Another great lesson love love the pateron keep em coming 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Really appreciate it, brother! So glad you're digging the Patreon!!
@@DoesItDoom its the best everyone should get it for real
as much as this is a fantastic riff, it shouldn't be forgotten how much geezer's bassline contributes to this song.
Always!
To any Sabbath tune, Geezer is a monster bass player!
@@MachineGunManUFMS I remember the guys at my local guitar shop in Vitginia back in the 80's bagging on Geezer as one of the worst bassists they'd ever heard. Zero clue.
@@IDGAF_PLUS Zero clue is right , Geezer is a monster bassist and doesn't get the credit due outside of the metal community. Also the guy wrote almost all the lyrics to those amazing song's!
@@MachineGunManUFMS Agreed!🤘
Frank Zappa apparently said that the one from supernaut was the best riff he’d ever heard. So much fun to play!
Yep!
If only Zappa did a Doom record...
@@raynefaded cough Crack The Skye coughcough
John Bonham liked Supernaut as well. When Zeppelin and Sabbath got together to jam in 1973, Bonzo wanted to jam on Bill Ward's drum set to Supernaut. Bill told him no, because Bonzo broke his last drum set. "Got no religion. Don't need no friends. Got all I want, I don't need to pretend. Don't try to reach me because I'll tear off your mind. I've seen the future and I've left it behind."
Always amazed at how Tony came up with all those early riffs
Same.
Very cool man, Vol 4, my favorite Sabbath album.
Thanks, Anthony!
Mine too. It also has a cool album cover
I find myself writing this too often... but great tone, great playing, and let's never forgot what fucking MASSIVE riffs the Sabbs belched forth
Thanks man. Massive indeed!
Another fantastic lesson. Thank you so much, Steve. You are the only one on CZcams that I have seen who correctly plays/teaches us to take the D Root 5 power chord shape from B to C#. At first, I thought you had it wrong because no tabs, no lessons and no covers were played that way. But then I watched live footage of Tony and sure enough, you nailed it. Your lessons are very very accurate. I really appreciate your precision.
Thanks Sam! So glad you liked the lesson.
Gotta love Supernaut and Bill Ward’s drum break in the middle!!
For sure!
I can’t watch this one enough! Love this tone!
Thanks brother. Glad you liked it!
Favorite sabbath jam ever! Nailed the tone 100%
Thanks Josh. Tried to get as close as I could.
Man, if you drop the 6th string down to F#, could you imagine the octave power of that riff? It would probably sound like whales galloping through a golf course.
Ha!
It does. Run a 74.
This is gonna be soooo good
Thanks man! Hope it was helpful!
@@DoesItDoom soooo good 🤘🤘🤘
Ya Never let us down man
One of my favourite Sabbath Songs. Thx for the lesson 🤟🏻
Sure thing! Hope it was useful!
New sub to your channel. I just recently picked up an SG, and dedicated it to playing and learning Sabbath riffs, and it looks like your channel will be a great complement with that.
Awesome! Hopefully the lessons here will give you a good place to start.
Thanks for breaking this down, it's my favorite Sabbath song!
Sure thing. I hope the lesson was helpful.
@@DoesItDoom It is helping me justify buying an SG so I can have a guitar in C#
@@erikberg8352 well worth it!!!
10s on C# is such a good feeling. Makes me want an SG, but I have all Fender stuff...
I play a tele with super distortion hot rail pick ups and it sounds brill. Just modify your gear
Like Mr. Saint says -- I also think a Telecaster would get pretty close, if you've got one of those. Maybe though the right box to thicken it a little. Crank the tone down, push the amp.... experiment.
Awesome. Realised i haven’t been playing that slide up around 5:55. Difficult to hear but it’s there.
Was hard for me to tell if he does it on the original recording but he definitely does it in all live performance footage I’ve found.
@@DoesItDoom cool. Ever heard Uncle acid and the deadbeats? Nail that classic Iommi sound.
@@mattyoxide3650 yes.
Yeah, I see Iommi doing it live, but somehow I thought it was open e and b strings, feels easier and more natural. I even wondered if Iommi relearned his own song wrong, but that’s not possible. 😂
Steve - magic stuff as always. Great attention to detail and with the added bonus of getting to watch the Riff Lord too. Many thanks.
Thanks, Ian! Glad you enjoyed the lesson. Was a fun one to put together.
Awesome breakdown of one of my favorite songs. I loved "Supernaut" since I was a toddler and our stoner neighbors in Marina Del Rey blasted Sabbath24/7 back around '75-'76 till one of them kicked the bucket on scag. I'm forever grateful to them for getting me into Sabbath at an early age. Iommi was always one of my earliest influences. Some of the first songs I learned on guitar at the age of eleven were Sabbath tunes. C# tuning is step one to Sabbath's black magic.
