  Incredible take Zsolt! This solo is what made me Dimebag's fan.
- Zsolt Galambos27th May 2010
  Well, if you look closely to Dimebag when he's playing this solo, you can see it clearly that he's doing the "fake echo" thing from the 2nd fret on the G string. You can also view the "Walk" video, or live footage of him starting the solo in E blues pentatonic on the 12th fret. That suggests that the song is not in dropped tuning, rather the whole guitar is tuned to D.
  
  And I've got some good news for you: if you like Pantera, "Cemetery Gates" solo is also comming shortly

  Legendary Song ... Amazing Solo .. Thanks !!
- Kristofer Dahl27th May 2010
  Fantastic - I am completely blown away by this solo. The licks are definitely not your average metal stuff - and the fact that it's played over just drum and bass almost gives it a jazzy feel. Awesome performance as well Zsolt!

Hi GMC-ers!

It's the time for some serious killer rocking, this time we'll learn the famous Pantera solo from the song named "Walk"!

"Walk" can be found on Pantera's sixth studio album entitled "Vulgar Display of Power", releaced in 1992. This is one of the most influential albums in Heavy Metal of all times. "Walk"'s 12/8 time signature creates a distinctive "walking" rhythm and it contains one of guitarist Dimebag's most famous riffs and solos.

The technical aspect of the solo is not that hard to master. The phrasing and the vibrato is what gives this solo an unique vibe. The solo also contains what Dimebag called a "Fake Echo Technique.

Techniques used in this lesson:

-Bluesy Phrasing
-Vibratos
-Bending
-Hammer-ons
-Pull-offs
-The Fake Echo Technique

This lesson is in D tuning: D, G, C, F, A, D.

Have Fun!
-Zsolt
