@@aldotapia3286 thank you. Good attention to detail. I like that. I never thought of Carlos, but yeah i like his playing. He is excellent, and he can read music too. He's pretty cool playing with Warren D. Good combination. Appreciate you letting us know
Dime was a master.I don't care what anyone says.I met him in 1985 at a club in Arlington.He came in to check my band out.He heard we did one of there songs c'mon eyes off of I am the night lp. He was such a nice guy genuine as you would ever know.Dime never knew a stranger.When you were around him he always made you feel like he had known you for years.Rare in the music business today to find an ordinary guy who just loved Music and loved his fans and was the biggest fan of Music then anyone I have ever known.I miss you my friend. I will always remember you and your kind words to me as a vocalist.what you said kept me going through the years.thanks for believing.R.I.P Dime
Mark Ludik I don't know man, I think a good grasp of theory comes with good technical playing, like perfecting modes etc and when you master that shit you're never stuck creatively, they go hand in hand... And I'm not being a guitar snob either, I didn't bother with theory for years and would have relied more on instinct and creativity.
I agree. other than its good to be technical as well. but, creativity and style are the most important at first. although unless you can perfect your style and creativity its pretty much useless hence the need to be technical. I kow that's kinda what you meant... im not trolling lol.
Best advice for aspiring guitar players coming from mister Dimebag : "Learn one new riff, technique, scale or anything else every day. That's 365 riffs or scales or techniques ina year." This way you develop a large guutar "vocabulary". Practice makes perfect but always practicing the same thing is like being the best at saying ONE word.
Thats great advice, but i feel like it only applies to people with the ability to learn that much. It takes me months to learn a song. Takes me weeks to get a scale down. And usually i end up forgetting something along the way 😅
@@plack_benis382 Same, one thing I do take from that though is don't spend your time learning the hardest shit possible. Instead learn a lot of the easier things you like then work your way to harder stuff
@@plack_benis382 - The more you work at it, the faster it will get. I can't say it gets any easier, but you will learn faster as you gain skill and dexterity. That is assuming you are practicing correctly.

Dream with a guitar in your hands then, that’s the only way to get to where he got, although he was far above what even a lot of the other “greats” were/are, but don’t let that discourage you. Just practice and you will find your voice/way in time
Does there actually exist even one person that does not love Diamond/Dimebag Darrell Abbott? I mean the dude was an absolute legend and did so much for the world of heavy metal and just music in general. Even people who aren't metal fans would see him play and be captivated by his music or at the very least impressed, not to mention he just seemed like a genuine guy who loved music and playing guitar. Thankfully legends never die and his short time here will not be forgotten.
When I lived in New Orleans, a friend of mine who is a fantastic drummer, but wanted to learn guitar, actually met Dime in a music store there. He was just noodling around with different guitars, and hanging out with the young people , showing them playing tricks for free, and having a good time. He even waited at the store while some of the people ran home and got their guitars for him to autograph. Talk about a fantastic guy. R.I.P. Dime. Truly one of a kind.
He builds phrases, puts tensions, in and out of scale as he pleases. No boundaries in his creativity, that's for sure. That sense of ripping melody apart made his solos even better and tighter.
+Ezra Dendy he was influenced by ....then copied holt and satriani ...who wasn't influenced by EVH and RR....that's why he changed cause everyone sounds like this in 1985
@Tushar Sharma "better" is definitely subjective but as far as pure skill is concerned, i guarantee Dime could play ANYTHING Gilbert could but Gilbert could not cut heads with Dime on a skill level.
he had only been playing for about 4 - 5 years at this point. ive been playing for about the same amount of time now and it is still just as mind blowing to watch as on day one.
I met Dime and had a beer with him and he was just a down to earth and cool guy with no ego but he had a great sense of humor and would help anyone that needed anything he is sorely missed.
["my level of hope is probably far beyond the sun and will cause some sort of an eruption someday"] THAT IS FUCKING RIGHTEOUS MAN. I HOPE I'M HERE FOR THAT ERUPTION SON.
He used to pull even more advanced stuff off later on before they became big. One of the big attractions for seeing them live back in the Dallas club scene was when he'd go from speed to technical etc live. R.I.P. Brother!
