I like how you said “that’s how every song should start.” Just felt genuine
Thanks for checking out the video 🙏That intro is soooo good and sets up the rest of the song perfectly!!! I get psyched every time I listen to it🤜🤛🤘
My wife recently gave me a bass (a little late in life :) ) because she knows how much I love Sabbath but in particular Geezer. I am in no sense of the word very good but enjoy playing whatever I can pick up. Your videos are amazing in that you break the music down into easy chunks to follow. You have a gift for teaching! PLEASE continue to make these videos. They are greatly appreciated.
That is so cool that your wife gave you a bass and you are learning how to play!!! Thank you so much for the kind words and I’m honored to have helped in any way🤘
I'm 55 and just played my first open jam this past November. If you have a pulse, you're not too old.
lovin' this vid...
It really speaks to Geezer's ability that a forty second solo takes almost 20 minutes to explain in depth... Gonna take a long time to learn this one. Thank you very much for the lesson dude!
Right on!!! Geezer lays it down every time🤜🤛🤘
@@BeholdenToTheRiff Lay's it way to hard sometimes, for someone trying to learn his bass lines XD thankfully there are great teachers like you, ready to bring it down a few notches, allowing us mortals to play like him.
geezer did improvise this tune. it is quite easy for the player but very hard to reproduce it it exactly. it is the same thing with basslines from james jamerson, billy cogbill ea. most of the stuff is a free floating impro. very hard to replicate. „son of a preacher man“ is not even 3 minutes, and it took me hours to figure it out exactly.
2:35 2:44.... 3:22
4:12
4:19 scrumptious
Oh, one thing: I recommend playing over the area where the fret board meets the body. I find that gives that vocally “wub wub” tone from the first album.
Solid!!! That's the signature Geezer Butler playing position 🤜🤛🤘
I always play some or all of this solo when trying out a new bass because it covers must of the strings and you can hear how the bass sounds. And that 5 to 7 fret area using pentatonics became my favorite spot on bass for me. Great lesson.
That’s awesome! Such a great song to put a bass through its paces🤜🤛🤘
When ever i am jamming with my band and we are setting up recording equipment this is one of the riffs i play during my sound check, for the same reason.
Why I've discovered this page just now is beyond me. Thank you for your lessons, man! Solid!
Awesome!!! Thanks for checking out the channel and hope you have a blast learning this incredible song🤘
I just got my first bass, I'm a guitarist and I've been rocking the bass and this solo is so fun!
That’s awesome man! What kind of bass did you pick up?
I got a Jackson with P and J pickups, I can get an awesome Geezer tone out of it, Black Sabbath is my life
Nice! Doesn’t get any better than Sabbath 🤜🤛🤘
@@BeholdenToTheRiff nope, imo one of the best bands of all time
@@theleagueofrandom8066 how do I get my bass to sound like GEZZER from sabbath. Sabbath is my life too .
dont even play bass but this riff is just so damn tasty i just had to watch
Awesome!!!! Monstrous riff🤜🤛🤘
Geezer Butler is the Deepest. Self taught Godfather of the True Heavy. Thanks for bringing it to the RIFF
King of the Beasts🤘
Godfather of Doom

Awesome!!! So cool that you dig the videos🤜🤛🤘
Thanks so much. Been playing for years and never given this solo a good effort. The way you break things down is exactly how my brain works and helped me learn in just a few days. You ROCK brother!

Your channel is criminally underrated! My favorite bass tutorials are here. I hope you will get more subscribers in the near future.
Really glad you dig the channel!!!! Thank you for your support and let me know if you ever get any requests for bass lessons or song requests🤘
@@BeholdenToTheRiff maybe some Reverend Bizarre tabs would be awesome. :) I started to play on bass again (after 15 years) during the first lockdown period about a year ago and now I am really hungry for heavy riffs. Greetings from Budapest, Hungary.
Great band and I’ll put them up for vote on the Patreon page🤘
Killer tutorial, dude!! The way you break things down is nice! And I really like that you play the whole riff before and after the breakdown so you can get the timing again. Really enjoying these!!
The NIB solo I always try to imitate is the one Geezer plays on the Reunion disc. There are a couple tasty modifications to the solo he does and I just love it.
My vote for the next Sabbath lesson is anything Dio era! I think some of Geezer's basslines in that era are the best he's done. Something like Die Young!
Thank you so much for checking out the video! Geezer kills on the Reunion disc!!!! Love the Dio era suggestion and will put Die Young on the list of lessons to be made🤘
On the topic of Dio era basslines, I absolutely love the runs and fills that Geezer does on Heaven And Hell, they're so fun to play.
Thanks for this vídeo. I've struggling with this song and this makes everything so much easier.
Really glad that the video helped you out🤘

