“Iron Man” by Black Sabbath - Video Guitar Lesson
One of the all-time HEAVIEST guitar riffs must be “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath. Fill your victims (neighbors!) full of dread by turning your amp up to 11 and playing this Tony Iommi classic!
The tabs are in the video (full and 1/2 speed, how cool!) but here they are for your off-video practice.

Metal Guitar Jam Track #3 - Van Halen style
Give the people what they want! That’s the credo I hope to follow with my guitar teaching website, GuitarTeacher.com. And as I look at my most popular posts I see “Metal Jam Track #1” competing neck and neck with… “Metal Jam Track #2“! So, can you guess what I came up with for today’s jam track? That’s right! It is time for Metal Jam Track #3!!
Straight off of my Van Halen Style lesson series for Riff Interactive comes this “Hot For Teacher” sound-a-like jam track in the key of A.
The following scales all work well:
And here is how to play the backing riff. Always good to know the rhythm parts, even for you lead players. The groove is a hyper-speed rock shuffle.

Metal Guitar Jam Track #2
I am really digging Wordpress. It is the ‘blogging’ software that I switched to a couple of months ago to run this website but, really, it does so much more. It is an excellent content management system, it has a built in comment function and it tracks popular posts and pages. And the price is right: FREE!
Anyway, I have consistently found my Metal Guitar Jam Track near the top of my most popular pages. Being as this site is for you, today I give you another metal jam track! Again in the key of A minor.
The following scales all work well:
The Phrygian mode adds an exotic character that is cool though it includes a B-flat note that is kind of a clunker against the F chord in the progression.
Any other jam track styles you want to hear more of? Maybe I am missing out on a new popular style? Polka/Reggae/Speed Metal hybrids? Let me know by commenting!
Metal Guitar Jam Track
Did you ever have one of those days you just feel like ROCKIN??!! That is just about every day for me 
And I hope to make this one of those days for you with the following METAL GUITAR JAM TRACK!!
The jam track pedals on the open 5th string A note while stabbing out a C major triad across strings 2, 3 and 4 at the 5th fret. The resulting Am7 tonality is truly METAL! Try any or all of the following minor tonality scales.
Now pick up that six-string and bash those frets into whimpering submission!
