HARDEST PANTERA RIFF? 'SLAUGHTERED' / PANTERA RIFF OF THE WEEK #3 lesson by Attila Voros

[@mercedesztoth8153]

Oh my god, I remember when I first tried to play this, it is indeed one of the hardest riffs I have ever played. But I had a great teacher ;)

[@AttilaVorosOfficial]

[@AlbertoMarat]

What I like most about that riff is that it sounds like a dark, hellish laugh. It's a brutal riff. For many, the heaviest riff in Eb Standard.

[@op-z]

I can't seem to get that squeaky chair part of the riff. Amazing!

[@AttilaVorosOfficial]

Yep, that is The hard one - not giving away all my secrets... :))

[@8KilgoreTrout4]

This guy is awesome!

[@halleyschimney9542]

Thank you so much for covering this riff, I’ve been trying to work this out for years but it’s one of those riffs I just couldn’t work out to save my life, the other being that lovely pinch harmonic pre chorus on hells wrath. I’ll die happy then haha. Cheers ❤️

[@AttilaVorosOfficial]

Thank You, I'm always happy to hear if I could help in any way! Regarding Hell's Wrath and pinch harmonics in general, I'm planning to do some sort of lesson on pinch harmonics and how to execute them, sp that might help. I want You to die old and happy, but I cannot promise that, but I never say never and that's a fun riff for sure, so there's that my Friend :) Cheerz

Dude……that’s guitar! It’s beautiful! Did you customize that yourself? Thank you for the breakdown!

[@AttilaVorosOfficial]

Hey Billy! Thanks man, I actually got this from Schecter whom I've been with as an endorsee for many years now. The paint job was done by Chewy, the man Himself, who used to do many of Dime's guitars! Here's an unboxing video of this guitar: Cheerz

[@AttilaVorosOfficial]

ooops, here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWGnkJ2ImsuJZ5o

[@paugrane1573]

Great video!!! Just one question. I've been trying to learn this riff but once I start playing it at fast tempos I have problems in my right hand with the string skipping. Do you have any tips for that?? Keep up the good content!! :)

[@AttilaVorosOfficial]

THank You! Well it's kinda hard to tell without seeing what and how You're doing. You can take online lessons if You would want to, just mail me at [e-mail]

[@Jermusicislife84]

Hey my dude, what is playing in the background at 0:49? That sounds sick!!!

[@philby8]

May I ask what amp / VST you are using ?

[@AttilaVorosOfficial]

I think at the time I was still using my Kemper Powerhead with RG80

[@Paincakes]

That was super helpful. Can you do Shattered?

[@AttilaVorosOfficial]

I'm happy to hear that! Well my first ever Dimebag / PanterA lesson this year was the solo of Shattered: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJbKl2ptp7ukoKs You can find the lesson part for the solo in the description box. The riff is super fun, so I 'll keep that in mind. Maybe for the 1 year anniversary I should do the riffs in February/March?!

[@Paincakes]

@@AttilaVorosOfficial Awesome, I'll check out the solo! Right now I'm playing the main riff in alternate picking, and the ending chords in upstrokes, curious to see if you play it differently haha. Cheers!

[@chrishasanis1999]

Hi Attila! 🤘🤘 I would like to see you play, the intro of the song Live in a hole. I have never seen anyone play this riff before.

[@AttilaVorosOfficial]

That is a great and fun idea with that wah part. Lovely suggestion, I took a note on this ;)

[@samwinn2774]

