Hey y'all, this is Dimebag and welcome to my instructional home video. Get your board.
00:08
Woohoo!

[Music]
02:51
Let me tell you a little bit about that part there. You know, it goes to the major part up on the...
02:59
[Music]
03:02
Then every other is the minor...
03:04
[Music]
03:06
The old sour note up in there feels good.
03:08
[Music]
03:09
Then we get into the pink Floyd, what I call the pink Floyd area.
03:12
It's kind of went into it whenever we were doing it and writing it.
03:16
And half the trick to that thing is, you know, it's got like three, four...
03:21
[Music]
03:23
Echoes on it and it's just set so depending on how hard you hit the fucking string,
03:29
you either get two echoes or you get five, you know, or six.
03:33
So it's like, you know...
03:34
[Music]
03:46
Just grabbing it wherever.
03:48
[Music]
03:58
You know, it's kind of feeling it off through that thing.
04:01
There's a bunch of technique notes in there that we could talk about.
04:05
But right now, you're getting the backhander special because I got to get this motherfucker done
04:10
and get in fucking bed.
04:12
Got a steak dinner waiting on me at 10 o'clock in the morning.
04:15
Be up five hours from there after 48, right in the gym room.
04:20
And the next thing you know, it'll be a couple triples and I'll be on a plane
04:23
and the cholesterol is going up 15% through the roof.
04:29
Get you a pole.
04:30
[Music]
04:35
This is just one of them riffs I wrote, you know.
04:38
Moved it around until it felt right.
04:40
Ended up in the key of F or what looks like F.
04:43
[Music]
04:45
Played the lead in the key of E when I did it.
04:48
[Music]
04:51
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.
04:58
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.
05:07
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
[Music]
05:22
Check it out though.
05:23
The whole thing revolves around the--
05:24
[Music]
05:27
The big bend.
05:28
[Music]
05:57
[Music]
06:05
And that's a chunk, that's not still--
06:06
[Music]
06:09
A little amp ain't giving you the full balls, but it's like a--
06:11
[Music]
06:13
On the picking part, it's just fucking like loose sluggish, you know, kind of chugging kind of thing.
06:18
[Music]
06:32
Lead, remember, not in the beautiful area of E, but in F.
06:36
[Music]
06:59
[Music]
07:09
A little Edward up there.
07:10
[Music]
07:20
Whammy pedal, but on the album it's actually a--
07:22
[Music]
07:24
Splice.
07:26
[Music]
07:53
Hit the floor.
07:54
[Music]
07:58
I was letting Edward give him a round of applause, ladies.
08:00
Thank you.
08:01
The center stage.
08:02
Cheers.
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
[Music]
08:13
[Music]
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 Aston.
08:37
[Music]
08:39
And on to the next song.
08:41
[Music]
08:45
Wake Up.
08:47
[Music]
08:49
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, whatnot,
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
[Music]
09:56
[Music]
10:06
[Music]
10:16
[Music]
10:26
[Music]
10:36
Lead.
10:37
[Music]
10:50
Catching it.
10:51
Trying to bend it off at the right spot, you know, to play it right.
10:54
[Music]
11:06
Dude, we've been up for like 48 hours and that doesn't make any excuses.
11:14
But dude, you had to have it and it's 9 o'clock in the morning and you're getting it,
11:18
so just deal with it.
11:20
Rock on, brother.

12:19
Smoker.
12:21
Morning.
12:22
Nicholas, Diamond here, coming out of the fog.
12:25
I've 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 you had to have it, so you got what you get, man, and deal with it.
12:35
When I get there, anything that's missing that we've got to pick up on, we'll go over it.
12:38
