How to Play the Solo From "Paranoid" by Black Sabbath

[@anupamagoswami]

This is 'the' solo that can help me shut my friends up once and for all who keep telling me that i am not good enough. I shall nail this solo, soon, thanks to you!

[@RitiksProductions]

no punch the dick

[@Sluskarn]

You got it yet?

[@whysthat2877]

Anant Goswami never quit. Your friends dont know if u keep playing you will not only be good enough but better than they are. Some things take a little extra effort never give up

[@devosce]

did you nail it yet ?

[@TheAusherGuy]

@@devosce I'm guessing after 3 years he gave up, his friends laughed at him and he went home with his head hung down low dragging his guitar behind him.

[@davesaenz3732]

The reason I ever learned to play guitar as a teen, is because of Tony Iommi. Thank you. Great video.

[@balintpetervari8450]

Mine is Dimebag

[@platonicmetal]

"It was weird to figure out, so it's weird to teach." As a teacher, I understand completely. Great lesson.

[@vjenks7243]

I have been trying to learn the solo to Paranoid, on and off, for nearly 30 years. You simplified it for me by breaking it down into sections. And you nailed it like a true boss! Thank you, Marty!!! 🤜🤛🤘🤘

[@Warioland80]

Did You learn it? I have the first and second section kinda done.

[@vjenks7243]

@@Warioland80 I've learned the rhythm and 75% of the lead.

[@Warioland80]

@@vjenks7243 Awesome! It's been a month since I bought my electric guitar and learning part of this solo has made me improve a lot. The riffs are kinda easy, the solo is the hard part.

[@tdeadder]

Marty, i just finished learning this solo, thanks to you, you made me realize how easy it actually is to play, been struggling with it for about 40 years, guess i was just too damn lazy to learn it note for note, Thank you Sir very much, you are the man

[@rrrripbing]

Yet another great lesson. Really helpful that you regularly go over the entire solo from the start, building it up bit by bit. Many thanks.

[@jznazari]

[@chocodiledundee1]

THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN ... I’ve always wanted to learn this classic solo , great teaching I do appreciate a lot . All the best from Australia 🇦🇺

[@teddy5032]

Could you run a tab along the screen, sing along style?

[@hoboguru]

Started learning guitar from Marty's vids 3 years ago in my spare time, couldn't play one chord, just nailed this solo! Cheers Marty!

[@TheZiggerZagger]

Brilliant Marty, thanks for taking your time (slowing down and repeating) when explaining the fast sections, excellent teaching... made following your lead easy.

[@JawTooth]

That is awesome! I always wanted to learn that. Thanks for posting. I have been working on this for a couple hours and made some really good progress.

[@ItzLOPEEEZY]

sounds so bluesy. crazy how rock is just heavy blues lowkey, love it !!

[@safenders]

Sabbath for the win! Good Job MARTIN!

[@GuitarJamzOfficial]

Charlotte Fahey I'm glad it helped. It's a weird thing to try and teach in a video. I'm glad it's helping!

FANTASTIC!!! Very easy to understand and transition. Thank you for your help.

[@captainsar]

This is my favourite solo

[@adamoconnell3967]

unbelievable lesson I first picked up a guitar Epiphone Nighthawk. two months ago I never taught I'd be able to do this solo now I can thanks to Marty...

[@RealMelodyBlue]

😭😭 I'll be happy again when I can play guitar again! I quit playing and sold my Fender Telecaster when my husband passed away, I didn't have the heart for it anymore, but now I've been binge watching all these videos, the want to has come back!¡! Problem is, I'm on a fixed income and cannot afford to buy another guitar 😭😭😭 but a girl can dream 😭😭

[@lunamoone5231]

Its my 3rd month of playing and im so suprised that im just over halfway through playing the solo! Finally after hours of practice thanks to marty!

[@lilmike2710]

Had this in my playlist for a while.. Started learning it today and halfway thru my fingers hurt so bad i had to stop lol. Back at it tomorrow. 😳

[@JBPhish73]

The best teacher on the planet right here! Ive gotten worlds better in the past year than i had in previous 3 years playing. When my friends ask how i learned i send your links! Thanks brotha! P.s. more jazz and modal theory please!

[@GuitarJamzOfficial]

Josh B ah sweet thanks so much man!

[@gregorybrian]

I have been tormented by trying to play the parts down at the 12th to 15th frets. I even slow down the video to half speed and try to follow along and I keep hitting the wrong notes after getting the first two notes of each little section. Maybe I’m just stubborn and doing it the way it feels right physically but it doesn’t match what he’s doing. I’ve got a guitar player for decades, mostly playing rhythm and I don’t wanna give up but it’s driving me insane!

