Tips And Comments:
- Playing Technique:
Played next to the neck with middle-high strength. Just neck pickup activated
- Gear Sound:
Added some bass and lots of mid freqs. Not much treble, or even cut a bit. Added high gain or some distortion pedal might work too
- About The Song:
Classic song and nice to play along to. Probably the hard part is getting the main riff well. Some stamina consumed also. Transcribed from studio version (original) and positions corrected with old live videos.
Need more tips? Just comment!

I am a HUGE Black Sabbath fan. I'm talking sitting alone in my room at 16 years old learning to play the guitar parts for their first four albums. This is absolutely, hands down the most accurate, authentic performance of Paranoid I have ever heard in my life. Your attack, your tone, the gain, it sounds like I'm sitting in their studio listening to Geezer's bass track on the master. Well fucking done sir.

[@hdioznwlxbaxklmxklm6590]

it is:))

[@federicogallo849]

The bass is the bone back of music. See: the best band in history, for any style: heavy? Punk? for example... bassmen make the difference Steve Harrys from Maiden, Dee Dee Ramones... even Metallica not was the same sound after lose Burton.

[@_KingofKingss]

Nice pic

@@idfk9578 Primus is Les Claypool and friends, it's like saying "I like funk cause I can hear bass there" when funk is basically driven by bass Also I love how he said that he doesn't like playing a 5 string cause he has to think when playing... yeah man sings and plays maddest bass riffs and doesn't even think about it ...

[@brunocrovi7327]

I'm french(excuse me if i make english mistakes hé hé)but i want to say that we always care about lead guitar in rock music,and often we forget the bass,but without the base drum-bass guitar,rock music lacks of depth.

[@Padre619]

Agreed, I was listening to The Four Horsemen last night and was listening to the bass drum sounding like a horse galloping, at first I thought it was a bass guitar but it sounded to repetitive musically, it didn't sound like something that could change audio pitch so I singled it out to be the bass drum. Then with bass guitar I listened and realized how flat and boring the song would be without bass, the bass adds much more variety and "flavor" to the music, it adds much more feel and in a way it kind of rings out in music a tiny bit longer than the guitar

[@chabadrien441]

Can be extremely frustrating learning as a medium beginner

[@zatouroff]

@@blunttime1089 if this thing is frustrating when you play, then it's perfect exercise for fingers and your brain tempo. Don't let yourself down, keep practice going on.

[@swissarmyknight4306]

@@blunttime1089 Take it slow at first and then work it up to tempo. You can do it, its just some work to get it right is all. Everything Geezer ever played is achievable and he'll teach you a lot about rock and metal bass.

I recommend you learn their song “Electric Funeral” first. It really improved my pinky and ring finger dexterity and it’s fun and not too hard (I’ve been playing for about 4 months)

[@lazyquokka666]

Firstly you need to practice with the scales

[@user-mp5gc1vc6d]

Im having trouble with that too! Maybe hammer on the 9's will help?

[@profile2047]

Don’t take short cuts. Just slow it down and gradually build up speed. Short cuts just mean you’re putting it off but will have to learn it some other time and/or you will never learn it. And it will sound weird to anyone who cares. (I’m referring to the recommendation to hammer on)

[@lowellchamberlain6618]

Stared at the tab for so long the 7's turned into eighth rests.

[@SweetKingCole]

[@pbarre35]

Awesome tone and awesome playing. My only criticism -- and it isn't really a criticism considering your version sounded really good -- is on the transition from E to D. Geezer plays the A-B-D-E transition down an octave so E5-E7-A5-A7 rather than D7-D9-G7-G9. However, like I said it sounds pretty awesome so I'm going to start incorporating both while performing this song. Should keep things interesting during what is otherwise a somewhat monotonous bass line.
