"Walk" (Pantera) Solo Transcription & Lesson/Analysis
It's been a while since we've studied some Pantera, so I thought it was about time we got around to learning this incredibly iconic Dimebag masterpiece!
Unlike many of the other solos we've looked in so far, the difficulty with "Walk" lies not in its technicality, but in its feel and rhythmic phrasing. It's not mega difficult to get the notes of this solo down, but to get the the correct feel and sound right is a real challenge that implore everyone to try.
Good luck and don't forget to share your progress with everyone in the Discord server!

I find the beginning Pentatonic lick very challenging to play at full speed. Any recommendations Bradley?
on the really bendy part, is it possible he used the whammy bar to help get those crazy bends ?
This was a relatively easy one, but it’s so much fun to play. I agree that it’s Dime’s sense of sense of timing and phrasing that really makes this solo great
Mr Bradley please do a video/tutorial on how to do the frank gambale crazy rolling finger sweeping and his sweeping techniques pls!!!!
Like on his solo in credit reference blues off Frank Gambale Live! 🙏
What are you using to get this tone btw? It sounds spot on
Using a profile I found on the Kemper Rig Exchange!
Great solo. I still need a 100% accurate transcription of Blackened from AJFA. Pretty please!
Bradley please do something from sepultura, that would be epic!
I love this solo. One of my favorites. That slide thing with a tap is a variation of the old EVH slide tap that EVH does. I think I hear a drop pedal too?
Yeah it's tuned down a tone!
Goddamn Electric is another great solo from Dime
can you make peace sells or wake up dead solos next pls?
Unreal man! Would love to see more of dimes more underrated solos and some testament , skolnicks a monster!
Orion by Metallica next? (Both solos)
Sweet, maybe I'll do this after I figure out the "WTF" part at the end of Tornado of Souls 😅
Haha good luck!
Can you do return to serenity by testament
The second solo
Hell yeah! Domination next?!!!!
