Metal is back! Dimebag Darrell is a walking textbook of modern metal guitar techniques, liberally spraying bone-crushing power chords, dissonant intervals, tremolo arm insanity, and a shredding lead voice worthy of the masters. Now all metal guitarists can go behind the scenes with Dimebag and Pantera. Here, he teaches the patterns and techniques that have driven Pantera to become one of the most successful heavy metal bands in rock history. A must-have, this book will go down in metal history as a classic.

A pretty good intro to Dimebag's playing.,
By Charles Scott Bennett "Mr. Bennett" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guitar World Presents: Dimebag Darrell's Riffer Madness (Paperback)
This is a good book to learn a lot of Pantera's (they since have split up) riffs. Although, it gives you a glimpse of some of the techniques he uses during his soloing, you still have listen to Dimebag play them on the records to get the full enjoyment of his musical talents. He is without a doubt, a great guitarist and this book will show some of his more innovative ideas. This book really concentrates on the riff, hence, the title. However, it comes with a CD that is much slower and easier to follow than trying to play with your favorite Pantera album.

Hell, yeah!,

This review is from: Guitar World Presents: Dimebag Darrell's Riffer Madness (Paperback)
I first met "Diamond" Darrell in 1984 when he was only 17, and giving guitar lessons at Mansfield Music. I'd finally decided I really wanted to PLAY guitar, and not just bang on it. They tried several teachers, classical, and a country teacher. It just didn't work out, so the owner told me he had one more teacher, a kid with his own band. In walked a skinny kid with the biggest electric frizz hairdo I'd ever seen, Darrell. Each week, he'd take my list of 10 songs I wanted to learn, and if he knew them, would show me how to play them. If he didn't know them, he'd take the list home, and next week, he'd have all of them down pat. I learned more in that 18 months than in the previous 35 yrs! Ten yrs later, I went to a guitar show in Dallas, and was waiting outside the Dean showcase when I heard a voice call, "Hey, Everett! How're you doin'!". It was Darrell, there to put on a demo for Dean. Needless to say, there were some wide eyes around me after that! Darrell dropped everything to talk to me for about 10 minutes. That's the kind of guy he was. We lost a goodern, that's for sure. R.I.P. Darrell...

If you love Pantera and Dimebag, you must have this. If not, there is still so much you can learn from to benefit all aspects of your playing. A lot of good info and exercises and he will also teach you cool tricks, things most guitarists would hold too sacred to divulge. He even teaches you how he did those infamous squeals at the end of Cemetery Gates! He also taught me something about how to harmonize that was so simple yet brilliant and has helped me more than other sources (that are so much more complicated). Also some great info on alternate tunings. He really does simplify so much here.
Above all he helps you to become your own person as a player and doesn't stick to any rule but to just go for it and not worry so much about whats going on in the brain or getting bogged down too much with technical stuff (ironic since he has technical brilliance as well, but he admits he doesn't know too many scales, he's amazing). He encourages feel and to do whats right for the song, he seems so down to earth and humble. So few resources out there available in his style, you gotta buy it! You wont regret it.
