Only in the Gibson App: learn to play “World Alone” exactly how Tony Iommi does
Want to learn the brand-new single from Tony Iommi? Gibson is celebrating the release of the Black Sabbath legend’s new track “World Alone” with exclusive lessons inside the Gibson App.
Available today to coincide with the track’s worldwide release via BMG, Gibson invites players to learn “World Alone” in-app, with multiple difficulty levels that make the song accessible for players at every stage of their guitar journey. “World Alone” features vocals from acclaimed Norwegian singer Jorn Lande and marks the first single from Tony’s forthcoming album From The Dark, due for release on October 23, 2026.
The album further features bassist Becky Baldwin and drummer Karl Brazil, and was co-produced by Tony and longtime creative partner Mike Exeter. Tony Iommi says of the record, “It’s an album we’ve really enjoyed making. We’re not trying to prove anything; it’s a great album, it rocks!”
The exclusive guitar lesson for “World Alone” gives newer players a clear entry point while allowing more advanced guitarists to dig deeper into the song’s riffs, phrasing and performance details. The arrangements were created specifically for the Gibson app.
The song and video lesson join the app’s growing library of courses, expanding the mission of the Gibson App: to connect players with the songs, artists, and techniques that shape guitar culture. The Gibson App is free to download with limited daily lessons; premium access unlocks the full experience and includes a seven-day free trial for annual subscriptions. Pricing and song catalog may vary by country.