Dude was only 18 blending the styles of many different great guitarists to then creating his own unique style still blowing people away to this day, a true legend
Dime not only spent a lot of time absorbing Randy and Eddie. He actually went on and played every single chance he and Vinnie had. On top of that, his dad had a studio and some of the hottest country players went to record there and he would be there and watch everything front row. Sometimes his dad would introduce him to them and said "you know, my kid wants to play guitar too when he grows up. Show him something cool" and they'd look at him condescendingly and say "sure". Then play something nice but simple which Dime would go and play immediately back at them, and then they'd go "oh, that's nice! But betcha you can't play this!" and then play some really scary lick! He'd then go and lock himself to play until he nailed it! No wonder he was such a master, 'cause he never lost his sense of wonder and his deep appreciation for music in general and all kinds of players. He just kept absorbing stuff and making it into his own thing
interesting... I always thought there was something to his playing that went beyond the halen rhoads etc influences.... almost like a metal SRV, maybe not so much at the time of this video but years later, its like all guitarists from Texas no matter the style always have a little country/blues influence in there...
Back then you had to WORK to learn guitar licks....There was no internet...No Tab...No You Tube Videos to show you every note and where on the guitar neck it was played. You had to place a record needle on a record or sit hitting rewind on a tape player or go see the band live. I saw him play these solos MANY times during this period. He was such a fan of great guitarists and he paid the highest honor to them in his solos. MUCH RESPECT. RIP Darrell Abbott you were a great one!!!!
dime reminds me of Jake e. Lee here...this shows dime was a metal prodigy at such a young age!! Ozzys tribute album from 1987 for Randy Rhoads,...dime here is playing a few riffs from Randy's live solo...dime must of had a bootleg that had Randy's spotlight solo on it cause this was 84. tributes 87.… bootlegs were rare back then
Dimebag lives forever through us and now through our children:) I'm so proud when I hear my boy rocking out to my pantera cd's and I'm sure his children will rock out to dime and the boys too! R.I.P dime thanks for being a part of the best memories of my life! \m/
Thanks for sharing this! Just ran across this! EVH loved him! That's why the Bumble Bee guitar is buried with him! Also a little EVH influence in this solo. Dimebag was an original!
RIP to my favourite guitar player of ALL time! He started playing at 12 & 4 years later when he was 16 he was banned from entering any local guitar competitions in his area because he was so good that nobody else had a chance! 4 years people!
The Van Halen and Rhodes influence is plainly there since at this recording he is only 18 years old. Interesting to listen his development over the following years to really appreciate just how great this guys was...he absolutely came into his own and just really grew as a player and a musician into one of THE greats of metal !!
A wink and a nod to Carlos Cavazo, Quiet Riot/Battle Axe.. Damn I miss these monsters. This is what made real Guitar heros, and inspired so many kids to go woodshed. Love it. RIP Dime.
+Fernando Dornelles Take 18 months and dedicate yourself to the guitar completely. Every day with the metronome until it's your best friend lol. You need to practice smart, so make sure you have proper technique with BOTH hands first. Without it, you'll be wasting your time. Either way, good luck to you.
+Fernando Dornelles It is incredible watching him at this age. At 18 he was already a better guitarist than many guys can ever hope to be. Just goes to show how skilled he was.
So many comments talking about what he was playing that sounded like (enter artist here). So f'ing what! Do you clowns think people like Hendrix, EVH, Rhoads, etc., didn't have influences that shaped them in their early years? What I see here is an 18 year old that was far more talented than his age would suggest. I know what I sounded like at 18. Nowhere near this level. I'm amazed at how well he played at this age. There's a reason people like Dime were successful and also why the clowns posting garbage here dissing him haven't done shiite...
I mean he doesn’t just “sound like” some of these guys. He’s playing their exact riffs and playing tribute. For example He plays the Revelation Mother Earth solo by Randy Rhoads and also a part of his his life solo spot (which he would only have been able to hear ok bootlegs or maybe he went to the shows and just remembered it). He was a huge fan and was playing stuff that inspired him.
He was cutting edge for 1984 here. As I guy who was a teen who regularly bought Guitar Player magazine in the 1980’s, I can’t believe this guy wasn’t already a know quantity back then. He already was way beyond most players already at this time.
