 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.

 you 
 will just have to listen to the song...sorry.
