Scheduled to start in July this year and conclude more than a year later, the tour will also feature Lamb of God as support

“You have to be a certain type of personality” to fill Dimebag’s shoes, notes the Alter Bridge guitarist

Zakk Wylde, Fredrik Åkesson, Plini, Jason Richardson, Rena Petrucci and more will also serve as guest instructors at the camp, which is set to take place next summer in Florida

The Anthrax man revisited a role he once performed for Dimebag Darrell when Pantera were on tour in '97/'98, and operated a DigiTech Whammy V that carried a strong instructional message

The Kramer-wielding shredder tackled Wylde's take on the Cowboys From Hell solo, which he performed during Pantera's first show in 21 years last week

Armed with a Wylde Audio Warhammer guitar – the same he used for Pantera's December 2 show in Mexico – Wylde channeled the guitar icon with renditions of Manic Depression, Little Wing and Purple Haze

The band's reformed lineup – Phil Anselmo, Rex Brown, Wylde and Charlie Benante – looked in fine form as they played a set of classics at Mexico's Hell & Heaven Metal Fest

Drummer Charlie Benante has shared some shots from the band’s recent practice sessions

John Petrucci, Zakk Wylde, Synyster Gates, Nita Strauss, Steve Vai, Tim Henson, Ichika Nito and John 5 are all in the running to appear – and only the first wave of guitarists has been announced

The Black Label Society leader says he's received the setlist from Phil Anselmo, and has been putting work into learning a host of Dimebag Darrell classics
