Notes

Live performance at Monsters In Moscow Festival, 1991. Dimebag's rig for this era was his Dean ML with Bill Lawrence L-500XL bridge pickup into a Randall RG100HT head, with Furman PQ-3/4 parametric EQ and MXR 6-band EQ in the signal chain. No evidence of time-based or modulation effects in the riff section. No amp reverb or delay used. All effects are pedal-based, not amp-based.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, accurate alternate picking with tight palm muting and aggressive attack, demanding advanced rhythm control and stamina typical of high-level metal rhythm guitar.