Dimes dad taught him the basics and Dime literally locked himself in his room for one summer and came out playing like this. True Story. He was a Phenom.
Brutal confidence! The dexterity is there, but the originality and depth of riffs were to come later. He sounds like he's channeling Rhodes and Van Halen in equal parts, and has a pretty "brown" sound. Barely recognize him without the goatee! I too miss Dime.
I 1st saw Dime after Randy Rhoads died. I have been a fan since. I met Dime and his wife Rita a few times and we had great conversations about Randy and how Dime also loved him.
Wow - I am blown away with Darell Diamond bag - I didn't even know he was around - myself MR Spady ---- DRS ---- blows me away - the next Randy Roads -------- I Salute you ----- RESPECT ------ Forever !!!!
Born and raised in Dallas/Arlington Texas. Met , hung out with this dude and turned me into a prodigy on guitar. I gave it up but I'm back on it off and on. I really don't listen to music anymore but when I do it's immediately Darrel or Zakk. In this river indeed.
Usually when I see shredders I'm just like meh nothing I haven't seen before. But THIS HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!! Every not just compliments the one before and after.
***** If I'm not mistaken, there were a lot off Bootlegs from those old Ozzy shows before the Tribute album even came out so maybe that's how he got that stuff down.
Anybody else dumbfounded when you hear the story goes... As told by Rex.... Dime sucked back in the day when they were jamming, then Dime locked himself away in his room for 6 months or so... Then comes out like an absolute BEAST. UNFUCKING REAL. R. I. P legend, and brother Vince. 🤘🤘
Dude!!! I've been looking for this solosince forever!!! There's a studio version that i downloaded back in the limewire days and have not heard it since
Lol same here man just found it today I saw a picture of the guitar and his outfit then searched and finally found it...there's a few special parts here...brings me right back to like 16 years ago when I was just learning and I never gave it up now I'm sick with it RIP DIME

I miss dime every day!! There is no other guitarist that compares imo! Always has been and will continue to be my favorite guitarist! I proudly have my Washburn 333 dimebolt hanging on my wall.
Man, to have hair like that, a body like that, and the shredding skill of a master already at 18.... he must have done very well for himself!! RIP TO THE LEGEND 👹
So technically when the gods feel like amusing themselves. They create humans like this and give em a hint of their powers. That's how artists like this come to be. True story. It's science. :-)
i dont understand it when girls in my class refer to people like jb or bands like 1d talented and say metal is shit - this just frustrates me knowing how hard it is to play a solo this fast and keep it up for so long ughhh sometimes i wish i was born 30ish years ago.
IwishIwasApanda Derp i agree with people alot of modern artist being quite talentless, though I don't know if I would rather have all of these videos to watch but not experience them or only have gone to a couple of gigs but seen them live. You tell me what you think I can't really decide.
Couldn't agree with you more. The girls in your class are narrow-minded sheep. You have a better taste in music. So many metal musicians write and play their own songs all by themselves.

When everyone is feeling down about their playing... It's not about technicality, it's about creativity.

And I'm not being a guitar snob either, I didn't bother with theory for years and would have relied more on instinct and creativity.
Great point, I agree. Though most likely Dime and other guitarists are playing in funky modes without even realizing!
Kris Faulkner it’s true my brother. I can play well but I can’t come up with anything that isn’t ripped from dime Randy or evh 😕

Back then you had to WORK to learn guitar licks....There was no internet...No Tab...No You Tube Videos to show you every note and where on the guitar neck it was played. You had to place a record needle on a record or sit hitting rewind on a tape player or go see the band live. I saw him play these solos MANY times during this period. He was such a fan of great guitarists and he paid the highest honor to them in his solos. MUCH RESPECT. RIP Darrell Abbott you were a great one!!!!
dime reminds me of Jake e. Lee here...this shows dime was a metal prodigy at such a young age!! Ozzys tribute album from 1987 for Randy Rhoads,...dime here is playing a few riffs from Randy's live solo...dime must of had a bootleg that had Randy's spotlight solo on it cause this was 84. tributes 87.… bootlegs were rare back then
Jeff,Darrell,Cliff, miss you!!!!
