Song: I’m Broken
Artist: Pantera
Album: Far Beyond Driven
My guitar teacher went through the solo for this song with me a while ago in E
tuning, Pantera being my favorite band. He also went through other parts of
the song with me that made me realize so many tabs for this song are very
wrong. So, I’ve touched up on his version, changing it to the tuning and so on.
Listen to the song for timings, note lengths, etc, and this is ‘probably’
the most correct version you’ll see:
(Tabbed by RJ Badham, myself, and written by god… Uh, Dimebag Darrell).
Tune all guitars down 1 ˝ steps: C#, F#, B, E, G#, C#
Tempo = about 150
