Learn to Play ‘I’m Broken’ by Pantera

If you’re looking to master Pantera’s iconic song ‘I’m Broken’, you’ve come to the right place! This post aims to help you with the guitar tabs, finger positions, and some tips to get you started on your journey to shredding like Dimebag Darrell.

Tab Overview

Here’s a short breakdown of the main parts you’ll need to focus on:

  1. Intro Riff: This is a super heavy and memorable riff. The intro sets the tone for the entire song. Make sure you practice it slowly at first to get the hang of the timing.

    • Tabs Example:
    e|--------------------|
    B|--------------------|
    G|--2---2--3---3----2--|
    D|--2---2--3---3----2--|
    A|--0---0--1---1----0--|
    E|--------------------|
    
  2. Verse Progression: The verses are all about maintaining that momentum. Get comfortable with the transitions between chords.

  3. Chorus Section: The chorus really lifts the energy. It’s essential to nail down the power chords to make this section pop out.

  4. Solo: Dimebag’s solos are a blend of emotional playing and technical prowess. There are a couple of licks that are particular highlights.

Tips for Playing

  • Start Slow: Begin practicing sections at a slower tempo. Once you feel comfortable, gradually increase your speed.
  • Use a Metronome: This will help you stay in time and develop your overall rhythm skills.
  • Finger Placement: Pay attention to your finger placement. Clean transitions between chords are key to sounding great.

Absolutely! Breaking it down into verses, choruses, and bridges would help so much! Who’s willing to give us a hand with that?

For the bridge, I noticed that it changes tempo a bit. Any tips on making that switch smoothly?

I think it might help to practice the bridge part separately before combining it with the other sections. It’s all about the dynamics!

You’re all on the right track! Who can detail the structure of the song? Having a clear map would be beneficial for everyone.

What if we do a video tutorial? It could really help visualize the transitions between sections.
