[FORUM GAME] Maiden your way

Murder of Rue Morgue

They're never gonna find me!
Have you ever felt that a riff, a verse, a melody, any kind of passage in Iron Maiden music could be written in a different way?

Adding or taking out notes and/or embellishments, with a different arrangement... anything goes!

I'll go first by sharing how I would have written this riff of The Red and the Black. It's the riff which opens the instrumental section.

Instead of:

Code:
  93.          94.
e ||...------- || ---------------------- ||
B ||...------- || 12~-----12-13~--12---- ||
G ||...-12-14- || -----14------------12- ||
D ||...------- || ---------------------- ||
A ||...------- || ---------------------- ||
E ||...------- || ---------------------- ||

I'd do:

Code:
  93.          94.
e ||...------- || ---------------------- ||
B ||...------- || 12~--------13~--12---- ||
G ||...-12-14- || -----14-12---------12- ||
D ||...------- || ---------------------- ||
A ||...------- || ---------------------- ||
E ||...------- || ---------------------- ||

It applies to the lower octave of course:

Code:
  93.          94.
e ||...------- || ---------------------- ||
B ||...------- || ---------------------- ||
G ||...------- || 04~--------05~--04---- ||
D ||...-05-07- || -----07-05---------05- ||
A ||...------- || ---------------------- ||
E ||...------- || ---------------------- ||

Now your turn!
 
I'm super confused right now, because the top tab is wrong, while your correction is what they actually play lol

The correct tab would be:
Code:
  93.          94.
e ||...------- || ---------------------- ||---------------------- ||
B ||...------- || 12~--------13~--12---- ||---------------------- ||
G ||...-12-14- || -----14-12---------14- ||-14-12~--14~----12-14- ||
D ||...------- || ---------------------- ||---------------------- ||
A ||...------- || ---------------------- ||---------------------- ||
E ||...------- || ---------------------- ||---------------------- ||

Went through it multiple times and I'm 100% sure.
