Soloing Secrets - Tony Iommi

Hey everyone! Here's the next episode of Soloing Secrets with Tony Iommi. There's a Black Sabbath Chordplay and Tony Iommi Three-For-All lesson already on the channel, but I've had a number of requests to feature more of Tony's legendary playing, so I figured it was finally time to do a deep-dive surrounding his classic soloing style in this Soloing Secrets episode, which is perfect for Metal Month - so let's dive in!

This episode takes a look at a number of areas within Tony's playing style and includes areas such as his pentatonic scale phrasing, string bending/vibrato phrases, aggressive pull-off licks, furious trilling movements, melodic phrasing, and much more! The ideas shared here were pulled from the first four Black Sabbath albums - which in many ways started it all as far as hard rock and metal music's birth in the early 1970s.

The song-based licks/phrases in this lesson came from classic tracks such as 'Black Sabbath,' 'Behind The Wall Of Sleep,' 'N.I.B.,' 'War Pigs,' 'Sweet Leaf,' 'Supernaut,' 'A Bit Of Finger,' 'Snowblind,' 'After Forever,' 'Lord Of This World,' 'Under The Sun,' and more!

Needless to say, if you're a Black Sabbath/Tony Iommi fan, a metalhead looking for some classic licks to explore, or a player searching for some classic ideas to play around with that came from an absolute guitar legend - this lesson is totally for you!
