Dimebag Darrell Guitar Style in 5 Steps!

[@ericwilliams538]

That's probably one of the main things that so many don't understand about PanterA songs ( Dime, Rex, and even Vinnie's playing abilities) is just how accurate and precise they wanted their playing of the songs to be. To many, PanterA songs may seem, and sound simple to them, but when you go to play, it's a different story!!!! All of a sudden you realize all the little "accents" on some riffs and or notes. Thanks for sharing!!

Its interesting that no one ever mentions Blues Saraceno when it comes to Dime. Pretty sure he even has a "Plaid" album tattoo.

[@GuitarguyRichard56]

Interesting. What’s the connect?

[@CJenks333]

@@GuitarguyRichard56 go listen to his stuff. I think you'll hear it. The album was out in 91 or 92. Definitely an underrated influence on him. Like I said, he had a tattoo on him because of it.

[@SamBellGuitar]

Now you say it it seems very obvious! Saraceno is a boss! Thank you for the insight!

[@donkey1912]

Never heard of him. I'm going to listen right now.

[@ShredForth]

In those clinic videos he talks about blues saraceno and him doing solos together on an Ozzy tribute or something….. he said they are friends. He also mentions Ty Tabor. He called Cemetery Gates intro “kings x” chords. I heard a lot of suicidal tendencies later thrash type vibe in his playing after they toured together too. Especially on “Vulgar”. He definitely picked up on some cool aspects of his contemporaries and incorporated them into his playing while making them his in a cool way.

Thought this would be ass, but there are several fundamental take-aways from this that I will strive to incorporate. Thank you for taking the time to do this. One can never stop learning.

[@SamBellGuitar]

Glad you got some stuff from it, the journey never ends, otherwise what would be the point! haha

[@billyjohnson1778]

@@SamBellGuitar Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that as an insult. Far from it. Usually most people who offer "lessons" in a specific and iconic style in such a "matter-of-fact" format often miss the feel and point of the original player. I think you really nailed down a lot of good techniques that most people miss with this video. I'm now a subscriber, Sir.

[@jasoncrump1886]

Great teaching and tips brother. Appreciate you.

[@DecaturDevil]

This video is a hidden gem. I love the music theory behind the style. Great job. I know i appreciated this GREATLY! BRAVO!!

Great stuff

[@BrianBower]

Great video Sam!

[@SamBellGuitar]

Legend! Thanks Brian.

[@nuke97]

Hi Sam, great analysis and demo. Please forgive me but not sure where else to ask, been wondering if you could provide more demo's on chord progressions being turned into progressive rock riffs? particularly on the 8 string guitar? It was very motivating/inspiring creatively.

[@waynegram8907]

SAM BELL GUITAR< try to make a warren demartini style lesson because he uses wide stretch licks and dominant tonalities licks. Just watch a lot of RATT live concerts to find all the wide stretch licks he does.

[@Norman-Bates]

Dude I have that guitar, RG3550MZ-Galaxy White with the sharktooth inlay.

[@SamBellGuitar]

Nice! I love this guitar, how do you find it?

[@surefiremushroomsmicrogreens]

Question is was Dime playing on a crate solid state head 🤔

[@jurajzembjak9721]

Thanks Guthrie Govan

[@SamBellGuitar]

😄 that ones here kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpy1coKqhpJ4ars&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE

[@peterbrown2890]

I watched him dime bag on his dive bombs ..so he dives with whammy bar then pulls off with lift finger then find his harmonic. Leaving his right hand free to whammy . Cool technique..so don't pick your string ..pull it off when your diving

[@ezsmith420]

Eddie Van Halen style next?

[@SamBellGuitar]

Possibly! I did a few David Lee Roth/EVH album courses for LickLibrary (eat em and smile, VH2 and "5150" - that one isn't out yet, but its done) . I've got a few more of these videos in the can, but no VH yet... I'll see what I can do!

[@jhkuno88]

Nice socks there

[@nonserviam4813]

Step 1: Turn mids knob to zero Step 2: Break off mids knob Step 3: Play Lynrd Skyrnd licks at 1.5x speed Step 4: add pinch harmonics Congratulations, you have sounded like Dimebag

[@SamBellGuitar]

😄 that's the alternative lesson, I like it!

[@kinglord5163]

You have bad pickholding and picking technique regarding powerchord riffing

[@kinglord5163]

Also mediocre palm muting technique regarding riffing

[@SamBellGuitar]

@@kinglord5163 how do you do it?

[@fabio.cguzman7154]

Not even close. U don’t even playing the riffs like him

[@SamBellGuitar]

❤️

[@alfonspekala]

Too much picking, he was all about legato

[@ShredForth]

That’s not necessarily true. He plays his fast licks very similar to EVH with a combination of picking and fluidity….. like the first lick in CFH or the one before the end of Dominations solo.

[@SamBellGuitar]

He does a lot of combination picking.

[@JohnJones-ep7of]

Yeah the link Dimebag called the fake echo !