If your channel was a thing when I was 12-18 I’d probably most definitely be a much better guitar player, but who knows. Growing up with CDS, boomboxes and TABS from ultimate guitar was enough. Doing the lords work, brother.
Glad to hear that, man. My goal when starting the channel was to make videos for my 16 year old self lol. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
This made my day I’ve been wanting to learn this for awhile. Time to grab the sg!
Awesome! Hope it's helpful, Tim!
@@stevereis9253 it definitely was I got this riff down in 10 minutes where I tried watching different lesson on this song a few weeks ago but it was so confusing I couldn’t figure it out I love how simple your lessons are they always make sense and are easy to learn
@@timgriffin3785 Man I really appreciate that! Making the lessons easy to follow and learn from is the goal.
Definitely one of my favorite songs to jam to by Black Sabbath!
Yes!
@@DoesItDoom I was curious if you could do some kind of a tutorial video for those of us who don’t know how to use a fuzz pedal. I’m probably going to be buying one soon but I don’t want to oversaturate my sound but the way you have it set is perfect.
A personal favorite. Nice break down
Thanks, Warren!
What a way to start my day with a great Supernaut lesson from you Steve! Thanks so much for wearing one of my shirts and letting folks know where they can get one for their own. A perfect vid from start to finish that really put a smile on my face...makes me wanna reach out and touch the sky! 😉
Thanks, Karen! Thanks again for sending over that awesome live footage. I really appreciate it
Love the shirt!!😍
Man, you nailed it, thank you for the lesson !! Iommi is the riff lord...
This is awesome. By the way, I''ve got the same 60w Laney head that I've had for years and more recently found a matching cab with Goodman speakers. It's basically the only thing I record through now.
Dream cab! Congrats!
@@DoesItDoom It's technically a 4x12 bass cab like what Geezer Butler used. I left 2 of the speakers in and swapped the other 2 for 40-watt Goodmans Audioms. Things insane.
I wonder if Mr. Iommi still owns his old laney amps! Great lesson!
Awesome lesson!! Covering the greatest band of all time!!
Thanks, Rob! I'd have to agree.
Great stuff!
My friend and me have been talking about this song this weekend after he sent me a clip from The End which was used on a Frank Zappa video. We were taken back by the ‘extra’ chord before the C#7 in the verse riff; no one on the Internet appears to know it.
Thanks for confirming; how about covering Tomorrow’s Dream? Few people get that right either!
Yes! Was excited to incorporate that chord in the lesson. Never seen it included before either. I will definitely do Tomorrow’s dream.

If it wasn’t 2 in the morning I would be playing
No idea how you keep those light strings in tune ! Truly a master 🙌
King Steve 👑
They come out of tune pretty easily. No idea how Tony does 9’s.
@@DoesItDoom I played along and jammed it today. Funny to play it, riff is wonky without drums.
My sunday fix of doom heaven! As always, you knock it waaay out of the park! Thanks brother, and as always, best wishes from the 🇬🇧👍
Thanks Alan! 🧙🏻♂️🧙🏻♂️
@@DoesItDoom You're very welcome bro! 👍
Sounds great
Thanks Jeff!
Sounds better than the “Live at Ontario Speedway ‘74” bootleg! Man, Iommi could make so much lovely sound with nothing more than a guitar and amp.
Thanks, Eric! Love that show.
Agreed. Great show. There’s a lot of 73-75 live shows uploaded to CZcams. Ontario and Detroit are the best in both quality and set lists. The mid-seventies shows had all the best Ozzy era tracks, and some live, awesome B-Sides like “Meglomania”. Good shit!
U forgot the cocaine
@@arvid2025 That plus polyester bell bottoms and excessive amounts of studded fringe.
Too much coke
Thanks ! That's really useful 👍
Cheers from France o/
Glad it was helpful!
Wow thanks for lesson
Glad you liked it!
yes unbelievable
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
That was awesome man,, dig that shirt.
Thanks man! Very cool shirt.
My favorite band like most , me and my wife walked out to supernaut to be greeted at our wedding everyone went nuts, we even had the wedding band play fairies wear boots all the old metal heads got up and danced with the devil . Lol great time , fucking killer lesson
Damn, that is the most beautiful guitar I've seen on CZcams!
A nice one for sure.
@@DoesItDoom Nice? Lol, perfect is how I'd describe it. Gibson has the best luthiers in my opinion. Gibson guitars give back something to the player. Les Paul and SG guitars require less sound enhancement "effects" than any other guitars I've played. Also, great job on how to play Supernaught, everyone else played it on the second fret of the d string and didn't down tune. All hammer ons and pull off, no slides. You definitely gave the best lesson.
