From Marty Music.

Learn how to play “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath with this step-by-step guitar tutorial! In this classic rock guitar lesson, I break down every riff, section, and solo from this heavy metal masterpiece.

This is an updated version of one of my very first lessons—back now with better sound, better visuals, and clearer instruction.

What you’ll learn in this video:
⦿ The iconic Iron Man riff (both power chord + single note versions)
⦿ Hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides Tony Iommi-style
⦿ E minor + C# minor pentatonic licks for the solo sections
⦿ How to match that eerie intro using behind-the-nut string bending
⦿ A full walkthrough of the structure and how to piece it all together
