Supernaut by Black Sabbath [ Bass Lesson + TAB in Desc. ]

[@garymurray3524]

That was great. I'm a bassplayer in a Black Sabbath tribute band and it's nice to see videos like this breaking the songs down. Gone are the days of buying cassette tapes and wearing them out with the constant rewind and play while trying to learn your parts. Volume 4 is a cool album.

[@BeholdenToTheRiff]

Awesome!!! Must be a blast playing in the tribute band! Imagine ol Geezer wearing out needles while learning songs from records🤘

[@tl4340]

4:28 God what a bass riff. Love Geezer.

[@BeholdenToTheRiff]

Heck yeah man!!! Incredible 🤜🤛🤘

[@matthewreeves8408]

Thanks for this. I've loved Sabbath for over 30 years and Geezer is the reason I started playing bass. Vol 4 may be my favourite album of theirs but unfortunately the bass is criminally buried in the mix, and nearly impossible to pick out. This is very helpful!

[@BeholdenToTheRiff]

Happy it helped!!! Btw, check out the recent Vol. 4 remaster, the bass is way more present and makes the whole album hit even harder🤘

[@matthewreeves8408]

@@BeholdenToTheRiff thanks for the tip, I will definitely follow that up 👍

[@kyledickenson1494]

​@BeholdenToTheRiff that remaster literally elevated Vol 4 to my favourite Sabbath album 🤘

[@elynch03]

Heard this song 100’s of times and I’m still struggling to get All the pull off right haha... tricky for me… thanks for doing these man… always very helpful and great choice of sabbath songs

[@BeholdenToTheRiff]

These pull-offs are no joke! And the song is pretty fast too. Thanks for checking out the lesson man and glad you liked it🤜🤛🤘

[@TheBloodyMallard]

Riff 2 for sure - can’t help but move to it every time I hear. Those hammer/ pulls give it such an awesome bubble effect I kinda thought he was sliding between the two notes. Great lesson dude!

[@BeholdenToTheRiff]

Thanks for checking it out🙏I thought it was slides too and checked out a couple live vids to see what he was doing. Iommi is definitely using slides and is way higher in the mix, making it difficult to hear the bass part. I think the use of hammer-ons give the song a little more drive and are more proof of Geezer’s genius🤜🤛🤘

[@drakeswarchannel2530]

Thanks man! I appreciate your instruction!

Awesome!!! Hope it helps you learn this incredible song🤘

Awesome video! Thanks for breaking this down. Seen a lot of different covers but this one definitely nailed it.

[@BeholdenToTheRiff]

Right on! Such an awesome song and hope you find the video helpful🤘

[@bubbaho-ward3377]

First time I have had hope in learning this. And nice to see somebody else using the floating thumb technique.

[@BeholdenToTheRiff]

You got this!!! Such a fun song to play🔥I studied classical guitar in college and the floating thumb carried over nicely to bass. It’s a little more work up front, but the technique has tons of advantages 🤜🤛🤘

[@mattwilson317]

Great track, fun to play too 😁🤘

Love being able to use Soundslice but for some reason I get video not available and cant sink with music. Still, thank you so much for the free interactive tabs, super helpful

[@BeholdenToTheRiff]

I just checked it out and the video is syncing. Maybe a copyright issue in your country? Black Sabbath’s management are notorious for blocking videos for copyright claims🤘

[@Leiria65]

@@BeholdenToTheRiff yeah, thats probably it. Extra question: What gauge string you'd recommend for a 4 string bass that'll be used mostly for C/C# tuning? Finally joined a Stoner band and detuning a standard tuned one wont do it in a band setting, too much buzz

[@BeholdenToTheRiff]

Congratulations on joint the band!!! For C-Standard, I use Black Harbor Sound Strings (55-155)🤘

[@Leiria65]

@@BeholdenToTheRiff 155? That's thicker than a standard B
