Hey y'all, this is Dimebag and welcome to my instructional home video.
00:07
Get your book.

This is just one of them riffs I wrote, you know, moved it around until it felt right, ended up in the key of F, or what looks like F.
04:43
Played the lead in the key of E when I did it.
04:48
And then after I figured it out when we started playing it live, I'm in the key of fucking F.
04:56
I'm in the key of F on a bunch of these songs, only because I thought the rhythm sounded fucking tough in there.
05:01
And so I want to move the fret markers up one, because I mean, I don't mind playing in E, I love it.
05:08
I love F sharp. F, because everything looks, I mean, like one too many doubles.
05:16
That's the fun I have though.
05:18
Check it out though. The whole thing revolves around the...
05:25
The big bend.
05:28

06:05
And that's a chunk, that's not a stomp.
06:07
[Music]
06:09
A little amp ain't giving you the full balls, but it's like a...
06:11
[Music]
06:13
A little pick and park, just fucking like loose sluggish, you know, kind of chugging kind of thing.
06:18
[Music]
06:27
Lead, remember, not in the beautiful area of E, but in F.
06:36
[Music]
06:59
[Music]
07:09
A little Edward a bit.
07:10
[Music]
07:19
Whammy pedal, but on the album it's actually a...
07:22
[Music]
07:23
Splice.
07:24
[Music]
07:53
What the fuck?
07:54
That was Lead Everett, give him a round of applause ladies.
08:00
Thank you.
08:01
The center stage.
08:02
Up yours.
08:03
See I fucked it up so I had to blame it on somebody else, but I'll do a double.
08:07
Here we go. Thank you baby.
08:09
There you go.
08:10
[Clap]
08:17
[Music]
08:27
And that's just, you know, the old King's X Chug kind of thing, you know.
08:30
[Music]
08:36
From last week.
08:37
[Music]
08:39
And on to the next song.
08:45
Wake Up.
08:47
Front I'm doing some just like...
08:50
[Music]
08:58
Just kidding.
08:59
Just diminished shit on the front, bending it out, barring it up, echoing it, what not.
09:04
All the bass things going on, then it kicks into...
09:06
[Music]
09:10
That whole thing as opposed to...
09:12
[Music]
09:16
It's just a loose chug again, loose fucking, kind of sludgy fucking grungy fucking chug.
09:23
[Music]
09:24
Across all four strings.
09:26
[Music]
09:31
Total diminished walk up, but a full slide on each one.
09:34
Starting on the G note or the third fret.
09:36

Lead, let's check it out.
10:37
[Music]
10:49
Catching it.
10:50
Got to cut the bends off at the right spot, you know, to play it right.
10:53
[Music]
11:05
Dude, we've been up for like 48 hours and that doesn't make any excuses.
11:13
But dude, you had to have it and it's 9 o'clock in the morning and you're getting it, so just deal with it.
11:20
Rock on brother, I'll be there to light your cholesterol level another 14 notches up high.
11:25
Check it out, get your boom.
11:27
[Music]
11:31
Coming at you.

I'll tell you, he's a good pipe.
12:04
[Music]
12:10
He's out.
12:11
[Music]
12:17
Back to the full range.
12:18
Woo! Smoker.
12:21
Morning.
12:22
Nicholas, Diamond here, coming out of the fog.
12:25
Got to let you know, that's one of the all time worst instructional videos that you're ever going to get.
12:30
But, had to have it, so you got what you get man.
12:34
And deal with it when I get there.
12:35
Anything that's missing that we got to pick up on, we'll go over it.
12:38
You know we'll have a good time and you know that cholesterol is going through the fucking roof.
12:42
My blood pressure is going to pop and we're going down.
