Black Sabbath tabs for Symptom of the universe

About this song

"Symptom of the Universe" by Black Sabbath, from their 1975 album "Sabotage," is considered one of the earliest examples of thrash metal. Tony Iommi's guitar riff in the song is iconic, blending heavy distortion with fast-paced palm-muted picking. Geezer Butler's bassline is prominent, adding a driving force to the track. The song showcases the band's evolution towards a heavier sound, influencing generations of metal musicians.
