This has got to be one of Pantera's grooviest songs EVER! Simple can be THE most lethal!
Forget this song if you can't alternate-pick properly since
most of the parts really require it. The song itself should be
pretty easy to play once you get the hang of it. And then it
Fuckin rocks!
I think everything I got here is correct, down to the last note.
What I didn't get was the Artificial Harmonics-part that is used
quite a bit in the song.It's fuckin beyond me because I can't
even hear the goddamn notes clear. The rest is all there.
If somebody knows the A.H.-part, please send it to me!
PLEASE SEND COMMENTS as this is my first attempt at tab
since I'm just a beginner!
