➡️ It's time to finally analyze the bass grooves from the GODFATHER of metal bass playing, Geezer Butler! I hope you'll accept my apology, because his influence lives deep within every rock & metal bass player (whether they know it or not). "War Pigs" from @blacksabbath features some wildly varied bass lines that are incredibly symbiotic with the guitar leads from Tony Iommi that it sometimes makes me wonder...is this song one GIANT bass solo? In this video, I take a deep dive into the bass lines of "War Pigs" from their 1970 album "Paranoid" - which truly changed rock and metal forever. I focus on Geezer's ab-libbed bass line approach, his "wooden" vintage bass tone, his contrasting choice of rhythms during the song's meter changes, how his bass parts completely drive the song's long-winded composition, how he supports Tony's leads with a ton of swagger, and much more!

Geezer Butler and Bill Ward were made to play together.
Geezer has to be right up at the top of bass players , a pure genius .
Y.
One thing I believe should be mentioned about Geezer. He's perfect for beginner bass players to learn from. Yeah, he's all over the place & playing a lotta notes... but he's totally easy to figure out w/o sheet music or tab or technology. All you need to know is that 90% of his style is beatin' the crap outtta octaves & pentatonic scales. What makes him unique is his phrasing w/in those "simple" boundaries... knowing when to hold back or cut loose. And being so simple his lines are just plain ol' fun to play.
