The Trooper

by Bobby Koelble

Introduction

Tune into a guitar lesson on the classic heavy metal song "The Trooper" brought to you by Torrins, led by our expert instructor, Bobby Koeble. This song by the English heavy metal band Iron Maiden was released in 1983, and a live version of the song was issued in 2005.

Fun Fact: "The Trooper" by Iron Maiden was inspired by the famous Charge of the Light Brigade during the Crimean War in 1854. The song’s lyrics are based on Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s poem of the same name, which describes the bravery and tragic loss of British cavalry who were misled into a deadly Russian artillery ambush. The intense galloping rhythm of the song reflects the chaos and urgency of the battlefield charge.

Bobby breaks down this classic song lesson into the following parts to ensure a smooth learning experience for learners:

Introduction

Main Riff & Verse

Chorus & Song Arrangement

Solo 1- Part 1 & 2

Rhythm for Solos

Solo 2

Solo 2 using Whammy Bars

Discussion & Conclusion

Trooper with Backing Track

Chords Used in The Trooper Guitar Lesson

The chorus uses a D chord followed by a low E power chord.
The solos are in the key of A minor and use chords like G, and F, along with others.
There are harmony parts in the intro and main riffs, with techniques like pull-offs and whammy bar used in the solos.

Strumming Pattern

The song follows a fast-paced, galloping rhythm—a signature Iron Maiden style.
Bobby breaks down the strumming pattern and offers options for handling the harmony in the intro.
Beginners can start with a simple downstroke rhythm, while more advanced players can work on refining the galloping feel.

Song Structure

The song unfolds with a clear and consistent progression that keeps listeners engaged from start to finish. It kicks off with a high-energy intro riff, a fast-paced harmony section that repeats four times to set the tone. This leads into the main riff and verse, where the finger placements and note sequences are broken down for easy understanding.

From there, the momentum builds into the chorus, which delivers a bold shift in rhythm and mood. After returning briefly to the main harmony riff, the song moves into the second verse, introducing a slight rhythmic variation with a galloping feel that adds fresh texture.

The next pass through the chorus sets the stage for not just one, but two solo sections, each packed with expressive phrasing and technique. After the solos, the main harmony riff reappears, anchoring the listener before launching into the third and final verse. Finally, the track winds down with an outro that circles back to the familiar intensity of the intro, bringing the piece full circle with a satisfying sense of closure.

Improvisation Techniques

The solos are played in A minor.
Solo 2 includes whammy bar technique for added depth and expression.

Bobby ends the lesson by playing along with a backing track—a great way to practice and refine your playing.

Holy Diver

by Mike Walker

Holy Diver - Introduction

Holy Diver is one of the most iconic heavy metal songs ever recorded, serving as the title track of Dio’s debut album in 1983. Written by the legendary Ronnie James Dio after his stints with Rainbow and Black Sabbath, the song showcases his signature lyrical style—filled with medieval imagery, heroic themes, and battles between good and evil. The lyrics tell the story of a mysterious, divine warrior, often interpreted as a metaphor for spiritual struggle and redemption. Dio’s powerful, operatic vocals and Vivian Campbell’s crushing guitar riffs made the track an instant classic.

The music video, though dated by today’s standards, became legendary for its fantasy aesthetic, featuring Dio as a sword-wielding hero battling demons. The song’s mid-tempo groove, anthemic chorus, and unforgettable riff solidified its place in metal history. Over the years, "Holy Diver" has been covered by bands like Killswitch Engage and referenced in pop culture, proving its lasting influence. Ronnie James Dio’s performance on this track remains one of the greatest in metal, blending raw power with theatrical flair.

Holy Diver Guitar Lesson

Taught by Mike Walker, this lesson dives deep into playing "Holy Diver" in dropped C tuning (C-G-C-F-A-D), which gives the song its thick, heavy sound. The main riff, played by Vivian Campbell, is built around power chords (C5, G5, A♭5) and uses palm muting to create a tight, aggressive groove. The tuning allows for easy sliding between chords while maintaining a massive low-end presence.

The verse follows a C5 - G5 - A♭5 progression, with the riff emphasizing the open C string for a chugging effect. The chorus shifts to a C5 - G5 - F5 pattern, adding a melodic lift before returning to the main riff. The solo section is where Campbell’s playing shines—using the C minor pentatonic scale (C-E♭-F-G-B♭) with fast alternate picking and wide bends for dramatic flair. The harmonic minor scale (C-D-E♭-F-G-A♭-B) also appears in the solo, giving it a darker, classical edge.

For the rhythm parts, focus on tight palm muting and consistent downstrokes to match the song’s driving feel. The pre-chorus introduces a syncopated riff that requires precise timing—practice it slowly with a metronome before speeding up. The bridge features harmonized leads, where two guitars play complementary melodies, a technique Dio borrowed from his Rainbow days.

Beginners should start by mastering the main riff and power chords in dropped C tuning. Intermediate players can work on the syncopated rhythms and solo licks, paying attention to vibrato and bends. Advanced players should study the harmonic minor passages and experiment with adding their own fills.

FAQs

Q. How do I tune my guitar to dropped C for this song?

Lower your sixth string from E to C, fifth from A to G, and leave the rest in standard tuning (C-G-C-F-A-D).

Q. What scales does Vivian Campbell use in the solo sections?

Primarily C minor pentatonic (C-E♭-F-G-B♭) with touches of C harmonic minor (C-D-E♭-F-G-A♭-B) for a classical metal feel.
