Iommi recorded three guitar seperate parts that were each different. If he had felt like it, he could have made a 20 guitar arrangement. It's called layering. First he records lead, then goes back and records the other two parts.

Yeah really you guys! sabbath fans my ass! their real names are Frank Iommi, John Osbourne, and Terence Butler. so there. And we all know there is only one guitarist in sabbath, but Tony recorded his first solo, then after the band was done, he recorded his second and third solos over the first one. THERE ARE 3 GUITAR TRACKS! Also Eplp22 is right when he says that he plays on the e and a strings rather than the a and the d strings.
