"If it's good enough for Dimebag, it's definitely good enough for me." Truer words will never be spoken.

[@MarkArandjus]

One of the best vids on this topic. All it would need is a chart of the fretboard to illustrate what you're saying and it'd be perfect.

I can´t wait for part 2 and 3 on this series ! ♥

[@stevenmgyori3826]

" Thanks for reminding me of Wishbone Ash, it's been awhile! Great to Share your love of Dual harmonies! Well done, Be Well Nick and Sweetwater!

[@sweetwater]

😁👍

[@Just_a_metal_head_]

Great video. I've already watched about 3 videos about harmonies and haven't even understood a part of what I learned in this video. Especially the Dimebag technic helped me out a lot

[@clemguitar63]

Thanks Nick, I find your lesson videos really helpful Brother.....Keep On Rockin!

[@sweetwater]

🤘

[@JakeSavich]

The universe has your back my friend🌟

[@derickdoveglass]

I see Nick and I click

[@guitarvs.physics5473]

Thanks Nick, looking forward to part 2.

[@Gorbyrev]

Fab. Certainly Steve Harris said his influence for this stuff came from Wishbone Ash. Another great twin guitar band is Stryper. That early stuff has some great diatonic runs in it.

[@grzegorz3648]

Well done Sir 👍

[@musicmore8315]

Mr Nick, I checked out your band grim reaper and found a video of you guys in 87 playing in Minnesota. Your playing was really good and the overall sound was great for a live performance. How did you get that tone live and what type of gear were you using? Maybe you could make a video and re create that with modern gear. I don’t really like metal in fact once GnR hit the scene I never listened to metal again. However, that tone you had captivated my attention.

[@DrJonathanGemmill]

Excellent - very helpful thanks ☺!

[@dunknwn3185]

Excellent work as always pure 💟

[@superblondeDotOrg]

this video is one of the reasons i buy my gear from sweetwater 🔥🤘😎🤘🔥

[@2kosher]

Ah hem...Boston does guitar harmonies brilliantly too!

[@141152malcolmvice]

Hi...Brilliant work! Just curious but would you have any idea Which Thin Lizzy riffs follow this rule as I analysed "The boys are back in town" and there are not many 3rd intervals in it. It looks like it is mainly a fifth below.

[@mhayes848]

Thank you😀

[@lukekern7444]

the begining kinda sounded like Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?

[@Mallsio]

I can do it and I have trouble walking and chewing gum 😂😅

[@csul5961]

is it the same formula for a major scale?

[@AlbertoMartinezDelRio]

Great one

[@csul5961]

what if you dont know what key your in or what scale to use?

[@LightWingStudios]

It ALL started with Tom Scholz and Barry Goudreau from "Boston" in the early 70s. :)

[@rborawski]

What about Robert & Oz in Stryper, Nick?

[@alenvandevort1255]

A video on the 4ths he describes as Slayer’s spooky sinister sound please! Or if there’s a video on it can someone point me in the right direction

[@Xx_Swagnemite_xX]

So it's pretty much just c major over a minor?

[@jonlate4581]

A minor is the relative minor of C major. It works that way with all scales.

[@teamatfort444]

Could you theoretically just harmonise any riff?

[@Just_a_metal_head_]

Yes. It just probably wouldn't sound that good anymore 😂

[@elburden]

Leave it to Dime to distill it down to the most useful info 🤘

[@TexasEdition]

Dumb question maybe, but.would this work if you just jumped up 3 frets and did the same finger patterns? Asking for a friend.

[@nickbowcott8822]

For some note "yes" and others "no." Watch the section between 6:00 and 6:42 where I discuss the "Dime way" and all will be revealed!!

[@headstockharem4]

Cool lesson Nick! Maiden was the first metal band I saw live back in '84, Twisted Sister opened, 35 years ago....yikes!

[@UrquidiGuitars]

People need to learn Diatonic harmony. There's no easy way out.

[@rickeguitar9086]

Forgot Allman Brothers were known for their harmonic leads.

[@robertjablonski9830]

Love your videos. You may have trouble walking and chewing gum. But add being Polish LOL

[@141152malcolmvice]

Where have all the comments gone?

[@stephanpetersen8386]

Chinese to me 😄☺️

[@jaktheknife]
