How To Play “Iron Man” By Black Sabbath On Bass

Here’s a quick rundown of the Black Sabbath song “Iron Man”. This is just one way to play it as far as which finger pattern I’m using.

It’s in B minor so you could start with your pinky on the 7th fret of the low (E) string and go up to the 5th fret of the A string with your index finger. Then up to the 7th fret with your pinky (even better if you play a ‘hammer on’). Then go up to the next string (the D string) on the 5th fret with your middle finger and then the 4th fret with your index finger, and go back and forth on those notes 3 times and then land with your middle finger on the 5th fret of the A string. Then either slide up to the 7th fret on the same string (A) or do a ‘hammer on’ with your pinky on the 7th fret.
