Notes

Studio recording, 1996. Dimebag used the neck pickup for the clean solo section. The amp was a Randall RG100ES, with a likely MXR 6-Band EQ in front. Effects were added via pedals and possibly rack units. The clean solo is distinct from the distorted rhythm/lead tones.

Difficulty

The solo requires advanced control of clean tone dynamics, expressive vibrato, and subtle chord voicings, making it challenging for most players despite the moderate tempo.
