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.
