Feedback
Zsolt Galambos7th October 2010Well, you can play the beginning part by adding a vibrato with your firs finger (fretting hand). I often do this when my tremolo is not available at the time. The endig lick could be played by repeatedly sliding your fretting hand to the desired positions, and the last dive bomb could be done by picking an artificial harmonic, and immediately bending up the string few notes, and then gradually releacing it.
if I dont have a whammy bar is there anyway to still do it?

Well, it's not exactly THAT squeal... you have to turn the whammy bar the other way and use only your fretting hand to produce the famous Dimebag squeal.Cool!!! I love the dimebag squeal!

Hi GMC-ers! In this lesson I will cover one of Dimebag's most famous solo. "Cemetery Gates" can be found on Pantera's fifth studio album, named "Cowboys from Hell" as the fifth track (though the band considers it their first "true" album, officially ignoring their earlier independent releases).
This solo is a masterpiece, and it's really hard to master It's not just because of the crazy insanely fast licks, but because of the sophisticated phrasing.
