Iommi is the reason I wanted too start playing. The man's tone and musical style rocks my world
Same here! Bought my first guitar a year ago/ SG :) my first song i learned was Killing yourself to live, haha
Sotis175 that’s my favourite sabbath song, I’ve been dying to learn it. Did you use tabs or a video?
No, he metals your world
Geezer Butler is why I started playing bass!
Same here, man.
When I was a kid in the late 70's early 80's, my parents would take us to the local K-Mart and each one of us would get to buy something. I always got an album. Back then they were $5 to $10 depending and that was my "allowance" for mowing and all the chores. I snuck in the Black Sabbath album Black Sabbath right at the checkout when my mom wasn't looking. She never would have permitted it. I ended up with it! I had to hide it in a Grand Funk Railroad sleeve and listen to it when she wasn't home (my dad didn't care) One night I was listening to it while laying it bed. I had the speakers on either side of my pillow a few inches from each ear. That shit was genuinely scary. I can remember there was a thunder storm and a tree branch was hitting my window! I thought evil forces had arrived and they were coming for me. Silly, but not back then. Now, I play it on my guitar all the time. Iommi is a badass. One of my top five all time.
Great story ! The power of music !
Man I'm 52.... Back in NY me and a friend of mine where listening to Back Sabbath Heaven and Hell with Ronnie James Dio and there was a spiritual I don't know how to explain it... We where not High or drunk ... But that walk home I was scared shitless thinking the devil was gonna jump out from behind the tree's...
cool story
„Something that seems to be lacking today is the concept of leaving space“ Very true
Iommi's style IS Simply Badass, amazingly can do so much with so little, he is the master of reality.
And Insanity
the Hand of Doom.
It literally cracks me up that there are 61 people who gave this a thumbs down. What, what would it take to give it a thumbs up? This was awesome! I know most of the techniques and the songs but it’s great to have it broken down - so useful! And fun too
Ah man you could put a video up of a cute puppy and someone would thumbs down it.
How could you thumbs down a video on Tony Iommi? Must be Christian moms.
@@TheArtofGuitarTony invented the David Gilmour Bend?
You could give Tony three strings and 3 frets and he could make an awesome riff.
You could take his fingers and he still would play great
He did, the opening of Into The Void is just the first three frets of the 6th 5th and 4th strings, i learned back when i was just a beginner, i love that riff.
Direst I love intro riff too and they say Motorhead started speed metal but Black Sabbath were an influence as well with palm muting, power chords and time signature changes way back then.
@@andrewking9761 Tony Iommi influenced me to play guitar. 🎸
9 notes is way too much he’ll make a whole solo
I love Iommi's vibrato, it's just purely me(n)tal and aggressive. It epitomises everything black Sabbath is for me. No shock rock bullshit. Just pure unbridled, fear inducing, audial madness. That is what turned rock to metal. Unlike some of those that came after him he didn't rely on masks, makeup or some façade of Satan worship, he relied on his skill.
That's why i love black sabbath so much
on the other hand, Sabbath definitely had a facade of Satan worship. Their s/t had a huge inverted cross as its gatefold sleeve artwork and Sabbath's logo usually included a devil. Needless to talk about SBS's cover art. Plus Geezer and Tony certainly were into the occult - not simply as a joke, although they've always denied they were satanists. In Tony's own words :
"We were very interested in the satanic side of stuff - certainly Geezer and myself. We were interested in the occult just out of curiosity... We wondered what would happen if we did certain things, just like we wondered about life after death. We got into all sorts of stuff. Maybe it was the drugs in those days - I don’t know! And we’re still using that imagery with Heaven & Hell."
There was some shock rock to an extent, but it was more like they wanted to create a musical version of a horror movie than anything
Masks…makeup…theatrics and fake satanic satire. Why does that sound all too familiar. Im trying to remember ? Oh wait!!! I remembered that sounds erie close to.. GWAR they learn to play after a while they learned to play their instruments. All jokes aside, Black Sabbath has spawned, so many copycats and sub genres definitely one of the most original sounds I can think of
That's a beautiful SG.
The fact that I just started a new job and learned that one of my colleagues is 2nd cousin to Tony Iommi himself is still surreal to me, I started playing guitar last year and Tony was and still is one of biggest inspirations
You covered Tony Iommi. You can quit now. No need to cover any other guitarist.
Haha!
Dont forget zappa
All others are just poor emulators
lol
@@thundersuckler5194 ugh, bullshit, get out more
I didn't know John Cusack knew how to play and teach guitar. Good stuff.
Tony also from my research, had his guitar tuned to C- and used banjo strings at first to ensure that his damaged finger tips, for ease of use. Then eventually had his own strings custom made for his purpose and ease of use, Thanks, enjoy your videos, great playing, thanks!
sparkomatic100 he did not tune down until the third album onward
Master reality is tuned Low C#. I thought .
