Tony Iommi Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Tony Iommi (born February 19, 1948) is a guitarist from Birmingham, UK who is best known as a member of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath.In an industrial accident in his youth, he lost the tips of the middle and ring fingers of his right hand - which, being left-handed, he uses to fret the strings of a guitar. To this day, he strings his guitars with extra-light strings and wears plastic covers over those two fingers. It may be argued that Tony Iommi was a pioneer of heavy metal riffing due to his guitar playing on now famous tracks such as "Paranoid", "War Pigs" and "The Wizard".
