He is a genius believe me
He is such a damn good guitarist just hearing him play a few cords you know it's him. He belongs to a short list of GUITAR players like Eddie Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix and a few others.
I've been listening to Black Sabbath all my life. I'm 42 now and still can't believe Tony plays missing two fingertips. The man is an incredible inspiration ðĪ
Django Rheinhart, the french jazz guitarist, was a gypsy, and his left hand was badly burned in a caravan fire. His hand was reduced to basically a claw, but somehow he became one of the greatest jazz guitarists that ever lived.
Sharon Osbourne made it possible, as when he had his accident, they were about to get their big break. So she took thimbles and attached them to his missing fingertips, and he tuned the guitar strings so that he could press the strings with less effort.
@dmg scale models... wrong. False information.
He crafted two finger tip prosthetics from wax and some other materials and used those because playing without them would of expose the finger nerve endings to the strings causing great discomfort and pain. Plus he used a lighter gauge guitar string to reduce the pressure on his finger tips
The riff master.
Good control, quiet no sloppy noise, and clean.
Though he almost exclusively used pentatonics, his leads and phrasing are insanely good - outstanding feel player! All hail the Master!
Agreed, but that one damn note is just dying for a good pick squeal ðŪ
Pentatonics are superb...most people can't make them their own signature.
@@MyBichSustained yes!! Myself included
In Iommi We Trust
Total respect for his music. Very striking and individual and influential.
Yeah that was sick. Especially that lead
All Hail the Mighty Iommi...
I remember growing up in the 70s and you tell it is was Iommi,Blackmore,Hendrix,Page,etc even is these guys changed their tone or gear.A big change happened when I bought Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.Gone was the sludgy tone of previous albums but it was still Tony.Still one of my fave guitarists.
He is one of greatest riff masters of all time
Sounds just like the albumðĪ
ðĪ
No smoke and mirrors with this guy, as was the case with virtually all of the old timers. The sound came from their playing style, as well as their guitar and amp setup. No BS, Nothing fancy, just talent and ability.
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day âĪð
Genius
Organic is how I would describe Tony Iommi's playing. Bill, Geezer, and Ozzy as well.
Awesome, just like I knew he would sound
Sick vid dude ð
Appreciate that! ð
Your the Boss Tony ! ðŽð§ðĪðâïļ
ðĪ
Love Tony
I first heard Sabs' in 1971! Still listening!
Just listen to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. He is extraordinary.
The greatest album recorded!
Good Day. WoW I really enjoyed this. Thank You & Best Regards. I subscribed.
Appreciate your support!!! ð
Viva Tony.
Tony's missing tips are located into the void. ðĪ
Tony deserves a lot more credit as a great rock guitarist.
Totally agree!
@1:40 = NOICE!
Tuned down to B Iommi is as great as everybody thinks Some of his stuff is based in jazz Very creative and abled player Love Laguna Sunrise Acoustics for him is fantastic Children of the Sea as well
He's the real deal.
All the great rock guitarists from the 70s including as you say TI, had their own distinctive sound and played lead to serve the song at least in the studio. I never liked shredding as it often seemed to be there to disguise a not particularly great song!
Great comment. ð Shredders can be interesting, but usually only for a flash and then mostly only to other guitarists.
Tony's sound is quite nasal and ratty actually. He uses a Treble Booster and that is his tone. Sabbath's thick heaviness is way more the bass and drums. Iommi's guitar fits perfectly in the middle of that.
Born to do it.
Im 56 years old and i first heard black sabbath at 8 and that was it for me. I decided i want to grow my hair and play the guitar. Alot of guitar players say the beatles inspired them. For me it was black sabbath 100 percent.
Not bad for a guy missing two finger tips. How about the guy playing his Selmer 501 with only two fingers!.
Jengo Reinhart?
@@billsmith6884 You got it. You know.
Exactly. Django is who inspired Tony to keep playing...
@@TalkLinkMusic-gd7fz I can't think of any musician or lovers of music that Django didn't inspire. The great news is, we know what he sounded like playing clean acoustic tone. The magic was pouring out from his hands.
I was just 10 years old when I rode my Schwinn Stingray bike to the "department" store to buy Black Sabbath's first album. It got pretty popular for several months....until "Paranoid" arrived and the rest is history.
Sounds just like real amps and guitars the rest of us play. Clearly the mix and post production make a huge difference. Sounds just like any garage band player in terms of tone.
The list of hall of famers she dated and/or married is staggering.

Whomever the guy playing in these clips is he sounds a lot like that dude from Black Sabbath.
In the thumbnail, it shows intact fingers?
He's left-handed, so it's his right hand that has damaged fingers.
@@TalkLinkMusic-gd7fz Okay, Thank You for that. I think he's in all of our top 5 players of All Time. An amazing enigma in time.
Iommi is great....Before BS he played cover tunes just like em.so.
Far too much is focussed on speed and shredding, this guy teaches you different thing and itâs just as good
âBrits donât shredâ. The self indulgent showing off of how many notes you can play per second is not something that was ever popular over here, in England. Look at the likes of George Harrison, Eric Clapton or Keef, it is more about solid simple riffs than complexity.
Truly excellent and very substantial points. Appreciate these insights!
Lame excuse to not practise arpeggios JUST KIDDIN. Shredding is not my thing either.
Not a fan.
