Black Sabbath, the band credited with inventing heavy metal music, have played their last concert.

Learn Crazy Train One Of Their Most Loved Hits
There are so many songs from the Black Sabbath repertoire that we could have featured, but one that comes up time and time again is Crazy Train.
First up you’re going to learn how to play the main riff and verse, so let’s get right into it!
Okay, now that you have that under your fingers, time for part two which includes the pre-chorus and chorus with fills. Good luck!
Here is an excellent video teaching you how to play the solo step by step.
Well, we hope you enjoyed that and you’ve got it down under your fingers. There are plenty of other great Black Sabbath songs to consider learning, this is just one of many. It’s been a great journey from the guys and we wish them well in their retirement, but their music lives on.
Saw Black Sabbath at the Judges Hall in Tonypandy (South Wales) in 1970, at 14 years of age. They were supported by another Midlands group called Black Widow. Sabbath blew my mind on the night, and I have loved them ever since …. all good things come to an end, we’re all getting older!!!
oh dear, you celebrate Black sabbaths legacy by showing how to play an Ozzy solo song from after he left Sabbath? Couldn’t you find any Sabbath songs?
Well spotted, thanks for the input.
