 "PLANET CARAVAN" (Black Sabbath) as covered by Pantera
 ================
 -- comp. Black Sabbath [Tony Iommi], 1970 (from _Paranoid_)
 -- covered on "Far Beyond Driven", 1994
   -- rhythm guitar & bass tab/"arr." by tcg, 198?, 1994
   -- 4/4 // key of Em // Slowly
   -- rhythm guitar: reverb preferred (phaser or similar "wave" device
        nice, too--or just face amp into blowing fan [kiddin'])
   -- guitar plays 2 measures (one time thru) before bass comes in . . . .
   -- Lead from Pantera version also
   --In Pantera's version, there is an acoustic layered with a clean electric
played with the bridge
            pickup on, and this guitar plays the solo as well
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
NOTICE: CAREFUL !!!!!!!! The lead is not correct as to timing and note
                         space, the only exception is the (sometimes)
                         long spaces between phrases. it should be easy to
count
                         along with (8 beats...)
