Opening Rhythm 1: Dimebags best acoustic ballad. Play several times.
Simple bar chord with a few inversions.

I'm not covering the first solo because it's on like two strings and it's
just single notes and bends and a few artificial harmonics in F#. You
can figure it out.

E :--2-------------------|--2--------------------||
Then back to Opening Rhythm 2 at the end of the solo
Main/Chorus Riff: Put your pickup selector on treble to make the artificial
harmonics squeal like Dime does. Use all downstrokes to make it sound
heavier. Don't slide between any of the notes, or the artificial harmonic
will die out. Hammer-on and pull-off to each note. The timing isn't right,
so you can figure it out.

Into the pre-verse: Cut off the last 2 notes of the main riff and play this.
Once again, all downstrokes. Palm mute the low E and F power chords the
third time through. End the sequence with Palm Muted low E and F power
chords then a regular F# power chord.

Solo: The rhythm is the opening acoustic ballad, then half way
through it switches to the pre-verse riff. The solo is in F#. It's a lot
harder than it sounds. It's harder than faster solos like "Domination" and
"Cowboys from Hell." Have your pinky stretched well cause you gotta
stretch quite a bit. I spaced it out quite a bit so it won't be too
complicated to look at. Good Luck.
B= Bend Full Step. If it's a different amount the number is next to it.
