[@Rookarr]

What rhymes with masses? Ozzy Osborne: masses!

[@Augrills]

Pretty sure Geezer wrote the early songs

[@mrfriedpickle7495]

The original lyrics actually went: Witches gather at black masses, Bodies burning in red ashes. The studio changed it up if i recall correctly

[@bossman.mp3]

Ik its kinda goofy but i’ve always seen it as a play on words. “Generals gather in their masses” a bunch of generals gathering together. “Just like Witches at black masses” this time masses being like a church service.

[@JoshLousk]

just in time, i’m a massive hendrix and beatles fan (plus nirvana, smashing pumpkins) and many more, i’m just getting into black sabbath i am you

[@backseatpalace]

That Gibsons makin me feel some type of güey

[@visakhc6352]

9:15 "oh by the way KZbin Poop you can use that" 😂😂😂 gotta love Marty

[@onechungascheeto4278]

Awwww yeahhhhh

[@tedfitzgerald3153]

Sweet!

[@ampersandmcvinegar5681]

Thanks, Marty!

[@jamessillas3026]

how about the better call Saul theme? I think that needs a lesson

[@RickWalton71]

You're killing it!

[@mayurpathak7347]

Love this song 😈

[@In0centz]

Listening to this I really wish I didn't have short stumpy gorilla hands and fingers!

[@rocker8692]

Did Iommi's sg have p90's on it?

[@303MoTo]

YES!! Ah yes, Toni Iommi, putting 5 songs worth of catchy riffs into one tune. Thanks for doing this one. A favorite for sure!!!

[@kalebnelson4569]

Iommi is awesome.

[@bigdthahawtstxff8992]

Thank you Marty for the continuous lessons that never disappoint! I am a beginner and I have already been able to learn classic songs thanks to you! you're my hero

[@mcgraw9659]

Who else heard the siren and bass when he was doing the intro? Rock on Marty!

[@antro_oner]

Yup, got a little sweaty too.

[@wataboutya9310]

Tony Iommi invented that style of playing which many blew off back in the day as being to fundamental. Thing is they were proven wrong as he has a unique sense of timing and plays lead guitar like no one else. The story of how he lost two of his fingertips on his fretting hand is just incredible. The thing is he he kept playing and I believe his style is heavily influenced by those missing fingertips. Let’s face, most of us would have hung it up that point. The fact that he didn’t, and became a very wealthy man after being raised in a government housing estate in Birmingham, England. Says a lot about the man’s character. Good tutorial!

[@petersingh486]

It's a part of the Brummie character to just keep carrying on, we don't change direction.

[@janneelias]

Thank you for the lessons, Marty! You've been a huge help since 13 years. I learned my first songs from you, and still like to learn songs from you! I can guarantee they are played the right way, and I don't need to figure things out by ear if I'm in a hurry :)

[@MartyMusic]

Rock on!

[@nedrichardson6660]

Like myself, so many of us share almost the exact same story. You are truly an American hero Marty!

[@brewgazer]

Yes this comment and I’m 26 now it’s mind blowing how much he’s taught me

[@guitarpicker1393]

Didn't play for quite a while, learnt so many riffs from this guy in past couple weeks. Your a legend bro 🤘

[@joerogers1417]

Been coming back to Marty vids for nearly a decade now. Thanks Marty - you’re a hero. You’ve taught millions of people.

[@MartyMusic]

Thanks Joe

[@gabrielacevedo5803]

Marty can you do some Slipknot or KoRn?

[@JaredMdv]

I have been watching marty before I even owned a guitar

[@brock6745]

Any chance you could link the Katana patch you used for this tutorial?? Thanks Marty!

[@leonantikainen8470]

Hey Marty, how about Don't tell me you love me by Night Ranger. Great guitar song. Thanks

[@ronniehjr621]

Don’t mind me, I’m just here to learn learn that vocal melody and be on my way, Marty taught me this one well the first time around! Thanks for the refresher Marty!

