After almost a whole year practicing scales and GMC lessons I thought it was time to give some real songs a try, so I took a tab of maiden's fear of the dark, and much to my surprise I can play all except the solos (which I haven't tried, but I suspect will be beyond my reach).
It's exciting being able to play almost the whole thing, so I wonder if this is one of maiden's easiest songs, and I'd like to know which other easy ones are there, to learn as many as I can. I *love* maiden, and it's a blast to play their riffs. I will eventually try the solos too. -------------------- Guitars:

The trooper is a good song to play and good practice for galloping rhythm.
I almost never pick out a solo note by note from a tab. I think that's useless really and a waste of time. The tab hasn't got any signatures for note length so I think it's better to listen and try to repeat. Pick up the tab when your ears can't figure out the note but only then. But that's me and I did my struggeling with solo tab so belive me, training your ears and play as good as you can is way better. Doesn't have to be exact. The important thing IMHO is to get the key notes on, then you could play half or one third of the notes and still make it sound like the original solo. if I remember right Prowler isn't that hard. I must confess I havn't played that many of their songs though

Nice, most of the songs you guys listed are classics, it's good to hear they are suitable for my level. It's going to be a blast playing all of them

Wasting Love from the Fear of the Dark Album is probably the easiest Maiden song ever. I love it.

Hallowed by the name, trooper and run to the hills are songs that I recommend, easy enough and good for practicing some classic riffage
