_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Yet more Sabbath for you.
Here's Tony Iommi's first solo _ in the classic Sabbath
cut, Iron Man. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [C#] _ _ [G#m] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [C#] _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [C#] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ All right, so let's break that down [C] lick by lick.
_ _ _ [A] Most of Iron Man
[B] is in B, _ _ _ but this solo jumps up [G#] a whole step to C sharp minor [C#]
pentatonic.
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F]
That's
in your ninth position.
[G#] And to establish that new tonality, _ _ they jump into [C#] this
riff.
_ [G] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#] Okay, so start in ninth [C#] position.
_ [G#m] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [B] _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ Position shift in there from nine down
to seven.
One more [G#m] time.
_ [G] _ _ _
[E] _ [B] _ _ [C#] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [G] _
_ [E] _ _ [B] _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[F] _ So that [C#] _ establishes _ _
[N] _ C sharp minor pentatonic. _ _
_ _ _ [G#] Later, when it resolves back down to [C#] B, _ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ [G] it's a really powerful part of the tune.
So it's a nice key [N] change. _ _
_ So that's the intro riff.
Here comes the solo.
_ _ Starts
in seventh position.
[B] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] Another one of those classic Tony Iommi position [Em] jumps
in the middle of it.
[C#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _ _
[F#] _ There.
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ So the first half is in [E] seventh position, then it
jumps [G#m] up to ninth.
One more time.
[C#] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So the answer to that phrase is _ whole _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] solo so
[C#] far. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
Continuing now, we've got [G] _ another classic rock [Fm] and roll _ _ Chuck Berry [G#] style
riff.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ One more time. _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It's [G#] nice to hold two [E] strings down there.
_ [Fm] _ _
[E] Do that little
bend. _ _ _
Get some attitude in [C#] there.
_ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D#] Continuing. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
[D#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So from the _ _ Chuck Berry part,
[C#] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ [D#] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D#m] _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ continuing now, _ you're [E] right in the middle of a bend.
You're going to release.
_ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [D#] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D#] _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ [Bm] _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#]
So that last [G#] _ _ bend deserves some _ _ comment. _
[D#] It's tempting to, [F] _ _ _ _ _
[G#] but really Tony bends it
up _ [N]
and then gives it another whack for the next one. _ _
_ _ _ You get a lot more power
out of that.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
Alright, moving on.
_ [A] _ _ _ _
[D#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Just take that much. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D#] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [C#] _ _
[N] _ _ _ So that was Tony Iommi's first solo in the Sabbath Classic [G] Iron Man.
Hope you
enjoyed it.
Hope you found something useful there. _
If you're a big Sabbath fan,
you'd probably enjoy my band Dr.
[E] Nerve.
_ You can find us on MySpace and iTunes.
_ _ And if you really like Tony Iommi, you'll probably enjoy a tune [G#] called Dead
Silence.
Check it out.
[D#] Let's hear from you.
Take care. _ _ _ _ _ _
