    I remember reading Dime’s Riffer Madness article on this song and he mentions specifically how tricky the inside picking is from the A5 back to the 6th string (level 8)
    Ever since then I’ve always done it that way (before that I was somewhere around level 5)

      Yeah, there's days when it still feels really difficult for me;)
      Thanks for sharing this insight, hopefully others will find it helpful and somewhat of a relief!

    I start nearly everything with up stroke since I was a youngster, can’t get out of it but happy I play that way, even chords on the up stroke sound tough to me

    Here I came to find, I wasn't wrong on playing downstrokes, but, wtf!! yes it was way difficult...I was confused on seeing many and you now, play it on upstrokes, but I definitely like the downs sound much more..
    But, really i tell you I was going to watch a Dime's video for the 1000ksss time, to take away my doubt...
    Finally you solved it in the end!
    Thanks for this great one, playing it level by level and trying to change pick direction will be a great challenge ..!
    Definitely, you are the best playing Pantera !
    So many nuances, and it's just a riff...
    Love Dime, no doubt he is one of the greatest, thanks Atilla, once more!!❣

    I did not know about starting with upstrokes.. I even watched footage ot Dime playing it, and I just assuned he was accenting upstrokes but starting with downs.. have to try this. Waaaaait, now you are starting with downstrokes! Wait.. now I'm super confused. Ok, I am doing it right, but believe me it's hard to get to get it to sound good and clean. Great video though..❤

    I’ve always had trouble with that riff so I play it at the 0-3-5 position like ya did at first. An when I saw Dime play it I knew it was gonna be hard cuz, I remember even listening to it that the A chord note didn’t have that single note sound an sounded like a bar chord. But if I’d stop being a lazy ass an slow down an take my time I know I’d get it. But sometimes if I try something an can’t get it right away an try it again maybe a couple months down the road, I’ll get it down. Good video, PEACE!

    Love your videos. The best dime covers I’ve ever seen. Not trying to flatter or anything!
    So glad you ended up with level 8 being the “dimebag way”. I’ve seen so many other people cover it differently but it goes against what I saw in the dime clinic video, so I’ve often second guessed myself.
    If I’m not mistaken, was there a video of you covering this song doing one of the lower “levels”?

    Okay, I've been looking at Dimebag playing this riff. I'm pretty sure, almost positive, that he's doing hammer-ons from "nowhere" after the A power chord going back to the low G etc.... Try it out and let me know what you think! It's way easier this way and I think it flows better IMO.

    My mind blows when a try to play this riff starting with downstrokes, its just counterintuitive, so takes a lot of time to master it. So I have a question: does this technique sounds better than starting with upstrokes?

    • @AttilaVorosOfficial
      @AttilaVorosOfficial  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It is indeed super hard! And YES, I believe it sounds different! With upstrokes the accents are more pronounced, where's with downstrokes it swings a bit more
