Floods Ver 5 by Pantera
Pantera - Floods ver 5 guitar tab
**********
* Floods *
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From 'THE GREAT SOUTHERN TRENDKILL'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
like many other Pantera songs...
============================================
drop D tune then drop all strings 1/2 step
============================================
note: i put most of the effort figuring out the outro solo (6:14 to 6:59)
because it sounds so *** good. I think i nailed that part pretty
well. What i have of the verse part is sketchy -- a few riffs and
the heavy interlude chords. This tab is much more complete than my
first post, but it still needs a little help. I'll be offline this
summer, so hopefully by the time i get back in September '96 someone
will have completed it.
main verse riff -- acoustic

"Wash away us all..." -- stomp on the distortion
=====================
Eb|---------------------------|
Bb|-----------------------3---|
Gb|-----------------------2---|
Db|-----------4-----------0---|
Ab|--------5--------5-----0---|
Db|-0--/4--------3-----4--0---|
here's a stab at the acoustic chords:
"then throughout..." "cold hearted..."
"and at night..." "wash away..."
Eb|----------------------------------------------------------0--|
Bb|--2-----3---------2-----3----------2-----3----------7-----3--|
Gb|--4-----3---------4-----3----------4-----3----------7-----2--|
Db|--4-----5---------4-----5----------4-----5----------7-----0--|
Ab|--2-----5---------2-----5----------2-----5----------5-----0--|
Db|----------------------------------------------------------0--|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
strum (listen to it to get the correct pattern)
INTERLUDE
=========
the heavy interludes seem to be a mix of these riffs:
RIFF 1
Eb|--------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|--------------------------------------------------------|
Gb|--------------------------------------------------------|
Db|--2 /2---2 /2---2 /2---2 /2---2 /2--3--2--0////5^--|
Ab|--2 /2---2 /2---2 /2---2 /2---2 /2--3--2--0////5^--|
Db|--2 /2---2 /2---2 /2---2 /2---2 /2--3--2--0////5^--|
bend up
RIFF 2
Eb|--------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|--------------------------------------------------------|
Gb|--------------------------------------------------------|
Db|--0_/0---0_/0---0_/0---0_/0---0_/0--1--0--0////3^--|
Ab|--0_/0---0_/0---0_/0---0_/0---0_/0--1--0--0////3^--|
Db|--0_/0---0_/0---0_/0---0_/0---0_/0--1--0--0////3^--|
|
i think they use a whammy bend up full
here to drop the open power and release
chord, but it could be hammer-
on the 1st or 2nd fret then
sliding off
play RIFF 1, then RIFF 2, then RIFF 1, then RIFF 2 without final
0 -> 3 slide. Insert this riff instead:
Eb|------------------------------|
Bb|------------------------------|
Gb|------------------------------|
Db|--0--1--2--3------3--0--3--2--|
Ab|--0--1--2--3------3--0--3--2--|
Db|--0--1--2--3------3--0--3--2--|
and now the first solo (yea, right!)
actually, it's a bit like the second solo, so looking at that may help
Here's the outro solo. It should be pretty darn correct -- right down to
the last note. Enjoy!- this one sounds SO cool with massive reverb, a
touch of delay, and of course, a fair level of distortion.
