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 of 'The Great Southern Trendkill'. Effects and EQ pedals (Furman PQ-3, MXR 6-band EQ, Boss NF-1 Noise Gate) were used in the studio chain. All info is specific to the album recording, not live.

Difficulty

The riff requires advanced right-hand technique for tight, fast palm muting, precise alternate picking, and complex rhythm changes, making it challenging even for experienced players.
