Aces High intro never sounds right?

[Stratovarious]

Ok so after I saw Iron Maiden a couple weeks ago

i went home in a huge maiden trip

and i realized i had never tried to play Aces High
so i thought what the hell

and every tab ive found sounds weird
like
i dont know

maybe it HAS to be in harmony with another guitar to sound right?
but its a badass riff

can anybody clear this up?

post a tab or tell me whats what

Usually, Maiden's harmonies are minor or major thirds, perfect fourths or fifths. I think maybe you just need to hear it played with more than one guitar? If you any way to record yourself and double-track, just play a line or two to see if the tabs are right. There are probably quite a few good tabs because the harmonies aren't that complex.

It IS harmonized. And it has a funky beat/emphasis that changes. Starts with like beat four as a pickup.

Go there to the Power-tab that has 5 stars from 8 ratings ( the [8] will show up like that).

I gave it a quick listen and it sounds fine, the bass helps to round out the song and define chords.
