Notes

Studio recording, 1971. Guitar is Tony Iommi's iconic 'Monkey' SG with P90s. Amp is a Laney LA100BL, boosted with a modified Dallas Rangemaster treble booster. No evidence of additional pedals or effects in the solo section. All information is specific to the original studio recording, not live or later eras.

Difficulty

The solo requires intermediate to advanced technique, with fast runs, expressive bends, and sustain control. While not extremely technical, the speed and phrasing demand solid lead skills.
