Black Sabbath - Back Street Kids From Black Sabbath's "Technical Esctasy" Album - November, 1976 Tuning Info: Tune to Standard E (440Hz), Moderate, 120 beats/min., 4/4 count NOTE: Lyrics may not match written music or may be incorrect. Multiple guitar parts may not align due to space constraints. Playing Notes: You might try holding your pick at at sharp angle to the strings. Palm mute the open E ONLY! I found that the easiest way for me to do this was to rest the heal (little finger side) of my pick hand on the rear bridge. It took quite a bit of practice!! Just slightly palm mute the D hammer on E notes ring. This gives the chord the "buzz" sound you hear on the CD. Have fun!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
