He used alot of legato , especially pull offs onto open strings in the middle of runs, he also used tremlo picking quite alot (see both domination solos), he alternate picked sometimes too, im pretty sure the first run in the cowboys from hell solo is alternate picked (it sounds shit otherwise) and the throes of rejection solo toombemg81 wrote:When dime plays solos(or sixteenth notes) like at the start of the walk solo and the harmony solos in domination when he uses sixteenth notes is he doing up and down picking? Or is he just picking it with a down stroke.
Thanks guys.

Dime had the original old-school digitech pedals. anything else sounds like shit.Revolver wrote:Sounds about right. What kinda' whammy pedal would he use? Digitech? Im tr00ly broke now.
I've got a newer digitech whammy pedal and i've heard an original one, they sound the exact same except the newer one has a midioutput and a detune feature, stop talking shit.insurgent89 wrote:Dime had the original old-school digitech pedals. anything else sounds like shit.Revolver wrote:Sounds about right.

I dunno, alot people have these kinda views. Im into Tom Morello too, who uses a load of Whammy Pedal effects n he uses the 1994 release - ive been hearin' a load of people say that the newer versions sound a lot different.dead forever wrote:I've got a newer digitech whammy pedal and i've heard an original one, they sound the exact same except the newer one has a midioutput and a detune feature, stop talking shit.insurgent89 wrote:Dime had the original old-school digitech pedals. anything else sounds like shit.Revolver wrote:Sounds about right.

It's just people trying to be elitish anyway, pedals like a whammy don't really get worse over time, even the oldest whammy is a relatively new pedal so theres no major difference. The only pedals that are any different to theyre newer counterparts are vintage ones like original big muffs,hot tubes, etcRevolver wrote:I dunno, alot people have these kinda views.

Dead is pretty right, but as far as technique he is playing the notes a half step down then bending to the notes he wanted.Revolver wrote:This is totally off topic, but how the hell does he get the pinch harmonics do sound like they do in the intro of 'revolution is my name'?

He alternate picks the first 11-12-15 on the string and then picks the first note and hammers on of rest of the same pattern, and repeats this for each string.rishman1 wrote:Hey guys,
Brand new here, and it won't let me start my own topic, so I'm using this one.
On the first run in the CFH solo (the 11-12-15 going up each string), does Dimebag alternate pick or is he hammering on each time? I think he's hammering on but I'm not sure.
Thanks!

The run from top to bottom of the strings is a triplet pick and then a hammeron for each stringcroninburg wrote:When i (try to) play the CFH solo I hardly use any alternate picking.
