Drop D is not that much used on metal... Think of Iron Maiden for example, what tuning do they play in? Standard of course! And if you're talking about hardcore metal, like all that death metal and stuff... They are mostly in tunings like Drop D, Drop B and even lower...
@Elthehablo iron maiden is not metal anymore dude sorry its not 1980 anymore - Drop D isn't used anymore in metal except for Lamb of God and a few other bands - most bands are Drop C or B, B standard, etc. A lot of 7 string usage now too.
@Zoopyzoop1002 u know how to tune E standard (normal guitar tuning)? u know how you usually tune the low E to the 7th fret on the A string - well instead of tuning the 0 to the 7 tune the 0 to the 5th fret A string = drop D.
@Zoopyzoop1002 yea i figured that but it seems like no one wants to help anyone so i commented just in case - anyways man you're right 7E=0A, but i said low E to the 7th fret A string, not E, like 0E=7A, or for Drop D 0E=5A , i just like that better - either way you got it now man. later.
Thanks,lol it's really hard to learn to simplests licks if you're a newb on guitar with all these "pro's" on youtube,and enspecially if you have crappy equipment.
I started learning classical guitar,now I know how to play real notes like CDEFGABC on a stave. (those are just few)
@Zoopyzoop1002 yea i know man - its like pulling teeth trying to learn anything on google or youtube - but sweet classical music man - u doin the finger picking stuff or no? i love the harmonic minor stuff man its awesome. yea man u need help w anything let me know, alright man peace

@gianniswildchild LOL, he teaches scales and pinch harm, not to mention sweep picking, If you can spot anything else that Lamb Of god do then feel free to correct me, but I'm pretty sure they're just speed harm whores much like me and my guitar.
@gianniswildchild No, they are nothing but speed and Pinch/Distortion whores, they are a good band, I like a lot of their stuff, but saying that someone who can clearly play guitar this well "Probably can't play Lamb of God" is abit, retarded?
@Sagaterious Lol Lamb of God in terms of metal is pretty slow and chill, and a band that would be All Speed and distortion is Nile, Lamb Of God is nowhere near all speed. Not saying their the best band ever or anything but saying "Lamb of God is all speed" is abit retarded.
@Dragnsht It's called pinch harmonics, and the technique for doing those is quite tricky: when I do pinch harmonics (which I'm not very good at, for the record), I take my thumb and I try to touch the string very slighty, while also picking the string. It is the thumb touching, NOT muting, that makes the high pitched noise you hear. It is extremely tricky and takes a lot of practice.
@rebellRR8 It's called a pinch harmonic. You do it by hitting the string with your pick and then you thumb right after. Search for "pinch harmonic lesson" on youtube for more details. It can be very tricky to learn, espeicially on the highest and lowest string.

@Grante95 dont get line 6, they suck compared to most other amps. i say get either a marshall mg50fx, a randall kh-75, a mesa boogie, or a fender super champ XD. really though the amp doesnt matter for distortion, i pick amps for their clean sounds and the amps i listed above have really nice cleans, if you want to play metal get an ESP guitar, a boss MT-2 metal zone dist, a boss NS-2 noise suppressor, and a mesa boogie.
@Metallideth94 Why would you get an MT2 if you have mesa boogie? you just go to the overdrive channel. and if that ain't enough gain there, you take an overdrive pedal i guess. at least thats what most people do.
@Meurth choke up on your pick so the side of your thumb hits the string in conjunction with the pick. As far as the left hand - vibrato for days like Zakk Wylde. Look up "pinch harmonic" on here.
Blackx5man its a pinch harmonic! Its a pinch harmonic bro! Pinch harmonic! Pinch harmonic! FUCK five pages of the same comment I think he FUCKIN got it by now

