Ok, for you Pantera freaks out there, here is a slab of classic Diamond
Darrell-filled riffs and Philip Anselmo-angry vocals. This tune is based
around a chromatic ascending power chord tuned way down to a D (that means,
from high to low, the strings are D, A, F, C, G, D). To attain that rude
tone that Darrell uses, you must first set your distortion level pretty high.
Second, add a little stereo chorus (with the rate set just before midpoint)
to give the guitar a little breathing room. Personally, I find that tube
amps work GREAT for Pantera’s tone. But I read recently in an interview
that Darrell’s Randall amps are solid-state!!! (You’ll understand what I mean
if you play through a solid state amp and try to get a Pantera-like tone).
It’s your call, though. Work with whatever you feel is right. Finally,
throw a wah-pedal in for the interlude. Jam the pickup switch up to the neck
for a fat, chunky sound and your set! Have fun. Any
questions/comments/regrets, please Email me at [email protected].

Play the fifth riff once more to the verses, yet end with a chord progression
of E5, Bb5, F5 (instead of the «tremoloed» E note (12th fret).

|————-P.M. (these are all ONEs)——————-|
|-trem.pick-|
And on, and on, and on…
Notes: The Sixth Riff uses F notes on the low E string. Although
some of the notes appear to be 11’s, they are actually 1’s. They need to be
close enough to show the double-pick speed Darrell is using. Also, on the
tail end of both fifth and sixth riffs, Darrell uses tremolo picking on the
12th and 13th notes (respectively).

I don’t have a trem, but I
know the second time the
|P.M.| note is a 2-octave A
|———————————|
|———————————|
|———————————| Darrell plays with artificial

right after that riff hit a bunch of C#’s then a huge D —
here we go! !
This is the MASSIVE RIFF for the chorus (right before
P.M. the verse starts)

that chord in between the end of the chorus riff and the verse is a hard F#
the verse riff is just a palm muted progression of notes-
it goes from E to G# to E to A#

|——————————| this part’s very strange
|——————————| to look at, just listen
|-6-6——6/76—66——4——| to get the feel right
|-4-4—0—4/54—44—0—2-0—0-| (also, I think that slide
from G# to A may
actually be a bend)
then do a chromatic descent from A# into the blitzkrieg!
ok, solo’s next— you guys are on your own for that baby!!
There’s a lot of cool bends and a TON of stretching involved
I suppose the last thing is the chorus and that descending Eb thing—
there’s a harmony that’s something like this on the last time—
RIGHT!
