This Riff features the main chord progression from the classic Black Sabbath song "Iron Man". This chord progression is played using a series of Power Chords, also known as "5th Chords". There are two important things to watch for in this progression, which are the rhythm of the chord changes, and the "sliding" technique that is used between several of the chords. The use of slides is a big part of the sound of this progression, and these slides really help to smooth out some of the chord changes, as opposed to strumming every individual chord. Remember that you can SLOW DOWN the video and LOOP IT until you can get each chord change up to full speed.
