That being said, I would like to encourage all of you "shredders" to go find new guys to like. Dimebag, although a good player, was not that great. His riffs were tight but all had the same feel, he detuned a little to far, and his solos were utterly predictable: legato lick, chromatic pentatonic lick rip from evh, and a whammy bar antic. Please, don't try to stylize yourself after a player who adme his deal ripping off of other people. Don't lock yourself into the scale patterns he used, the licks he wrote, or the whammy bar tricks he stole from EVH. Look at George Lynch, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Joe Pass, Brad Gillis, or Jake E. Lee. Don't drift towards guys like petrucci or dime who are stuck in the same style and rut. All petrucci does is pick at hyperspeed, and is frankly quite boring. Expand your horizons, practice hard, don't get cocky, and play out as much as possible. Good luck and happy shredding!


I hope that the real musicians on this board can understand what I am trying to say, and while still appreciating Dime keep on moving down the road to musical success.

Or music period for that matter. Shit, you wish you were 1/1,000 the guitarist that dimebag was. Guys like steve vai are all about me, me, me. Aren't i the greatest shit in the world? When in actuality that cock swallowing vagina's music is boring as fuck. Plain and simple. Does he have talent? Of course he does. But i'm not interested in listening to somebody sweep across the guitar at 90 m.p.h. I need to hear music with a strong musical structure to it.

the_cricket wrote:You guys are blinded by your love for pantera that you do not see that he really wasnt that great. All he did was hop on the thrash train and cop other peoples shit. his songs are enver in one key, he knows nothing about music theory. Vinnie was the best musician in pantera. Obviously , you are all stuck in this dime rut and will never go anywhere. emulation is the highest form of flateery, and the highest form of stupidity.

With that being said....Dimebag was an amazing guitarist, although he's not as technically proficient as e.g. Steve Vai (who is also a great guitarist)


In fact, i'd even say that music is more about the feeling you get when you listen to it...and when i listen to Pantera, i get shivers down my back.
