excellent learning tool . Loads of fun to play along with.
I just got my copy of this and for the $8.50 that I paid for it I feel that I’ve gotten my money’s worth, but I do have a few complaints although rather minor. First, that intro or sometimes called “Preamble” to “War Pigs” is suspiciously missing. But, on the plus side all of the other parts are intact including the solo section and outro. The intro to Iron Man has a slight error. Most transcriptions show the drum intro lasting 2 measures of 4 and then the guitar dive bomb comes in repeats on 1st beat of the 3rd measure and then repeats after 2 more measures and again and then the last time before the guitar riff starts there is one measure of 4 and one of 2 beats. Tedious though this may seem it is noticeable and unless I’m mistaken they’ve cut “Iron Man” one verse short. Still kind of fun but for learning Sabbath/Iommi riffs in greater detail I recommend the book by Troy Stetina where the songs are discussed in great detail and perfomed one section at a time at normal tempo and then at slow speed. Also they could’ve put tuning notes for standard tuning as well as the drop tunings (which Troy Stetina also does). It’s still kind of fun to play along with if you already know the songs but not that great if you don’t.
I ordered this book for my 10-year-old son who just began taking guitar lessons last month. Within one day he could play major sections of four of the songs. He is extremely pleased with this book! In case you are wondering which six classics are included in this book, they are: Iron Man, Paranoid, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Snowblind, Sweetleaf and War Pigs.
The best way to learn and play Sabbath songs. The tablature and songs are excellent quality and superbly transcribed! A must get for cover or tribute bands!
