That meant everything to me then but even more now. We talked about his rig and he wanted my brothers 69 Marshall cream color cabinet that he wouldn't let go. Dime said a have a blank check just name the price brother. He treated us with so much respect. We gave that in return. I went to his grave not long after he was murdered. It was just me him and the sun going down. I told him he didn't deserve to go out like that and I loved him. I drank a beer then poured him one out. I smoked a joint and left one on his grave.

17:40 - Breathing into mic for some reason 26:30 - Also breathing into mic for some reason 33:00 - Speaking from the heart The guy came to my hometown once, I didn't get to see him, but he was at a local guitar store and I would like to think he wasn't just doing these appearances for the money, because you can see clearly how enthusiastic he is here in this video just to talk to these hardcore fans. He practically begs them for questions. Then he literally gives a small masterclass in guitaring for dummies because he was a truly humble and passionate guitarist. This footage is priceless.

Always wondered how he could play so accurate with his guitar hanging that low.. He's really one of a kind, unique style and superb technique. :)

[@JULIOHpsp]

not that low, is all about getting used to, for me its easier to play like that, my arm feels more confortable

[@saedt]

It's the angle of his wrist and hand, when he tilts the neck, he can get his wrist to be almost straight and not too bent, that way he can exert a good amount of force while still looking badass. ^ ^

[@PowuhToSeven]

I think the body helps and maybe it's like a stretch you get used to. I play pretty low.

[@blitzedpig1651]

I've heard he spent 6 months straight in the shitter as a teen with his axe and when he came out he was god. Maybe his toilet has something to do with it.

[@PowuhToSeven]

BlitzedPig he mostly recorded in his bathroom because of the resonance in there lol he even did a lesson for guitar one or guitar world magazines

[@buddhistpriest1357]

I never was into Pantera. I’ve heard “Walk” maybe ten times but that’s about it. But from Darrel’s lessons he wrote for guitar world. (I think) His personality came through on paper, so I always read his articles because I liked his attitude. Though I never sat down with a guitar and took in his “guitar lesson” what I did learn from him is to check my attitude. “What you habitually think largely determines what you will ultimately become”….. So I “TRY” to lose the negative thoughts and only focus on the positive. Because it’s easy to become depressed from all the negativity we’re constantly being fed. So choose the positive. You have a choice. You are master of your attitude, so choose the positive and the constructive view. Optimism is the faith that leads to success and happiness. “Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own” ~ Bruce Lee

[@m.a.laracuente7424]

Always made it all look effortless 🤘🏽. Something that I always felt was under appreciated about him was his willingness to share his “secrets”. Dude always showed his tricks and was happy to break it down. He had no ego. One of the coolest individuals to grace a stage. Blessed to have met him a few times and seen him crush it with Pantera.

[@Patrick-857]

@2216sammy hard to really explain it. Nobody sounds like him. Before or since.

[@sigiligus]

⁠​⁠@@henrywall6802Steve Vai did all the innovation on the whammy. You can literally find footage of Dime saying he stole the idea from Vai. Scooped mids? Lol wrong again, every metal band was doing that, he just did the most extreme version of it and it sounds like shit. Whammy pedal dynamics? Again done by Vai and really mainstreamed by Tom Morello, not Dimebag. Suspended chord leads? Do you even listen to music? Do you even know what that means or did you just watch a KZbinr say that’s what he did (answer: Yes). Face it, he was a great player and songwriter, that’s all. He’s not Hendrix, EVH, Malmsteen, or Vai. The world would have lost some great records, but if Dime was never born the guitar would look basically identical as it does today. Butterfly effect notwithstanding, of course.

[@marney5550]

It’s so crazy to see this because his guitar is literally an extension of him as a person. And those are the people who will always be remembered generations from now

You're literally watching a video on the internet of this.. recorded just like someone would do today but it's with a camcorder and not a phone, and you're freely able to enjoy it due to KZbin and the internet. People definitely asked for pictures after with Dime, and people took bootleg pictures, recordings and videos back in the day during shows also.. The only difference is everyone couldn't afford a nice camera and camcorder. Like imagine if someone had turned to this dude video taping this and said " Bro just live in the moment, why do you have to video tape? " Same thing.

The fluidity, precision, and cleanliness in that lead playing just brings tears to my eyes and makes my nose feel like it's on fire for some reason. Dimebag was totally unmatched as a guitar player. Man had the lead skill that was from another dimension and rhythm skill on par with the likes of Hetfield.

[@sigiligus]

Hetfield is a good rhythm player, and absolutely pioneered metal rhythm, but I think Dimebag was way better. However, while his leads are well written and sound cool, he's far from Shawn Lane or Rusty Cooley.
