(2 versions) Here is another great tune by Pantera from their first album, "Cowboys From Hell". A few notes about the song itself: Darrell uses some wicked finger stretches in his solo. I advise to seriously warm up your left hand, especially the pinky. Other than that, just throw your amp on mega-distortion, give it a little chorus for breathing room, and throw your pickup switch up to the neck and rock! Have fun and good luck. Cowboys From Hell

When going back to the 2nd verse, play Riff D/Riff D.2 once, then play Riff E and go back to the verses. If you are going into the SOLO after the verses at this point instead, then play Riff H before solo. Riff H
