00:00 Hey y'all, this is Dimebag and welcome to my instructional home video. Get your board.
00:08 Woohoo!
00:11 [Music]
00:25 [Music]
00:28 [Music]
00:31 Woohoo!
00:33 [Music]
00:42 [Music]
00:46 [Music]
01:15 [Music]
01:38 [Music]
02:07 [Music]
02:17 [Music]
02:20 [Music]
02:23 [Music]
02:26 [Music]
02:29 [Music]
02:32 [Music]
02:51 Let me tell you a little bit about that part there. You know, it goes to the major part up on the...
02:59 [Music]
03:02 Then every other is the minor...
03:04 [Music]
03:06 The old sour note up in there feels good.
03:08 [Music]
03:09 Then we get into the pink Floyd, what I call the pink Floyd area.
03:12 It's kind of went into it whenever we were doing it and writing it.
03:16 And half the trick to that thing is, you know, it's got like three, four...
03:21 [Music]
03:23 Echoes on it and it's just set so depending on how hard you hit the fucking string,
03:29 you either get two echoes or you get five, you know, or six.
03:33 So it's like, you know...
03:34 [Music]
03:46 Just grabbing it wherever.
03:48 [Music]
03:58 You know, it's kind of feeling it off through that thing.
04:01 There's a bunch of technique notes in there that we could talk about.
04:05 But right now, you're getting the backhander special because I got to get this motherfucker done
04:10 and get in fucking bed.
04:12 Got a steak dinner waiting on me at 10 o'clock in the morning.
04:15 Be up five hours from there after 48, right in the gym room.
04:20 And the next thing you know, it'll be a couple triples and I'll be on a plane
04:23 and the cholesterol is going up 15% through the roof.
04:29 Get you a pole.
04:30 [Music]
04:35 This is just one of them riffs I wrote, you know.
04:38 Moved it around until it felt right.
04:40 Ended up in the key of F or what looks like F.
04:43 [Music]
04:45 Played the lead in the key of E when I did it.
04:48 [Music]
04:51 And then after I figured it out when we started playing it live, I'm in the key of fucking F.
04:56 I'm in the key of F on a bunch of these songs.
04:58 Only because I thought the rhythm sounded fucking tough in there.
05:01 And so I want to move the fret markers up one, because I mean, I don't mind playing in E.
05:07 I love it.
05:08 I love F sharp, F, because everything looks, I mean, like one too many doubles.
05:16 That's the fun I have though.
05:18 [Music]
05:22 Check it out though.
05:23 The whole thing revolves around the--
05:24 [Music]
05:27 The big bend.
05:28 [Music]
05:57 [Music]
06:05 And that's a chunk, that's not still--
06:06 [Music]
06:09 A little amp ain't giving you the full balls, but it's like a--
06:11 [Music]
06:13 On the picking part, it's just fucking like loose sluggish, you know, kind of chugging kind of thing.
06:18 [Music]
06:32 Lead, remember, not in the beautiful area of E, but in F.
06:36 [Music]
06:59 [Music]
07:09 A little Edward up there.
07:10 [Music]
07:20 Whammy pedal, but on the album it's actually a--
07:22 [Music]
07:24 Splice.
07:26 [Music]
07:53 Hit the floor.
07:54 [Music]
07:58 I was letting Edward give him a round of applause, ladies.
08:00 Thank you.
08:01 The center stage.
08:02 Cheers.
08:03 See, I fucked it up so I had to blame it on somebody else, but I'll do a double.
08:07 Here we go. Thank you, baby.
08:09 There you go.
08:10 [Music]
08:13 [Music]
08:17 [Music]
08:27 And that's just, you know, the old King's X chug kind of thing, you know.
08:30 [Music]
08:36 From Aston.
08:37 [Music]
08:39 And on to the next song.
08:41 [Music]
08:45 Wake Up.
08:47 [Music]
08:49 Front I'm doing some just like--
08:50 [Music]
08:58 Just kidding.
08:59 Just diminished shit on the front, bending it out, barring it up, echoing it, whatnot,
09:04 all the bass things going on, then it kicks into--
09:06 [Music]
09:10 That whole thing as opposed to--
09:12 [Music]
09:16 It's just a loose chug again, loose fucking, kind of sludgy fucking grungy fucking chug.
09:23 [Music]
09:24 Across all four strings.
09:26 [Music]
09:31 Total diminished walk up, but a full slide on each one.
09:34 Starting on the G note or the third fret.
09:36 [Music]
09:56 [Music]
10:06 [Music]
10:16 [Music]
10:26 [Music]
10:36 Lead.
10:37 [Music]
10:50 Catching it.
10:51 Trying to bend it off at the right spot, you know, to play it right.
10:54 [Music]
11:06 Dude, we've been up for like 48 hours and that doesn't make any excuses.
11:14 But dude, you had to have it and it's 9 o'clock in the morning and you're getting it,
11:18 so just deal with it.
11:20 Rock on, brother.
11:21 I'll be there to light your cholesterol level another 14 notches up high.
11:25 Check it out.
11:26 Get your boom.
11:27 [Music]
11:31 Coming at you.
11:32 [Music]
11:49 [Music]
11:58 Check it.
12:04 He's getting hype.
12:05 [Music]
12:10 He's out.
12:11 [Music]
12:18 Woo!
12:19 Smoker.
12:21 Morning.
12:22 Nicholas, Diamond here, coming out of the fog.
12:25 I've got to let you know, that's one of the all-time worst instructional videos that you're ever going to get,
12:30 but you had to have it, so you got what you get, man, and deal with it.
12:35 When I get there, anything that's missing that we've got to pick up on, we'll go over it.
12:38 You know we'll have a good time and you know that cholesterol is going through the fucking roof.
12:42 My blood pressure is going to pop and we're going down.
