Artist: Pantera
Album: Cowboy from Hell
Song: Cowboy from Hell
Tuning: D G C F A D
This song sounds best to me when tuned to D (D,G,C,F,A,D)
Some people seem to get confused with D tuning. This tuning is not Drop D.
Drop D is the same as E tuning except the E string is lowered to D (D,A,D,G,B,C)
Everything here is 100% correct. I borrowed the solo from one of the other tabs.
/ = slide to next fret (12/15) Play 12th fret and slide to the 15th
h = hammer on
* = Palm Mute
Riff 1 with flanger
Repeat a couple times
