Guitar Lesson - Drop D Metal Riff

[dummer690]

your likes and dislikes bar looks like a light saber.

[theunholycrown666]

Guitar tone sucks dude. Totally flat and completely void of any tone whatsoever. Plus this is just ridiculously simple.

[76mrlonely]

Nice.

[spudzdad1]

That was very cool.Great work my friend.We are going to borrow this riff.Thanks.

[CoffeeSquib]

lol thats Db/C#

[FAILIER1]

guitar sounds like dog shit

[ovlada]

thats c# not d

[LordOfReaping]

sorry, but this is NOT drop d

[djhypnotic89]

my gitar sounds in dropped d not so deep like yours

[Videoguru184]

@djhypnotic89 Thats cuz hes in drop C#...Put you dont need to go that low,even for metal.

[bioniz]

gay lesson

[squishyTheGuitarGod]

Next time, can you put the camera slightly above your fingers (so it shows them at a 3/4 angle overhead)

It's a lot easier to see what your playing without spending hours looking for the tabs in your description.

[danno615]

damn u-tube politics all you people just enjoy the vids and save the arguing peace

[EdgeOfDefiance]

i use the line 6 spider 3 to play live and i use it for my recordings too check them out at our channel!

[onehitwinsit08]

Drop C and Drop A are so much heavier

[snakesuicide]

thats fucking shite

[GodOfMetalGuitar]

Stupid bitch below

Drop D is for ppl who want to play lower

and thats going on and on to C,B and more

That guys just thinks it has a brutal sound

Nice vid btw

[MindlessGimboid01]

wtf is wrong with drop D? nothing! look at rammstein some of their songs wouldn't be anywhere as awesome as they are now if they used standard tunin

[bloodygore250]

Great stuff dude..really good. Check out some of my stuff and tell me what you think.

[kolbie232]

Oh my god I hate drop D tuning. In my eyes drop D is for people who can't come up with anything original at all, i've never heard anything in drop d that sounds interesting or fresh.

[varulv234]

I agree.

[FranzyXL]

it's sounds best at this pace the slow down is for learners...

[lordsab]

Yeah, not bad, I guess. Really simplistic, slow, and..well...simplistic. I guess it's good practice for people who don't know how to play...but it could sound better..

[SlayerFan231]

The drum track on this sounds like Hair of the Dog by Nazereth.

[mrbones410]

Speed it up. Way up.

[Nitro487]

very Rammstein, in an awsome way.

[metalheavyrockr]

playing it slow really ruined it lol

[Gunslinger395]

hey dude, no reason to slow that one down. Its slow enough.

[aviran12]

if somone whants a good metal riff try out

saliva -click click boom

[aviran12]

easy one ..

[kill13skills]

he should put TAB on the top part of the screen so people can follow along.

[aviran12]

lolz hes puting this clip for somone who can do it without tabs ...like me

[jmiskinis]

This sounds really great. I can't get the

tab though, as the Feb 2008 page keeps

crashing my browser!

I'd love to see the tab, can someone post

(in a comment) the link to the single tab

file?

[jmiskinis]

I'm all set, the author sent me the tabs. Wow, I'm starting

to love the sound of drop D. I wrote a few licks myself in

just a few minutes while playing around last night. I wish

I recorded them, well todays another day. :)

[kof98rulez]

and like i said in my other comments i dnt really care for old metal its not really metal to me

[FullyLoadedTV]

BOOO!

[kof98rulez]

dude fuck you besides i saw your vids and i bet im a better guitarist then you so you stay out of this the little bitches get to talk after the grown ups are done

[b20002003]

i can play this song with my eyes closed.....

[aviran12]

lol dude anyone who can play this one can do it with his eyes closed...

[kof98rulez]

no offence but to me its not metal if its not in drop c or lower just a personal opinion and i like wat u did with the whole lead riff after the rythum riff but if i was u id mess with it a lil more cus i liked the lead but the rythum was kinda ...ehh but yah 5 stars still hope this helps

[BurntMetal]

Noob. There wasn't anything called Drop C in the early ages of Metal.

[kof98rulez]

i dnt like early ages metal but thats just my opinion

[Dtyler171]

Dude...almost all of the best metal is from the 80's. Paul Gilbert and Racer X...Yngwie Malmsteen, Metallica...need I go on? I'm still just a teenager and even I like early metal...

[metallova52]

faggot. what about the 80's??? wow you're RETARDED!!!

[kof98rulez]

wow u obviously dnt understand english i said in my opinion i dnt really like 80s metal i think metal is to strong of a word for 8s metal i think its more of hard rock just an opinion

[metallova52]

my point proven.

[kolbie232]

Kof98rulez, You're a fucking retard.

[kof98rulez]

@kolbie232 how am i a retard because i dnt like drop d? fuck off little nuts

[kolbie232]

Are you fucking stupid? I DONT LIKE DROP D DUMB ASS! and who talks about other guys nuts??? seriously get a life homo.

[kolbie232]

And i said you're retarded because you don't like old metal yet you like the new bull shit? AND YOU THINK METALCANT BE METAL WITHOUT DROP C??!?!? FUCK YOU FAGGOT!

[kof98rulez]

@kolbie232 niggga see me then ill fuck your bitch ass up

[bananaman1jovan]

you suck

[qberty182]

nice :D im gonna learn that someday! ^^

[peaveyst7]

nice riff dude

greetings from leeste/germany

check out my video

[PoPoRybnik]

can I get tabs somehow, please?

[VideoGuitarLessons]

see the post above search the blog archive by date or the lesson site under

metal riffs and licks course. It is in one of those locations. cheers

[PoPoRybnik]

thx! really cool riff!

