Alternate tuning guitar lesson learn drop B create riffs rhythms heavy metal

[stinko444]

Wow man thanks you helped out allot :D

[jedimastergarcia87]

This is exactly what I needed. I play in drop b now but metalcore is still kinda tough for me. But this made it easier. Hope you don't mind if I write down some of your riffs so I can show my local teacher of what I want to learn. :)

[HEAVYMETALGODS86feb9]

COOL now i can play some BATMAN BEYOND and make a more DARKER BATMAN THEME

[pivetlord13]

what is your opinion on The Dimarzio pickups in this guitar?

[thepisces33]

what guitar is he using

[Turdinator7]

why would heavier stings mess with my trem?? :p

[JayDeeSG]

@Turdinator7 tension

[TurkeyTuck]

@Turdinator7

Definitely, make sure you adjust it. I don't use trems, but I know if you get thicker gauge strings, you're gonna have to change the tension.

[Xmack45X]

lol I dont think he likes Deathcore much...

[spoddie]

I'm starting a support group for bassists who play with guitarists who use alternate tunings.

Nothing worse than turning up to a first practice and one of the guitarists is using some bizzare tuning that sounds great in his bedroom but no one else can play with him.

[divie137]

@spoddie Hey, Count me in.

[B4MVrocks15]

i love the riff he plays in the beginning

[atc1con]

is that the jim root sig strat

[Kimmocheck]

@atc1con no its not

[TriviumAscendancy1]

@atc1con Thats a Charvel So Cal :)

[PuNkIsNoTdEaD01]

@atc1con no its a charvel but looks similar to his fender

[Dudelikes223]

all you really need to do to a floyd rose is maybe add a spring, and adjust the tension, right?

[DaveNassie]

@Dudelikes223 Yep... Thanks for checking it out.

[randyman54321]

Amazing

[jadadaya]

[grillo1985]

Drop B tuning kickass!!! ;)

[92COLETRAINBABY83]

Before I forget lol

[HeadbangingForGeeZus]

this is the first video out of several that actually helped me and got me to do a pinch harmonic..... THANK YOU!!

[Ordrtolar]

Amon Amarth Much =D?

[ShadowBrave21]

Lol that's wat I'm talking about

[akosiCoco]

OMG, my request granted..

[mo28mabini]

[johndoe83104]

I LOVE THAT GUITAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ohdangjoey]

Random guy: AUTHORIZED SERVICE!!! haha

[LuisOrtegaGuitar]

fuuuuuuuuuuuu- my first string died when I was detunning it

[akosiCoco]

@LuisOrtegaGuitar I think you need to use DDT strings for this tuning.. ahhah.. I'm not sure though.

[LuisOrtegaGuitar]

@akosiCoco what are DDT strings c:

[akosiCoco]

@LuisOrtegaGuitar heavier gauged strings.. DDT meaning (Drop Down Tuning strings)

[LuisOrtegaGuitar]

@akosiCoco oh ok thanks :D

[nssn240S14]

what kinda pickups are you using?

[JohnathenDavis]

Yeah economy picking is the only term for that that i am familiar with.

[HeadbangingForGeeZus]

@Brownstone522 then get off the video idiot.

[fraenkel97]

heavy metal?? i think is nu metal...

[MilanPavlovicSmolkov]

Dave Nassie For President!!!

[EMG801]

Or you could just learn how to set up a guitar yourself, and knowing the ins and outs of your intrument instead of paying money to get a freakin tech to do it for you.

[WpA09]

speaking of basses, i would like you to do more of the bass stuff, i'm a bassist by heart but i can play guitar a little bit

[WpA09]

or you could always buy a 7 string or a 6 string bass :P

[gotdapoison]

AWESOME LESSON ! ! ! You should do more of these, all the fillintheblank-core players want lessons like this one, 'cause I don't really think there is a better guitar player than Dave in any metalcore band out there.

[cmc47834]

Dude that first riff sounds awesome! Very melodic sounding

[alexandrospezikis]

0:46 ...that's not available on youtu .... hahahaha

[GuitarJunkyXL]

oh yess my parents will love it XDD

[AllOfUsLoveSpam]

I currently have a set of 11's on my guitar. Is that good or is he using even thicker strings?

[gavquinn]

@AllOfUsLoveSpam Try 12 or 13, but watch for your truss rod.

[DiveBombProductions]

@AllOfUsLoveSpam To be honest if your going to drop B I'd use 12's. they feel perfect for tensions and everything. But its about preference. 11's to me would be like Drop Db or Eb. Maybe drop C.

[hebrewhawk]

Awesome teacher,super informative video

[DarkAnimeAngel2006]

This video was REALLY useful!

[hillbillygenius72]

I tune my guitar to drop Bb so this video was very helpful thank you!

[wearblackclothes]

i love how ur just inproving and while your telling us what u just did u can keep adding new notes. as for my own sound i cant get the hang of on and off palm muting, also i cant seem to keep the sound going after the pinch harmonic, any tips?

[Musabre]

@wearblackclothes Hmmm, is your guitar tone suitably heavy/distorted? i tend to find if my guitar tone isnt meaty enough, pinch harmonics are alot harder to keep going.

[HaistaPaska92]

I fiddled with the lower tunings for some time but found out that standard sounds the best. That or half a step down

[lovepuremetal5]

@HaistaPaska92 Eb is my fav! :)

[ladicius]

@HaistaPaska92 depends on what you're playing.

[rockerdude29]

@HaistaPaska92 I prefer a whole step,or drop C.High enough to play pop culture songs and still be comprehendable,but low enough to sound mean and get the point across ;) Anything lower than that and Im getting a 7 string haha

[TonyGognitti]

@HaistaPaska92

or a step down :)

[machinegunmike95]

@HaistaPaska92 yeah its got more clear crunch to it. i love drop b or c standard for solos. makes it easy to use legato and whatnot lol. plus it always sounds great with classical scales

[coolumar335]

Damn this dude is an amazing teacher! Make him a permanent member of your instructors guys!

[Ju1ceem4n]

@coolumar335 sarcasm?



[JaymarkRadio]

@coolumar335 I agree! YO! 

[k5lta]

I just use a 7 String for B Standard.

[KiLLeRxxBuNNy]

[jassrokes]
