Pantera: A new level of confidence

Here is the Guitar tabs for "A new level of confidence" by Pantera. To get the complete songlist of this band please visit the index for Pantera tabs, bass tabs, chords and CD reviews.

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.

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).