[@jacobkempf6983]

Please do a tutorial on the vocal parts!! - love this lesson!!! rock on

[@ODDGUNNARLILLEBY]

Hey Marty. yhanks again for an great lession. And thanks for putting so much great stuff out for free. ive been playing guitar from age of 10 -20. total self-taught since i never could effort lessions. it was at that time very limited platforms to learn since that was way before youtube.i quite played for many years and picked up guitar again for about 2 years ago. you already made me better than i ever was for sure. youre not one of the guys, but the GUY. i cant tell you how much your videos mean to me. always smiling with great musical insight and ability to learn even me great songs. you really helped me thru a very hard times in my life, dude. please keep up your great work. and you show how to play with mortals fingers. thanks for the effort you give away in your videos. greeting from Norway

[@jcburger733]

Hey Marty, thank you for the War Pigs lesson. One of my favorite Black Sabbath songs. Appreciated!!

[@MartyMusic]

thanks for always supporting Joe!

[@500pizzarollsty8]

can you make a lesson on the volcole part you were playing. thanks for your work in helping guitarist play.

[@truevibecheck6927]

Hey Marty can you do the solo for paranoid?

[@brian69frmovale76]

This has got to be the most graceful tutorial I've seen.

[@broodingsoap9469]

Was it a coincidence? I was listening to War Pigs and this popped up in my feed lol

[@benicioss2609]

Imagine the repertoire of this guy

[@PHISH8]

Marty keep the videos coming. Love them… I have a Boss Kitana MKII and have been trying to get a tone like the one you have in this video. Can you post a picture of your amp to see where you have all the settings. I can’t seem to nail it…

[@hilbilydelux3710]

I honestly think that metal lesson Marty took reshaped how some of his playing is done he is at his peak right now awesome playing as always marty

[@WarrenAndrews-w5x]

I love you man! Thank you so much brother from Warren 😎

[@bobjeff8562]

Dude I’ve been waiting for this

[@AoHJamesy]

[@gettin_while_growin1512]

My boy said cha cha cha chia 😂😂😂😂 lmao

[@vinq8621]

Please do a Black Sabbath double feature with Paranoid! Or not, I’ll still watch because you’re a pillar of the guitar learning community and you really earned these views you absolute BAMF

[@austinnicolsonmusic711]

I was literally playing this song today good song

[@anastasisiatropoulos9310]

Easy

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

Great stuff. Satan laughing spreads his wings, oh yeah!!

[@davisplus8908]

[@joshnorko5586]

This lesson is absolutely phenomenal

[@ChristopheOosterwijk]

War Pigs is such a f*cking awesome song by Black Sabbath, I could listen to it every day for the rest of my life 🎸

[@polomarco8773]

Learning this after watching Metal Lords!

[@troy2322]

Thanks Marty! Classic Black Sabbath! Great lesson, keep more Sabbath coming!

[@sebiwinter2370]

Which strings you have?

[@xoulrage]

Patch link please.... Tq

[@timbiesterveldmusic9279]

How do you have your amp set for this song because I have the same amp and I love the sound

[@theclassicrock8644]

your ac/dcs Angus young guiter sounds very rocking.nice lesson to play on the guiter.👍🎸🔊🎵🎶.

[@drvee1983]

With all due respect to Tony Iommi, the first solo is Page on an SG at 20:11. In '70' ? If I was playing? I'd be doing Page also. I'd say Tony is pretty happy he broke his Strat on the first Sabbath album after recording their first track and went to his second guitar for the rest of the album. I haven't seen him play his Strat since the '68' Jethro Tull performance. What would his sound be without an SG? Great Job Marty!! Thanks for posting!!

[@lude-N-lopsided]

From the viewers point of view, it’s much more helpful for beginners if you hold steady tempo when teaching. 6:55 I know a half hour of repetition can get tiresome but drilling the tempo was the MOST important aspect when I was taught. Looking back, I am so grateful that fundamentals were prominent in each lesson

[@theobaldINsorrow]

amazing song and lesson. But you know what? Bass line in this song is also absolutely amazing. The whole song is masterpiece, all instruments including vocal.

[@MrWorsterLike]

You play that chibson just like Thomas Irony would have wanted... RIP to the 🐐

[@D.E.Middleton]

Thanks Marty

[@Hradeck_1]

@ 11:02 "wanky vibrato lick" Don't think you meant it this way, but that's quite an insult to throw at a guitarist (AUS, NZ and UK) . Top lesson, as always. Thanks Marty

[@arranpattison5809]

A Toni Iommi masterpiece... Thanks for breaking it down!