Iommi's finest playing was on the albums where he is just tuned down a half step in Eb like on Heaven and Hell an Dehumanizer, Sabbath's best albums IMHO.
He used banjo strings as he couldn't find strings that were thin enough at that time
And also Tony plugs his guitar on the bass amplifier.
Tony is the reason I play guitar today. And, I share a common trait with Tony: I lost my thumb on a lathe on my right hand. They reattached it, but I have no feeling and it is gone past the last knuckle. Try holding a pick with no thumb. Not easy to do. I made my own prosthesis but eventually found this thing called a Pikmax. It is a plastic holder that has a pick attached. Fits in the palm of our hand and keeps the pick perfectly placed so my thumb just kind of rest on it, it is not responsible for any holding pressure. Thank God they invented that thing. It would be a great product for you to demo, even if you're not handicapped, it works really well.
Best Tommi lesson ever. Period.
You do Sabbath justice, great teacher!
hey man you are like the master of tony's playing it would be fucking awesome if you would do a few lessons! please do it some time, mostly soloing stuff or just some licks or maybe some riffs! i think a lot of people would like it!!!
I’m subscribed to you lol
Lovely stuff. Sabbath was my first gig back in 78. Tony reorganised every atom in my body. Truly the Master of Reality.
Iommi is endlessly a player of interest. Years it has taken to master the techniques of those old records. Many never do. I can't imagine playing metal rock and not wringing out all I can from SABBATH. IT DESERVES TO ACHEIVE IMMORTALITY because it is godlike.
Oh wow, I taught myself to play Paranoid from playing the record 100 times. I’m playing it the way you say Toni played it!
Thank you so much, this what I've been waiting for trying to learn how play Tony's techniques , just love it.
This series is the best! I have been re watching a bunch of videos from this series this past 3 days and they are excellent! Keep it up!
Very helpful mate thanks! Tony’s playing is so good.
I love this video! I have been sitting here for hours practicing this cool stuff. Thanks for your help!
Best lesson I've ever seen about my all-time favourite guitar player!
Why haven't I seen this guy anywhere in RUclips before?
You're really awesome! Subscribed🎸
Great stuff. To learn so much at my age from the riffs I have played so many times, it's just amazing. Thanks, man.
Great video! Iommi generally keeps it simple yet his riffs and solos tell such a story. Btw, a Glenn Tipton style video would be great. Especially since he has changed his style quite a bit over the years!
Love your channel!
Absolutely great, great teaching skills and knowledge. Thank you so very much.
Very good work!!!
Thanks for the videos.
Fun and entertaining.
Cheers from Spain.
These videos are GREAT, they give you so much ideas, just try them and implement them to your play, awesome!
Tony was a Master of Time and Space🤘⚡️🤘
What a thorough understanding of guitar and instruction. I wish I had a teacher like you here in the UK.
Your approach to guitar instruction is easier to follow and enjoy than any other I've found so far.... and I appreciate the attention to detail
Fell into this channel. Really good and nice intro to the Sabs and Tony's guitar work. Gonna have to check out your other stuff now. Thanks!
Great job, you approximated his tone really well to. Tony was THE reason I first wanted to play guitar so I’m familiar with his techniques as well. Cut my teeth on his riffs. Cheers.
1000 times better than most of the tutorials here in YT!
Tony Iommi is a legend! I can listen to his tone for hours is given the chance. Awesome video!
Iommi Ace & Glenn Tipton are my 3 legends that got me into wanting to play guitar! Others influenced me later of course. Great lesson! Thnx 🎸🎶🤘
the way you break down technique so softly and calm is soothing. 🍻
Mike I really like the way you articulate your messages. Thanks for the videos mate, you are awesome!
Such an understated and modest guy, a pleasure just browsing his stuff.
Slight correction on the finger tip story. On the day he was due to leave his job and turn proffesional musician Tony was assigned to a machine he was not trained on and as mentioned cut off his finger tips. Doctors told him he would never play guitar again. Because back then there was a lack of prosthetics Tony took an empty washing up bottle and a soldering iron, effectively making himself new finger tips.
James Lewis metal as fuck
Imagine if he just gave up then. No one would have blamed him, but nope. He went on to become a wizard
instead he went on to bet the father of all metal music@@codymccormick2613
After his injury Tony heard & was spurred on by some of Django Reinhardt's playing whose left hand had been badly damaged in a caravan fire very early in his career but went on to become one of the finest jazz players out there.
Heavy metal was made from a piece of heavy metal
Great stuff Man.it's amazing how satisfying ringing out power chords and palm muting can feel and sound.
