Song
Black Sabbath - Warning
First and foremost I have to say this is one of the best Black Sabbath songs ever and
definitely expresses Tony at his best. Now this isn't the song from the first album
titled "Black Sabbath", this is the song from the Symptom Of The Universe Box Set which
I haven't found anywhere else but in this set. It is kind of the same as the one from
the first album but it's a little shorter and pieced together a little differently. I
have transcribed it for you guys cause I'm tired of not seeing it, and anyone who can
play "Sabbath" style blues will definitely love this one. So pick it up and play, I'll
try and guide you through this as best I can, and any questions or comments send 'em to
Skatemate89@aol.com,
Now the song starts off with a harmonic with a little distortion, then the
bass riff and drums kick in, and then a few seconds after Tony comes in:

OK, now there's a pause, then Tony comes in again and plays this.
It will take a while to get the rhythm going smooth and play it just like
he plays it but once you do, well it feels good...

?(6:09)?
Wow. Now Tony really picks it up in
this big solo with nothing behind it. It's
basically impossible to transcribe, ....
sorry. But then there's a pause and he picks
it up with some distortion and again,
nothing behind him for this bluesy one:

When you hit the 3, let it ring
for a whopping 23 seconds with
some echo and vibrato's. Then:
