[@WayneKitching]

The high squeaks (usually called squeals) are harmonics. Part of Dimebag Darrell`s (R.I.P) signature style was dipping the whammy bar (called a tremolo arm, even though it's actually for vibrato), hitting the harmonic and then pulling up the bar, making the harmonic scream.

[@SpaceCattttt]

He probably got that from Van Halen.

[@diverdown631]

It's actually called pinch harmonics

[@riphopfer5816]

@@johncarpenter3751The dive squeals I hear in this song are nearly all initially triggered by pinch harmonies which then feed back from the amp into the pickups, thus creating infinite sustain for those dive squeals.

This is a cut version, the first 1 and half minutes was removed. The original had a wonderful gentle acoustic guitar, eerie guitar solo, and softly sung lyrics. Up until hearing this cut version, I was unaware of how much that intro really set the mood for the rest of the song. You should definitely check out the uncut version, it's 7 minutes long.

[@marco19878]

My opinion is what's happening at the end is not a competition but a comparison. Through voice, the singer expresses his pain. The height of the pitch keeps rising as does the intensity of the feelings expressed, until the sorrow can no longer be communicated (voice stops) because it's beyond human limits (it's a metaphor, the singer has reached his limit) - however, the guitar still hits an even higher note, showing that while such an extreme feeling cannot be expressed, it can still be felt.

[@tonyb7615]

Or an echo. Screaming into the void. But instead of it coming back softer, it reverberates and comes back stronger, as if to validate and confirm. As if Phil's mom is reaching back from beyond the grave to comfort her son.

[@samck3577]

I genuinely wish I could come up with these complex thoughts when listening to such great music.

[@anthonyv6962]

That high pitched squeal is a pinch harmonic. The note is picked and then the thumb on the picking hand is allowed to touch the string at a node so a harmonic rings out. At the same time the note is being bent with the fretting hand or the tremolo bar is being depressed to slacken the string.

[@swissarmyknight4306]

I spent a lot time (back before youtube instructionals) trying to figure out how to do pinch harmonics. Finally found out you have to use a plastic pick, and here I was using nylon all this time.

[@TheDeadStretch]

I have this old Guitar World dvd where it has Dimebag telling you how to get his "squeals" but it's 100% in Drunken Dime lingo that I still don't know what he is saying. "You grab that sucker here right on the 9th pinch, then you tickle with the pinky... and yeah. lmao

[@TOOLbassplayer]

Thanks for listening to Pantera. I suggest you look more into their catalog and more into Dimebag Darrell the guitarist. He was a legend and tragically was murdered in 2004. What made his sound so unique was he was using solid state guitar amps (when 90%+ in rock use tube amps). This gave his sound a very digital like sound. He also mastered many advanced techniques such as pinch harmonics (artificial harmonics), sweeping, tapping, and then his infamous whammy bar squeal sound which game from a natural harmonic timed perfectly on a vibrating string after he lowered the pitch from the whammy bar (he called it dumping the bar) and it comes back to regular pitch. He was one of a kind 😢

[@modernretrorenaissance2520]

I love how she hears Dimebag’s guitar work, going in with no preconceived notions or expectations of what she is going to hear, and tries to explain what it is that makes it different. She tries to put it into words and does the best she can. She learned what we all have learned; when you hear Dimebag play guitar you know it is Dimebag. There are a handful of guitarists like this, the ones that go above great and become iconic. When you hear Hendrix, Van Halen, Clapton, or Gilmour (to name some of the best known) you know it’s them. Dimebag is, and deserves to be, in this crowd.

[@lauscho]

Ah, Dimebag's guitar tone... that quality you describe is because when it comes to guitar gear, Dimebag was a little different from his peers. At the time (and even today), most guitarists were running through amplifiers that use vacuum tubes as transistors, while Dime's were solid-state MOSFET transistors, which have a different tonal quality to them, and he'd set his amp EQ a little differently, with more emphasis on the bass and treble, less on the mids. Some guitarists think his tone wasn't very good, but at the same time, it's a signature sound that's easily identifiable as his. Add the "squeaky" artificial harmonics, and it's a really unique guitar sound. And yeah, just gonna echo, you missed out on a hell of a setup with the intro by using the edited music video version. Picture the verse guitar figure with softer vocals and Queen-like guitar harmonies.

[@PeterAnthonyG]

“Artificial harmonics?” …that’s a pinch harmonic, nothing artificial about it

[@heffatheanimal2200]

Even after listening to Pantera for 25ish years, theres something about Dimebag's style that never click in my head until a few months ago. Watching The Fairy Voice Mother's reaction she concluded that his playing style is that of a singer more than most guitarists. Ever since hearing that, I've been hearing some of those one-in-a-million guitarists very differently

[@VV-or8es]

Interesting analysis thanks

[@mescaliiiiine]

I love it when she describes chorus-heavy arpeggiated clean guitars (trademark of 80s) sound like renaissance folk music haha

[@onbedoeldekut1515]

What you're talking about regarding Dimebag's tone/timbre is his very singular tone shape, which he got from (mostly) using solid state amp heads and various equalisers, tone conditioners to acquire the almost thin and nasal rasp behind both his rhythm and lead channels. There's a few good 'rig rundowns' on KZbin that go into how he got his specific tone, through his effects and amp chain. But a lot of it was in his fingertips. The 'squeaky parts' are pinched harmonics, where the flesh of the thumb strikes the string immediately after being struck by the plectrum. When the string is struck so lightly 'in the same stroke', you're essentially plucking the string and then the harmonic node together. The wails he gets later at the end of the solo/call and response section, he briefly taps a harmonic node whilst pulling back on the tremolo arm and stepping on his wah wah pedal, allowing the highest frequencies to punch through.

[@LeeKennison]

A really good classic metal selection. I'm glad you found things to like and appreciate in this one. This is an example of a metal song that I think you have a chance at liking. The songs that the non-hardcore metal or some classic rock fans have heard and liked. Songs that are clearly metal, but have musical qualities that might attract non-metal fans. I typically use Metallica's "Enter Sandman" as an example of this type of metal song. The Iron Maiden "Hallowed Be Thy Name" that you did is another example. You learned about the "screechy hinge" guitar technique early in the channel, when Karl's guitar colleague Graehme demonstrated the "pinch harmonic" on his guitar. Great reaction. I really enjoyed it.

[@MR-tf6gl]

What a great explanation about the guitar solo part!

[@MHomer-mr6ch]

Dimebag was the master of pinch harmonics and artificial harmonics. Adding to the quality of his tone. Add his use of the Hendrix wah-wah pedal and he creates the "bad pony squeal" using the whammy bar. Finally, using his Floyd Rose tremolo, ends the song with major dive bombs on the strings. Bottoming out the stings with total slack. Beautiful!

[@ifkekanrunning4768]

My favorite Pantera piece. Band I worked for opened for them in the King Dome in like '91 or '92. So long ago I can't be too specific. Phil had such spectacular range before he sorta went off the rails. The whole band has a sorta cursed by an old gypsy woman or something. Reb is still kicking around, I guess.

[@jeremylozier7339]

"I kinda like this riff ..." ❤ You and me both sister.

[@MarkFromHawaii]

Rest in peace Dime and Vinny. Texas thrash at it's best. The song has that main riff with the pinch harmonics where Dime is pinching on the B. His distorted rhythm parts make use of palm muting to get that low end chug. He scooped some of the mids - but not ridiculously so - such that you get that slightly V EQ curve. The form is classic verse, pre-chorus, chorus. Dime was a master at throwing in those natural harmonics too (3rd, 4th, and 5th frets) while pulling up on the trem arm and then sinking it down during the outro.

