Dimebag Darrell
Dimebag Darrell of Damageplan has never had formal guitar lessons, but his style is legendary. He used the major third to add dissonance to his minor key tonalities in his riffs and leads. He had incredible picking ability as well but preferred legato phrasing. On December 8, 2004, during a Damageplan concert at the Alrosa nightclub in Ohio, something terrible happened. A deranged fan jumped onto the stage during the first set and shot Dimebag Darrell several times.

King, the undisputed “King” of the blues guitar, was a lifetime friend of the blues and one of the greats of all time. King died in 2015 while sleeping at 89.
