Iron Maiden – Afraid To Shoot Strangers | FULL Guitar Playthrough (Gers/Murray Style)

🎸 Afraid to Shoot Strangers – Iron Maiden | Full Guitar Playthrough (Custom Strat Tribute)
👇 Full description below 👇

Welcome back to another Maiden-inspired guitar session!
In this video I dive deep into Afraid to Shoot Strangers, one of Iron Maiden’s most atmospheric and emotional tracks. This version is fully improvised and recorded live in multitrack, with no edits or pre-written solos – just instinct, expression, and Strat power.

I’m using two custom-built Stratocasters I assembled myself, inspired by the iconic guitars of Janick Gers and Dave Murray. Their influence can be heard in the melodic phrasing, dynamic changes, and contrasting guitar styles that define this song.

This is not just a cover – it’s my personal take on a masterpiece. A moment of reflection, tension, and explosive release, just like Maiden intended.