Thanks man!!! Such a killer song🤘
This song is actually named bassically on the original version European release
Awesome!!! Thanks for the info 🤜🤛🤘
🇬🇧Geezer Butler approves mate.🎸🍻
Awesome! Thanks for checking out the video🤘
You’re a brilliant teacher, thank you so much
Awesome!!! Honored to have helped in any way 🤜🤛🤘
Awesome choice...Geezer is God😁
Mandatory Sabbath song🤘
Alternatively, you can do a few bong rips and just jam around that pentatonic pattern letting your ear guide you to how it should sound 😉
Haha - most likely what Geezer was doing too🤘
Awesome as fuck!!! thank you. working my way through the video now. already got the hang of the 1st part and it's sound dope
That’s awesome man!!!! So cool you like the video🤜🤛🤘
@@BeholdenToTheRiff I've got the 1st 4 parts down solid. You've reminded me to go back and finish the rest! great tutorial. I've been trying to get my pull offs to sound better. find it hard plucking off if you understand
Heck yeah! Them pull-offs are no joke🤜🤛🤘
🤘
Awesome! Glad you dig the video🤜
checking out the logo and... um... Sri Hanuman is not really known for his bass playing ability (although the gods fixed it so he won't remember what powers he has until he actually needs them to prevent him from abusing them so in an emergency jam situation, who knows) You might want to chant Matangi a mantra. I'm pretty sure she'd have no problem with a bass veena....
Awesome interpretation! Just as Sri Hanuman is a messenger, devotee, and servant of Sri Rama, it is to the Riff which I am Beholden and to which all actions are humble offerings🙏🦍🤘
Drop c is also fun to play
Heck yeah! What’s your favorite song that uses Drop C?
Do Warning please!
Nice!!! I’ll put it on the list of lessons to be made🤘
You get about 15% more "Geezer" if you move your plucking hand to the end of the fingerboard. But nice work!
I like to leave being Geezer to Geezer :) He is such a BEAST, the best I (or any of us mere mortals) can hope for is to get the notes right and if we’re really lucky, catch a little of the “feel” of this amazing solo🤜🤛🤘
🤘🖤
Awesome! Glad you dig the video🤘
@@BeholdenToTheRiff ur channels dope 😶🌫️🦾
1:35
You get used to playing this and you can change it up and make a fuzzy funky bass solo out of it
Heck yeah!!! Would love to check out a vid of you rippin this one with some fuzz🤘
holy shoot this is so hard and frustrating but im getting there!
i guess.....
This thing is no joke!!! That’s awesome that you’re putting in the work. I had to go phrase but phrase, one at a time until I got it down. I can’t wait to hear you Slay this amazing song🤜🤛🤘
@@BeholdenToTheRiff huhu i hope so :((
Great tutorial! Just one question: around 7:30 (second half of the third phrase where there is a lick) the pullof is not indicated in tabs, am i misreading the tabs or it is just an improvised thing?
Nice catch!!! It’s a slide down from 8th fret to 7th and then a pull off from 7th to 5th. Gonna update the TAB this week🤜🤛🤘
@@BeholdenToTheRiff Thanks!
I was your 666th like 🤘
Nice!!! Hope you dig the video🐐🤘
you strike me as an old geezer (butler)
Haha - I’ll take any comparison to Geezer I can get🤘
🤘🤘
Heck yeah🤜🤛🤘
AINT THAT SOLO AT THE BEGINING OF NIB CALLED BASICALLY
Yep - well, sort of….spelled Bassically (with two of them “s”’s”)🤘
I like that bass, what is it
Thank you! It’s a Fender Precision with a custom paint job🤜🤛🤘
I'm a little confused about 07:36, does the tab not match what's played?
It seems to line up - the slide and pull-off at the end of the phrase are really fast🤘
Woah is this not in 4/4? Noice
Sort of a “free time” feel to it🤘
Great lesson but there's nothing about the tuning. From listening to the record and from watching quite a few Tony Iommi documentary's, Tony down tuned his guitar down by at least a semi tone. Therefore Geezer must have de-tuned his bass too. NIB is down a semi tone ( to my old ears) from standard tuning, which means it's easier to bend the notes on a bass.
If your learning this & finding it hard to bend notes, tune down a semitone.
Great question! The first (2) Sabbath albums are in E-Standard. It wasn’t until Master of Reality that they started tuning down, where the majority of the songs are in C# Standard. If you’re checking out live versions, they may be tuned down, but the album versions are in E Standard. As for the string bending, Geezer hit hard and bent notes like a BEAST🤘
🤘⚡🤜🤛⚡🤘
Oh yeah🤘Thanks for checking out the video🙏
@@BeholdenToTheRiff Thank you!
I dunno how you bend bass strings so easily, my strings are really very tight and nearly impossible to monkey like that.
Are they lighter strings?, cuz i went for the heaviest i could get.
Also...i use hal leonard tab books and he seems to be off with the tab on a regular basis....frustrating.
Bending on bass is no joke! As for strings, I use (45-105) for E-Standard and (55-115) for C-Standard. TABs are a great guideline, but always trust yours ears🤘
Dude why didn’t you play it all the way through in the end??
Thanks for checking out the video 🙏 If it’s a playthrough of the solo you’re lookin for, I ran through it at the start of the lesson. If the rest of the song is what you’d like to see it will be a video coming soon🤜🤛🤘
@@BeholdenToTheRiff dude make a full song that would be dope, and i subbed!
Are your arms ok now?
As they are in the vid they have always been 🤘
If you don't mind me asking, what made them like this?
