@TheMetalHeaD256 Well said my friend! I like some freestyle as much as the next guy but it's nice to see everything where it belongs as well. It has it's place too.

@fullmetalfunk yep. and what Dime learned from his idol EVH is that there is no law that says you have to keep within the scale. he knew what every note, in and out of the key, sounded like and the kind of emotion it put in. he didn't do certain licks just to do certain licks. he put em where they needed to be. i know professional jazz players who studied it in college who can't play outside the scale quite like Dime did.

@SuperTimeStretch yeah you're right, he was. but his style was just different from most of the metal shredders of the time... most people by his time had grown tired of Van Halen and his company. everyone was going off of Randy Rhoads and Yngwie (forgive the bad spelling if that's wrong). Dime saw the scale in a different way. it was his choosing of notes that i liked, because nobody else played the same notes and off-key intervals he did. nobody would have thought to.

@SuperTimeStretch you dont even know thats how dime made it work.and i wouldnt say drugged...that was more phils style

@09052010boo Yeah he shredded, but it wasn't meaningless notes everywhere as fast as he could. Every note had a place in his solos. There was emotion behind them. Not just "Hey look I can play really fast."
-
@JacknifedTendencies I know what you mean. Unlike some guitarists - KERRY KING - that don't sound the same live.
-
@JacknifedTendencies well tbh if you play studio version solo over and over and over again live it gets boring... sure it's great to be able to remember your solos how they go but it gets boring over time.

Jesus Christ that's just the best! Something Dimebag had that so many metal guitarists just plain lack and never quite get the grasp of is feeling and depth. He didn't just shred out something like he was taking a shit, he put emotion into that and put every note where it needed to be. Nothing more, nothing less. Truly one of the greats!
