Ill solo over it,once i find the key,by usein bass lines ,like u said..G3.

I haven't really heard a lot of Black Sabbath, but the few songs I've heard with them sound pretty simple, once I figure out the tuning used. I think that with Black Sabbath, the solos are going to be harder to figure out than the riffs, actually. But, at the same time, it'll be well worth the effort, since some of their songs have some pretty cool solos in them :)
