  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, please Email me at ICSLM@asuvm.inre.asu.edu.

  Play the fifth riff once more to the verses, yet end with a chord progression

  of E5, Bb5, F5 (instead of the "tremoloed" E note (12th fret).

   

   

   

   

   

   

  Sixth Riff (Main Verses)

  -1-1-11-1-1-1-11---1-1-11-1-1-1-11---1-1-11-1-1-1-11---1-11-/-13-13-13------

   

   |-------------P.M. (these are all ONEs)-------------------|

                                                             |-trem.pick-|   

   

   

   

   

   

  And on, and on, and on...

   

   

   

  Notes:  The Sixth Riff uses F notes on the low E string.  Although

  some of the notes appear to be 11's, they are actually 1's.  They need to be

  close enough to show the double-pick speed Darrell is using.  Also, on the

  tail end of both fifth and sixth riffs, Darrell uses tremolo picking on the

  12th and 13th notes (respectively).
