Dimebag Darrell

Advanced Level

If you love metal guitar, then you will love Dimebag Darrell. His whacky whammy bar tricks, incredible technique and aggressive playing are still what most metal guitar players emulate when they learn how to play in this style. In this Dimebag Darrell player study Dion skillfully guides you through 2 solos in the style of 'Floods' and 'I'm Broken'. We then check out a heavy Dimebag style riff and peruse his signature tricks, licks, and techniques to make his so unique. To cap it all off, we take a look behind the scenes at how we got Dimebag Darrell's guitar tone. For any guitar player that wants to play metal, this is course is a must!