thank you soooo much this video makes much more sense......i kept looking for a drop d tuning video ,but i didnt know what to do for the other strings......THANK YOU!!
@shitfaced1312 Well, I am neither gay, nor a guitar teacher and I play in Drop D all the time. I would at this point like to list off just a few musicians who commonly use Drop D: Eddie Van Halen, Tom Morello, Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree, Jonny Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, and Thom Yorke from Radiohead, Adam Jones from Tool, Kim Thayil and Chris Cornell from Soundgarden, Kurt Cobain, Stephen Carpenter and Chino Moreno from the Deftones, etc. You don't even have an arguement.
@shitfaced1312 Explain to me how Tool, Rage Against the Machine, and Soundgarden aren't metal, or are shitty in any way? I mean, really. I think you should learn to avoid the usage of the term 'gay' as a negative implication. (I.E. 'That's so gay') You will offend people.
@kyletheenigma I'm just going to stop you at that last part and say that as a gay person myself, no gay person I've ever met has been offended by someone saying 'gay' in the sense of silly or stupid, except for uptight assholes who deserve the offense anyway.
Every guitar tutorial on youtube has these trolls that talk a bunch af shit about what the guys offer up. If you don't like it just fuck off. The dude is trying to show people with no experience a few tips and you have nothing to offer the world so you try to dog him out. Just say thanks and go back to your pathetic existence.
@blackx5man That, sir, is called a Pinch Harmonic (also called an Artificial Harmonic, or "squealie" by some). Basically what you do is pluck the string and then press the side (or side of the tip) of your thumb on the string immediately after. There's TONS of videos on it because EVERYONE has sat there and gone "WHOOAAAHH! How did he do that?!"
@blackx5man It's a pinch harmonic, after you hit the string just touch it with your thumb to create a harmonic sound. Type pinch harmonics into youtube and have a look at the vids. Takes a bit to get it right.
@blackx5man dude it's called a pinch harmonic is simple to do you hold your pick very close to your thumb scoop the string and let your thumb hit it so it deadens the sounds as you do this bend your string and blam!! pinch harmonic oh and when you do have your finger on the string to do a pinch harmonic just place it there lightly cause u wont get it i know it took me a little while to get once you got it thought it sounds fucking sweet hope this answers your question dude
@blackx5man its called a pitch harmonic, pick harmonic or any other nickname people wanna give it now. you do it with your pick hand using your thumb and pick on the string. cant describe it that well but now that you know the name you can look it up
@xxvogricxx I have a question being that I've only been playing for about half a year. I've been learning certain songs online and notice one song being played two different ways (In Bb or in Drop D) Drop D of course is easier, but other than that, why choose drop D instead of standard tuning or going down half a step? Is it just personal preferance or is it the deeper heavier sound you get out of drop D?
@MADBALL9991 when you tune your guitar drop D .. you know barre chords right ? so you dont need to use 2 finger but just one like : 6string :5 fret 5 string 5fret 4string 5fret in normal ttuning that would be 6 string 5fret 5string 7fert 4string 7fret you get it cuz my english really bad .. hmm if i could just show you somehow xD
@xxvogricxx Yeah I know it's all bar chords and easier to play. I guess you anwered my question. Drop D is more of a beginner type technique versus using 2/3 fingers for a power chord?
its called a PINCHED HARMONIC, its kinda hard to do if your new to guitar, but after a while its quite easy to get. To explain how to do it is quite hard, but the best I can do is : - instead of playing the string as normal, slightly "pluck" the guitar pick slightly under the string in one sharp motion. Whilst fretting on the fret of your choice. The E string (closest to you) on the 3rd fret it is quite easy to get
@blackx5man it's called a pinch harmonic. its when you hit the sting and let your thumb(or whatever you feel like useing((thumbs the most comon))) just tap the string slighty to get the high pitch to it.
@blackx5man its called pinch harmonics, look it up man, takes some practise and you may need to rearrange the way you hold you pick, i know i had to. but once u get used to it, it is a LOT of fun
@blackx5man its called artificial harmonic, just when pluck the string with the very tip of your pick you want to barley hit it with the tip of you thumb right after. not the best description but i tried to help. :p

Every guitar tutorial on youtube has these trolls that talk a bunch af shit about what the guys offer up. If you don't like it just fuck off. The dude is trying to show people with no experience a few tips and you have nothing to offer the world so you try to dog him out. Just say thanks and go back to your pathetic existence.

i thought this video was "how to play heavy metal" :s
you should change your title to "how to tune your E string into a D"
Greendaymaniacs 1 year ago
@Greendaymaniacs The title is fine. You need to understand what a colon means (in a series on metal, this is the bit about drop D tuning).
Not their fault if you're a bit dim. Thanks expertvilliage - I found the video useful.

@blackx5man That, sir, is called a Pinch Harmonic (also called an Artificial Harmonic, or "squealie" by some). Basically what you do is pluck the string and then press the side (or side of the tip) of your thumb on the string immediately after. There's TONS of videos on it because EVERYONE has sat there and gone "WHOOAAAHH! How did he do that?!"

@blackx5man It's a pinch harmonic, after you hit the string just touch it with your thumb to create a harmonic sound. Type pinch harmonics into youtube and have a look at the vids. Takes a bit to get it right.

@blackx5man dude it's called a pinch harmonic is simple to do you hold your pick very close to your thumb scoop the string and let your thumb hit it so it deadens the sounds as you do this bend your string and blam!! pinch harmonic oh and when you do have your finger on the string to do a pinch harmonic just place it there lightly cause u wont get it i know it took me a little while to get once you got it thought it sounds fucking sweet hope this answers your question dude
snowmankiller666 1 year ago
@blackx5man its called a pitch harmonic, pick harmonic or any other nickname people wanna give it now. you do it with your pick hand using your thumb and pick on the string. cant describe it that well but now that you know the name you can look it up

@xxvogricxx I have a question being that I've only been playing for about half a year. I've been learning certain songs online and notice one song being played two different ways (In Bb or in Drop D) Drop D of course is easier, but other than that, why choose drop D instead of standard tuning or going down half a step? Is it just personal preferance or is it the deeper heavier sound you get out of drop D?
MADBALL9991 1 year ago
@MADBALL9991 when you tune your guitar drop D .. you know barre chords right ? so you dont need to use 2 finger but just one like : 6string :5 fret 5 string 5fret 4string 5fret in normal ttuning that would be 6 string 5fret 5string 7fert 4string 7fret you get it cuz my english really bad .. hmm if i could just show you somehow xD
xxvogricxx 1 year ago
@xxvogricxx Yeah I know it's all bar chords and easier to play. I guess you anwered my question. Drop D is more of a beginner type technique versus using 2/3 fingers for a power chord?
MADBALL9991 1 year ago
@MADBALL9991 metal uses this tuning a lot
and they arent songs for beginners

@blackx5man
its called a PINCHED HARMONIC, its kinda hard to do if your new to guitar, but after a while its quite easy to get. To explain how to do it is quite hard, but the best I can do is : - instead of playing the string as normal, slightly "pluck" the guitar pick slightly under the string in one sharp motion. Whilst fretting on the fret of your choice. The E string (closest to you) on the 3rd fret it is quite easy to get

@blackx5man it's called a pinch harmonic. its when you hit the sting and let your thumb(or whatever you feel like useing((thumbs the most comon))) just tap the string slighty to get the high pitch to it.
