Steal These 4 Janick Gers of Iron Maiden Guitar Techniques | Licklibrary
We break down the 4 key signature guitar habits and playing styles of Janick Gers from Iron Maiden - the most erratic, yet conceptual player of the band.
In this Janick Gers guitar lesson, Leigh Fuge uncovers the most commonly used techniques and guitar styles that Janick Gers has been known to use while playing for Iron Maiden. VERY different to Dave Murray and Adrian Smith, his style is somewhat more fluid than his band members however his unique techniques are instantly recognisable.
Watch as Leigh shows us how Janick uses fast note flurries, double stops during solos, pick hand harmonics and showcases his unusual tremolo picking and accidental pinch harmonics. Learn how to play like Janick and see if you can replicate some of his iconic guitar moves.
