A New Level
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,
