Dimebag Darrell
Damageplan’s Dimebag Darrell has never received formal guitar lessons, but his style is legendary. In his riffs and leads, he used the major third to add dissonance to minor key tonalities. He was also a fantastic picker, but he preferred legato phrasing.
B.B. King
B.B. King was the first to introduce the world to a sophisticated guitar solo style. Using string bending and vibrato, he pioneered new techniques for electric blues. B.B. King, the undisputed “King” of blues guitar, was a lifelong blues fan and one of the all-time greats.
