Notes

Studio recording for '10s' solo, released 1996 on 'The Great Southern Trendkill'. Dimebag used his Washburn Dime 333 Dimebolt with Bill Lawrence L-500XL bridge pickup into a Randall RG-100ES. Effects included MXR Flanger/Doubler and E-Bow for sustain. Furman PQ-3 parametric EQ and MXR 6-Band EQ were also part of the studio chain. No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this solo section.

Difficulty

The solo in '10s' requires advanced technique due to fast legato passages, precise E-Bow control for infinite sustain, and expressive phrasing with wide bends and vibrato. The integration of effects and tone shaping adds to the challenge.
