Thank you Ozzy Osbourne for all you gave to rock and roll may you rest in peace.
Learn how to play Paranoid as performed by Black Sabbath released on the Paranoid album from 1970. Great example of the birth of rock/metal.
The lesson covers the guitar parts played by Tony Iommi including rhythm and lead. ALSO I show you how you can achieve/approximate the unique lead guitar sound you hear on the album by using a Ring Modulator in your signal chain. Here are a couple examples you can find at Sweetwater. I used the Red Panda Radius.
