Notes

Studio recording, 1996. Dimebag used the Washburn ML (Roswell Camo ML) with Bill Lawrence L-500XL bridge pickup into a Randall RG-100ES for the main riff sections. Effects included a Furman PQ-3 parametric EQ, MXR 6-band EQ, Boss NF-1 Noise Gate, and modulation/compression pedals. Settings are estimated based on era, genre, and amp model, as no exact knob values are published for this song's riff section.

Difficulty

The riff section requires advanced right-hand control for aggressive palm muting at high speed, precise alternate picking, and tight rhythm accuracy, making it challenging for most players.
