Help on Iron Man Solo

[RockMusician91]

I've just learned the awesome solo in Iron Man (a great song by Black Sabbath). I'm confortable with it, but there is one problem. When I listened to the song the solo sounds different. I don't know, maybe I'm playing to slow or something. I've got the solo form this tab (when you go and see the song, It says solo 1 right above the solo I worked on) Here is the link:

Maybe the tab is wrong, or there are some different effects in the song that you don't have. I don't know.

im pretty sure that when the guy tabbed it, he was a flat below standard tuning, because it sounds to me like the entire song's like that.

Are you tuned to standard? The whole song is in Standard. A majority of Black Sabbath has double tracked solos. You need the tab for both parts. Tony Iommi double tracked a lot of his solos. Its almost erie how well he pulled it off.

[Bahamut]

what im saying is that im in standard tuning and the song, in the way it was tabbed, sounded a half step too low

That tab may be incorrect..

My friend lent me his "Best of Black Sabbath" book, complete with a CD and booklet full of accurate tablature.

That tab doesn't look anything like the version I learned

That's in magazine/book-style tablature. It's a little easier to read and sounds more similar (still a little different) to the real version.
