You might be wondering why I'm covering Paranoid.Haven't you already done it? Well, yes, but that's not the end of the story. I have covered it, but I'm not happy with my cover. It wasn't my playing that was the issue, but the video production. It just looks bad. The tab has too much white space, there's no ghost measure to lead in to the next part on top of the scrolling that isn't a clean transition. The video is dark and weirdly colored. I'm looking kind of weird too, and then the plain wall with the heat spot doesn't help either. All of this is combined with not really being able to hear my playing at all, and everything just slightly out of sync from the other elements (tab, song, bass playing, & video of me).
There's a lot wrong with the video, and I want to fix that by replacing the video with one I'm proud of, rather than just removing the cover altogether. I could do that, but for those who want to learn the song through me, I don't want to take away what I've already done. I can also use this as a chance to tweak the tab to be more accurate (though it's pretty good to begin with).
Generally the bpm is between 162 to 167 with a little bit of variance
Live, Geezer also plays it a little different than the studio version. He often adds the 7-9-7-9 bit in wherever he feels like
The song was also used in Guitar Hero, but not the studio version/master. There is a recording of Metallica & Ozzy playing it that was used though.
• BLACK SABBATH - "Paran...
Mimed, but Geezer is using a P-bass with fingers (as expected)
1:49 - shows his right (plucking) hand playing over the neck
Shows general positioning all throughout (middle of neck)
• BLACK SABBATH - "Paran...
Geezer using fingers and a P/J bass
1:14 - bar 12
2:04 - Bridge, different from studio, but that part is used elsewhere. Individual plucks per note
2:51 - shows it clearer (after solo bridge)
2:57 - same
3:20 - bar 90 positioning
3:27 - bar 94
• Video
Not a P-bass, but one of his standard basses. Looks like a Peavey?
0:17 - good shot of Geezer in the opening verse
• Geezer Butler of Black...
1:48 - Geezer slides in 21 for the arpeggio that's in bar 22
• Black Sabbath - "Paran...
0:31 - plucking hand disappears out of shot, but appears to play bar 21 all 8th notes (no slide like previous video)
1:37 - changes from the studio version (improvisation)
• BLACK SABBATH - "Para...
0:19 - initial slide happens. too fast to see detail
• Black Sabbath feat. Oz...
1:12 - the octaves at bar 35
1:53 - part of solo w/ one instance of beat 4
• BLACK SABBATH - "Para...
Not mimed, fingers, p bass
0:41 - shows verse & bar 28-30 (no hammer-on)
2:08 - no slide for bar 89
It was cool finding videos of Metallica playing it with Ozzy, Black sabbath playing it with dio and another with Phil Collins on the drums.
Thanks for watching! Enjoy :)
