Man, really good playing. We can't let the music the Abbott brothers created be forgotten. Can't believe they're both gone. Thanks Seymour Duncan.

[@lepermessiah97]

man I love that he’s playing some rad deep cuts. he knows how to showcase a pickup

[@jasonsapp792]

Hearing Dimes riffs played so well is good for my soul right now...came looking for a Dimebcker review and just smiling remembering hearing Pantera for the first time live on 98ROCK out of Baltimore when I was 16yrs .... Cemetery Gates was playing and I was BlOwn AwAy!!! Thank you for bringing up that memory, Merry Christmas 🎄

[@ZakiRa1111]

6:31 floods solo is dope. and your accents on the 7:18 was amazing

[@PaulJones-bo8gt]

Yeah wes has got dime down to perfection. Zakk is badass but wes can do it right without other influence coming out. That floods solo sent chills down my entire body for five minutes.

[@fatsuperfly]

Pantera coming back for a tour! My money on Wes! Zakk, is cool famously just great and an idol of of mine, Wes can do it better!

[@saulalmighty7061]

Wes Hauch is so fucking good. So dope to see Alluvial getting more attention lately they deserve it

[@MisterJones956]

God dayum. The floods and cemetery solos were 🔥. Wes is a killer guitarist. Getting that Jupiter pickup real soon.

[@PunishedByRobots]

That playing is just killer

[@nathansmith6365]

I'm having that set installed in a Harley-Benton Explorer....so I've been listening to them...wow

[@ryand4533]

Always wanted a Washburn Dime guitar!! They look so much meaner and metal!!

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

Wes Hauch is such an underrated guitar player.

[@brandonfisher3758]

extremely

[@JohnnyLevitated]

Wes plays way to cleanly for his own good.

[@thygod]

John Mosher Yeah. This is really lacking Dime's raunchiness. He sticks too tightly to the beat instead of floating around it the way Dime did. Dime made the beat his bitch.

[@infinitepaths]

Jake McAlpine (Jeremy Clarkson voice) Some say all you have to do to sound like Jeremy Clarkson is pause... ...in the middle of your sentences.

[@tuck234]

Thy God Wes is a pretty clean player. Nothing wrong with playing in beat, just Wes's preferred style. Dime had his own and was always Dime's alone haha. \m/

[@thygod]

I didn't mean to sound like I was diminishing Wes's skills. He just wasn't succeeding at copping Dime's feel, if that was what he was trying for here. It was technically very clean and accurate. Just didn't have Dime's swagger.

[@tuck234]

Thy God Well, I think they were more focused on mimicking Dime's tone than his style of playing. And you're good, man. \m/

[@wheresallthezombies]

wes is the only guitarist now that actually makes me want to get back into the whole shred thing.

[@MrUglyStupid]

Weird to see no comments on how incredible his rendition of Cemetary Gates was

[@TheEpicLinkFreeman]

because it wasn't lmao he left out tons of notes

[@BlazemanGuitarX]

Floods was amazing tho, tone was straight outta DBZ.

[@MACARONIEMANIAC]

Rendition

[@idontreadreplies.252]

@Tyrant He missed a lot of notes

[@Blob-mr3tn]

How about that solo for no good attack the radical that shit was cleaan

[@user-vb2of3qi2v]

DIME WOULD HAVE LOVED THE FACT THAT YOU WORE A VAN HALEN SHIRT WHILE FLAWLESSLY LAYING DOWN HIS RIFFS. VINNIE WEARS A VAN HALEN NECKLACE IN REMEMBERENCE. CHEERS MAN!

[@tylerrue3108]

It's amazing to me that no matter well someone covers any of Dime's music, it still doesn't sound like Dime. That speaks loudest to me about his soul in his music. NO ONE sounds like Dime.

[@acornstairlift]

That dimeslime just might be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

[@armonsari2772]

I think the Dimebolt is better looking imo

[@higler.]

+Armon Sari Nah, Southern Cross!!!

[@deadasshit666]

Culprit and Dimeslime

[@Bultish]

+acornstairlift I agree! 2:36 , this particular one has the wooden back instead of the painted back which I think just pushes it right over in to dreamland. Do you know if this model has a special name that defines the clear wood style? (im in deep search =)

[@JzSage]

you should see the dean rebel in slime green

[@coolumar335]

Wes is such a MONSTER of a player...respect man...

[@charliefoxtrotthe3rd335]

They just got this set in my local shop. I stood over the counter debating. I finally could not stop myself. I do not have a guitar to put them in yet, but I got them. What a nice set. Now, the hunt for the right guitar is on. All I have now is a Strat. Can't put them in that, it would not be right!

[@tiktokliveencounters9297]

+Täking Thë High Roäd I just bought a dean razorback gloss black and put them in it. Amazing!

[@JzSage]

get one a dean ml 79' !!!!!

[@teriakamoto]

anything mahogany set neck or neck through and with some girth will do. So,what did you end up putting them end 3 years later lol ? How did you like them ?

