Notes

Studio recording for 'Far Beyond Driven' (1994). Dimebag's main studio rig for this era was the Washburn Dime 333 with Bill Lawrence L-500XL bridge pickup into a Randall RG100ES, with Furman PQ-3 parametric EQ and MXR 6-band EQ in front. Effects and settings are for the solo section of '5 Minutes Alone'.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced picking speed, expressive wah pedal use, and precise timing with the Whammy pedal, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
