Dimebag Darrell guitar tuition app released

From wailing pitch harmonics to jackhammer riffs, a new iPad app is giving budding guitarists step-by-step instructions on learning to shred like the legendary Dimebag Darrell.

Created by the UK’s Total Guitar magazine, the aptly titled Play Guitar Like Dimebag Darrell app includes detailed video lessons, rhythm and lead techniques, guitar tabs and backing tracks to allow users to play in the style of the late Pantera guitarist. There’s also recommended amp and pedal settings to recreate Dime’s signature tone, as well as an equipment section covering all budgets.

In addition to guitar lessons, the app gives users an insight into the life of the talented musician with a full biography and album reviews recounting the guitarist’s rise to fame in the world of heavy metal.

His life may have been cut tragically short in 2004, but Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell’s legacy is can still be heard in countless metal releases today. He was arguably one of the greatest and most influential guitarists of all time.

The Play Guitar Like Dimebag Darrell app can be purchased here for £1.49 ($2.26 AUD).
