PANTERA
The Art Of Shredding
INTRO -- Bass and Drums (bass is just low E chuggin')
P.M. P.M. REPEAT both bars once
|----------------------|-------------------------------------|
|----------------------|-------------------------------------|
|----------------------|-------------------(some weird ass---|
|----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.
P.M. - - - -----------
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|-4-----4------2----2----------------------------------------|
|----2-----2-----2----2---554-554-554-2-0--------------------|

|------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|-4-----4-----2-----2----------------------------------------|
|----2-----2----2-----2---554-554-554-2-0--------------------|
P.M. - - - - - - - - - - - - -
|-----------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------| (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
|-----------------------------|
|-----------------------------|
|--9\-8--9\-8--9\-8-----------|
|--9\-8--9\-8--9\-8-----------|
|--7\-6--7\-6--7\-6--55555555-|

P.M. ----------- -------
|------------------------------------------------------------|

|--4--3--4--3--4----------------------4--3--4--3-4-----------|
|--2--1--2--1--2------2--2-2-2-2-2-2--2--1--2--1-2--3-333333-|
|---------------------0--0-0-0-0-0-0----------------1-111111-|
P.M. ==================================
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|
|4--3--4--3--4-/6--6--6--6--6--6--5---5-5---4--4--4----------|
|2--1--2--1--2-/4--4--4--4--4--4--3---3-3---2--2--2----------|
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!
|------------------------------------------------------------|

|--11----11-----11----11------------------8\-----------------|
|-----12----11-----10----9--9-10-11-------8\-----------------|
|-----------------------------------------6\-----------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|
There ya go, cowboys!
Special thanks to jamesJ@svpal.org who does all those
KILLER Sepultura tabs-- thanks a lot, man!!
KEEP YOUR EARS AND EYES OPEN FOR
the SINISTER INVASION!