[@ronparsons8786]

The longer version with the softer guitar intro and vocals is far superior

[@LevShome]

Should have gone with that one.

[@peterhughes8699]

Of all the awe inspiring beauty in this world all Pantera can talk about is cemetaries.

[@dylanwright9927]

It’s a song about remembering the pain of love lost in youth. The big refrain, “I will unlock my door and pass the cemetery gates” line refers to the superstition of locking your car doors driving past a cemetery, or else a spirit might enter and follow you home. He is saying he will unlock his door intentionally as he drives by the cemetery remembering, in the hope that the spirit of the beloved would accompany him…

[@LouisGiliberto]

The high pitches that "squeak" are "pinch harmonics". Actually, you could probably do it on the harp. On the guitar you hit the string with a pick and as it comes off the pick you immediately gently touch it with like the side of your thumb. Normally harmonics are played on a guitar by touching the string right above a fret, but since this is done below the fretboard at a different node close to the bridge, it causes a high harmonic; an up bend and/or vibrato are usually applied making it squeal even more. If you pluck a harp string in reverse (i.e., hitting it with the outside of the nail) and let the tip of your finger (the flesh part) graze it as it comes off the nail, it might work. Guitars are amplified of course, but I see no reason it can't be done on a harp string. If you try and it works, post a video! 🙂

[@krl97a]

Yeah I love the way this song plays with tempo.

[@Efferri]

The guitars in Pantera are so unique. The heavy, sludgy palm muting drives the groove and DImebag's solo guitar, overdrive/high gain causes almost constant harmonics (either pinch for natural). Love these guys

[@javrak]

I learned pinch harmonics learning this song. A fender Squire that looked like a rebranded jackson with a floyd rose, tuning locks, and an emg select humbucker plus two single coils.

[@dj_daem0n]

A lot of people are talking about how this didn't include the intro and that it's a "cut version" of the song. Technically, if you listen to the wind effects added to the intro and outro, this is the MUSIC VIDEO cut of CEMETERY GATES. The original version minus intro is 5 minutes long, and the intro adds an additional 1 minute and 32 seconds of guitar, bass, and vocals. Even if you don't do an additional video covering the actual song as intended, definitely listen to it anyway. It's worth it.

[@TheTennMan]

The “squeakiness” you are referring to is via a technique called Pinch Harmonics. It’s when the guitar player “pinches” the string between the pick and his finger holding the pick to strike the note. That in turn gives a harmonic quality to the note

[@MartinW1111]

[@warnerww83]

Hehe I loved this. The sound you’re describing is someone scooping the mids then blasting the guitar through 600watts of amp, proving that what’s wrong is right when you play it loud enough.

[@Pootie_Tang]

About "squeaky guitar sound", Dimebag was one of the first major implementers of digital/transistor distortion (via pedals, amplifiers and computer generated effects) rather than tube based distortion sound. I'm not the expert, but if simplified, I guess I told the truth. And also as a casual guitar player myself =) As far as I remember, considering info that I read about 15-20 years ago, the difference between "more common" and "Pantera" sounds was in that "common" distortion sound has stress onto even harmonics, while "pantera" sound has stress onto uneven ones. Or vice versa =) I can't remember correctly. But! I am a proud owner of Boss Metal Zone MT-2, and this pedal can set you up to play Pantera-alike music whatever the amplifier or any other part of the sonic chain Thank you for your video, as always! I watch you from the one of the first of your videos, and I remember commenting right from the start, that you're gonna be huge. And you're sure are now.

This is my favorite metal guitar riff of all time. The harmonics squealing are harsh and unsettling, but still brutally beautiful when you realize they are like mournful wailing throughout the song. The song is about friends of the band. A woman who committed suicide and the boyfriend she left behind following suit because he couldn't live without her. The conclusion is pained screaming. I'd be interested to hear what you think of Gary Allan - "The Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning.)

