    The perfect harmony of the two completely different version of guitars on a magnificent melody...

    The amount of talent to convert this song over to classical guitar amazing. Nita was incredible as ever.

  • @haunter_1845

    It's always nice to see people with completely different techniques sit down and throw together something like this! Thomas was always watching for changes and Nita's subtle "nice" expression when he came in with the vocal melodies really made this something else! Thomas has such a casual confidence and mastery that is such a pleasure to listen to and Nita just keeps playing through things that throw me and other players off like when her guitar strap fell down at the end (always unwelcome). Keep up the great work both of you! :)

    It’s always awesome when you can see musicians enjoy what they are playing when they are performing. Even if it just a silly jam sesh. I have seen Nita perform with Alice Cooper and she always seems to FEEL the song, not just play it. Based on the live videos especially, Thomas does as well. I love that.

      @Itzsfo0 4 года назад

      Didnt like the guy. Boring most accoustic is. Song isnt good either. Rather hear someone on melotron or something...no percussion, no electronics, no keyboards. But everyones diff. Nowadays im over classic rock. Burned out rather hear Radiohead or Daft Punk or Gorillaz or Arcade Fire. Violins, keyboards, keytar, bongos, drum machine, melotron, odnes mardonet, a mixing of instruments...more interested in music borne out of computers. Industrial (Trent Reznor) or Joy Division, or Massive Attack. Synth work, etc. I want more then just guitar.

    Great duo! I love Nita Strauss, a heavy metal angel. Just saw her last month perform with Alice Cooper in Utica, NY. She's extremely talented and keeps the 80's metal tradition alive. The best guitarist I've come across in years. Alice and Sheryl should not give her up until they retire! The acoustic and electric guitar was wonderful, a great combination and added a beautiful touch on this classic Maiden song.
