"Paranoid" Guitar Solo Lesson and Analysis - Black Sabbath

[@nevillegreg1]

It's seems so simple and so basic because the song was written on the fly in the studio after they laid the album and written in only 30 minutes when it was mentioned to band that they didn't have a single to be released. Sometimes simple and basic just works, what a great song. Tony had the riff, the drummer wrote the lyrics, Ozzy was reading the hand written words during the recoding. Brilliant.

Hard to beat simple when it also happens to be that good 👍

[@dreddiefleming]

Thank you for going beyond the usual "now this fret number on this string and then this other number..." talk of many guitar tutorials and doing a bit of theory with the pentatonic and its boxes, the slide to this other box that was still the E minor pentatonic but in the other shape etc. etc. That's what makes a great tutorial: understading *why* Iommi (or whoever) did this or that, not merely the mechanic replicating of the fingers. This is what makes us learn and grow as musicians. Thank you again!

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Thank you! That's how I like to teach because I know that's what helped me so much in the past.

[@theindianmetalhead]

please make more classic rock tutorials... oh, and the rhythm singing part, was really helpful. thanks!

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Thanks! I haven't been focussing on songs here as much but I might start to later this year.

[@theindianmetalhead]

@@GuitarLessonsVancouver I would love that! Thanks!! 🙏🏻

[@FORTHEPI]

Thank you for making this video. Probably the most complete tutorial I have been able to find. Thank you for including both the scales and the tabs while you narrate, it makes following along easier! I would recommend also maybe leaving a couple of notes about how you achieved the tone too if I may make a suggestion. Great Videos!

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Much appreciated thanks. Can't remember how I got that tone though sorry. That video is some time ago.

[@davidruane8940]

These videos are really good and informative ! Thanks for posting this

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Glad you like them! More coming this weekend 🎸😎

[@brianlarsen6242]

Massive thanks for the really excellent breakdown. I also find that understanding the pentatonic underneath changes things from random memorization to within the scale, a lot fewer notes. These are why I joined you on patreon.

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Thank you! I appreciate your support. See you on Patreon :)

Necesitaba ayuda y solo tu me pudiste resolver mis dudas muchas gracias!🎉🎉🎉

[@FasionJoce]

Hello. A huge thank for your video. Really helpfull 🙏

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks!

[@philchapman1463]

Great lesson! Getting the rhythm right (1/8 notes, 1/16 notes etc.) and signing to help are great tips! There's a interesting groove to it with little short breaks (or instant pauses??) inserted amongst the solo. When these are placed correctly it all comes together.

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Cool well done!

[@patrickdarby-sheehan5368]

Would you believe it...I am actually 'trying' to learn this particular song. I have cracked the rhythm guitar section...but the solo is really fast. I am practising at 50% tempo and working my way up...your lesson is a great bonus for me. Thank you.

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Awesome, well done! Lots more guitar lessons on the channel too :)

Cool thank you!

[@lesliecumberland834]

Did they get the lick from an Irish jig Rorary Gallager or Thin Lizzy maybe

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Could be! That's a thought, it does sound like it could have come from that.

[@themax6589]

Can I have picking technique for this solo? Please

[@Sherman1862]

Hey Blue, could you please do a lesson on the Title Track from AC/DC 1977 Album "Let There Be Rock"?? In particular, Angus's Solos.. Just a suggestion, it's a great Classic Rock dandy of a Tune.. ; ) Thank You!!! Keep on ROCKIN' and cranking out Awesome Content!!! : ) And please have a great day!

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Thanks Sherman, I've been thinking about doing some more videos about specific songs. The trouble is, sometimes KZbin will give you a copyright strike. That being said, I can test it out for "Let There Be Rock," ... a good song for sure :)

[@Sherman1862]

@@GuitarLessonsVancouver Thanks Blue, I totally get it about the Copywrite Strike.. All Good either way.. Thanks for trying.. I saw that your Westie made a cameo appearance in one of your videos "Flying Down The fretboard" I think.. I used to have a Westie! My fav small Pup as they are great dogs and full of pluck and piss and vinegar. Great Prey Drive and outstanding Ratters".. Now I have Giant Schnauzers.. on on my 5th one.. I need to go run them now before The Niner Game.. Beat Dallas, lol) But if I ever get another small Dog, it will be a Westie!!!! I saw al ot of them when I was visiting Scotland in 2018.. Anyway! Enjoy your Sunday Blue! I'm enjoying reading and practicing along with your Book I bought.. Prob will buy the Strumming one at some point.. Ok! "Keep on Rockin'"!!! Ltr Bro!!! : )

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

@@Sherman1862 Thanks Sherman! Indeed Ringo the westie has received a few cameo appearances. Perhaps I'll get him in on a few more :)

Brilliant video please do suicide solution by Randy Rhoads.

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Thank you! I don't know that one but I'll have a listen. I don't do a lot of these song analysis videos on YT lately. But I'll check out that song. Thanks for watching.

[@markdavidson4175]

You ever use the pinky?

[@GuitarLessonsVancouver]

Sometimes when I really need to. Or at the lower frets whete the stretch is further.