Apparently he is still putting smiles on everyone. RIP Dime & Vinnie

My favorite Pantera songs are "5 Minutes Alone" "This Love" and "I'm Broken" I think you would really enjoy Judas Priest. Rob Halford is an AMAZING vocalist for a metal band. "Victim of Changes" "The Hellion/Electric Eye" and "Painkiller" would get you going! Thank you.

the reason for the guitar sound is because they used scooped mids...they turn up the treble and bass then reduce the mids which is where most of the sound is on a guitar so it sounds thinner.

[@justinpalmer6098]

"An axle that has sand in the bearing"

[@ScottGarrettDrums]

That's called an artificial or pinch harmonic. You make it by hitting the string with your thumb at the same time as the pick. A natural harmonic is made by lightly touching the strings, over a fret, with the fretting hand.

[@campar1043]

that sound you're describing is the scooped mids of the 90s lol

May I recommend to you Seven Spires - Architect of creation from their fourth album that was released two weeks ago. It is symphonic metal with an incredible vocal performance by the singer, she has a truly massive range from gutturals to cleans & much more. The bass performance is also outstanding in this particular song as well. I think you will enjoy the orchestral addition to this style of metal a great deal.

[@satanihelvetet]

Sadly you choose the short version cutted to fit radio. The original (long version) is just above 7 minutes and starts with multiple guitars (including at least one aucustic) and piano. The intro before your version starts is no less than 1.32 long and include the first singing line and a short guitar solo. But I 'm very happy you're reacting to this and you're doing great.

[@helheimforge]

You felt it too huh? 😅 Yea, Dimebag was incredible with a guitar. So glad he was able to make music and have a legacy. ❤

[@burny6666]

The ''squeak'' you are referring to is a technique called ''pinch harmonic''. Basically, the guitarist uses its thumb to slightly touch the string after plucking it, resulting in the string....euh.... squeaking..

[@GiGGDDaDDy]

Those "squeaky sounds" are called pinched harmonics (artificial harmonics), created by touching the side of thumb or finger that holds the pick when the string is attacked as opposed to natural harmonics which are found by slightly touching the string above the fret and attacked with pick causing a ringing sound from the string. Both can be found up and down the guitar neck and strings.

[@MudSluggerBP]

[@carifrancisco3542]

First time watching your channel. Great guitar analysis, but I was a little disappointed that Phil's vocal was described as "expected" and "perfectly competent" when he is in fact one of the greatest metal vocalists of all time! And no comment at all on the raw emotion in his vocal performance? The man is a Metal God!

[@DiceKrispy]

The live album has my favorite version. His voice is deeper from touring

[@bryandaniel2856]

I enjoyed your take on this song.

[@johngrigsby8408]

If you consider the "tone is in the fingers" angle, that sound you're trying to describe about the guitar tone has everything to do with the fact that Darryl Abbott's natural use of pinch harmonics were quick, sure handed, and something he was very well renown for. I'm sorry about the run-on sentence, but I had one of those "I KNOW THE ANSWER!!!"-type moments. I'm from Dallas (of all places), and I'm still not much of a Pantera fan, but credit is definitely due.

Pantera helped save metal music from the grunge scene that was taikng over at that time.They are one the best bands of all time. And this album is one of their best.They made so many more over the years I like "Vulgar" and "Great Southern Trendkill" and "Far Beyoned Driven". If you ever want to hear so more great Pantera songs you can find them on any of those albums.

[@davidetchellsetchells4692]

Not to affront Pantera because they are all virtuosos, natural raw talent. As a classical musician myself I am always impressed and inspired by their music, especially the use of dynamics, atmosphere, and harmonics. Absolute genius! I implore you to check out Yngwie J Malmsteen, any song of his will do, but the trilogy album stands out to me as one of his best. " I am a viking" is fantastic neo- classical. " crying" is another, take a listen through all his works then choose which you would like to post a reaction to, I'm looking forward to it👍💯💯👏👏👏
