Dion Rushe

Make the guitar scream

We kick off this course with an in-depth look at Dimebag's distinctive soloing skills. Dion skillfully guides you through the licks, including the scales, arpeggios, and theory behind every single move. We then spotlight five of the most important techniques that you can quickly add to your own playing. This includes whammy bar, harmonics, inverted power chords, and much more. We continue the course with a brutal track to learn Dimebag's riffing skills. We then end the course with another epic solo.
