Which of These 2 Bands "TOOL" or "PANTERA" is the HARDEST to Play and Learn the LEAD GUITAR Playing/Parts To?
A lead guitar question that should definitely interest you all this week
Question: * I had a guitar player tell me once that "Pantera" (Dime Bag) is very technical and hard to play the lead guitar to and is easier to play the "Tool"?
* I do not play the guitar so I can not tell the differences in complexity of the guitar playing.
* "Pantera" or "Tool" which has the most complexity lead guitar playing?
Answer: Dimebag’s lead style was exceptional. He had a very individual approach to harmony and by far, he excels when compared to Adam Jones from Tool, although as previous people have said, Tool have a far more adventurous rhythm section (and probably one of the best drummers ever!)
Dime is a shred head, whereas Adam is far more feel based. Both are great, but to learn Dime’s stuff, you would need to do a lot of foundation work on your chops
Pantera all the way. Just listen to "Walk" "Floods" and "Cowboys From Hell"
Tool has some very weird time signatures, but Dimebag is more difficult due to his insane shredding.
PANTERA. Seriously, Tool has nothing on them O_o.
Dimebag Darrell was the best. R.I.P
Tool beats Pantera at everything except guitar… (vocals, lyrics, drums, bass)
Although a lot of Pantera songs are comprised of relatively simple riffs, the solos are way harder than anything Tool’s guitarist does.
(Honestly though, as a guitarist I find that the only Pantera songs that are difficult or complex are either on Power Metal or Cowboys From Hell)
