HOW TO PLAY: CKY - "Shock and Terror" guitar

[Alphajester420]

awesome vid, awesome job. im a huge CKY fan have been for years this is my 2nd fav song (next to "sporadic movement") . I know you prob hate to tab but......I would love it if you would tab this. I taught myself how to play (with the help of tabs) the whole visual thing i get from a tab is what makes me :D i get the "jest" of what your saying but im a numbers guy lol

@Alphajester420 hey i appreciate your comment man. deron himself did an official tutorial for this song, so now you can check him out playing it too! i still won't tab anything though, i just don't have the time. tell me if you want another video, though. and hey sorry it took me so long to reply. im not used to this new youtube i didnt see that someone commented

good stuff man - keep it up

[eleshop]

It's syncopation (the swinging sound). That's what you would call it. =)

@eleshop duly noted! thanks

@pizaul79 thank you!

Anyway you could put tabs up?

[TransientWriting]

@hellrose18 NO. deron viewed the video and said i only missed a few notes (and what those are, i have no idea because i can't spot it.) you're not going to get better at guitar relying on numbers written by some 15 year old. tabs never even tell you where to SLIDE, which with cky songs is absolutely crucial. if you want to do it my way, watch my videos. if you want tabs you know where to find them. just dont expect to sound good. i put a lot of effort in making a VIDEO, im not about to type.

@TransientWriting Alright with that being said ,with the verse riff, seeing as though we don't see what your picking hands doing, which strigns are being used, i know what frets are used, but without seeing your right hand, i can't tell

[TransientWriting]

@hellrose18 the verse riff is all octaves starting on the "g" (DFCFAD tuning, not standard). a power chord is built with say the root (4) fith (6) octave (6). the shock verse is almost all power chords that are isolated into octaves (4-x-6) and slides (6-7) 

[TransientWriting]

@TransientWriting sorry for coming off like a jerk, i need to watch my tone on here. ill do a video soon for you specifically since you're right, this video is half useless without my picking hand.

thanks dude, this is definitly my favorite song to play now...you should definitley do more tutorials

[TransientWriting]

@ICScKy thanks man (and for your other comment.) feel free to send a request my way, i have some more free time now. or even favorite album, etc

[TransientWriting]

@ICScKy hey dude i just posted a video for you of this verse

[ochsbeatdown]

good stuff man, looks pretty perfect to me, that's pretty much how i play it...on the verse, i never really thought to go back and forth between the low/high octaves towards the end, i usually stuck to the high ones, but i hear how he's doing it live. pretty cool stuff

[TransientWriting]

@ochsbeatdown the studio version is really hard to hear. thats why i keep doing stuff of mr smalls. i figure deron and chad are playing the most "important" riffs. thanks! are you subscribed? aside from my other personal music i write, im going to post more. i think next up is "the way you lived" in anticipation of the acoustic version.
