  • DOCTORNERVE! your my only hope! you did a really great job transcribing this intro but another song I really love by sabbath is one titled "early one morning" it can be found here on youtube. It sounds great! It sounds like an easy scale and its classic sounding sabbath! what you think of it?

  • @Terrible1 Thanks a lot. Love digging up those early unreleased Sabbath tunes. Very unlikely that I'll tab that out though, must be honest with you!

  • So at the time of the Paris concert, Tony was using an SG with stock single-coil P-90 pickups in both the bridge and neck positions?

  • @Jim5150jvc He had a P-90 in the bridge position with a metal cover built by John Birch. He had a John Birch Superflux in the neck position (9 pole pickup also with metal cover). Do Google Images search on superflux iommi and you'll see some closeup photos I took of his guitar, currently on display at Hard Rock Cafe NYC

  • @doctornerve lol, I did that search and a picture of you came up standing next to the guitar hahaha

  • @nw781 And it's free!
