"Cemetery Gates" (Pantera) Solo Transcription & Lesson/Analysis
So many legendary Pantera solos, so little time! But here it finally is, my definitive transcription and breakdown for Dime's masterpiece "Cemetary Gates!
Out of all the big Metal guitar icons, Dime is one of the hardest to replicate. It's one thing just learning all the notes of a Pantera solo, but it's another thing entirely to get the feel right and make it sound right. This solo is definitely no exception! A lot of care and attention to detail needs to be paid to get this solo sounding right, especially in the moody 1st half.
The fast legato licks in the 2nd half are also no joke and will require a good amount of time spent to nail!
Good luck and don't forget to share your progress with everyone in the Discord server!

Love these dimebag solos!!
This solo is goated. Absolutely sick.
Great video. I think Goddamn Electric is a cool solo that doesn't get as much attention. Also The Underground in America from the Trendkill album has a unique tuning and cool guitar parts, almost Meshuggah like.
Yes!!!!! My favourite solo of all time . You nailed it as well bro - got the dynamics down squarely !
Cool! We want do play it with my Band in the next time! Thanks for doing this!
Amazing as always. Thank you for everything you do for all of us, Bradley.
Cheers Wes!
