In this episode of RIFFS OF DOOM I'm playing through the entire rhythm section from Megalomania by Black Sabbath.

Megalomania, from Sabbath’s Sabotage album, is one of my favorite songs of all time. For this demo I’m playing a stock 1965 Gibson SG special with P90 pickups, running into a Fuzzlord Effects Does It Doom Riff Master OC44, into the Bass Input of a 1969 Laney LBO-60 60 W Supergroup.

The guitar is tuned to C# standard and the song is played in the key of F# minor. It utilizes the F# Natural Minor Scale {R, M2, b3, p4, p5, b6, b7} and the F# Phrygian Mode {R, M2, b3, p4, p5, b6, b7} along with some really cool major chords and chord progressions. The use of major chords is something that Tony did relatively often, and it’s something that I find still to this day to be very unique to the Sabbath sound and approach.

All of what I’m playing I learned by referencing live footage of Tony playing the song during some of the instrumental segements over the last few reunion tours.
