In this episode of RIFFS OF DOOM I'm playing through the entire rhythm section from Megalomania by Black Sabbath.
Megalomania, from Sabbath’s Sabotage album, is one of my favorite songs of all time. For this demo I’m playing a stock 1965 Gibson SG special with P90 pickups, running into a Fuzzlord Effects Does It Doom Riff Master OC44, into the Bass Input of a 1969 Laney LBO-60 60 W Supergroup.
The guitar is tuned to C# standard and the song is played in the key of F# minor. It utilizes the F# Natural Minor Scale {R, M2, b3, p4, p5, b6, b7} and the F# Phrygian Mode {R, M2, b3, p4, p5, b6, b7} along with some really cool major chords and chord progressions. The use of major chords is something that Tony did relatively often, and it’s something that I find still to this day to be very unique to the Sabbath sound and approach.
All of what I’m playing I learned by referencing live footage of Tony playing the song during some of the instrumental segements over the last few reunion tours.

Guys, I wanted to start a band; playing doom/stoner rock. Is there any easy song for starter ? Not necessarily Black Sabbath. A really easy level player here. 👀
Great question! Thinking through the lessons here on the channel you might try Sleep-The Druid, Windhand-Orchard, Windhand-Woodbine, Electric Wizard-Satanic Rites of Drugula, or Saint Vitus-Dying Inside. Curious to hear what others think!
Monolord has some easy songs
Sabbath aint that hard to play, give it a try!
I haven’t been playing guitar “religiously” for a long time (meaning I picked it up and stopped various times as a teenager) maybe 6-7 months and I can play War Pigs, Paranoid, The Wizard, Black Sabbath, NIB, Children of the Grave in their entirety almost (mainly with the exception of the solos). So there you go!
Find and play riffs you like and find accessible, not necessarily whole songs to start with.
100 % one of the best ever Sabbath songs from what is one of the best Sabbath Album
Yes and Yes! Both beyond underrated!
Definitely! 💪😎
So many good tracks on sabotage my favorites are super tzar megalomania hole in the sky and symptoms of the univers
Hell yea brother. Easily one of the best Sabbath riffs. Sabotage is a gem that doesn’t get enough credit
Totally agree!
Christ... I need to listen to that glorious album right now...
Such a classic!
Hell yes! Such an underrated Sabbath tune. "The riff" might be my favorite of all the Sabbath riffs.
Obsessed Obsessed Obsessed..... Killer Tone!!! Super Love it!!! Thanks
Thanks Dean!
Holy shit you are spot on I always forget about sabotage it used to be stuck in my trans am stereo back in the 90s it was on rotation with well hell every sabbath album
That’s awesome! So good.
Probably my favourite sabbath song. Nice job man.
Great riffs, this does doom!
🐐🐐🤘🏻
Long time doom/stoner fan here, but I just found your awesome channel. Great content. Megalomania has sick heavy riffs. You just got a sub here, cheers!
Glad you’re digging it! 🤘🏻
I got up early this morning just for this! I've got my SG Special and all the gear you're using in this one to make it happen, including the Riff Master treble boost. My dogs won't be happy, but I'm gonna give it a go anyway! :) Thanks again Steve!!
That’s awesome, Karen!! The riffs in this one are just so fun to play.
Can you make a Doom version of the Beatles Outro of I want you ?
Such a good song. Cornucopia is another one I really like. Does Sabbath doom? Fuck yes it does. All the live long day.
Love cornucopia as well. Another sleeper.
EPIC TONE, YOU'VE GOT IT BROO
Thanks brother. 🙌🏻👨🏻🙏🏻
Love this song!!! Your gear is always sick too!🤘
Glad you dig it man. Such an underrated classic. So fun to play.
Great lesson! This Riff is criminally underrated! 🤘
Totally agree! So fun to play.
Great job Steve!
Excellent choice. Sabotage is one of my all time favorites. I see a lot of requests for symptom of the universe & I would also suggest hole in the sky. We could always use more Yob. Burning the alter, adrift in the ocean, ablaze. I’ve also been in the mood for Cough since I heard they’re coming around soon. A year in suffering, haunter of the dark.
This seems like a good setup to do Lazy Lady by Pentagram!!
Yes!
Gearhead question; Anyone know what kind of phaser Tony is using on the studio version? Is it even a stomp box?
Following!
I'm not sure what he used on the studio version but I know he has used a Phase 90 live.
You’re fucking awesome
Thanks for watching, Asher!
YES!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching.
Yeah man great playing! I enjoy the doom and gloom you add to an already really heavy song.
Awesome tone man, you nailed it 🤘
Thanks, Craig!
Got my shirt!! Keep up the great content, J
Awesome!! Thanks man.
Got a RIFFS OF DOOM episode request? Drop it in the comments! Thanks for watching.
Does It Doom? Candlemass- My funeral dreams.
Does it Doom? Planet Caravan. Black Sabbath, Does it Doom edition.
Hey Steve! I got two requests that will be a bit obscure (not to assume you wouldn't know of the bands) - Human Antithesis by Void of Silence and/or Soulsadness by While Heaven Wept. Also, I noticed your "Does it Doom?" hat is not on your shop. I'd love a chance to get one. Are you getting re-stocked on those at some point? Keep up the good work!
Christopher Carty awesome suggestion.
Rustin Rosenberger I may reprint at some point. The life complete hats are almost out as well.
My man. You are the shit.
