Band: Pantera
Song: Good Friends And A Bottle Of Pills
Album: Far Beyond Driven
Bassist: Rex Brown

This is a great ass Pantera song. I figured the song to be of a 5-string bass…seeing as how Rex plays 5 string. If you only have a 4 string than tune it B-E-A-D. You won’t need the high G for this song. On your bass...turn your pan pot (pickup focus) a small turn towards the bridge pickup. Add a small amount of tone and you should be ready to go. Here goes:

B|---3333-3---3333---------
E|-------------------------
A|-------------------------
D|-------------------------
G|-------------------------

Repeat this all the way to the chorus (1:07). Pause, and than repeat (at 1:09) through the chorus. Stop again at 1:20. Resume this again at 1:25. Repeat the entire bass part until 1:50. Pause again. resume at 1:52. Stop at 2:16. Resume again at 2:18. Stop completely at 2:24. Let the drum start at 2:38, and than join in with the drums at 2:42 and than just fade out slowly about 5 or 6 more until the end.

It is really a simple song, and very fun to play.
