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

|-----------------------------------------------------| (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
|-----------------------------|

|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!

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!
--the Sarcophage (Rob Doyle 103125.2050@compuserve.com)
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official PANTERA tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
