  Keep in mind that the strummed chords (x) at the end of the bars are
  
  played continuessly with the 1st chord of the beginning of the riff.
  
  I also play the strummed chord (upstroke, downstroke, upstroke) and
  
  very rapidly.

  Here is the tab for the solo in "Running Free" by Iron Maiden. The existing
  
  tab in OLGA is fine except that only one out of two guitar parts is tabbed.
  
  Cheers, Sergei.
  
  
  
  It's not really needed to tab the verses, bridges and the chorus. It's mostly
  
  variations on Em.
  
  Intro: Em G-F#-D-Em  C D      The chords from G to Em are 8th notes approx.
  
  
  
  Verse:Em C D Em G A  etc
  
  
  
  Chorus: Em G D-Em C D
  
  
  
  
  
                               RUNNING FREE
  
                                   (solo)
  
  I tabbed it as two parts, each one is for two guitars.
  
  Every note played on the first guitar corresponds to a note on the second.

  You guys can easily figure out when to play the last two licks.
  
  
  
  Have fun with it and tell me if there are mistakes in the tab. (Eddie, I hope
