Notes

Studio recording, 1994. Dimebag was known to use the Dean ML with Bill Lawrence L-500XL bridge pickup into a Randall RG100ES for Pantera's 'Far Beyond Driven' album, including 'Slaughtered.' No evidence of live rig or alternate guitars for this riff section. Pedals and EQ in front of amp, no effects loop.

Difficulty

The riff requires fast, aggressive alternate picking with tight palm muting and precise rhythmic accuracy, making it challenging for most players.