Now Eddie too
Dimebag lives forever through us and now through our children:) I'm so proud when I hear my boy rocking out to my pantera cd's and I'm sure his children will rock out to dime and the boys too! R.I.P dime thanks for being a part of the best memories of my life! \m/
\m/ PANFUCKINGTERA \m/
Thanks for sharing this! Just ran across this! EVH loved him! That's why the Bumble Bee guitar is buried with him! Also a little EVH influence in this solo. Dimebag was an original!
Im 18 and i can play the solo of Californication ;-)
BRIAN REARTES nice meme
BRIAN REARTES that solo is more then half the song.
Lame as solo. I can play Smells like teen spirit solo.
i can play the Lollipop solo of Lil Wayne.
I'm 15 and can play all the st anger solos on my acoustic bass
I can hear alot of Randy Rhoades influence such a prodigy you will be missed rip dime
Shut up, Mallory. . .smdh
There's so many shred guys around now but there's still something spectacular about Dime.
Soul
A genuine love for the sound of the shred.
RIP to my favourite guitar player of ALL time! He started playing at 12 & 4 years later when he was 16 he was banned from entering any local guitar competitions in his area because he was so good that nobody else had a chance! 4 years people!
The Van Halen and Rhodes influence is plainly there since at this recording he is only 18 years old. Interesting to listen his development over the following years to really appreciate just how great this guys was...he absolutely came into his own and just really grew as a player and a musician into one of THE greats of metal !!
I can hear Blue light turnin' red, revelation (mother earth), crazy train, battle axe and eruption
I was gonna ask if anyone cought Battle Axe at about 1:57
Musztardas Studios At about the 53 second mark he is playing Ozzy Steal Away
5:08 I can hear wring that neck by Deep Purple
Musztardas Studios i hear some of Randy's spotlight solo in it. Just a little bit.
How can somebody dislike this? It's awesome. Dimebag was greatest guitarist. This is my opinion. He is my favourite guitarist. I love him. :3
LEGEND!
Thanks EVH for inspiring this kid \m/
Whatever dime obviously loves Randy Rhoads!
yeah randy was so much fuckin better
The fact he is quoting randy Rhoades in this solo so perfectly practically brings a tear to my eye. My 2 all time favorites
his tone is incredible
A wink and a nod to Carlos Cavazo, Quiet Riot/Battle Axe.. Damn I miss these monsters. This is what made real Guitar heros, and inspired so many kids to go woodshed. Love it. RIP Dime.
I met Carlos at the starwood early 80 and was invited to all Snow backstage parties. He is a really cool dude.
RIP Randy Rhoades. You inspired the greats that followed you.
Posting this was a great public service thank you so much
makes me feel shit about myself hahahaha i'm 19 and can't play half of this
+Fernando Dornelles Take 18 months and dedicate yourself to the guitar completely. Every day with the metronome until it's your best friend lol. You need to practice smart, so make sure you have proper technique with BOTH hands first. Without it, you'll be wasting your time. Either way, good luck to you.
+Fernando Dornelles Same here
don't worry I'm 22 and I can't play this
***** right okay
+Fernando Dornelles It is incredible watching him at this age. At 18 he was already a better guitarist than many guys can ever hope to be. Just goes to show how skilled he was.
So many comments talking about what he was playing that sounded like (enter artist here). So f'ing what! Do you clowns think people like Hendrix, EVH, Rhoads, etc., didn't have influences that shaped them in their early years? What I see here is an 18 year old that was far more talented than his age would suggest. I know what I sounded like at 18. Nowhere near this level. I'm amazed at how well he played at this age.
There's a reason people like Dime were successful and also why the clowns posting garbage here dissing him haven't done shiite...
Charles Kaye So true.
I mean he doesn’t just “sound like” some of these guys. He’s playing their exact riffs and playing tribute. For example He plays the Revelation Mother Earth solo by Randy Rhoads and also a part of his his life solo spot (which he would only have been able to hear ok bootlegs or maybe he went to the shows and just remembered it). He was a huge fan and was playing stuff that inspired him.
Before a show Vinnie and dime would look at each other and say, it's Van Halen Time!!!
@@generose9083 Carlos Cavzo was in there too
Yes it was. From battle axe
To be honest, when I heard that, I got goosebumps...
