"Paranoid" (Black Sabbath) Solo Transcription & Lesson/Analysis

In today's lesson we're gonna be chilling a bit and taking a look at one of the most classic guitar solos of all time, from Black Sabbath's "Paranoid". I know that this is a solo that a lot of you, especially those who are newer to eh instrument, have been working on recently so I figured now would be the perfect time to bring out this bad boi!

Even though many people dismiss this solo as just a "beginner" piece, there's actually quite a bit of detail that people often miss and is honestly kinda deceptively tricky (especially if you're not used to the Blues-y style of Classic Rock playing). No matter where you're at on your guitar journey I'd highly recommend adding this masterpiece to your repertoire!

Good luck and don't forget to share your progress with everyone in the Discord server!

Bradley Hall

Great stuff Michael!

Bradley Hall

Hey boss... I have asked several times but I am now pleading.. Nobody, not one solid guitar instructor has covered Chris Poland in any way. If you could PLEASE do some early Megadeth.... Wake Up Dead, Black Friday. . Give us some POLAND

Paul Baglio

Thanks so much for this! This is perfect for my current skill level. I got it down at a slower pace. I'm excited to practice getting it up to speed just need to let my fingers heal up after all those bends 😜

Michael Alexander

Can you make an easy version of Slipknot’s psychosocial

Tom Behr

Honestly I just used a stock fuzz profile on the Kemper!

Bradley Hall

I think people have different definitions for beginner or forgot what it was like to be a beginner lol

GasMan

I was just looking for stuff to do on guitar because I was bored and this came up. I have been saved

Casper Jones

Sick tone Beansley, what kind of fuzz/treble booster are you using on the track?

Paul K.