[Metalfan1232]

this does not help

[VideoGuitarLessons]

sorry bro can't please everyone - thanks for your opinion though - btw it didn't help either

[DangerousMusicProd]

Metallica style :D

[GuitarTutsTricks]

nonononooooooooo metallica is wayyy better lol

[daimonk]

wow

Nice riff ! ! !

[VideoGuitarLessons]

this vid is probably the line6 spider III 15w on "insane settings"

[Dagorak666]

hey bro, what kind of amp you use?

[guitar7seven]

do you have tabs?

[VideoGuitarLessons]

yeah goto the blog and search for the date the video was posted in the blog archive - there are tabs for all the licks on the blog and more on my lesson site. cheers.

[josh3mery]

sounds like the bowflex song

[VideoGuitarLessons]

not sure if that's good or bad didn't know they still made those machines cheers.

[joshmista]

you do know that the "Slower" part dosent really help any

[VideoGuitarLessons]

it can't hurt either mr sarcasm

[xXRageAddictXx]

Notice how this person has Black Sabbath on his page.

[LandoMills]

sounds like a modified version of the redneck beggining

[ryanmichael95]

hey dumbass.....alot of stuff is really simple on guitar....zakk wylde can take a fucking pentatonic scale and riff like his hands are gonna catch on fire....and the pentatonic scale is just as easy as what this guy is doing....so shut the fuck up.

[VideoGuitarLessons]

that's the point its nice to have some stuff a lot of players can try - if you want something harder try a professional bands music

[nukethosebasturds]

drop D down a half step? You mean drop Db

[VideoGuitarLessons]

yeah just makes for an easier title the other way

[sophiejaynedoyle]

i was wondering if you could give me a tab for this.. i'm starting playing different + better music - i normally play Rock-Acoustic+Indie

Mesage back please x

[bajla99]

maybe somone asked but: what guitar u use?..

[Kenny1614]

it was hard to follow for me but that awesome!

[SimonWiesner]

Dude you suck....your totally out of time and your tone sucks cock. sorry. your probably not a bad guitar player. but good god those riff suck

[Etonlor333]

I smell a jealous scrub. Oh, that's just Simon!

[guitar7seven]

dude i cant see what frets u r hitting on breack down 4 can u send me TABS pllzz

[IaNdAcRiPwAlKa]

awesome - did u use a noise suppressor? whenever i set my settings to high distortion i get unbearable feedback (wid pedal and without)

[prestonbtate]

sounds like pantera

[frostysamich]

dude thats hardcore metal what did you set the amp to?!

[VideoGuitarLessons]

pretty sure it was the insane setting on either the Spider Line 6 III or my pocket pod again from Line 6. I like the treble range their distortion gets a lot.

[DavidTheGlorious]

nice riff = D

[ademaphreak]

Woah, woah, woah!! that riff is totally metal! Thanks for your lesson.

[floatingsword]

thats a really good riff but cant really see what your doing

[sk8terjedi]

Thats pretty sweet love the drums behind it...lol...= )...ya man even if your the best g-ist in the world thats pretty cool...

[skaterkiddd17]

bad ass!

[ljim1234]

hey cool metal riff

[Apokalypze2112]

nah man, this is pretty good.

[Jeremyguru]

You're a tard. That's a pretty good riff. You don't have to be a guitar master to teach people, especially beginners.

[zj16]

u have a small penis

[grocks2]

great video mate. keep up the good work awsome riff !

[StraightJacket65]

dude what gauge strings do you have mine guitar doesnt sound like that o.o i only have light guage strings and only a single humbucker maybe thats why

[VideoGuitarLessons]

on this vid it was probably 10-60 a Zakk Wylde dunlop set. and probably an insane setting on the line6 pocket pod.

[ChadLikesGuitars]

How do you get that tone?

[mastershake0023]

drop D is when you tune the low E down half a step. your tellin ppl to put it in D standard.

[muzaqqir1]

could you explain wat is drop d half step down?

[VideoGuitarLessons]

sure tune the guitar down a half step ( preferably with a chromatic tuner so eb ab db gb bb eb then tune the low eb down to Db.

[muzaqqir1]

so tune them down from the standard tuning? im still a little bit unsure. however, could you make a video on how to tune guitars, not the standard one, but Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb? if you can, i'll appreciate it alot !

[Bowtome09]

The hell with that tuning i play it in drop C

[scogar94crue]

haha i do too but theres nothing wrong with drop d.. i say if ur playing in drop D, why not just play in D standard.. like Motley Crue, All That Remains.. a lot of people think ATR play's in drop d, but i met them and played with them and they play in D standard

[Bowtome09]

nothing is wrong with Drop D

and u lucky bastard u met All that Remains and played with them

u rule

[scogar94crue]

haha thanks dude.. yeah my band opened for them a while ago. Also we were supposed to open For As I Lay Dying and August Burns Red on their current tour but our friend who was supposed to do sound for them is going to be out of town so he can't like have the guys who are running it now have us do it, plus the show is like monday lol

[Bowtome09]

that sux AILD is a good band ABR to

[StokeMidget]

i love drop c but i love drop d coz of lamb of god they play in drop d

[Bowtome09]

Ya I have 3 Guitars 1 Drop C another Drop D and another 1/2 a step down.

Many tabs that say Drop D i say fuck it and play them in Drop C for a heavier sound

[XRedthornX]

lol. The little bit at :50 is like a riff I made. Only mine is basically using it as a scale.

[000TheGingerOne000]

woah you hav a MASSIVE cd collection :) gd lesson

[Destroyer185]

Hahah thats nothin' you should see mine. Sweet riff, the drums remind me of Nazareth- Hair of the Dog.

[nightstalker909]

very nice man!

[DragonRidr33]

(In your beginning melody) I want those tabs now! lol please just for the beginning one.

[VideoGuitarLessons]