He was cutting edge for 1984 here. As I guy who was a teen who regularly bought Guitar Player magazine in the 1980’s, I can’t believe this guy wasn’t already a know quantity back then. He already was way beyond most players already at this time.
his left hand looks like a face hugger jumping around the fret board. lol
The birth of a superstar
I love these dark bar solos where he puts the Greats in a box just for a minute.
It's amazing how someone with no lessons could play like that
There's no possible way even at this age that he never took any lessons from anyone EVER no possible chance...
Kevin O'Hara well I rad in some old magazine 6 years ago or so that his dad also had a huge influence on him (he was a country artist)
Carlos Santiago he spent hours in his room on getting better.
If you love something, you‘ll teach yourself.
If you dont love it, somebody is gonna teach you.
Dimes dad taught him the basics and Dime literally locked himself in his room for one summer and came out playing like this. True Story. He was a Phenom.
u kidding me this is imho the god of heavy metal guitar
It's ever rare that you get a a guitar-drum duo equally as talented. Especially brothers! Rest their souls Dime and Vinnie!
You can hear Randy Rhoades licks in his playing. Very good. He is missed. ❤️🙏👍💯👌🎸🎸
Brutal confidence! The dexterity is there, but the originality and depth of riffs were to come later. He sounds like he's channeling Rhodes and Van Halen in equal parts, and has a pretty "brown" sound. Barely recognize him without the goatee! I too miss Dime.
You are correct about Rhoades and Van Halen.
rhoads* spell the greatest of all times name correctly
@@aloskajr rhoads* spell the masters name correctly
ua-cam.com/video/lfZnJW8rLPs/v-deo.html
@@aloskajr Carlos Cavazo note for note as well ua-cam.com/video/lfZnJW8rLPs/v-deo.html
A lot of EVH influence here :D
+Aleksandar Friscic and i can also hear a lot of randy rhoads ^^
@@FatPeaceman more rhoads than anyone else
The fact he was 18 and sound like that... simply the BEST guitarist in my opinion there ever was on metal.
I 1st saw Dime after Randy Rhoads died. I have been a fan since. I met Dime and his wife Rita a few times and we had great conversations about Randy and how Dime also loved him.
I could pick out bits of Crazy Train, Eruption, Battle Axe, Spanish Fly, and tons of other stuff, fuck.
Makes you wonder what could have been.
Revelation ( Mother Earth ) too
Also End of The World by Gary Moore.
Even hear some George Lynch in there as well
I just got massive goosebumps and my eyes started tearing up... I'm not even joking.
definitely had the flash and sound effects down at an early age.R.I.P. Dimebag
Love how much you can see his raw influences from randy,eddie and so on in this. Really tells us about how he developed his own style and sound
Wow - I am blown away with Darell Diamond bag - I didn't even know he was around - myself MR Spady ---- DRS ---- blows me away - the next Randy Roads -------- I Salute you ----- RESPECT ------ Forever !!!!
4:55 The Walking Dead Intro ?
lol good ears son.
Randy Rhoads cover some of it.Dime really loved Randy
+IRONSPIDER433 Yeah, one part sounded a bit like the crazy train riff
pedro henrique DGTTM
that was "Battle Axe" by Quiet Riot
Born and raised in Dallas/Arlington Texas. Met , hung out with this dude and turned me into a prodigy on guitar. I gave it up but I'm back on it off and on. I really don't listen to music anymore but when I do it's immediately Darrel or Zakk.
In this river indeed.
I..love.re-living.my.past.with.awesome.you-tube.videos
Usually when I see shredders I'm just like meh nothing I haven't seen before. But THIS HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!! Every not just compliments the one before and after.
Lots of Randy Rhoads in here. I heard bits of the Suicide Solution solo, and Crazy Train too.
Yup. And pieces from Randy's live solo on the Tribute album.
***** If I'm not mistaken, there were a lot off Bootlegs from those old Ozzy shows before the Tribute album even came out so maybe that's how he got that stuff down.
Dougie Lixx Manross yes you are correct there were tons of randy bootlegs
Also a whole bunch of Van Halen
Dimebag darrell, criss oliva, jason becker, so many young talented guitarist in the early 80's
what a talent....RIP Dime! And thank you for the inspiration brotha.
