Dimebag Darrell - Stealing From Legends

Sign up for my GL365 Academy to finally understand the guitar, develop a great ear for music, pro level technique and much more! Personalized support from me!

In this Stealing From Legends episode, we will take a look at one of the signature soloing techniques that the great Dimebag Darrell used in his legendary soloing style.

The concept we will be talking about in this lesson is his incredible use of symmetrical guitar licks.

As I mention in the video, Dimebag probably got his inspiration for this by learning the music of one of his main idols, Eddie Van Halen. However, Dimebag took the symmetrical lick concept to such a high level and made it such an integral part of his soloing style, that it would be hard not to use him as our main source of inspiration when learning how to apply this concept to our own playing.

It is a very easy concept to understand and will instantly give your solos an unpredictable yet musically exciting edge.

In this lesson, I will show you step-by-step different ways you can apply this very cool musical idea to you own playing. #dimebagdarrell #pantera #guitarcovers

Have fun! Carl...

You gotta make one of these videos about yourself too, Papa Carl.

Carl you make sense of what is undoubtably insane finger work when it comes to Darrels playing style. Being a huge fan of both you and Dime, you make it easy to understand and learn some of this incredible music. Thank you for re-inspiring my love of the guitar. I just started playing again after long breaks and loosing interest because of the learning curve. But you've made it so easy to pick up a few new songs and jam out with the bands we love and grew up with. I play on a 92' Washburn kc20v that I bought new, and now a new Jackson dinky. Thank you for the lessons that are amazing. Thank you

How about a Randy Rhodes video. Thanks once again amazing.

[WhatsUpDoc]

As someone in a phrasing rut, this was one of the most useful lessons I've seen in a while. I knew symmetrical shapes, but when you talked about how to set it up and implement, that is a very useful perspective that not many people discussed. I see you haven't done one of these in a while, and that is probably a strategic decision on your part, but I enjoyed this thoroughly, and feel others would support more of this type of content. Cheers! 🍺
