The right way to play Cemetery Gates

[seetherrr03]

this is just great, great, great! Thank you for posting! Which guitar/equipment do you use??

[johnnyckrock]

Hey, you play it a little differently at 2:20 compared to the slightly faster one at 2:33. The first time you just go up but the second time you come back down to the B string before the sliding part...when you do it fast I can't tell which one you're playing! Which is it? Great video though, this is by far the best version of the solo on youtube. Thanks!

[DimebagDarrellFan820]

dude can you email me the tab for the solo this is my all time fav pantera solo from the moment i heard it, this is the most accurate way ive seen anyone play it besides dime great job.

[kmlx19]

[samonmanify]

[dimeswylde]

[iiAMAZiiNCARLOS]

No tabs? U r cool man .most people that say play the "right way" are just douche bags that show off but suck...u did a great job man ill keep working on it thanks

[bdotson1]

Yeah... i remember guys like you when I started teaching guitar in 1984: "Hey Mister, can you show me how to play this song - I think it goes something like THIS..." You stink! (In a totally awesome-absolutley-fantastic-s­ort of way!)

Seriously - you absolutely nailed this and I am very very impressed - and thankful as my band's covering this and you just made my life WAY easier (except now I have to actually PLAY what you just taught me!) GREAT JOB!!!! Keep it up!

[andyrockmore]

kool.. nice bro, success fer u always.

[FatLadyKiller]

Nice brother. Great job on a solo a lot of people play wrong on here. keep shredding bro

[madlynluvwafireman]

@KidWithBlackHair, lol sounds like sombody's jealous ;)

[tttDye6ottt]

is that a fridge or is you're cold I mean cool wardrobe..??

[tttDye6ottt]

yeah but you're in the kitchen...!! the Justin Bieber's place....!!

[MrMastershake2001]

So this is what Frankie Muniz has been up to since Malcolm In the Middle ended.

[khalid7377]

This is the best lesson of this lick on Youtube.I'm begging you man , please hook me up with some tabs !

[KidWithBlackHair]

Your too arrogant...

[protege420]

very nice work, what you need the trem for, you did it!

[ssilikemarijuana]

badass solo man nice job can you please send me the tabs all the ones i found were wrong

[LTD9392]

Great Work. Could I possibly get some tabs? All the ones I've found tell me to tap when there's cleary no tapping in it. You've got it dead on and that's awesome. get back at me and I'll give you my e-mail.

[MassaPekkarinen]

great playin. But dude you look like cracked out gay pornstar

[MultiBill81]

thats keepin it real right there

[Mikael45831]

Awesome work dude!!! That was perfect! But how did you get that sound? Sounds very cool!!!!! And keep it up!

[Cambria0001]

Damn, "get your pull off that shit"! Keep shredding bro, you're a killer!

[Halo2ineedhelp]

hey nice guitar what is it?

[riders234]

Hey man awsome video loved it especially as its how he does it. You mind sending me the tab also like the thousand other dudes here haha :)

[mingemaster323]

Malcolm in the middle?

more like Malcolm and the METAL!!

[ksioamaral89]

how his fingers don't catch on fire!amazing perfomance!

[InfiniteMisery003]

ugh fuck this is hard. ur very helpful tho dude!

[gpfd235]

@InfiniteMisery003 keep working on it. You will get it.  This is his dad. I told him and his brother the secret to learning anything is this......if you can learn to play it slow first, you will be able to play it as fast as you want. Keep at it dude and you will make it happen. When you do, please post a video response.

[Megadeth837]

Yo man really great vid and solo can u make any tabs and email them too me messege me back

[MetaltManiac]

@Megadeth837 What is your email?



[blacksunshine3452]

[XxBFMV24xX]

[prutsikas]

Actually that's almost 100 % accurate...and this is a really HARD solo.

Congratulations man

[44WhiteChocolate]

[Dukebox69]

Excellent! Good job

[kidrockyearrrh23]

[bratwurstsalad]

NASTY!!!



[ROCKINA88]

hey man i met you on sunday, (alex) this is sick stuff man, im gonna sub, lookin forward to seeing you guys on friday!

[slipknotpetethez]

its in standard tuning right ?

[Olpaj]

@slipknotpetethez yes

[demonikdekay]

@slipknotpetethez standard D , Dime played in standard D and standard D dropped a quarter step

[KimmyJimmelLive]

It's funny. My father works for a record company and he came home with Shatter Me posters from Texas and I was watching this tutorial. The guy in the back was you. Haha. Funny shit..

[MetaltManiac]

@KimmyJimmelLive Nice man! I was prolly the one who gave the CD to him.  What is his name?

