It will be in the third and final lesson video that we finally make it to that great guitar solo. It is actually a pretty simple song to play (at least the riffs) so you probably won't have much trouble there. So in the second lesson I will finish up all of Dimebag's amazing riffs. In fact, the solo is considered to be one of the greatest metal guitar solos of all time. Now I know besides this amazing riff there are some other highly influential guitar parts to this song. Then you will be able to simply tune your guitar to D standard and it will sound in pitch with the original recording. Concert pitch is 440 cents but to recreate Dimebag's tuning, you will have to set it at about 430 cents. To get to the proper tuning you will need an electronic tuner that allows you to adjust the amount of cents. This slight detuning is a trademark of Dimebag's. But that isn't all, Dimebag also slightly detunes his guitar a bit further than that. Keep in mind that "Walk" is tuned to D standard (D G C F A D). I will demonstrate how Dimebag performs this classic metal riff note-for-note. As heavy as it is, the main riff to "Walk" is actually very catchy which helps give it it's lasting appeal to metal fans all over the world. Dimebag's riff was simple and direct and probably the most powerful thing he ever wrote. The reason for this is the massive riff that opens the song and remains for a majority of the song. Upon it's release as a single, it quickly became the most beloved Pantera song with both their hardcore fans and general public. "Walk" was released on Pantera's 1992 Vulgar Display Of Power album. I honestly can't recall a guitar riff ever sounding similar to this prior to it's release. In the first video, the slow groove based riff by the great Dimebag Darrell has a feel that is very unique. The second video will finish all the riffs, and the last video lesson will cover Dimebag Darrell's solo note-for-note. You guys got enough votes on that video that I have now finished the whole song. This first lesson was part of my "famous riff" series, so I only teach the main riff in that one. This Walk guitar lesson series will be broken up into 3 different video lessons. In this video guitar lesson series I will teach you how to play "Walk" by Pantera note-for-note.
