Notes

Studio recording, 1999-2000 era. Dimebag used the Washburn Dime 333 with the Bill Lawrence L-500XL in the bridge for rhythm tracks on 'Reinventing the Steel', including 'I'll Cast a Shadow'. Randall Century 200 was his main amp for this album. Effects and EQ pedals were used in front of the amp. Settings are for studio recording, not live.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced palm muting, tight synchronization, and aggressive picking to achieve the signature Pantera groove and percussive attack.
