PANTERA "I'll Cast a Shadow" from the album Reinventing the Steel Tabbed by: -MetalMassacre- E-mail: metalmassacre@hotmail.com This is not from any tab book. I don't have the tab book for this album, nor do I think that one exists right now. I heard it all with my own two ears and played along with it with my own guitar. This TAB is my representation of the song. Some things may be wrong, probably because I was too lazy to really figure out some parts. You can do that on your own. TUNING: I used my keyboard to figure it out: Tune your A string to: 447.3Hz, instead of 440Hz. Then tune all other strings according to your A string. Finally, tune all strings down a whole step, and then DROP D!!! I'm not kidding, this is correct: I heard it myself. [6]-B [3]-E [5]-F# [2]-G# all @ 447.3Hz [4]-B [1]-C# Legend: x = Mute string . = Partial Mute/Palm mute, whatever ~ = vibrate _____________ _______________________ Intro riff: 3x |1. |2. ||-------------------------||--------------||-------------------------|| ||-------------------------||-------(4)----||-------------------------|| ||o--------10----7-----7--o||-------(3)---o||------------------------o|| ||o--------10----7-----x--o||-1-----(1)---o||------------------------o|| ||---------8-----5-----5---||-1------------||----1---1-----3-53-------|| ||-0-0-0-0---0-0---0-0-----||-1------------||-/3---3---3/5-----31-----|| . . . . . . . . after 2nd ending, keep shortening that riff until you get here: v-if you know what the "pp" and "ff" stand for, then DO IT!!!!! ||----------------|---------|---------------|---------------|| ||--pp------------|---------|-pp------------|-ff------------|| ||----------------|---------|---------------|---------------|| ||--3--0-3--0-3-0-|-7-6~~~--|-3--0-3--0-3-0-|-7-6--7-6--76--|| ||--3--0-3--0-3-0-|-7-6~~~--|-3--0-3--0-3-0-|-7-6--7-6--76--|| ||--3--0-3--0-3-0-|-7-6~~~--|-3--0-3--0-3-0-|-7-6--7-6--76--|| ^ ^ ^ ^ Pick strings EXTREMELY Lightly.

"When I die, I cast a shadow!" All the riffs for the intro, verses and chorus are up there, just find them and arrange them to how the song sounds.
