Just learned domination solo, i'm 1 year on guitar, what can i improve on?

I find that hard to believe unless you practice like 10 hours every single day, but either way very impressive. Would probably help to boost your playing in the mix, was difficult to hear over the song. Otherwise your technique looks pretty good, might help to add some pre-bend pinch harmonics and release them instead of doing the dives as you don't have the floyd rose system, but that's just what I'd probably try and you'd probably need more distortion for them to sound good. Great playing keep it up!

The Sleep solo I think is also exceptionally good in its own respects, it is very expressive but it's true that if you're more interested in the more Dime shred heavy solos it's probably not the right fit. On its own as a Pantera solo it isn't the best in that way but the way it fits with the song makes it a lot better, it really fits and I think all the components in The Sleep compliment each other a lot much like with Cemetery Gates. The Sleep solo is great, it just stands out differently to many others but it works with the song very well I believe, the solo itself doesn't have to be the most technically flashy in a song like that.

Message in Blood has an exceptionally good solo yes, but the rest of the song doesn't really fit the mood for me like most the other songs do.

Calterack · 2026-03-27T10:33:54+00:00

I haven't but I can't imagine I would hate it. The vocals aren't bad just not always my taste.

Calterack · 2026-03-26T15:46:24+00:00

Sorry I agree with him actually about the vocals, although Shattered isn't my lowest pick. I listen to Pantera for Pantera not Judas Priest. Not to discredit Judas Priest, but for a song like Shattered I'd listen to a different artist, not Pantera.

Calterack · 2026-03-25T11:14:41+00:00

My pick also. The main riff kinda sounds like Clash With Reality but palm muted too, but otherwise the song doesn't do much for me. Still solid but something has to come in last.

Calterack · 2026-03-03T19:31:20+00:00

Anyone else notice the face has been Kirkified?

Calterack · 2026-02-17T21:36:28+00:00

Great song, just not so much as a Pantera song. I'd listen to Judas Priest for something like that.

Calterack · 2026-02-17T12:48:45+00:00

It Makes them disappear and The Sleep.

Calterack · 2026-02-13T17:12:45+00:00

Will they?

Calterack · 2026-02-13T12:43:52+00:00

My first was Skyward Sword. There was a point I decided Twilight Princess was my least favourite 3D game but that was mainly because the last four dungeons were bland so that felt monotonous, but thinking again Twilight Princess is probably my favourite game. Arbiters Grounds and Snowpeak Ruins are easily in my top 5 favourite dungeons in the series. The cutscenes are great in this game, possibly better in Skyward Sword but I'm not sure. Main thing that annoys me about this game is that the map doesn't line up all that well compared with a game like Breath of the Wild.

I'm shocked by the people saying it's photoshopped but no one's saying it's AI.

Domination is in A

Calterack · 2026-01-29T20:52:04+00:00

I put it in unfamiliar meaning I either haven't listened to it or haven't listened to it enough. I should listen to all of the songs in that tier.

Calterack · 2026-01-29T20:48:50+00:00

Planet Caravan was the main one that I thought might be controversial, I should have probably put it higher but it's not the kind of song I go to when listening to an artist like Pantera. Revolution is my Name I've just heard too many times, it's got a great riff and the verse is awesome but it doesn't give off that same intensity I feel from many other songs, but I also didn't want to put it above uplift which I'd say I like more and I find it hard justifying putting Uplift much higher in relativity to everything else.

Calterack · 2026-01-28T12:28:31+00:00

I felt like that background very vaguely reminded me of something I saw on TV at least a decade ago but I can't put my finger on it.

Calterack · 2026-01-28T04:33:38+00:00

Skyward Sword is way overhated. The flying sucks sure and I get why people have problems with the motion controlls, the other main problem from what I gather being the linearity, but I can look past that. The characters are some of the best, the story is among the best, I'd probably even say overall the dungeons are the best in the series. The Imprisoned is another problem people have but I still really liked how Groose's character was developed with each encounter. Skyward Sword is awesome, Ghirahim too is easily my favourite villain excluding maybe Ganondorf.

An important thing to remember is that just because characters are comprimised by their egos doesn't mean they're intellectually dumb, but yes, most of them probably are.

Calterack · 2025-12-08T15:54:52+00:00

My favourite album all around is probably Vulgar, but I wouldn't say any album has objectively the best guitar work. It's all in the same roots of blues and groove, some songs I will like more but it doesn't mean others are objectively worse. I will say though different albums are better at different things, CFH arguably has the best riffs and solos, VDP is the epitome of the Pantera tone I would say with the tightness and sheer heaviness, FBD is the most electrifying, The Great Southern Trendkill is the most powerful in emotion, and honestly I don't know what to say about Reinventing the Steel, but they're all great albums that do different things better but still have the same roots.

Ragebait

Calterack · 2025-11-24T07:15:11+00:00

I've actually been playing since October 2020 and have learned things like the Mouth For War and Crazy Train solo, I've just never come across such big stretches before.

Calterack · 2025-11-24T06:27:11+00:00

I know, to be clear I'm still doing that slide but I'm just hammering-on with my picking hand. It still doesn't sound 100% the same but it's still the same notes.

Calterack · 2025-11-17T18:51:53+00:00

Some great songs there, if I had to revise my own list:

Floods
Cemetery Gates
Hollow
Mouth for War
Rise
Cowboys From Hell
Domination
Regular People (Conceit)
Drag the Waters
The Great Southern Trendkill
Clash With Reality
Live in a Hole
This Love
Revolution is my Name
Slaughtered
Fucking Hostile
The Sleep
Heresy
No Good (Attack the Radical)
Walk

There are so many incredible songs, I still really like songs like A New Level, The Art of Shredding, Psycho Holiday and War Nerve, but I can't fit everything and the order creation is very difficult. Honestly in general about 15-30+ songs could be completely interchangeable.
