Alright, first off, I'm not even sure if this is the correct board to post this topic in, but if the mods feel this post is un-necessary to the forum they can just lock it up. (BTW: I made this post a long time ago at UG and no one was too interested, my username there is Abbott. )
I've always been a enormous dimebag fanatic, and if I had some way of recording this textual lesson, I would. The purpose of this post is to show you a lot of simple techniques done by the great Dimebag Darrell, his mixture of de-tuned guitars, fast riffs, amazing vibrato, and unique sound really define him as a amazing guitarist. I've been observing dime's old playing styles, one of the main thing I noticed that he really , really, really, based himself of the pentatonic scales like crazy, he could take a pentatonic box, do a really modern day bluesy lick, and just improvise off that till he got something he liked. Dime was a major fan of this sort of lick, I noticed that a lot of the time he'd work inside the pentatonic box and work his way up to a certain lick, then repeat the lick a few times with a few minor changes. I also picked off that he would like to bend up to the note he wanted to end on. Example: He wants to end on the 7th fret, 3rd string. He would usually end by bending on the 5th fret on the 3rd string, to make the lick/run sound longer and fuller. (I winged this just for a small demonstration): CODE E E Q S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S S E||---------------5---------5-----|----------------------------------| B||-----5--8br------5-8-5-----5---|----------5---5-----------5-------| G||--x--------------------8-----8-|--7-5-7-8---7---8-7-5-7-8---8-7-5-| D||-------------------------------|----------------------------------| A||-------------------------------|----------------------------------| E||-------------------------------|----------------------------------| S S S S S E Q ---------------------|----|| ---------------------|----|| --8-7-5---5----5b----|----|| --------7---7--x-----|----|| ---------------------|----|| ---------------------|----|| I attached a GP file for anyone that has GP, this ASCII text tab doesn't really do the lick justice. So as you can see by that demonstration, it's mainly pentatonic, a lot of repetition, but every now and then he'd throw in a few "odd" notes to give it a weird vibe, and make it sound like he wasn't just repeating the same pattern. I have a lot of other demonstrations of Dime's playing that I will continue to update about if this thread is successful, if not, I hope somebody learned something.