Hell Yeah! Good job Steve! I'd like to see Symptom of the Universe for Sabbath or Be Forewarned by Pentagram.
Both great fucken choices! Thanks for watching!
How do you learn Songs on Guitar? Do you Copy off of Tabs? Do you listen to the Songs by Ear? What do you do about that?
I never reference TABS as most of what you’ll find on the internet in this genre are largely incorrect. Generally I start by finding as many good live performances of the band playing the songs as I can. I study the footage to determine basics like tuning, fretboard positions, chord shapes, etc. I then let my ears and eyes be my guide as I sort out the riffs. My ears are pretty good these days, but they didn’t start out that way. Learning and practicing scales helped train them to pickup on the correct intervals.
Great video Steve!!! 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks Chris!
awesome as always. so much gear envy lol
Glad you dig it man.
I’d love to hear judgement of the dead by Pagan Altar (‘78 or ‘82 version) lesson! P.A. In their Doom era before they went straight up NWOBHM. Either that or curious volume by Pentagram!
Good choice, great sound and well played! Lord Vicar's Pillars Under Water would be cool choice, really digging that band.
Thanks man! Appreciate the suggestion.
Your tone is perfect 😍😍
Thanks brother.
2:51 How does Tony do the ‘squeeky’ sound he seems to have invented? I’m just curious what it is/how he does it?
😍 that setup
🎻🐐Thanks for watching!
🤘👹🎸😈🎸👌😈🎸👍👹👑🤘Świetny doskonały Black Sabbath.
Thanks so much Janusz
Great Lesson.. Thanks Bro.. Peace.
Thanks Hippie!
Not too shabby
Great sound! The first transition kinda almost lost me a moment.
dope sg
🐐🎻
2:47 is a little off time. Very cool video tho. Most people havent even heard this song. Its cool seeing a good youtube channel acknowledging it.
years ago it was confirmed by Gibson that Tony's was a 1965, not sure why they changed their minds now...
Thought that was weird as well. Had always heard it was an early ‘65, meaning it had ‘64 specs. That is what my SG is (nickel hardware, 1 11/16” nut, etc).
@@DoesItDoom I own a 1965 SG Special and it has a super narrow width, almost like Fender Musicmasters / Duo Sonics from those time periods, I am restoring and refinishing it to be an Iommic monster!
Gabriel Angel I had one of those before this one (chrome hardware, 1 9/16” nut). Loved it as well. Good luck with the restoration!
@@DoesItDoom thank you, found it on ebay! not sure how many other 21 year olds are studying in the arts of Iommic research, much less own a vintage SG, but I feel very blessed! I have small hands so it's perfect
Gabriel Angel well done!
I've not been a subscriber for long and asked you what you thought of P90s on your story. I should make that clearer really, I mean a lot of people say and think that heavy rock and metal can only be played with Humbuckers. I prefer my P90 equipped guitar to any Humbuckers I've played since, including my Les Paul studio. Cheers man, look after yourself please.
Are you going to do a video about the first Electric wizard album???
I want to get That guitar sound
And i was thinking that you have more knowledge on the band sound.
Keep up the Good Work
\M/
I’ve thought about teaching a couple songs off that one. Will do it at some point!
@@DoesItDoom wow thanks
C# tuning?
Please teach some bongripper!
Cab/speakers used here? Sounding goood!
Mojotone oversized 2x12 with Celestion V-type speakers.
@@DoesItDoom so quick haha, thank you!
Yasss!! Best..get high!!!
man this is cool but i'm not sure about how your amp sounds, I'm getting a marilyn manson vibe, not a black sabbath one
I'm no musician but Meg has been my fave Sabbs song ever, and I have heard that riff way too many times. Sorry but it just didn't sound right here, and I don't know how to describe it in music lingo. Suffice to say the last A chord(?) in the main riff is not just "dom", but its "da-dom", like quick open strings then "A"? Sorry I cant say it better but this guy is doing it how I mean: ruclips.net/video/aQlFeQQslYA/видео.html
You know, man, I can understand wanting to make money off of stuff. I get it. But to go back and take down all the tab that you gave away for free, and now require a patreon membership to view it, is kind of messed up, in my opinion. It's your channel and you can do what you want with it, and I'm only one person. I realize my opinion means all of nothing, and I'll probably catch some shit for it. It is what it is.
Transcriptions have never been available for anything on the channel in the past (although you can find many requests for them in the comments!). Everything that you find on Patreon is new and is work that has been completed over the past couple months, which amounts to the entire back catalog of lessons here on the channel and everything going forward. So basically nothing has changed other than giving people the option to join the program and gain access to a bunch of exclusive bonus content (including tabs for every lesson on the channel, pdf guides, exclusive videos, private groups, etc) if they’d like. Check it out, I think you’ll find the price point pretty fair.
holding tabs for hostage,,,tsk tsk
I hope you’ll checkout the membership options. I’m trying to release a lot of valuable content on that platform. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
How dare people try to make a living...
Jonas Clément thanks brother.
Lmao
Try Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath. It is slow and has a groove if that is the right word. Once you have learned it, put your own stamp on it ie make it yours! Enjoy and have fun!
Good stuff, I like the guitar in this song, but somehow the song as a whole unit dont worl for me (like most of the stuff on Sabbotage album).
Maybe play the song right dude!!
Show us how!
Scrap the Laney and plug up the green head.....that Laney sounds like shit in comparison.
