Los Angeles born guitarist Nita Strauss (Alice Cooper, The Iron Maidens) recently spoke with Guitar Center and, in the clip below, shares how Iron Maiden's classic Fear Of The Dark record influenced her playing.
Strauss' critically acclaimed solo debut, Controlled Chaos, is an epic, 11-track journey of jaw-dropping technical proficiency and highly emotive songwriting. It went straight into the top ten on the iTunes Rock chart upon release on November 16, 2018 and debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top New Artists Chart, #3 on the Billboard Label Independent Chart and #4 on Billboard's Top Hard Rock chart.
