PSYCHO HOLIDAY - 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)

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture phil Wanna Be	#1 by phil taylor at Nov 7, 1972 at 12:19 AM EST
	I think everyone is right. Phil may have wrote it about one of these, or two of these theories, but the great thing about music, particualrly pantera is that we can all find our meaning in it. Awesome song, awesome riff, Probably the craziest Dime solo out there.

No Picture Alexxx <3 Lead Player	#2 by Alexxx <3 at Dec 21, 1974 at 10:19 AM EST
	I agree with MetallibangeR. I think he just needs a day away from everything that pisses him off.

No Picture Kyle Average	#3 by Kyle Bish at Dec 18, 1976 at 5:27 AM EST
	i think its about taking a day off(like a holiday) from your social life to try to get away from the shit that frustrates you and just relaxe and forget about it to try to calm yourself down cuz your life is making you go crazy and you just need some time alone, know what im sayin?

No Picture Matt Lead Player	#4 by Matt Beach at Mar 23, 1979 at 8:48 PM EST
	I'm not sure about the meaning, Exp's comment makes sense, but I also think it could be interpreted as a guy that just kinda starts losing it and locks himself away to think about everything. Either way, it's a great song!

No Picture Steve Wanna Be	#5 by Steve Smyth at Sep 11, 1981 at 8:39 PM EST
	Someday i gonna find out the meaning in this song but until then I'll just say that this song kicks ass...

No Picture Kyle Wanna Be	#6 by Kyle Kom at Mar 21, 1990 at 4:08 PM EST
	i think that this song is about tripping on drugs, a story about one of phil's trips

No Picture Austin Wanna Be	#7 by Austin Skitowski at Jul 4, 1991 at 4:01 PM EST
	at the monsters of rock concert Phil said "this next song, is about getting away from your own mind" right before the played psycho holiday.
