    I can, and do.

    The trick is getting the tone & technique correct. Most people play it hoirribly, horribly wrong.

    I think that's one if the first riffs newbies learn, no? That and Iron Man...(here's a little secret you may not know abt Iommi and Iron Man: for that slight 1/4 step dive down at the intro, he presses the low E string behind the nut, strikes the string, then slowly releases the pressure...)

    I can and have played it too many times. Never played it live, just another riff to learn through the years. I wonder who all uses standard tuning and who uses dropped-D? Anybody? I've always used standard, but dropped-D has become so de riguer these days...
