This is actually really great, for those like me who are starting to learn pantera songs without being too good at it... it saves a lot of trouble learning it wrong and then having to relearn, that's dope, keep it up !
I think Dime tabs these riffs out in his book "Riffer Madness", although it's been a while since I looked through it. It's a shame he didn't get the chance to write down more of his playing, he really did phrase things uniquely. I still can't play "I'm broken" like he did.
Broken is another great example... unfortunately I still am not sure how Dime did that main riff... something's alway off for me, up to this day:)) That's something I wanna figure out and share here ;)
@zachariahbritt1859 I'm sorry, but Benante is doing a much better job. I get that it's Zakk's style, but in reality he only bothered learning like 50% of every solo. And don't get me started on the riffs.
@zachariahbritt1859 yeah you can't only bother to learn half of the song and then (insert) your own rendition for the parts you didn't bother to learn correctly and call it "Honoring" the artist. You wouldn't study under Picasso and then slop down some oil for the parts you didn't wanna learn correctly and call it honoring. Learn the song....then if you want to add in your own flair, do so. I'm not saying he needs to nail it like Dime ...but atleast come a little close to it. Look into the guitarist from FAR BEYOND DRUNK. I think he honors Dime way more and is a better fit. Just my opinion. He doesn't have the fame standing in his own way. All I hear is Zak loving Zak playing Zak...it's like watching Trey Anastasio play. He's his Biggest Fan. Trey Loves Trey talking about Trey served on a Trey.sorta thing
I got the impression on the studio versions there are two guitar parts, so he's acually harmonising on the pinch harmonics. That could be why a lot of people hear this wrong.
Hi Attila how nice to know these technical details, watching your videos I saw many details of this type, and one of those that I could never discover is in the part of shattered edge.
Man, I thought my ears where pretty fair...until I saw this. I do believe there's a microbend in there too, but I'd have to listen again. Can't believe how much I missed in that tune. Fantastic job, & I'm looking forward to (dread?) the next one. Appreciate it.
Attila! Nice work man! I really like your videos. I was hearing the Left Channel of the song in the album and actually I think Dime does twice the 32notes at the second part. It a little bit weird but the Right channel does not do the same. Grettings my friend.
Thanks man! Yeeah, that also could be true, since I wasn't sure all the times, plus this definitely has happened on Vulgar and other albums, that some guitars, either one side, or the middle one, played a bit different... my guess is many of these happened accidentally but was left there intentionally cause they sounded good... Cheerz man!
Guitarists love to complicate stuff that isn't theirs. It's so common. One key is to remember that this stuff needs to be played live even when "tired." Make it doable. 😅
I need to learn the pinch or artificial harmonics. That would up my attack mode by a lot. I've heard it's as simple as tapping your thumb on the string immediately after it's picked. Also depends on where you hit the string . Between pickups?
You can generate that sound in many places, between the pickups, or even above the neck and so forth... It's super important, or at the very least helpful to angle the pick... also start learning it on the lower strings, cause it's much harder to do it on the B and high E strings... id practice it maybe in between the 3-5th fret on the low E, and A strings first, then add the G string maybe... Extra tipp, if you vibrate it, that helps, too... Extra tipp No.2. Teh way the guitar is setup, matters, too. The lower the action, the harder it gets, and of course, pickups matters a lot , too... Once you really understand the movement, it will get much easier to color notes with ;)
Very good breakdown of this riff! It's no wonder most of us didn't catch up on the 32nd notes, given Dimebag's super high-gain tone and the very loud drums during that part. Also, in the name of detail and corrections; you are explaining the riff correctly, but you have notated it wrong in Guitar Pro - first, you have written tap harmonics (a tell-tale sign of that is the added octave indication in parenthesis after the note itself) instead of pinch harmonics (which you can specify the resulting pitch of in the harmonics menu in GP) - second, if proper rhythmic notation rules are to be followed, you can't have a quarter note or a dotted quarter note sit on an 8th note offbeat if it is preceded by 16th notes, because of a combination of the "the beats should be clearly visible" and "the two-level parsing rule" (search for "The Two-Level Parsing Rule or Why You Shouldn't Break the Middle of the Bar" video here on RUclips for an explanation on that), it should instead be tied 8th notes for the quarter and an 8th note tied to a quarter note for the dotted quarter. Nitpicky? Yes, very much so, but that's kind of the entire point of this whole thing about correcting small details, right? :)
Woww! I hear you man, not sure if I could 100% follow the technical and theodetical details You shared here. Truth to be told, for one, the original, full visible tab is only available on my Patreon site (so I hope it's good there:)), and second (and this may be closer to the truth:)) I do not know theory therefore I might have simply f-d it up. Hope what You say here makes more sense to those who understand, and thank You for pointing out a possible mistake! Such constructive critiques are always more than welcome! Have a good one!
I think the pinched harmonic you switched from playing on the A to the D string sounds different because of how the strings are wound and decrease in friction as we get closer to the G string. At least that's what I learned from Rob Flynn of Machine Head when he was explaining the harmonics of Davidian to Ola England. Thanks for the upload, I overcomplicated this song.
Great initiative man! I think a breakdown of Cowboys from Hell riff would be more than welcome. All that string skipping and muting makes that a real nightmare to play like Dime IMO. Congratulations!
Which one you mean exactly? With a timecode maybe ;) Thing is that in this series Im covering riffs evverybody plays wrong, and actually Cowboys riffs I mostly heard right... There's one bridge riff though that I believe most play wrong. I did a full lesson on that specific riff: ruclips.net/video/g8aBP5fnwmI/видео.html&ab_channel=AttilaVoros BUT I think on the record there's several guitars, and some goes down with powerchords, and others chromatically with the index finger, while staying on the A8th with the pinky.
@@AttilaVorosOfficial The part beginning in 00:18 sec. And I expressed wrong (sorry, my bad), not string skipping, but the way of playing the notes in the E and A string, with the open strings and picking directions. Sometimes I see people playing this part with hammer-ons all in the E string.
Attila! Amazing video as always! I noticed though, on the second round 4th fret pinch harmonic, or second to last pinch harmonic before the last descend, dime does a weird slide with it too. At least live idk about recording wise.
Thanks man! Oh yeah, live that could definitelyy be the case. Here Im only talking about studio versions, Dime used to play around with His own riffs quite often, just amusing Himself (I believe), and/or just like as a heat of the moment kinda thing
Yup it actually is from my solo album called Strength Of Will, 'Blink of an Existence' Here's the full song with Attila Csihar from Mayhem as a guest vocalist: ruclips.net/video/dBLg6cTR8eo/видео.html
Yeah, super confusing for sure... So I believe all the albums from Vulgar are in 425... 427, dunno about that, ive been using 425 for yeears and it sounds good to my ears at least
@@AttilaVorosOfficial i will try out later, i dont have what i consider a great ear but i need to work on it😅thx for your awesome videos❤️, just found your channel yesterday here
Are you shure? I went back listening to it and to my ears he stays between 7th and 5th frets with pinch harmonics in d string... So 5th 7th and back to 5th... Not shure but that's what it sounds to me 😅
I agree with you totally. Also that fast group of 4 open low E chugs def doesn’t sound like it’s in the song. Atilla is the best in the game doing Dime. No doubt about it. But I don’t think he’s right on this one. Although listening to live versions he may do that the 5,7 and 8 pinch harmonics. Pinch harmonica can be hard to tell sometimes. I still don’t hear that fast chug though.
Judging by the way you look i thought you were somewhere deep in the Louisiana swamps, getting ready to record a sludge album, but then you spoke and everything went away. I was expecting Pepper Keenan to walk by any second. Anyway, good stuff
It's a Schecter Standard E1, which I later tweeked a bit (new pickguard, new locking tuners, new pickups, aaand put the pu selector to where it's comfy for me;))

