Black Sabbath: Paranoid (Guitar Recorded Versions)

Having bought the tab book for Volume 4 I was hooked, got the first album next and thought, "Do I really need tab for this classic album, it must be all out there". Wrong, so far this transcription has been bob on. Nothing really in the way of performance notes. Just the tabs but they are great. Please note some reviewers have said there is no tab for the intro to 'Fairies Wear Boots', there is. It is called Jack The Stripper and is all there, verbatim. Now will they please publish one for Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

Very accurate tabs. A bit of background info on Iommi's technique would have been a bonus. I would call Black Sabbath's music straightforward rather than easy. Very riff-driven, as the Paranoid album demonstrates. The guitar work was in standard tuning unlike the albums that followed. I'd recommend this book for a beginner/intermediate guitarist.

Guitar tab for one of the greatest metal albums ever.

The print is a bit small
