The Trooper
The Trooper's galloping rhythm and harmonized lead melodies defined the Iron Maiden sound. Murray's Stratocaster through a Marshall produces a bright, cutting tone with enough midrange to carry the twin-guitar harmonies. The tone is aggressive but not excessively distorted -- clarity is essential for the fast, galloping triplet picking patterns.