[KimmyJimmelLive]

@MetaltManiac Richard. For Rotten Records...Small world

[MetaltManiac]

@KimmyJimmelLive Yep! I remember. cool deal

[sup3a]

most tabs are very close to accurate, just then change it a lil bit yourselves. if you can't do that you're not worth this solo ;)

[DimeWyldeSynTremonti]

Dude, sounds f'n la-la-la-la-lovely!! Most people don't come close to that first fast lick, that shit was sick

[MetaltManiac]

@Audiolaboratory I'll just assume you are joking. haha

[MetaltManiac]

@Audiolaboratory Haha, funny

[madlynluvwafireman]

@Audiolaboratory lol....sounds like somebody's jealous :)

[stergenakis]

IS THERE A FUCKING ACCURATE TAB OF THIS SONG? All the tabs I ve found so far for this song are crap...

[MetaltManiac]

@stergenakis I haven't found one that is. Unfortunately

[progressivemetal4evr]

Greatt job man! thats one of the best solos ive heard of cemetery gates

[purple2cat]

do u know of any accurate tabs for the whole solo?

[MetaltManiac]

@purple2cat I don't know of any man.... Sorry. Several people ask about it. I have looked before

[camaxer]

the BEST cemetery gates solo cover!Keep on!

[codename40]

[CanonRulesSaysGod]

hey man do you think you could make a tutorial of the second part of the solo with all the crazy hammer ons and pull offs and junk?

[MetaltManiac]

@CanonRulesSaysGod I will get on that man!

[DimeBagDarrelForever]

[depravity0]

[yuarentdone]

[1000howdoyou]

good good lesson

fucking great!

[REDSOXNYG]

Hahaha you don't even realize it but you've already lost, its so pathetic that you can not insult me that you had to start trying to insult my dead family members, because you can't think of anything clever to say. Ooooh you called me a homo and a douchebag and a fag...really? you really think by me reading a comment from a nothing like you that I'd feel insulted, that just proves to me that you feel that way about yourself deep down and want to bring other people to down to your pathetic level

[VOLZIEGE]

well explained and very precise your playing ;)

[alfite70]

Sick solo at the end, you fuckin rock man!

[dhunterxxx]

man you should join the pantera!!!!!!

[Riffster1992]

thanks man, you really helped me out

[AsiasDad]

wow. one of the best covers I've seen yet....

[gibsonlespaul915]

thanks, that was extremely helpful man, sick playin btw

[DimeWylde91]

This vid really helped a lot!! Thanks man!! I understand the timing perfectly...my only issue is the pattern itself. But with a little work I know I can get it.

[tr8401]

your pretty good man

[MarshallVamp]

Wow that was awesome sir!

[MetalyourMom]

Man can you send a tab for that lick??...i have the authetic tab book but it shows a completely different lick...

[ternalator]

[ThaMusicManCrazy]

[strobe9]

[Kidkel69]

Very cool vid @kidkel69

[MCJA94]

Ahaha! You make it look so easy! lol

[WeSTsiDeRuLeZ217]

cheers for the lesson malcolm iv been stuck on this for sum time

[UpTheIrons199214]

Is your fridge running? if so, you better go catch it :)

[b1rdkeeper]

I've watched hundreds of Pantera covers and this is probably the best one yet. Dude you really seem to capture the subtle nuances of this solo. You got some of that ol' Dime magic in ya. Very, VERY nice. No easy task. And goddamn you really pull it off too.

Keep posting vids, man.

Rock n roll,

b1rdkeeper

[13234656989]

you sir play as good as dime himself... he would be proud...

[imt9]

gr8 video dude 

[elzupelzu]

28 People thought this was porn, and they disliked this :/

[UmadLoL]

Great player, and great instructor!

[aristeles]

28 people can't play the lick correctly and are jealous :D

[TheBattery4]

Wrong !

[davcout]

wow great job man, fucking awesome mdfup!

[junkerde]

people always mistake legatos for tapping, mostly cuz hammer ons and pull offs.

[plenovo]

This lesson wus absolutely amazing dude , 1000 thumbs up for you

[reedeman]

yo you gotta do a few more of these. this is great man thanks. much respect

[REDSOXNYG]

nasty, could you break down the solo for "Floods",and "It Makes Them Disappear"?

[BolagFMXBrightman]

awesome vid man , one of the only people who can play this song the right way!

[PortalRealm]

malcom in the middle?

[MetaltManiac]

@PortalRealm Yep!! Didn't know I played huh? haha, jk

[PortalRealm]

@MetaltManiac haha :P you good player keep the metal! /m\

[DeathNationGaming]

@MetaltManiac you do look like him alot lol

[88stockmj]

Awesome job. That sliding lick is really hard.

[LazaroGarzac]

NIIICE, Great Solo 

[ayybudayy]

you talk like dime, u must be from txas

[irv212]

I think you're the only guy on youtube who can do that lick correctly haha

[ayybudayy]

thanks for posting this, my band is covering this song and this is the only section that i couldnt wrap my head around until now. cool guitar , rip dime

[TheCiscoKid17]

Really nice vid, man. You do a great job of demonstrating the difference which is really what sets this one apart.

