Bass Teacher REACTS to IRON MAIDEN's 14-Minute EPIC "Rime of the Ancient Mariner"

FULL-ALBUM Reactions, Lessons & More 👉 https://www.patreon.com/LowEndUniversity --------------------------------------------------- ➡️ Honestly, I was a pretty passive Iron Maiden fan growing up and only owned a few albums, but I always had massive respect for bassist Steve Harris and his chops of steel. 1984's "Powerslave" was never in my collection, and I didn't realize that "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" was an epic 14-minute suite! I discuss how the song is a full-blown encyclopedia of bass techniques, how Steve carefully controls the energy of each riff as it develops, the way the band uses riff transitions to slowly intensify the song, a music theory breakdown of the interlude, Steve's variety of plucking techniques, and much more! --------------------------------------------------- 0:00 Intro 1:20 Reaction / Analysis 26:53 Final Thoughts --------------------------------------------------- 📺 MORE REACTIONS: ▶️ "POWERSLAVE" - https://youtu.be/dU5uEkyB_S0 ▶️ "TO TAME A LAND" - https://youtu.be/GmpHmxqsOZg ▶️ BLACK SABBATH: https://youtu.be/VPL9rXx6qCI --------------------------------------------------- Mark Michell is an internationally-touring and recording bass player known for his work with Scale the Summit, Tony MacAlpine, Tetrafusion, Watermox, and more.
