Notes

Studio recording for 'Pride' (2004). Dimebag Darrell used the Washburn Hellaflauge with the Bill Lawrence L-500XL pickup for the main riff, running into a Randall RG100ES solid-state head and Randall 4x12 cabinet. No evidence of additional pedals or effects for the riff section; signal is direct and dry. Settings estimated based on genre, amp, and era. No evidence of live/touring substitutions for this song's studio recording.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced palm muting and tight alternate picking at a medium-fast tempo, with precise rhythm and noise control due to the high-gain, percussive tone.
