Dimebag Darrell
Dimebag Darrell’s Damageplan never had structured guitar training, but his playing style is legendary. In his riffs and leads, he used the major third, bringing dissonance to his minor key tonalities. He still had exceptional picking skills but personally favored legato phrasing. At a Damageplan concert at the Alrosa nightclub in Ohio on December 8, 2004, a horrific thing occurred.

B.B. King
For B.B. King, born in 1925, brought a complex guitar solo style to the world. He would utilize string bending and vibrato, which invented modern electric blues strategies. B.B. (which was short for Blues Boy) was called the undisputed “King” of the blues guitar, a lifelong companion of the blues and one of the best of all time. In 2015, King died sleeping at the age of 89.
