PRIMAL CONCRETE SLEDGE - PANTERA
                       --------------------------------

 Note lengths are written below the measures :
   w - whole note
   h - half note
   q - quarter note
   e - eight note
   s - sixteenth note
   t - thirty-second note

 Rest are noted as capitalized note lengths ie:
   W - whole rest
   H - half rest
   Q - quarter rest
   E - eight rest
   S - sixteenth rest
   T - thirty-second rest

 + is used to show slurs between notes, eg slide up from 5 to 7 without
  picking the 7 would be notated like :
   |---5/7----
       e+e
   sliding up with picking the 7 would be notated like :
   |---5/7----
       e e

 Notes without a note length are cue notes.


  h - hammer on
  p - pull off
  b - bend (amount of bend above the measure)
  r - release bend
  x - muffled string
  / - slide up
   - slide down
  ~ - vibrato (vib. above a measure means a more exaggerated vibrato)                 PRIMAL CONCRETE

	Pantera are the shit, they fuckin rule, they were the most true metal band besides black sabbath, those too bands were the be all and end all of the metal life, Drinking everything, doing every drug, fucking anything that moved and playing the best fuckin music ever, all i have to say is they are the gods of there time
