			      PANTERA
		       The Art Of Shredding

INTRO -- Bass and Drums       (bass is just low E chuggin')

	   P.M.                 P.M.                REPEAT both bars once

|----2------------1----|---2-----------1-----harmonic whammy|
|----2------------1----|---2-----------1-----bar crap- some of
|----0------0----------|---0------0----------Darrell's best!)
					     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
|---------4-2---------------------|         harmonics on a few notes,
|-------------5--4--2---2--4------|         listen up and you can
|-0--2----------------5------5----|         figure it out.

|-----------------------------------------------------|    (not totally
|-----------------------------------------------------|      positive
|--4-----4-----5-----5-----4-----4--5-----5----5--4---|      about this
|-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------2-----2--------|      part)

|-----------------------------------------------------|

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)
|---------------------------------------|            --------------|
|---------------------------------------|            --------------|
|---------------------------------------|            --------------|
|-----------6----------5----------8-7---|            --------------|
|-------8---4------7---3------6-7/6-5---|            --8-9-9---98--|
|--0-0--6-------0--5-------0--4-5-------|            --6-7-7---76--|

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#

    P.M.----------           1st time only

|---------------------------|--8-\--|
|---------------------------|--8-\--|
|--6---6---6---6------------|--6-\--|
|----7---6---5---4---4-5-6--|-------|


    this riff's kinda tricky -- it's hard to keep the D# staccato

SHHHHRRRRREEEEDDDD!!!
    P.m.-       P.M.      -  -
|------------------------------|
|------------------------------|
|------------------------------| this part's very strange
|------------------------------| to look at, just listen
|-6-6-----6/7\6--66-----4------| to get the feel right
|-4-4--0--4/5\4--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!