Would you make a video, or explain how to play the intro fluently on the part where dimebag starts his first solo right after the rhythm guitar stops playing that leads into that heavy distortion riff? It goes down scale, but then throws in some crazy finger stretching bends in between...I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Much help, please.

[barberryman]

That was badass! Great explanation about the timing of that lick ! \m/

[scarter3689]

you need to make an instructional video of the second faster part. you nailed it

[johntheguitarist77]

nice guitar what is it

[MetalRt1]

arent you the guy from green day? lol

[MetaltManiac]

@MetalRt1 Haha, no sir

[MrHeavysteel]

Biiig thumb up for you. This is a propper lesson where you explained really what's dime doing on record. Good Job with music in the background. I subscribed, thank you.

[gametested1]

You are really good man, but you kinda look like a cracked out gay pornstar....just sayin

[REDSOXNYG]

@gametested1 How do YOU know what cracked-out gay porn stars look like? Did you just reveal something about yourself that you don't want anyone to know?????

[gametested1]

@REDSOXNYG Uh...you never seen boogie nights...homo

[REDSOXNYG]

@gametested1 yeah homo, thats a movie, not a real gay porn which im sure you have quite an extensive collection of, oh yeah, Boogie Nights isn't about "gay" porn, try watching the whole movie instead of fast forwarding it to the end where DD whips out that big fake cock when he's talking to himself in the the dressing room, keep trying and I will own you again and again, or save yourself the humiliation and piss off!!

[gametested1]

@REDSOXNYG You-are-a-douch-bag. You own no one, you really do know a lot about the specific portions of the movie when the "fake" dick was pulled out, where he was at, and what they were doind when it happened....spent a lot of time watching that part did ya? Your mother is a whore, your dad is a fag, your grandma is dead, and you are a fag. End of discussion.

[DeicideFarmers]

@gametested1 You're an idiot to say this shit about him... he's a great artist so shut the fuck up ! :)

[gametested1]

@DeicideFarmers No one said he is not great, just that he looks like he has a little sugar, meth, crack, and X in his tank....that is all

[TheIn2Nation]

@gametested1 that sums it up real good.

[nomorelies86]

@gametested1 HAHAHA i just died a little.

[mightsystem1]

@gametested1 ahahahahahaha rofl such an awesome comment xDxDxD btw cool solo

[kickass5]

@gametested1 u should talk.u sound like a real dick suckin dirck ridin bend it ova tha desk ass motherless fuck. just sayin

[Chaseracing]

well done!

[Anniihilator]

some advice for practicing speed? and pull off fast

[kezcap]

awesome dude thats how it is man finally a proper vid!!! rip dime.

[dankspanktank]

you're great man. god damn long fingers though I'm jealous.

How do you build calluses doing that kinda stuff? It shreds mine off pretty quick. How often do you change strings and what kind do you use? Do you find dry hands the best to play with?

[rgt4all]

nice guitar is it the ibanez sa ? or s series?

or am i totally wrong:P

plz tell me

[gpfd235]

@rgt4all It's actually a custom guitar company called Zion Guitars. I'll have Ryan give you a response as well. 

[rgt4all]

@gpfd235 thank you i really like them!

[MetaltManiac]

@rgt4all gpfd235 is right. It is a Zion. They are a custom company in the east coast. They make incredible guitars! Pricy, but definitely worth the it

[mafiahit]

dude Ive never seen anyone play the cemetery gates solo like that man you hit every fucking single note dead on, every bend, that was fuckin sick man.. I saw how young u were at the beginning and I was like "Pff.. this kid doesnt know how to play dime for shit.." lol thats awesome dude, you have my complete respect

[smudgepost]

I am the most anal person alive regarding this lick; played it since the album came out and there are so many poor attempts. This however is not one of them. Great stuff..

[JackTheRiipperUK]

Thanks man really helped me out.

[schecterguitar08]

im glad someone knows what there doing

[DreadTactician]

Great video mate. Finally I found someone that knows what they are talking about. I was getting fed up with watching other people doing it wrong and just needed this to sort it in my head for me. Thanks.

[franco87]

AWESOME

[MultiLuke32]

casen ryan your grate at guitar love your cusen dakota

[KuzumonoStory]

Damn good!

[mandatorypsychosis]

sick technique man like it

[metalmanky306]

hey do you think you could do a lesson for the rest of the solo? youre pretty much the only guy who can get it just like dime (RIP)

[metalmanky306]

THANK YOU an actually helpful tutorial for that solo!! that really helped! thanks man

RIP dime

[M3t4lManiac]

This sounds right, I think it's the way he does it too.

[MrGuitarassassin]

yep that's why they call it legato run. Not a tapping thing or picked out. you can hear it in the song. Good work by the way man
