My cover* of the 1970 metal hit "Paranoid" as made famous by Black Sabbath, the fathers of heavy metal.
+++++ Made In The Hutch c2022 +++++
So after nearly 3 years of my main musical equipment and guitars being in storage (due to a major house move, work and covid restrictions, etc) I am finally back to re-learning the rock guitar. I got the finger blisters to prove it!
+++++ Paranoid +++++
So this was the first rock song I ever played on stage with my mate's band "Standard Issue", if my memory serves me well. Probably late 1970's. Although a simple 3 chord song, the speed (160bpm) and its relentless straight 8 rock "chug" was a challenge then and now. The guitar solo was a typical pentatonic E scale. But at that speed, with whole tone bends and being high up the neck took some practise... I had to record the solo in slower tempos to get up to speed! Alas, it's a version and still a rocker 50+ years later. I hope you enjoy (Play LOUD, or even LOUDER).
