That is pure genius. I think everyone who plays guitar should watch this. In fact, everyone who likes music should watch that. I almost cried when I first saw this.
Dave Murray&Adrian Smith are IMO the best guitar duo in the history of rock music. Murray usually plays very smooth and fast legato based solos with the neck pickup. He is also a very melodic guitar player. (You can notice that on the video on 3.05-->) Smith's solos are usually little bit slower than Murray's, but they are more melodic and he plays them on the bridge pickup, which produces very different solo sound compared to Murray's. Together, these two British fellas are brilliant.
This video was recorded in 1986, when Iron Maiden was on their world tour for the Somewhere In Time-album. You heard right. 1986. The guitar sound for the Somewhere In Time album and on this video, is ages ahead for the "regular" 80's guitar sound. Too bad that Maiden never does that kind of guitar solos on their gigs nowadays.
Well, I just thought that I'd share this. Enjoy.
PS. Yes, I am obsessed with Iron Maiden and brilliant guitarists

That was amazing. It really shows how much these guys know about music to be able to create something like that.

Re: The best guitar part ever made
It's good to see that someone else respects this too ;)
And I forgot to say, if I'm not terribly wrong, that performance is fully improvised!! Okay, I think the dual solo thing and the melody parts are not improvised but the solos pretty much are.
