Notes

Studio recording, 1996. Dimebag's signature Washburn guitar with Bill Lawrence L-500XL bridge pickup was used for most solos on 'The Great Southern Trendkill'. The Randall RG-100ES was his primary amp for this era. Effects and EQ were often added via rack units and pedals. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this solo.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced picking speed, expressive control of the wah pedal, and mastery of Dimebag's signature phrasing and harmonics, making it challenging for most guitarists.