Dime playing old Rhoads solos,Some Quiet Riot,...And those kick ass improvs,...deadly stuff here...Wow.
Dime was so awesome. When I heard he was murdered I felt empty inside for months. He is truly missed. RIP brother.
Anybody else dumbfounded when you hear the story goes... As told by Rex.... Dime sucked back in the day when they were jamming, then Dime locked himself away in his room for 6 months or so... Then comes out like an absolute BEAST. UNFUCKING REAL. R. I. P legend, and brother Vince. 🤘🤘
3 months it was
Dude!!! I've been looking for this solosince forever!!! There's a studio version that i downloaded back in the limewire days and have not heard it since
Lol same here man just found it today I saw a picture of the guitar and his outfit then searched and finally found it...there's a few special parts here...brings me right back to like 16 years ago when I was just learning and I never gave it up now I'm sick with it RIP DIME
O cara era incrível!!!
Além do tempo!!
Infelizmente uma perda irreparável..
I can play twinkle, twinkle, little star on my acoustic.
Me too, wanna start a band?😂
Tvrtle3650 i can pick 5 open strings a minute, top THAT
bang
I OWN A GUITAR I NEVER PLAY, top that!
LingKiin it took me 4 years to figure out how to play a note, TOP THAT.
Btw im not joking...
Imagine dimebag playing it
Duh duh daa daa
daa daa daa, daa da duh duh WALELELELELELELELEEELALALLLALALLLALALALLLAWEEEEEEEEEEEEPLADANDANDONMDADONDADONDA DA DA DA WEEEEEE DLDLA
🤘😝🎸🎶🎶🎶 Dimebag Darrell! R.I.P. Bro! Never forgotten!
Dat is badass! Miss u Dime.
I've honestly never seen a faster or more accurate player...
You obviously haven’t looked very hard, lol
@@chazbono5991 you're obviously blind
Bryan Holmdohl wtf do you mean I’m blind? You’ve got UA-cam, try typing in Yngwie Malmsteen.
@@chazbono5991 deaf, blind whatever, yngwie doesn't have nearly as much soul as Dimebag did, anything yngwie could dimebag did even better, dimebag showed of elements of jazz, thrash, death, groove, and anything you can name under the sun in guitar technique he could do, and he did it all with soul! So yeah.... THATS WHAT THE FUCK I MEAN, why don't you go stick your head in the sand or something, you're the kind of dude that will never amount to anything and die an ordinary man.... Unlike dimebag or your shit guitar hero!
Bryan Holmdohl that’s some real fucked up energy you got there sir. The original commenter said he’d never seen anyone as FAST and ACCURATE. It’s so predictable that you would fucking launch into a defense about dime bags soul, lol. Oh and maybe go see a therapist you hateful fuck.
Damn he was fast even then... Life idol! RIP bro!
I miss dime every day!! There is no other guitarist that compares imo! Always has been and will continue to be my favorite guitarist! I proudly have my Washburn 333 dimebolt hanging on my wall.
Man, to have hair like that, a body like that, and the shredding skill of a master already at 18.... he must have done very well for himself!! RIP TO THE LEGEND 👹
So technically when the gods feel like amusing themselves.
They create humans like this and give em a hint of their powers.
That's how artists like this come to be.
True story.
It's science. :-)
i dont understand it when girls in my class refer to people like jb or bands like 1d talented and say metal is shit - this just frustrates me knowing how hard it is to play a solo this fast and keep it up for so long ughhh sometimes i wish i was born 30ish years ago.
IwishIwasApanda Derp i agree with people alot of modern artist being quite talentless, though I don't know if I would rather have all of these videos to watch but not experience them or only have gone to a couple of gigs but seen them live. You tell me what you think I can't really decide.
Couldn't agree with you more. The girls in your class are narrow-minded sheep. You have a better taste in music. So many metal musicians write and play their own songs all by themselves.
up at 3am smoking this blunt. enjoying the greatest to ever do it shreddd the sh*t outta his guitar. RIP DIMEBAG
dime bags birthday is 5 days off mine (aug 18th / aug 20) this is a video treasure of rock and roll history.
1:05 little quote from Revelation (Mother Earth) right there. Sweet!
Yep. He defo was influenced by Randy.
