Three Tunes Tuesday—Black Sabbath
It is another beautiful week to recommend three awesome tunes to the music community. I have honestly been enjoying the past few Tuesdays and getting to discover new music through my fellow music enthusiasts and nerds. A big thank you to @ablaze for kick-starting this wonderful initiative that is now 190 weeks old.
For this week, I will be discussing a very iconic band, one that arguably invented heavy metal in the eyes of many, one whose creativity and innovation birthed the dawn of a new time and paved the way for modern metal music. I am talking about Black Sabbath. Stick around if you're mildly into rock music.
I first came to learn about this band from one of my audience members on my new YouTube channel at the time so commented that I should try learning some of their riffs to play on my channel, and my oh my, I still haven't finished learning the sheer volume of riffs contained in their songs, and I probably won't for a few more years.
Without boring you too much, let me dive right in to the first song of theirs that I will be recommending here today—Sweet Leaf.
The guitar part of this song is relatively simple, compared to some of their other stuff.
Here is a YouTube link to the song.
By the way, the crazy guitar riffs in their songs were mostly created by Mr. Tony Iommi, who was the lead guitarist of the band. To the best of my knowledge, he lost the tips of a couple fingers on his left hand, but that didn't stop him from writing a playing killer riffs.
The second song of theirs that I will be recommending here is a personal favorite titled Paranoid.
Here is a YouTube link to the song.
The third song I will be dropping here even though there are so many great ones to choose from is A National Acrobat.
Here is a YouTube link to the song.
This brings me to the end of this post. I look forward to reading entries from other people.