[@rwj99]

just listening to dimes solos just blows me away of how great of guitar player he was. YES i still get chills hearing the floods & cemetery gates solos.

[@12ealDealOfficial]

Love Wes's playing. So clean, so precise- truly to be admired by any guitarist. I keep coming back to see him play those Pantera riffs.

[@CameronSummerson]

Wooooow. Man. Just wow. He channels Dime so well in this video, it seriously almost brought me to tears. You did the man justice, Wes. Great demo.

[@jus10_lee]

That pull at 7:35 is insane. Wes can definitely showcase Dimes tone and playing better than anyone else I've heard.

[@harir7676]

any idea how to achieve it ? a dimebucker and a preamp will do with a jackson js32 warrior ?? ...and what does he do with the pedal , whats the effect i mean ?

[@daviddelatorre1231]

dude that's the wah-wah. if your jackson has a good bridge you can do it. floating bridge like those floyd rose tr

[@harir7676]

@@josuastangl7140 now i have dean dime, the squeal comes effortlessly

[@andrewt248]

Dude had such a cool lead style. All his own, for sure. That "No Good..." solo is one of my favorites of all time! Almost a bluesy flair to it.

[@abicamoro4117]

Very bluesy indeed.

[@tuck234]

Dime himself said that a lot of his playing comes from playing Blues influences. The solos themselves are modified from heptatonic and hexatonic scales. Very interesting stuff.

[@gomezaddams9221]

20 min solos or give up playing!!!

[@notlimited214]

Thank you Keith Merrow and anyone else involved in this great presentation. This video is such a solid representation of Dimes choice of gear and a even more solid reminder of the vast wealth of the music he played. So inspirational and proof that as long as we keep sharing and showcasing the obvious love he had for his gear and what that gear really meant to his sound, Dime stays alive and we need this. I'll turn 43 this year and videos like this make me feel so good because I was the one of so many who absolutely loved the music of Pantera and Dimes playing meant the world to me then and still does today.

[@unforgivenx8]

these have to be the most beautiful sounds i have ever listened in KZbin

[@JacobMartin]

How am I only just seeing this now!? This is fuckin awesome, Wes is such a beast.

[@Reedisyograndpappy]

Dear God. Wes is the only player ive ever heard play Dime and have even half the feel and just plain aggressiveness as the man himself. Incredible playing and sick tones.

[@williamirvine1931]

Come and watch this video basically every month. Tones are perfect, guitars are pristine. This isn’t a pick up ad, it’s a tribute and a fantastic one

[@EricMorettin]

This is probably my favourite video on the internet now. Thanks Keith and Wes!

[@LorcanWard]

Wes Hauch for a reunion tour!!

[@givemeajackson]

Lorcan Ward you should do something with him, you're both ridiculously clean players!

[@aaronwalker1678]

I don't see that happening anytime soon, although that would be nice

[@givemeajackson]

Prenner111 you must be drunk... Wes toured with the faceless, playing pantera is a piece of cake compared to that.

[@givemeajackson]

Prenner111 never said anything about about better. but the material is way harder without any shadow of a doubt. if you doubt it you're not a guitarist and have no idea what you're talking about. i can play pretty much any pantera song easily, but i struggle with many songs of the faceless. wes here didin't break a sweat when he was with them, his technique is second to none. dime was great, no doubt about it, but his greatness lays with composition, groove and originality, not with technique. there's probably no guitarist that can create the same vibe as dime did, but there's tons of guitarists who can play stuff dime never could have pulled off. now that we got the facts out of the way, work on your attitude. also, yes, seven strings are very cool if used right.

[@dylankennelly421]

***** I'm the one that needs to chill out? you wrote a book, all I said was one thing. and this was 6 weeks ago... do you use Internet explorer?

[@AkiraSpectrum]

Love the playing and comprehensive demo of varying tones... probably one of the best videos you've done to date, Keith.

[@Its_LumberJack]

I've always loved Wes' playing, but he blew my mind with this. Awesome job man.

[@yogengrg7690]

Wes Hauch is probably the only person in this planet to replicate dime's playing the closest.

[@hugofolch876]

check out Attila Voros, This Guy is incredible

[@Rich-we3jj]

And Kenny Giron (kgmusicpage)

[@user-el2uv7hm6g]

Kenny Giron is the best

[@manndscho5347]

Lambchopper678 plays almost exactly like dime

[@rickfeith6372]

KG for the win...looks like him too!!

[@RNAMusic]

The Washburn Models were some of my favorite guitars Dime played. Particularly the Southern Cross model. Great video. Really enjoyed it.

[@svtcobra666]

RNA MUSIC Washburn Dime guitars were so much better than the Dean ones....

