Notes

Studio recording, 1996. Dimebag re-recorded the outro in New York using a borrowed Les Paul and a Korg G3 multi-effects unit, not his usual Dean/Randall setup. No evidence of his typical high-gain rig for this clean section.

Difficulty

The outro requires clean, accurate playing with wide chord stretches and careful control of dynamics and timing to achieve the haunting, ambient effect.
