Band: Pantera
Song: Good Friends And A Bottle Of Pills
Album: Far Beyond Driven
Bassist: Rex Brown
This is a great ass Pantera song. I figured the song to be of a 5—string bassseeing
as how Rex plays 5 string. If you only have a 4 string than tune it B—E—A—D. You wont
need the high G for this song. On your bass...turn your pan pot (pickup focus) a small
turn towards the bridge pickup. Add a small amount of tone and you should be ready to go.
Here goes:
B|———3333—3———3333—————————
E|—————————————————————————
A|—————————————————————————
D|—————————————————————————
G|—————————————————————————
Repeat this all the way to the chorus (1:07). Pause, and than repeat (at 1:09) through
the chorus. Stop again at 1:20. Resume this again at 1:25. Repeat the entire bass part
until 1:50. Pause again. resume at 1:52. Stop at 2:16. Resume again at 2:18. Stop completely
at 2:24. Let the drum start at 2:38, and than join in with the drums at 2:42 and than just
fade out slowly about 5 or 6 more until the end.
It is really a simple song, and very fun to play.
Pantera was an American heavy metal band from Arlington, Texas, formed by the Abbott brothers, Vinnie Paul (drums) and "Dimebag" Darrell (guitar) in 1981. Bassist Rex Brown would join in late 1981 with vocalist Terry Glaze. In 1987 Phil Anselmo would become the group's lead vocalist. After disbanding in 2003, any hope of a reunion were lost in 2004, when "Dimebag" Darrell was shot and killed on-stage at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio by gunman Nathan Gale while performing with his new band, Damageplan.