[@RNAMusic]

Cahyo Amiseso Dime started with Dean Guitars. At the time Pantera started hitting it big around Cowboys from Hell, Dean Guitars was essentially not doing much of anything. . Dime said he would have to hunt the pawn shops to find Dean MLs. You couldn't get them in stores, according to dime. Washburn stepped in and Built the Dime3 shape for Him and he was a Washburn Endorser for about 10 years. At the height of Pantera's success he was only playing the Washburn guitars. It was only shortly before his tragic passing that he had returned to Dean and signed an endorsement deal with them. I will disagree with INF1D3L010 that Deans are/were superior. I've played cheapo Dean Dimes that are crap, and Washburn also put out some crap ones. Dime didn't play any of the cheap ones. He had USA Deans first, in the early days, then USA Washburn Custom Shop DIME3 guitars. EVERY company will put out crap guitars at a certain price point.Once you get into the $600+ range and higher, they are all about the same really in terms of build quality generally speaking. Having played both Custom Shop Washburns and USA deans, the Custom Shop Washys are certainly nicer. Truth be told if you are playing a $700 Dean, or LTD, or Schecter, or Washburn or PRS SE or DBZ DIamond .........they are all built by the same people at the same factories. In fact the cheap ones from most companies are all built under the same factory roofs by the same workers.

[@Rickbag]

RNA MUSIC Dimebag made the deal with Washburn because Dean closed business at the time. When they reopened, he immediately start negotiating a deal with them.

[@OmniscientVirtuosity]

The washburns were always better, I don't care what happened to dean. They looked better, played better, and came in much more unique flavors. It didn't get any better than that for Dime. That's why they were their best in the mid 90s. Trendkill Kills and that's all Washburn

[@Deathlycream]

+OmniscientVirtuosity I had a wasburn Dime 2st, like, the low price dime the guitar was quite good but the bridge oh my ... a true shit. There was nothing to prevent the string from moving and the guitar was always out of tune whatever you would do it was totally useless

[@notlimited214]

And...Wes your chops kicks all asses far and near, thank you brother!

[@spider7venstring]

That Cemetery Gates' solo gave me eargasm; but the Flood's solo turned it into a teargasm. I miss Dime. Salute Wes! One of the cleanest playing guitarist around.

[@BobbyPVZ]

this video sound 10xmore Dime than the official Dime D100 review by Dean Gtr

[@mattmartinez7135]

That amp was shit. Ugly as fuck too!

[@yoshiki.g1450]

Pedro Reis Dime didn't even used that amp. Lmao he used Randall as we all know. Crank that up, scoop mids as per required and chunk that tone out. That's Dime's tone.

[@silverbane5008]

+Yoshiki G except, thats not how you actually get the dimetone at all. At least not all of it. You're not even close to dime until you get an EQ pedal in front of the amp, boosting mids. Also, get a noise gate, that shit is feedbacking like hell. For proper dime tone you also need a parametric eq before the graphic eq to tame some of the frequencies.

[@wagnernoise]

Wes Hauch is an amazing player for sure!

[@ATXmw1]

Incredible video. Wes murders every riff he plays. Such a phenomenal guitarist, and Keith, props on top notch aud/vid production. This video was fun to watch.

[@zacherndon9521]

This put a big ass smile on my face. Wes killed this and Keith you kicked ass engineering these tones.

[@Lisonoedi]

I like this sound, great performance 👍

[@mutachiro]

I'm fucking crying. How emotive is his playing. RIP Dime, thank you Wes Hauch for keeping alive his music.

[@gotnames1]

Bravo!! Well Done! Great video!! Keep up the great work , Keith and Wes!!

[@chazzrobbo]

Let's just all take a minute to all agree that if there was the possibility of a Pantera reunion Wes would be the perfect guy to play dimes parts. He's spot on in my opinion. As much as we all love Zakk! Zakk is Zakk where as Wes sounds a lot more like dime playing wise. There's my 2 pence.

[@sgtwylde1996]

While I agree Wes sounds more like Dime, I think having his best friend and someone that know's Dime on a personal level would be fantastic and would probably have more Dime soul in it

[@sgtwylde1996]

But on that note, as recognisable as Zakk's own playing style is, he made a very convincing Randy on the Blizzard of Ozz re-recording, so he definitely know's how to mimic people

[@teriakamoto]

Kenny Giron

[@ricardoperez2480]

De todas los guitarristas que he escuchado interpretar a Dimebag sin duda alguna Wes es el unico que mas se acerca a su estilo!

[@philipandersson1120]

This goes into my faves. Think I've gotten more insight on how to play many of my favorite songs in just 9 minutes than in all the other instructional videos of Pantera that I've watched.

[@christopherbailey488]

Holy shit. I felt like I was hearing Dimebag playing this himself! This guy is so fucking good!!

[@TomsGreenMind]

I like metal music, but I'm not much of a metal player. The usual sweep picking, crazy fast runs don't impress me or interest me. But if I could play Dimebag style solos the way Wes Hauch plays them, I'd be a very happy man indeed! Such expressive, groovy and awesome solos.

[@Admiral_Bongo]

There's much more to metal playing than fast licks. Stoner doom/sludge, for example, is a rather laid back genre. Maybe that would be fun to play for you.

[@kutsumiru]
