Tips And Comments:
- Playing Technique: Played next to the fretboard (more even in choruses) to get a more percussive and round sound. Intensity in playing is quite hard in most parts except for the chorus (and intro, but not that much), in wich i use low dynamics. Just neck knob activated
- Gear Sound: For the whole song i use a guitar amp emulator, with a guitar cab too. Cut down most of the treble and bass and added lots of mid. Other settings vary through the song: For the intro i use lower gain and i set up a little bit of wah in the mix. For the main parts of the song i use high gain, same settings. Finally for the choruses i lower down the gain and add a little more of volume. All of this goes with some compression (not that much) and some other eq here and there
- About The Song: Please remember the most of the sound goes with the fingers, you probably could get most of the sound with half of what i did. It's hard to keep applying the same dynamics through the whole song, so be prepared to get tired easily. Smashing the strings isn't the answer tough, so please be careful with that. Transcribed from studio version with help on positions from live videos. I think the transcription went good, probably positions are not exact. I took the liberty to jam a bit a the end, i hope i doesn't bother you, lol

[@tikatraub6872]

do anything by iron maiden pls : p

[@brycebrantley6667]

Why didn't you write that solo at the end in the tab?

[@CoverSolutions]

It's just improvised at the recording session

[@sweatyswinger8818]

what are the small numbers beside the normal numbers? (as in ³5) what's its purpose because it just kinda seems to be the same as a hammer on. btw very nice jam at the end, good job👍

[@CoverSolutions]

in this case it's a hammer on, yes, but the difference it's that is interpreted as a "grace note". You have to do it as fast as you can so it sounds kind of like at the same time as the note following.

[@joshuadennison3320]

Finally someone did a video with the bloody solo at the start

[@dandroid98]

It's technically not the same song. The beginning part is called Bassically.

[@profilen5181]

In the US released version, yes...

[@hugostigglitz9639]

The bass solo is called basically.

[@Purplemonsteristhebestflavor]

Bloody right

[@edanlove3031]

you realize that that's just improv? The original recording is just imrovised on the E penatonic

[@andrewpappas9311]

This song is maybe my favourite Black Sabbath bass line to be honest, it's so awesome

[@JohnWilson-mp5xz]

I feel like learning this riff will graduate me from beginner to intermediate

[@otakugaming1130]

No no, the SOLO on the other hand 😂

[@BIadelores]

The song is actually pretty easy for the most part. Except for the solo...💀💀💀💀

[@memestopicxd7649]

have you learned it yet?

[@W7RSON]

The riff not so much, the solo though...

[@sirgallabad]

the solo will for sure

Holy shit. It's perfect. Please do more Black Sabbath, or any Iron Maiden.

[@008jopa]

Cthulhu I agree ✌

[@rohantiwari7801]

Maiden

[@testticklehead]

So many people fail to realize the beautiful bass lines and lyrics by Geezer.

[@nihilist1680]

I'm a guitarist and I my greatest inspirations are Geezer Butler, Cliff Burton, Lemmy Kilmister and Steve Harris.

[@shamerzaihan8638]

Lol same , and flea and les claypool for slap

you picked up the wrong instrument then my friend! 😂 ;)

[@KlumSyTurtl3]

I have 2 thumbs, but I cannot like twice. I find that disheartening.

[@robch.2901]

My favourite band ever. What a brilliant cover, Gezeer must be proud if he heard you.

[@stephenday9442]

The best Black Sabbath song, and also the greatest chorus in existence.

[@TheStrengthofBeer]

is that really what Geezer plays during the chorus???

[@kamatsutra7031]

The best Black Sabbath song is Wheels of Confusion

[@mateussilva635]

@@TheStrengthofBeer I also thought that it was descending E-D-C-B but I found after hearing this cover that staying on E is also very interesting! The beauty of this song is that structurally it's very simple so you can mix it up and improv a lot throughout it.

[@serath3563]

Black Sabbath basslines: 3 5 7 9

[@robertnagy3942]

i=3 E i+2 n=9

[@sandipbiswas766]

They're pretty complex, obliviously not Chris Squire complex, bit pretty complex. Their bass riffs are relatively simple

[@TritnewNG]

Regardless, Geezer is still a legend.

