Guitar Interactive – Issue 66 2019

(^56) Guitar Interactive Issue 66
In case you’ r new to unison bends, the idea is that you’ll be bending a note on one
string (in this case, the 15th fret on the B string) to match the pitch of a fretted
note on the next string up (12th fret on the high E). Don’t worry about match-
ing the pitch to the cent - it’s the “beating” sound between the two notes that gives
these bends their “crackling” character.
So with that, we’ve reached the end of this session. I hope you’ve enjoyed this explo-
ration of Tony Iommi’s playing and songwriting style, and hopefully, you’ve picked
up a few ideas to use in your own songs and solos. See you in the next one!
