Notes

Studio recording, 1969-1970. Used for the solo section of 'Black Sabbath' on the debut album. Dallas Rangemaster Treble Booster used in front of amp for extra gain. No evidence of additional effects or pedals beyond the booster. Pickup selector set to bridge for solos. No amp reverb or built-in effects.

Difficulty

The solo requires controlled bends, expressive vibrato, and dynamic picking, but is moderate in tempo and not technically fast or complex.