[@bradoozy]

Sandip Biswas Geezer played the hell out of them though. That’s what made them so great.

[@sandipbiswas766]

@@bradoozy Yup, love him! He's the reason I play bass

[@WillWilsonII]

Your channel kicks ass

[@alexhamilton4084]

I remember buying this album back in 1971 and hearing this for the first time. Absolutely awesome song. 👍🏻

[@Amp389x]

I do not understand how you can do this so frikin good man. Your so talented

[@Logan-dl2ce]

fuck off Ricky

[@mapletreegaming91]

Apoc 0239 I want to see him do the primus cover of this. (Yes, primus has done a cover of this with Ozzy fronting with the vocals.)

[@a_teopequeno6665]

One of the best intros of bass

[@dxgypsyful]

My god FINALLY somebody with a video that plays it right! Soooo many wannabes with their clunky halfassed versions that make my teeth hurt with every mispicked note. But you were spot on. Not just the notes but the feel and the groove were perfect. Best I've seen on KZbin.

[@williw.5815]

He's one of the unsung heroes of youtube. Mad respect to this channel

[@tristanblack6609]

It took me a long time to get this one right on bass . After many different tab books searches and videos and studying Geezer . About 10 years ago I finally got it nailed! I watched your tabs pretty closely and we play it pretty much exact just very very few minor differences. I sure wish I could have had this video years ago when I was trying to learn it. Awesome job man. How about The Writ ?

[@user-it1ju6br7p]

Tony and Geezer.Greatest pairing in rock music.Brilliant cover

[@The_Great_Letter_E]

This is such a great bass line. And there is plenty of pockets to sneak in a little bass solo too! I do that all the time. Wonderful job!

[@dnstap]

finally someone who pretty much has the tone right and plucks hard like geezer

[@paulstuartwilson485]

Geezer Butler is a fuckin' genius. And, and YOU CS are right there with him. Seriously bro thank you. God bless.

[@ivonneandrea4328]

The bass in this song is everything!! 💜

[@potatopanuntun1515]

One of the best bass intro of all the time 🔥🔥🔥

That ending! That was amazing! Well thanks for video

[@braydenhoxie8701]

I have watched the first 56 seconds of this song about a million times trying to learn the intro

[@konungredocsil657]

That intro I love. Great job.

[@luifranco1457]

Gracias maestro! The best bass covers/tabs on YT!

[@marygaleac]

Just the greatest baseline ever. Good job mate👍👍👍

[@lukejones5053]

Not after attention or anything, but I have a form of dispraxia that mainly really effects my hand and eye Co ordination, been learning bass a week & got half of the 'basically', not full speed but it's getting there 😊, so if I can do it, anybody can :) quite proud of myself 😂 thanks for the lessons dude 🤙🤙🤙

[@AsteraVirgo]

Love your videos man keep them coming please

[@MickyBane]

Geezer Butler, one of the greatest bass players ever. He was so creative and so heavy 🤘🏻

[@gabogorkin5578]

Just awesome. That intro is perfect.

[@kelvinrodriguezjr2184]

Anyone else spend an hour learning a section and then you play it in real time and realize you haven't even played for 30 seconds☹

[@admiralrng6506]

the human mind can only learn little by little, its natural hell it took me 2 months to finish my first song lmao

[@monke8225]

I’ve been learning this for two days an I can only play eight seconds lol

[@evanjohnson5480]

Well done. Great sound as well

[@briansachen1721]

One of my biggest influences when I chose the bass guitar as a youngun. Still standing the test of time yep

[@aidanmcilhenney6101]

Bro you crushed that good job

A job well done. I want to thank you................. Keep playing!

[@denischagas26]

Omg amazing cover guy, congrats!

[@mrelvispresley6977]

Good job, thanks. The beginning solo is basically improvised and so it is the rest of the song.. In fact is harder to imitate the same than improvise yourself.

cool one of my favorites song of Sabbath.. thanks