[@stevehanson2398]

Hi Marty. Thanks for another great tutorial. This is one of my favourite songs ever. I'm so glad you showed me how to play it. You don't know it but you've been teaching me for a while. I've been a subscriber for a few years now. Keep them coming, Marty👍🏻😁👍🏻 Greetings from England🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@morsebaittackleco.5250]

Seeing this reminded me to tell you, that it'd be cool to get a lesson on N.I.B.

[@ivanterrible7362]

Now do it on ukulele.

[@jamesw7624]

Anyone else having trouble with too much feedback from the low E it’s over powering everything and I’m not sure how to fix it

[@lillybisset1645]

I would LOVE to see a tutorial for “Brand New Key” by Melanie! You’re the best Marty!! (Seriously I’ve learned so much from you, I can’t thank you enough)

[@randyhosier8948]

Can't wait to play this one when I get in today 👍💯

[@vids595]

I feel the tempo if way off, you need to play to a backing track.

[@Bl00DmixedWithPoison]

Thank you so much Marty, I’ve been a long time supporter of this channel I love all of the work and effort you put into helping us aspiring musicians! Cheers mate

[@sillycabig3518]

I’m new to guitar as I’ve only been playing for 1 month, any advice on what I should focus on ?

[@excusemeumiloveu2531]

practicing scales maybe? it helped me a lot

[@sillycabig3518]

@@excusemeumiloveu2531 okay thanks

[@grahamnorris8347]

Spot on bud!

[@kowii]

AH damnit! i wanna play so bad but my family is sleeping

[@cormacflynn7827]

excellent tutorial marty !

[@KB24toogood]

I’ve been wanting to learn this classic. Thanks Marty 😃

[@fin6364]

[@terrylusero9078]

Marty can you teach Laguna Sunrise sometime?

[@mescalito2178]

Hi marty can you do a lesson about Computer god?

[@herrdesai6853]

[@zombified3362]

Yo this is great. Can you do headless cross too?

[@timmather8313]

Any chance you have the TSL file for that Katana?

[@d.e.sproductions1838]

WOWW AMAZING LESSON WISH I FOUND THIS SOONER

[@Gameup2332]

when i hammer on or pull ooff i dont get a sound u cant hear it

[@brewgazer]

I feel like I’ve seen your videos my whole life 😅

[@michaelcortese9246]

does he teach that vocal riff he plays after the intro? I would love to learn that!

[@benwilkinson6616]

Marty, you are an amazing teacher. Found you about 12yrs ago. I've bought your DVD lessons and learned almost every song I play from you. Just wanted you to know your great buddy

[@neumichel]

It's 15 beats if you are going to do it the way you describe it. Not 14. For some reason you are putting a rest in before you start counting. It should go Buh-Duh-One-Two....etc Not Buh-Duh- - One -Two

[@DomThePsy]

wow i just got new strings on my e guitar and started again after 10 years no playing. i kept practice a few weeks with my classical guitar, and I can play a few songs now :), also freestyle^^ now youre my best teacher to get into e guitar again :) If i was young, i played about 5 years with classical guitar, but i never had a really good understanding for my e guitar. Now a new aera will begin :D

[@ff5973]

great tutorial, thanks Marty!

[@letemband]

I love Marty and thank you. If all the vids indicated the BPM and explained the rhythm structures would be amazing. Gratitude for all the hard work.

[@ShaggyFo20]

Do a lesson on the vocal licks you have going. I’ve gotten most of it down by watching ur fingers and playing by ear but I’m missing a few notes help. Lol thanks Marty

[@davidhoffmann6040]

My god, i did that powerchord D, E, G, F#, F, E on the A string 😅 and i used a full Em down up stroke 😂 thx u for ur lesson 👍

[@stephendavis5530]

Check out the Paris 1970 live version of this. Absolutely mind blowing! 😎🎸🎸

[@sterlingmcvay2469]

That Katana sounds Great!! I'm Contemplating getting their Headphones for Practice.

[@clover.3685]

I’m definitely not an advanced guitar player and other videos breaking down this song used terms that I don’t even know and we’re so co fusing. This video breaks it down so well. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Cthulhu_Awaken]

I also liked your old version of this lesson, when you made a fake RP English accent when introducing Luke's Wall! 😊

[@ACE-hv5sw]

Probably my favorite Sabbath song and started playing guitar because of it. It’s only been 4 months playing but this has helped learn most of it and will eventually try the solos.

[@Hauntedhaydon]

Play blood and thunder by mastodon