Hearing cowboys from hell, I actually thought you were going to show how to actually play the main riff because everyone I've seen, including professional and famous guitarists play it wrong. The reason being, Dimebag did *upstrokes* through all of the main riff from cowboys from hell, not down strokes like everybody does.
I, too, for.many years thought that started with an upstroke, but im not so convinced on that anymore... im actuslly planning to make a fun video about that riff;)
he was a great player, a true prodigy. but i almost get physically sick when i see a dean guitar, its the headstock, dont know why but i just hate it and that colors my opinion of DB.
Is this a recent revelation for you or have you always got it right? If you got it wrong at first like the rest of us, from where did your awakening come? Much thanks.
It was somewhat gradual for me. I got much closer when I taught this to a very talented student of mine, and I had to listen a little more carefully. But I'd actually say live many times I still play it all over a bit... there's another part of the song I haven't seen anyone ONLINE play it right (but our other guitarist, and bass player in my PanterA tribute band have been playing it right...;)). So yeah, either when teaching them, ooor when I prepare and learn for these playthroughs when the awakenings come usually :)
tbh i think you should just make a whole series called “EASY Riffs EVERYBODY plays wrong.” and include other artists as well. such as Chuck Schuldiner, Kerry King, James Hetfield. anyways, you get the deal! lol
According to the statistics gathered by The Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, approximately 10% of the Earth's population knows how to play guitar. Assuming that this information is correct, Earth has somewhere in the neighborhood of 8,045,311,447 inhabitants so 10% of this would be 804531144.7 people who know how to play guitar on some level, beginner to professional.

@zachariahbritt1859 I'm sorry, but Benante is doing a much better job. I get that it's Zakk's style, but in reality he only bothered learning like 50% of every solo. And don't get me started on the riffs.
@zachariahbritt1859 yeah you can't only bother to learn half of the song and then (insert) your own rendition for the parts you didn't bother to learn correctly and call it "Honoring" the artist. You wouldn't study under Picasso and then slop down some oil for the parts you didn't wanna learn correctly and call it honoring. Learn the song....then if you want to add in your own flair, do so.

I was going to make the same comment 😂
@zachariahbritt1859play the song correctly if you’re going to honor the guys legacy.
Agreed, Attila would have been a better choice, but Zakk has notoriety and connection to Dime. I would have preferred Attila playing instead.
I got the impression on the studio versions there are two guitar parts, so he's acually harmonising on the pinch harmonics. That could be why a lot of people hear this wrong.
That I can also hear! But still, people tend to use the wrong notes
Love your videos. I always take away a new riff to jam from every video.
Looking forward to this series.
Hi Attila how nice to know these technical details, watching your videos I saw many details of this type, and one of those that I could never discover is in the part of shattered edge.

Also the main riff of cfh has an A power chord that many don’t hear and play wrong.
Yup, first 2 times only indeed those are A power chords, but then they go back to single notes