He uses a wah on the leads which some of the lead parts are dubs playing the root/bass notes of each power chord in the chromatic descending riff but just an octave higher, and the other lead parts, the actual solo/shred and crazy slayer esc whammy bar fit parts he uses a talkbox and a light phaser/univibe for some parts and JUST a wah on some and a wah and a talk box on some leads... it's hard to tell if it's a wah or a talk box on a few parts because he had the cry baby rack unit which allows you to shape and adjust frequency range of the Q of the wah filter sweep any way you want so if you tweak the settings on it you can really get some unusual vowel like boarder line talk box sounding tones but he definitely used that cry baby wah rack and a talk box at the same time on the leads on the into and on the rhythm guitar tracks on the key changing bridge riff.. on the Rhythm guitar dubs he uses the talk box too while playing the lower 5ths under the root notes of each power chord on the Low E string of the same fret and it sounds like he did another rhythm guitar dub with the talk box and a phaser or a univibe but an octave higher then the main rhythm track.. he definitely used the crybaby wah rack paired with a talk box and a phaser/univibe on the solos at the end of the bridge when it changes back to E you can hear all 3 effects stand out really well on that unison bend he starts out one of the solos with I'm pretty sure it's a univibe not a phaser but it could be both but I know for sure that it is a talkbox that he's uses for the majority of the effects for both the leads and rhythm tracks and dubs you can hear him say something into the talkbox right before the down beat of the main verse riff like "oh my god" and he does it again in the next pause before the 2nd verse riff and he does it on the bridge and at the very end of the song in between the punches at the very end and while the big dive bomb on the last hit he does it a few times like whispers into the talk box saying like "my fear grips me" and shit like that

[@Wilkesy259]

Hey @Attila Voros what is the brand/name of the guitar you are playing in this vid??? It looks sick and looks to be a "tribute" paint scheme to Dimes "dimebolt" D3 custom shop yeh? Any way sick vid/lesson and that axe is gorgeous

[@AttilaVorosOfficial]

Hey man! This is a customized Schecter E1 guitar which the paintjob was made by Chewy who used to work for Washburn and did many of Dime's personal guitars. And indeed it is meant to be a tribute to Dime's classic D3 Dimebolt guitars ;) Thanks for the kind words! Cheerz

[@joaconiz83]

Hi Attila, nice to meet you, I just suscribed to your channel, what is the tune? D standard, D# Standard?, greetings

[@AttilaVorosOfficial]

Nice to meet you, too! Tuning is 425 E. i did a full video in which I explain all PanterA tunings from CFH to RTS. You can find that in my channel;)

Hi Attila just discovered you content so awesome!! One question man, what do u think about the USA Apocalypse pickups on ur e-1? In other videos looks so mudy but on yours are killer it needs too mich process or not even? Thank you & keep killin it!

[@AttilaVorosOfficial]

Hey! Thank You and welcome! Regarding the Apocalypse it has a loots of low end and low/mid so You have to be careful with that otherwise it can get muddy for sure. But if You find a sweet spot for it it sounds super amazing! And because of the low ends it feels like it has more gain also. Very nice sounding pickups imo, but they need different setups. Thanks again, I'll keep doing em! \,,/

[@analozada9475]

I just started learning guitar few days ago, and this looks soooo intimidating. Pantera is my ultimate favorite band ever, so I want to learn how to play their songs. Although my strumming is pretty good for a beginner, but my problem is the left hand. Is extremely hard to put the fingers in the right place fast enough, and memorize where to put them at. It will taken me tons of practice to reach this level of mastery. 🥲 I wish it was all strumming, cuz that’s my forte. 😬🤘🔥

[@h_exterm2779]

Learned any pantera songs yet lol? Kinda curious how your techniques coming along

[@asdf2593]

ive been playing for years and this riff is still impossible lol

[@biff2k2]

This song is tuned down 1/4 step. I thought I was losing my mind when I would practice along with the track.

[@playswithpixels]

String skip tip: Don't be afraid to sweep across the (muted) A string. At least until you're able to play it cleanly.... Which I'm sure I'll be able to do any day now lol

[@analozada9475]

Question: I have an Epiphone pro electric guitar and a katana-50 boss amp. I plugged my guitar and try to get that metal sound and my guitar doesn’t sound like yours. I wonder if it’s the amp, the guitar, or maybe me being a rookie and not knowing how to make it sound nasty/metal. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide with. ☺️🤘

Always thought This Live bridge riff was pretty hard.

[@AttilaVorosOfficial]

I think that is also hard, especially to make it sound like on the record. There's something about that part I never fully understood. I got the notes down, but it sounds like Dime was putting His right arm in a weird position for palm mutings, and it sounds more open not fully palm muted... ;)
