s really beautiful btw.
Thanks Tyler I'll have a think although my right hand finger technique is very free, not always using the same fingers for the same string etc. Anyway I'll give it some thought. Thanks for listening and commenting 😊
Thanks for taking the time to do this tutorial. I've heard this song countless times, but your version "struck a chord" with me . Well done good sir! Sitting with my guitar now practicing.
Absolutely beautiful…..Thank you, Stuart! I am an advanced beginner, I understood everything! You opened my ears to strum’n around acoustically with great poetry rock songs! Great Job! Las Vegas, NV USA.
Oh my O my Mr. Clifford, I just blindly stumbled upon one of your videos (Waysted Years/Iron Maiden) and I still have the chills! Then "Needle and the Damage Done" by Neil Young. Now I gotta deal with the hairs on the back of my neck standing up!?! Thanks buddy. Now I'll never sleep tonight!! Cheers to you, my friend! Sean Black
I've been listening to Iron Maiden most of my life, and this might be my favorite song of theirs. Your cover is one of the best I've ever heard. Very helpful tutorial for those who would like to try it themselves. Amazing job!
Thank you so much!! I’m picking up my guitar again after over a year because of seeing your wasted years version. I’m in love with it! So happy you did this!
Oh thank you I hope you were able to follow it. It's very pleasing to know I can share in this way 🙂. Thanks for listening and commenting it makes my day 😊 🎸
I was waiting for the hoover to start in the background.. then the door opening followed by "Stuart, lift your feet up..." 🤣🤣🤣 I had to put a red light on my studio door accompanied by a threat of death notice.
Haha thanks Andy. So you have the same experiences as me 🙂. Most of my videos are made whilst the wife is in the shower 🤣. Thanks for listening. I'll see if I can find your channel? 🙂🎸
@@stuartclifford8795 Your videos are fantastic buddy, Wasted Years was the first one i stumbled upon. I was very much into Iron Maiden as a teenager back in the 90's. I do play a bit, i'm a drummer more than a guitarist but although i've done a bit of busking in the past my singing voice isn't something i would want to unleash on the world. I was in a band a few years ago and i used to do a fait bit of recording and production work for people, hence the home studio. I still do a bit and a bit of video production but it's more of a hobby than anything else. I do have a 16 track setup though and occasionally create drum tracks or add strings etc to guitar or vocal tracks for people or autotune their vocals. I have a portable 16 track DAW as well for recording bands live. Gimme a shout if you ever want anything adding to any of your recordings, it would be a pleasure to assist 🙂
@@AndyMcGeever wow thanks. I was In a band back in the 60's and I did a bit of gigging in the 80's, but now I just love to learn new songs. My son told me to start a YT channel during lockdown because I was learning new stuff with no-one listening. No-one is more surprised than me at the number of people listening and commenting, and I love it. Both musically and chatting to friends like yourself. So for me it's very simple, I just pick up my guitar and play. To coin a phrase it makes an old man very happy. 🙂 Thanks for listening my friend 🙂🎸
@@stuartclifford8795 You are very welcome Stuart and i completely understand. The offer is always there though and like yourself i do music for the love of it so it would never involve payment. I enjoy production and learning production as much as playing and they are both fields that we are never done learning in. If you ever wanted to put an album together and i can help let me know. Music is about sharing enjoyment and like most things is only ever tainted when you involve money.
@@AndyMcGeever well thanks Andy, I'll bear that in mind. And I totally agree, I've had the offer of becoming a YT partner and earning, but I'm declining. It's not the reason I do it. I suppose I'm lucky as I'm retired and financially comfortable. Also I'm sure it would involve a degree of admin. I spent 45 years as an accountant so the last thing I need is admin 🤣. Thanks again and I hope you have as much fun with your hobby/passion as I do with mine. All the best my friend, lovely to chat with you 🙂🎸

Thank you, sir. Had great fun learning how to play this song❤
Hello sir I commented before what a beautiful version you did if I may say I’ve been listening to iron maiden for my whole life it seems. There is something about your version that just makes some of the people who have commented including myself I think your version is such a wonderful piece I only want to hear yours now. Now the tutorial I will be on that one can only hope to do such a wonderful job thanks so much for sharing with us very nice of you. Have a great day!!
i like how that riff at the beginning really abolish in to the EMinor this song reminds me of Rory gallagher tattood lady backwards he plays EM C Dminor. I can understand where Iron maiden got their influences from and also Thin Lizzy Emerald Massacre. Rory gallagher plays the D open riffing kind of same but bit more lower down without hitting the high E string. Thanks for the lesson. Also the G part reminds me of Im a loner by kansas.
Thanks, Stuart - a very cool and reverent acoustic arrangement of a timeless rock anthem! Going to dig into this just as soon as my new parlor guitar gets back from the luthier!
Thanks Dennis. A bit like patting your head and rubbing your tummy 😀. It's nice to help people along and spread the joy of learning music. Thanks for listening and commenting it makes my day 😊 🎸
I want to thank you for making me feel young again ,I immediately rushed and grabbed my one of my acoustics,silly me this one is tuned to open G ,I thought to myself I don't suck this bad and then I realized I had the wrong guitar lol😅 I've shared you on my facebook,cheers mate
Hi Stuart. Excellent piece of work here. Thanks entirely to this tutorial I've been able to add this song to my repertoire. I've recently been looking for the sorts of songs that I hadn't normally played, and this one worked brilliantly. Love what you did with the opening riff and managed to get it down fairly quickly. Many thanks!
Hello Stuart, First may i say how i really enjoyed your version of this song. I can't stop listening to it. Thank you for making this tutorial🙏. I'm going to have so much fun trying to learn it. I'll be playing it on my baritone ukulele. Greetings from a Dutchman.
Wow. I was going to ask you for tabs and then i seen this. You have done me one better and made my for seeable future thank you again! Keeo them coming by the way you are great at what you do🎉
I can't believe you also did a tutorial!! You are the best ❤ Me and my friend are going to cover this with close harmonies. Thanks so much!
