It was the video about 10 songs that helped him learn to play bass. Starting with some of the easier songs he learned, working to harder songs. the Iron maiden song was one of the last ones.
I will see if I can find it, and start the link at the Iron Maiden song.

Hi, I just started playing bass this summer. I played the piano and violin before but not very well. Right now my goal is to play Hysteria by Muse.

Welcome to the forum @cryk . That’s a lofty goal you’ve set for yourself, but it’s attainable if you work at it. Take baby steps to get there and don’t get discouraged along the way.

Hi, everyone! Johnny StingRay here, new to the forum, but not new to bass.
I’ve been playing since 1976. My experience includes classic rock, rock-a-billy, old school country with 80s country thrown in (especially Randy Travis 
), jazz standards, and praise.
My first band was named “The Headlights”, but didn’t stay with them long because I got married and moved from Detroit to L. A. to teach. My most recent gig I spent 13 years as bassist for “Grace On Fire” back in the Detroit area. That ended just before the pandemic.
Now I’m just a hobby bassist focused on improving my jazz walking and improvisation skills on the classic jazz standards.
I retired in June after a 39 year career as a special education teacher in L. A. and Detroit, and the last 8 years as a test prep teacher/tutor.
I’ve been married for 39 years, 2 sons, 2 daughter-in-laws, two grandkids. My wife is also an educator, specializing in working with autistic students. My grand-daughter is 6 and her prized possession is an Alvarez acoustic guitar that a dear friend of mine gave to her before he passed away from brain cancer last year.
One claim to fame is that I met Charles Mingus just as I was starting to learn to play bass. I was fortunate enough to talk to him for a good fifteen minutes before a show he played at Michigan State University. He told me this, “Kid, get it in your head that you will never stop learning to play.”
My other claim to fame is that I also met and had a wonderful conversation with Lester Bowie of the Art Ensemble Of Chicago. That was also at MSU. He told me to never stop learning and to always strive for freedom. Right before he went on stage he said, “Well, time to go to work!” He got on stage, looked at me and said “Be free, John!”……….I was hoping to meet Malachi Favors, but their set was so intense that all the members looked exhausted at the end of the show.
My gear: EBMM StingRay 5, black metallic flake body and head stock. D’Addario Chromes. GKMB112, Boss ME20B.
I look forward to being able to never stop learning on the Bass Buzz forum. I hope I didn’t write too much.
