This is my first internet-posted tab! Even so, I'll soon

be posting lots of other tabs of Maiden...WITH SOLOS!

On the solo to Dream of Mirrors, I have tabbed every

note that I can possibly hear. That being said, any

corrections are VERY, VERY welcome. I hope you

have fun with this, as it is very fun to play (but it's

HELL to tab out the solo as well as the rest of the

song when your computer keeps deleting your tab!).

Oh yeah, I forgot, for Guitar 4, a harmonizer can be

used to simulate the twelve-string effect. For this,

I recommend the Digitech Whammy pedal.