Awesome lesson and breakdown!
Thanks for watching Mike!
Great quick lesson
Thanks man!
Great lesson Steve!!! It does raise the question however, can you have too much Sabbath on your channel???!!! The answer is no my brother, you cannot have too much Sabbath on your channel!!!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
That’s a good thing-cause there is more where this came from. Lol.
@@DoesItDoom Sabbath IS Doom. It's always appropriate.
Man you did a fantastic job on it! Tone is on the fuckin money brother.
Thanks brother. 🙏🏻🤘🏻
Great lesson man!
Thanks, Jason. This one was a lot of fun.
Magic riff and sound.
Thanks again for all you do!
Thanks so much for watching!
Hi Steve great lesson of this amazing song!
Yes!! Glad you liked the lesson.
I am always learning something from DID. I always played that D chord on the A string 5th feet, and found the fingering kind of clunky when going from that D to the Hendrix chord. I have always had the bad habit of tunnel vision and only seeing things one way. This way will make it a lot easier.
Great lesson. Thank you!
Sure thing, Andrew! Thanks for watching.
Superb instruction.
Great lesson!
Thanks Andy! 🧙🏻♂️🧙🏻♂️
Caught my hands on fire and basically all I can play now is Black Sabbath. If I don’t tune to c# it hurts too bad
Amazing all the steps required today to recreate what Tony did just plugging into am amp....
And even though he has been appreciated by fans,
he was somewhat underappreciated by fellow famous musicians at the time,
the whole band was,
they couldnt seem to understand the impact Black Sabbath had or why they did, which is weird.
There are many comments made by big celebrity musicians at the time, kind of mocking or putting Black Sabbath down
Awesome job brother , sounded amazing!✌🤘🎸
Thanks Mike!
@@DoesItDoom 👍Can never get enough of the mighty Sabbath and the riff master!🤘
Thanks!
Sure thing!
At last! Live At Last? (no, well, it's on there too, with a "guess what?" Ozzy intro) At last! Somebody shows me a way to play Supernaut I can actually replicate. Thank you. I had a bad day until I encountered this. Now it's a memorable day. I get ta have evening Supernaut reward for my earlier daytime troubles.
Glad to hear it!!!
That slithering syrup paced pre sludgery going on
Yes!
Thanks for the lesson man!🧟
Sure thing!
Nice I'm a guitar player also really enjoy the channel thanks
Just absolutely cool music! Amazing guitar rift! Great work! :)
God Sabbath fkn rules!
Great vid
Thanks dude!
Man you do it so well.. savage🤘🇮🇪
Thanks so much.
Fantastic work. Doom Wizard.
Appreciate it man! Thanks for watching.
Awesome 🤘🏻
I already know how to play the song but yet here I am watching it being done with kickass '65 SG and a great sound! 🐐 ...also have you toned down the more aggressive presentation you had on the earlier vids? If so, I'm glad. I feel that the fans of this kind of heavy music are more mellow and calm
Just a natural evolution over time as ive become more comfortable and experienced making videos.
@@DoesItDoom i just thought you started doing these sober :)
@@torontotonto6189 a fair assumption. 😂
Killer lessons 🤟🤟
I have an early 2000's Gibson SG with the crescent 🌙 inlays. Been considering having it set up for C Sharp Standard with Power Slinkys for Sabbath stuff. I got plenty of guitars so i can spare that SG for an odd tuning. I love how C Sharp Standard sounds.
I’m plugging my Epiphone Iommi sg right now . Happy Sunday! ☠️☠️☠️
Awesome!!! Hope it's useful, Phillip!
@@stevereis9253 you’re a first act fan . There’s one on Craigslist tri cities Tennessee. 501 I think . The cool thing is the neck is flamed rather nicely.
Badass song on one of Sab's best!
Can someone please explain what "life complete" means in reference to this channel's logo design?
Maybe its a reference to Sleeps song Clarity, one line of the lyrics is iommic life complete.
Nailed it!
@@erlannderrantem6972 Consider me informed! Thanks! I wouldn't have known that as I don't follow sleep and I'm not a "doom fan" per se....more a good musicin whatever form hits my eardrums and resonates with me. That said, Sabbath is the best band ever in my life, and any channel that furthers the enjoyment of their legacy is hella alright by me. Plus this guy doesn't just show you notes, he cares about tone too. Loving this channel!
Is that really a a 1965? Impressed. I’ve been playing some Sabbath with my 1993 Charvel Avenger, tonight, sounds pretty good,my Les Paul would maybe be a little better. But I love the Rhodes V styling.
.
It is. Early ‘65 SG Special with ‘64 specs.
