Yeah, the higher the gain, the louder squealies you can get.

+1 billion. Pros are pros because of their skill, not gear.
...and skill comes from practice. If you watched that John Petrucci video that I posted (Rock Discipline), in that video Petrucci teaches several tough and mind numbing exercises. However, many later guitarists cite that video as a inspiration to become great.
So that's what you need to do. Hours upon hours of mind numbing exercises.

Yeah, practice is the really tough part. Whenever I sit down to practice, I do it for a few minutes and then start noodling around aimlessly. Learning songs is fun, but practice needs real dedication. 
Its the opposite for me. I can get it right when I am just playing that, but during solos I miss it. I never can never get it in the Comfortably numb solo.
You mean start of the second solo right?
I am doing that finger stretch.
Yes. It starts off with a pinch harmonic on the 7th fret.
Evanescence - "Haunted" has an awesome solo with about 5 of those squealies. The solo is isn't that hard to play but getting those pinch harmonics right is challenging.

I meant in regards of getting that particular sound/tone.Obviously practice is required.

..the riff from walk is fkn sick yet simple..He tunes strings 10 cents below._,,slight trebley sound
He actually scoops mids.
He turns mids all the way down while turning the highs and lows up. The arrangement looks like a trough on the EQ.
Such an arrangement will give a somewhat sharp attack. But the problem is that the guitar is a mid range instrument and scooping the mids means that the highs that you play will get mixed with the snare drums and cymbals and the lows will get mixed with the bass guitar and the kick drums. Playing live with such a tone would suck.

But then again, Dimebag probably knew how to work with scooped mids.

Trying to learn the rhythm guitar parts of Tornado Of Souls by Megadeth, probably the "easiest" on Rust In Peace. I think I'm gonna need some of those drugs that Mustaine was on at that time #mindbogglingcrazyshit.