You have a gift of teaching and being very versatile with offering alternate options to play certain techniques . Keep up the good work. Don't underestimate the ability of being clear articulate guitar teacher. Rock on...
Man you're a great techer! THANK YOU for sharing and teaching SO well.
Incidentally, I just put up Paranoid and listened to it once more... amazing how your exposition helps my appreciation of the album. THANKS!
Congratulations on 100k subs!!!
Thanks. It’s been a lot of work but very educational.
Conhratulations you diserve a lot more though
IOMMI taught me how to play guitar long long ago. He's second to none. Man you have a 'super chill' way of showing these techniques. My Sabbath sounds better today bro! Thanks for that!!!! (subbed) "Your tone and guitars are killer!" \,,/
You are a true Tony Iommi fan, as well
as a very good teacher,seems like you covered all of the teqniques,
that Tony incorporated into his playing, to get his sounds...Subbed...
This is one of the best tuition videos I've seen. I've been playing for over 40 years (my first heroes were Blackmore and Iommi, and I saw Sabbath 45 years ago!) but I still learnt something from it. That may be a reflection on my lack of ability rather than your teaching skills, but I really enjoyed every moment of it! I particularly like the way you don't talk down to your audience and make us feel like we're all on the same musical journey (even if mine has been at a snail's pace...) I'll definitely be checking out your other videos - thanks!
Every day better lessons!! Blown my head with this one! Can't find your descending 3rd sequence. Thank you! Regards from buenos aires, argentina!
All your lessons are essential if you're a serious guitarist, especially for beginners. You've covered some serious licks for essential metal music in this video.
Awesome ! Thank you !
First, Beautiful SG. Second, I love your teaching style...in depth but easy to follow. Of all yt guitar tutorials, yours are hands-down the best, and there are some real good ones out there. Thanx much for your hard work and time!!
You’ve hit the nail on the head when you described leaving space. Keith Richards said ‘ Its not what you play it’s the gaps in between.
These artist vids are amazing and I think this one will be my all time favourite! Cheers sir!
The master of riffs, great video on this one super stoked.
One of my favorite guitar players and def made huge difference in my early playing and even now 20+ years later.
You're such a humble person and I've found to be patient and nice guy just wanted to say thanks. I learn from your teachings and enjoy hearing you play you are a really good guitar player, sure you've heard it before but I wanted to say it anyways. Never change your teaching style it works.
Amazingly amazing! Thaks a lot for the class! You are such a great teacher!
I dont play guitar primarily (bass here mostly) but I clicked out of curiousity. I have to say that your teaching style is so great and, even though I am familiar with a lot of these concepts, I was completely brought in. Keep up the great work! Wonderful video
I've been listening to the first Black Sabbath album lately. never fails to amaze me how good Tony Iommi is. That album came out when I was 9. We used to listen to it over and over again trying to go into a trance. Lol
Iv seen ALLOT of youtube guitar videos and this is among the best. tons of tips here and from someone knowledgeable that can break it down.
Kudos dude! You are an excellent player, covering the tips and tricks of another excellent player, Tony Iommi! I had no idea there was that much to his playing, but - obviously - not everyone plays it the way he does, that's why he's the master of metal!
Been playing a lot after this popped up in my recommendations, great video man, suscribed.
great videos man ! been playing for 16-17 yrs now and they are all really helpful ! lots of info though, I can really absorb it fast cause I understand music but seriously just the toni iommi video has very meaty interesting quirks and tricks...
I love this Greatest Guitar Techniques series. So educational while still being entertaining to watch. You should do one on Buckethead or Andy LaRocque.
You are the guitar-whisperer-professor. Although I am too old to benefit from your teachings, there are those young enough who can...ROCK-ON!
YES! I was actually wondering a week or two ago if you were going to do Iommi
The list is long. :)
Really well done. I'm sure these are a ton of work but please keep them coming!
Your Tri-Tone explanation just blew my mind.. I’d seen it before, however not in the context of a song I’d heard (at ridiculous volumes)
great teaching tecnique your ethusiasm for the music adds to the experience
Very smart, thanks. Simple idea about shifting of shape 2 frets while playing pentatonics was a huge discovery for me :)
Thank you....great info on a HUGE hero of rock guitar of mine. Subscribed!
Every heavy metal band that is, was, or ever will be owes their existence to the great Tony Iommi
Another great video. Cheers!
Sweet tutorial man, techniques are the coolest thing about guitar to me
Thank you so much for doing Iommi's techniques!!!!!!

I can comfortably say YOU are hands down the best all around channel for good, useful and real-life content on guitar .... regardless of age or skill. I recommend your channel to everyone I know that plays from beginner to seasoned . Your approach to your audience is flawless
Great video as always, thank you very much!
A+ on this video lesson! Thank you!!!
Excellent video, thank you.
Amazing teacher. Thank you!
