Chords for Sabbath Bloody Sabbath | Guitar Lesson

_ _ _ _ _ _ Now we're going to learn Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.
The first thing with this song is we're going to tune down a step and a half.
So the low E string will be tuned down to C sharp.
So the low E string sounds like this.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Low [E] tuning here.
The [F#] A string, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] D string, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ the [E] G string, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
the B [G#] string, _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] and the high E. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Now here's the intro riff.
_ _ So _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [B] _ _
[C#] _ _ [E] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ [C#] _ _ [E] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _
_ _ what I'm doing here is I'm starting off by playing the A string and the D string open
[B] _
and then hammering on to an E5 power chord, 7th fret of the A, 9th fret of the D. _
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] After doing that hammer on, I'm going to strike the E chord three more times, [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G#] followed by
two hits on the 7th fret of the A string.
[C#]
And that'll be a little more muted when I play those two hits on the 7th fret of the A. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Now [B] I'm going to repeat that hammer on, [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
but this time I'm going to slide off and [E] then
come down to a C power chord.
[A#] _ _ [A] _ _
_ The C power chord will have the root on the 3rd fret of the A string, and then I'm also
going to include the 5th fret of the D string.
_ _ [B] I'm going to move that up a full step to a D power chord, _ up another full step, [C#] which
is two frets, to an E power chord, _ _ _ _ up three frets to a G power chord, and [E] then slide back to E.
_ [C#] _ _
Strike the E again, _ _ _ [G]
followed [G#m] by two hits on the 7th fret of the A [C#] string. _
_ _ _ If we put it all together, it sounds like this. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[C#] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [C#] _ _
[E] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
And a little faster. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[E] _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [D#] _ _ _
_ So there's the intro riff and the verse.
Coming out of the verse, we're going to be into the chorus, which is going to be a clean
part, and it sounds like this.
_ _ One, two, three, four.
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ [G#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D#] _
_ _ Okay, so with this clean sound, I'm going to start off with a chord called A [F#m] minor 9.
It looks like this. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ So what I'm doing is playing the open A, _ _ 10th fret of the D, and then the 12th fret on the
top three strings. _ _ _ _ _
_ Now the first time we get to this A minor 9 chord, there's a little fill that sounds like
this, _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G]
which is a stretch here.
We're going to stretch from the 12th fret to the 15th fret [F#] of the B. _ _
_ The chord now would
be called A minor 11.
_ I'm just going to play that once and [F#m] then go back to the A minor 9.
_ And this only happens on the first riff.
_ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ Then we're going to go to a G [E] major 7 chord. _ _ _ _
_ [Fm] The G major 7 has the root on the 10th fret of the [E] A string.
_ We're also going to play 12 [B] on the D, _ [D#] 11 G, _ [C] 12 [G#] on the B string.
And then we can bar and also play [E] the D note on the 10th fret of the high E string.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Okay, so we're going to go from [F#] A minor 9 to G major 7.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _
_ [F#] _ The second time around, like I said, we're not going to include that D note, that stretch,
that A minor 11 chord.
We're just going to play back and forth between the A minor 9 and the G major 7.
_ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] The third time through the progression, it's going to be [A] the same as the second time.
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G#] The fourth time, we're going to go [F#m] down to an A minor 7 chord. _ _ _ _
_ [G] That's going to be played by barring on the fifth fret and then grabbing the seventh fret
of the A [F#m] string. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And [G#m] then the distortion comes back in and we're [B] going to play a D chord.
_ I'm not going to include the high E string, so we're going to play the open D, _ second
fret of the G, third fret of the B, that's a D5 chord.
_ _ And then I'm going to [D] lower the third fret of the B down to the second fret of the [B] B string.
So we can call this an A chord with D in the bass.
I'm going to go back and forth between those two chords three times, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] but we'll have distortion
on that final chord there.
So here's the [F#m] chorus.
_ _ _ One, two, three, _ four.
[F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ There it is. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
