Notes

Studio recording, 2000 (Reinventing the Steel era). Dimebag is seen with his Randall Warhead amp in the 'Revolution Is My Name' video, and this matches the era of the recording. The Dean ML with Bill Lawrence L-500XL is visually confirmed for this period. No evidence of alternate guitars or amps for this riff section in the studio.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced palm muting, precise pinch harmonics, and tight, syncopated rhythm playing at a medium-fast tempo, making it challenging for most intermediate players.
