Tabs
Ste, [email protected] Here's my transcription of this song, chords & a bit of tabs. This is a brief comment I found in Baeleron's Iron Maiden Commentary (http://www.truemetal.org/ironmaiden/lyrics/index.html, don't ask me how I got there, I just don't know): "Judas Be My Guide is a short but incredibly catchy song with an excellent chorus and good guitar solos. This is one of Maiden's shortest song with lyrics, next to Futureal. I'm not sure what the lyrics mean though, or how Judas relates to them. It might be about the meaninglessness of life" I don't want to spend a word about the bullshit contained in the lyrics. If you like to think that nothing is sacred and nothing's ever been, this is really not my business. Anyhow... think of how powerful music is. This song makes you stand up and jump and shout... though you disagree with every single word Bruce sings. Now, music. >>>> Song structure & chords: All chords played like this: |||||| or like this: |||||| |*|||| *||||| |||||| |||||| ||**|| |**||| |||||| |||||| just find the right position.

>>>> Tabs Maybe one day I'm going to post the solos; I haven't figured them out yet. Just use the D MajorD pentatonic minor or the FF major scale.
