This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Shattered

from Drew C.

"Shattered" By Pantera

From the album "Cowboys from Hell"

Tabbed by: Drew Callaway CFH16@hotmail.com

Note from author: I saw Dime play it, so I know it's right.

Standard Tuning

Palm Muting:-----------

Stroke Direction(below each riff) Up:/ Down:\

"Nirvana Muting"(Muted Strings):XXXX

(like that crap in the opening of "Smells Like Teen Spirit")

Vibrate:~~~~~~~~

Slide:/

Opening Riff: If you play the C# on the E string instead of the A string

it sounds a whole lot heavier.

C#................................................

\ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ /

Trem pick HARD and FAST ....and so on.

Opening Riff 2: Pretty easy and straight-forward. Make sure you hit the Dm

chord quick enough.

E D E E Dm E E...............

E| ---12--10--12---------0-----0------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------------------|

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \

Main Riff: Make sure you're warmed up before even trying it. Remember to

watch the stroke direction carefully. It's not difficult at all if you

know what you're doing and you're quick enough. The only hard part is

getting the palm muting right.

\ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ / \ \ \ \ \ \ \

Verse Riff: This is a fast, easy riff based on the F# minor pentatonic

scale. Simply play the first measure twice, and continue on.

Don't slide between the notes in the legato lick on the G and D strings.

Hammer-on and pull-off as indicated. Vibrate the Dm chords with

your tremolo a little bit if you have one. I can't get the timing right on

this on a computer, so use your head.

Trem Pick..............

Chorus Riff: The chorus is just the main riff(seen above) played a full step

higher twice, the the main riff played twice with a simple ending variation.

For those of you who have no clue what I'm talking about, I'll tab it out

for you. Once again, if you follow the stroke direction this riff is simple.

"Freezing..."

Then go back and play the verse riff for the second verse, then the chorus

again.

Bridge: I'm pretty sure Dime is using a Digitech Whammy here. If you have

one, all you do for the riff is play the normal power chord, then press

down 3/4 of the way down the pedal, then depress it just before each

following power chord. The following tab illustrates the best way to play it

if you don't have a pedal. The ascending legato lick is easy, just remember

that you go up one half step each time.

E| [---8--------8/----2/0-------]-8----8/5---7/4/0--8/5/0--9/6/0-10/7/0-11/8---|

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \

This is where the solo starts. Basic power chord rhythm. I play it on the

E because it sounds better, but I'm pretty sure Dime plays it on the A on

the CD.

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \

Then back to the chorus.

Closing: Simple. Just go down one full step each time.
