Genre: Heavy Metal
** Heaven and Hell is a song I found using Spotify's Discover weekly. I was playing a game and heard it come on and thought to myself "That sounds like Dio". After my game was over, I went back and found the song and it was Black Sabbath, not Dio. I was a bit confused, but I remembered that Black Sabbath continued after Ozzy left the band, so I started to look it up and Lo and Behold! The singer was Dio! I really like the song and listen to it a lot now. It took me a while to get the song ready to record though. I spent about a month on that last sections after all the hammer-ons. The speed and finger patter was pretty tricky to get right, but I was finally able to get it. I should have gotten it sooner, but I have to focus on my classes first
Thanks for watching! Enjoy :)

[@ChrisCooney236]

Great job! That was dead on. Thank you for the tab. That was very helpful too. And thanks for going the extra mile by posting the tone settings at the end. (I'm looking forward to hearing that on my SVT.) Just one little thing... Could you possibly post that played on a 4 string (as Geezer did)? I just can't not see that low B.

[@jasonbryant.bassguitarplay3641]

Nice.. I never really tried to play this before until 5 mins ago. And it's pretty clear that OZZYs vocals never pushed Geezer to play a bass like this song is hammered down like a beast.... 🤘 Dio in SABBATH WAS BADASSED🤘

[@shadowcat0201]

Dio is the best Black Sabbath vocalist imo.

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

I've just started Ozzy's biography and I didn't know that Geezer started out on guitar and switched to bass (and not because he was bad at guitar either)

[@jasonbryant.bassguitarplay3641]

@@SamboatMusicBassCovers I wanna know who showed Geezer those chops he put to his lyrics

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

I just recently found out he started as a decent guitar player (I was reading Ozzy Biography) and so it probably stems from just being a great player and learning to practice better than others

[@sebastianberndt4756]

NIce playing, just learned the song from this video :) Can you do SPACER by Sheila, Cant find the tabs anywhere

Great job, nice gallop. 😎👍

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

Thank You :) I tried working on it so I can work up to some Iron Maiden and Steve Harris one day

[@ThunderBassistJay]

@@SamboatMusicBassCovers Run to the Hills may be a nice one to try our skills. I'm pretty sure you can do it.

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

It's funny you mention Run to the hills. It's my favorite Iron Maiden song :) I'll start practicing it soon

[@ThunderBassistJay]

@@SamboatMusicBassCovers I consider it a great song as well. I covered it a few years ago, but not 100% flawless. I gave it my own twist. 😁 My son plays more than 20 of their songs on guitar. We sometimes jam along on Phantom of the Opera or Run to the Hills.

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

It must be fun to jam with him on those. I’ll check your cover out

[@bioshock369]

nice

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

Yee

[@57precision]

Great cover! A few things: 1) I love that guitar strap. 2) Why tune to Eb? I don't hear a low Eb in the entire tune. 3) Just realized how close this sounds to Holy Diver, another big Dio song. Very similar riff.

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

Thank you! 1 - I have the strap linked in the description if you wanted to get yourself one! 2 - I have it in Eb because the song is Eb. I know Black Sabbath typically used E, and you don't go to the low Eb, however the 7th fret of the A in this tuning is Eb. Dio (who is the singer on this one, and not Ozzy) does his music in Eb. It just follows that the tuning is Eb with dio being the singer and the song being in Eb 3 - It sounds very similar! I heard this song and thought I heard Dio SInging, but it said black sabbath so I had to look it up and I was glad I did. Dio really likes that Gallop rhythm, and so do I :)

[@IntangibleStudd59]

Should I buy a bass after this awesome tutorial?

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

Most definitely you should!

[@xbosson]

Nice cover ! Nice sound too ! Quick question, what's the purpose to tune in Eb ? Does Geezeer always tuned like this ? On this sound, not open string is played...

[@drew64rush82]

Very nicely done.. I love this tune.. if you get time you think you could do Neon Knights from the same album??? That’s another cool song..either way thanks for this one.. have a great day..

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

I’ll add it to my list for you Drew :)

[@kristinat6421]

I never learned how to read music but I want to play this right. Those symbols/ notes that have a straight side and a curvy side with a dot at the tip, what does that mean? It’s almost like a wishbone if that helps. I’d appreciate it!

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

So the notes that have a black cirlce (called a head) and a straight line is a quarter note. It usually means it is the beat. Every time you would tap your foot or bob your head is that. If the head is empty, then it is twice the beat, and you hold it for two beats (called a half note). Often times it’s the space inbetween each hit of the kick drum. If there is only one little “flag” or bar attached to a note with a black head, then it is an eighth note. You play two of those every beat. Think of almost any AC/DC bass line. If there is a dot by the head, then it makes it 1.5 times it’s normal length. A lot of jazz pieces use these. It makes something change “off the beat”. A curvy bar across notes generally means the two notes are connected together (so you only hit it once if it is the same note). If the notes are different, then you might be sliding from one to the other. If there is a 3 on top of the notes with the curve, that is called a triplet. A few Journey and The doors songs use it and it sticks 3 notes into a beat. I hope this is helpful :) if you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Sometimes I don’t get notifications if replied in the same thread, but hopefully I’ll see it. What time in the video do these things come up? I can better answer if I know what part you’re wondering about

[@Korsfestelse]

SamboatMusic It looks like Kristina is referring to the dotted quavers (dotted 8th notes) in bar 59 (2:40/41)

[@brooksonly7337]

Is that a schecter your playing? Tone is good. Whats the pros and cons?

[@sietchsi]

Quick question Anybody. When the song is in Eb, are all the strings flat or just the E?

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

All the strings are down a half step!

[@sietchsi]

@@SamboatMusicBassCovers Thanks so much Sam. I'm learning more and more all the time. I'm 51 years old and I haven't played a Double Bass since high school. Now I've switched to bass guitar. But I am playing a fretless. 😝

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

XD get some flatwound strings too for as similar a tone if that’s what you’re going for! I’m glad I can help. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions

[@sietchsi]

@@SamboatMusicBassCovers Thanks so much and I am using flat wound.

[@lincolnlad6075]

So what's that 0th string for? Why do bass guitarist need 5 strings and never play them all.

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

I’ll use it if it’s a song that uses that low B. I enjoy using it as a thumb rest, since it keeps my fingers closer to the strings. Also, if I start a song that’s in Eb or something , I have a chance to try to play it. I chose this bass for this song just because it’s my favorite bass

Thank god for the 5 string bass. Only an idiot would play it on a 4 string.

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

lmao. Maybe I should've gone for 6

[@dixiemcgee8535]

Ooh I've got a bit of a hot take here. Dio with Sabbath wasn't very good. This track is amazing, but everything else is kinda meh. Nothing really compares to the style Ozzy had set before with his more gruesome and gritty lyrics in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, Dio is easily one of the best singers of all time, and Rainbow is a great band as well, but he truly excelled when we was with his own band. Holy Diver, Last in Line, Lock up The Wolves are such good albums.

[@SamboatMusicBassCovers]

I honestly have only heard this album with dio singing for Black Sabbath and I really enjoyed it. Not many “single” type songs, but now I like that more than the singles

[@josiahsegovia9248]

I think southern cross, voodoo, die young, neon knights and this one are his absolute best but I agree to an extent but nothing beats ozzy your right but these are some standouts for me.