Interesting, I’ve been playing it wrong for years! 🤣
Same! Was nice to relearn.
DAAAAAAMN!!
If you started profiling , I would buy. Especially the matamp
Not something I know much about but I like the idea.
my lord you have a model t now too i'm gonna cry
Got it about 6 months back. Such a killer amp.
@@DoesItDoom doom on brother
I just saw some guy play without the slides up after the C#7, which is the most stand out or interesting feature of the song.
I've seen the future and I've left it behind.
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Good Job 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks Silvio.
You have the Supernaut Sound! :D
Thanks Doc!
@@DoesItDoom You're welcome! You also have "A National Acrobat" Sound!!!
Symptom of the Universe?
Anything from Sabbath Bloody Sabbath or Sabotage (which I think is their masterpiece) will do! Thank you for the tutorial 😊
@@DrTomoculus Symptom has been on my mind. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@@DoesItDoom YES! That would be great. Symptom was the birth of an entirely new genre, as if Sabbath weren't breaking new ground already. Had to share your Supernaut Sound. Thought it was fantastic how you got "the sound." It's the closest I've ever heard anyone get to it. Apart from Iommi!!
Awesome lesson. I got that shirt from Karen as well!
Thanks! Yes-such a cool shirt!!
Great lesson what about chorus, which I think toggles from the d to g . On the recording I hear geezer doing the doom slide after the c
Tuned…UP…to C# 🤣🤟 love you doom guys
I play 10-46 in standard - what tuning does your 10-48 set feel best under your fingers?
Could you try to do Inside the Sun by Sleep?
Yes. Could happen. Drop a request at www.doesitdoom.com/requests
Hats off! Heard they where well sponsored during the make of the album by the mighty coke company! 👍👏
damn steve i really envy your wardrobe, lol
how many doom bands t-shirts you have? great lesson as always btw!
Ha! About two decades worth! Never have too many. Thanks for watching.
great lesson, but it sounds to me that the slide ends around the seventh fret.
Did you make any modification in the setup of your guitar to play in c?
Generally if you want to get into down tuning and want your guitar to play well, you need to increase string gauge, reset neck relief, reset action, and reset intonation. Download my tuning guide here doesitdoom.com/tuningguide
Weird, when I play the Vol. 4 track, I'm not hearing the dual-note chord two frets above the 'D' chord shape (the one you say I actually a B, because of the tuning). It must be buried in the wall of sound on the album, I think they used 3 or 4 guitars on top of each other. Did Tony Iommi play it that way live or something? Really cool lesson, though. Love that SG with the P-90s. Through the amp, it nails the tone exactly. Peace.
If you watch to the end of the video you can see him play it that way live. I don’t really hear it on the record much either (although I think perhaps he’s just playing the 3rd and forth strings?). Any live footage I’ve seen he always does it though.
@@DoesItDoom Whattaya know, I just noticed he went up to that second chord as well. Ya learn something new every day. :-) Missed it the first time. Maybe he added it after the song was recorded. Still, cool to see how the song is played. I only learned it in Open G tuning, because that's all I use on my electrics. Fun song to play, that's for sure.
Super cool! What kinda wah would you use if you didnt have a parachute lay in aroind?!?
I use an Ibanez Weeping Demon.
Oh excuse me nothing too fancy gear wise for sabbath iommi I trust 😂😂❤❤❤❤❤⚡️⚔️💥
If I have Proco rat 2 should I use it to boost an amp or should I us it entirely for distortion for playing sabbath?
Depends what kind of amp you've got. Tony's classic tone is an overwound bridge P90 pickup with the volume backed off to 8-9 and the treble at full running into low gain vintage tube amp (Laney Supergroup) boosted with a slightly modified Rangemaster germanium boost.
@@stevereis9253 It's crazy how unsaturated his tone his but it sounds massive
@@PapaRikkiBalls yes, I think realizing how unsaturated his tone is is the first part to approaching it correctly!
@@stevereis9253 thank you so much for the advice your channel is the best!
10-48...does that stay in tune???
Yeah 10-48 works. Iommi uses 9-42 for C# Standard, for me that doesn’t stay in tune well.
Sabbath for breakfast!
☕️🦇✝️
@@DoesItDoom peace ☮️ to you from Dallas Texas.!
It actually sounded better slowed down like most 70's Sabbath
You are a Doom Wizard
Thanks for watching! 🧙🏻♂️🧙🏻♂️

Is the 65" sgba love got weight guitar?? I'm looking for light guitar,but no good guitar stores around here..my LP has gotten to HVy as I'm pushing 60..thnx for riffage
A light weight guitar,sorry for sloppy post .
Yeah, SG’s typically weight 6.5-7.5lbs. A couple pounds lighter than a LP.