[@gmac9841]

Thank heaps Marty I would of never tried to play this before ,now four or five days later I have just about got it susted out . Been using computer to learn for around 2 years now ,learnt more in these 2 years than 30 years on my own thanks again keep up the outstanding work

[@dimebagfromhell94]

Yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaah!!! Finally i will learn a real song, for years i've wanted to learn this awesome solo, thanks marty you rock sir, nos planeta caravan im i'm coming for you

[@Olletchka]

Thank you, Marty, your lessons are the best! I picked up a guitar last year and this is the first solo I nailed thanks to you! Much love!!!

[@06_avikshitbezbaruah24]

The pickups of this guitar changed to burstbuckers in the middle and was humbuckers in the starting. U can check at very first of the video and middle of the video

[@steve01evil]

you are the man, this vid has not only helped me learn a great solo, but inspired me to write some better jams and solos of my own, thank you man.

[@GuitarJamzOfficial]

steve01evil thanks for the support, I really appreciate you leaving a comment! Thanks again!

[@tom111114]

I actually just learned the solo from Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit, so, this will be a fun challenge for me. Thank you for putting this one up! Very clear and easily understandable, much better than staring at a tablature for an extended period of time.

[@barroncrist5779]

Excellent note for note of this classic songs. Great job.

[@NormanEttawacappo]

I had a hard time with other tabs and other 'teachers' but this video was great, easy to follow. I started at 10AM one morning over the weekend and had most of it down by lunchtime, now its just combing the solo with the everything else. Do you have a lesson for the entire song?

[@newmangan]

I was hoping for this, YOU READ MY MIND MARTY!!!!!!

[@GuitarJamzOfficial]

Newman Gan I'm reading right now too!

Thanks Marty. Your lessons are the best. You make everything so easy to understand.

[@johnhuckaby6852]

After watching your ultimate E blues run video a few months back and practicing it what seems like a million times. It made the jump from the ninth on the G to the eight on the B in this solo, not too bad. : ) Thanks for video.

[@katherinevega6265]

Thanks so much from Chile! You're amazing :) Thanks for the video, it was the best that I've seen for learning this solo! :D

[@HWOARANG342]

thank you so much dude ive been learning riffs and some solos from your channel so i can play the whole songs with my band. most of the songs i know are from your videos, so keep up the good work

Great lesson Marty! Could you please do a lesson for The Zephyr Song by The Red Hot Chili Peppers?

[@davesaenz3732]

Really awesome!! Thank you. Been playing Iommi for many years. Because of his missing fingertips he's playing is a bit different.

[@Appleblade]

Wonderful job! Really fun solo, and you're picking up all the subtleties. Kudos!

[@eekeng182]

Thanks Marty, took me a week to learn this .

[@billygoat12]

beautiful sg. do you recommend it as a first guitar?? ive been wanting an electric guitar for sooo long but dont have money :'(

[@GuitarJamzOfficial]

***** SG is as good as any !

[@Waldoz53]

SGs are awesome.

[@revolutionday1]

I would NOT recommend it as a beginner's guitar. SG's have a tendency to be thin and as such, are pulled in and out of tune by strong movements or rough playing.

[@wulfila99]

revolutionday1 The first guitar I ever played was similar to the SG (VGS Cobra). And my problem was, that it was difficult to play the guitar. Later I got an LTD F-10 and it's much easier (I still play it). It's a great beginner's Heavy Metal guitar and really cheap (around 200 bucks, which is nothing for an ESP guitar)

[@hawg427]

Buy a used one, the SG's from 2013 are very overpriced, Gibson had a massive price increase for 2015 :-(

[@YoungAngus1999]

I thought he uses a ring modulator on it?

[@darkness_rises1403]

Great as always, thanks a lot !!!! PLEASE do a NIB solo lesson like this! 🙏

[@4stevio]

Thanks Marty for this brilliant lesson from my hometown boys, the guys that gave Metal to the World. Birmingham UK the Spiritual home of Heavy Metal, Sabbath, Priest and just up the road a bit the Zeppelin boys. I was blessed to be a teenager in the early to mid 70's, what amazing days those were for music. Rock on

[@danjordon1691]

I found this really helpful I've learnt the first half where u do the whole 8-10 thret bend but after that don't feel it was explained as well as the first half I can't for the life of me work it out plz help me

Hey, great tut! Thanks! Though ...I guess I'm a bit stupid or maybe half blind, but I'm not sure I fully get the second part, after sliding down to the 14th fret. If it ain't too much to ask for, could you throw a tab on that section, or something like that?

We want Ac/Dc lessons! 👌 Nice video btw!

[@firemonkey1015]

Was able to learn the solo pretty well after only playing a month of guitar, pretty impressed with myself tbh

[@lucasmaster99]

Can i buy the tabs and/or notes from you. The transcription I bought simplifies it I think and I'm becoming frustrating because I can hear how you are playing it the way it should sound but I just can't follow without a proper transcription.
