Ron Jarzombek Synaptic Plasticity (Part 1)

[guillotinedeath]

some one please tell me what those yellow letter on the side mean?

[quarentine99]

tuning?

[djangido]

@quarentine99 I dunno bout this video, but on the record he uses a seven string tuned AEADGbe

That's regular six string tuning (E - standard), but the seventh string tuned down one step from B to A

[arkanoide]

fucking fast right hand.... i'm trying to watch and its blur

[friiksquirrel]

@arkanoide that's what she said.

[es339mh58]

Ok walls 1441 please post the entire video of this I want to see the entire song in fact I'm pulling my hair out not being able to watch the whole thing. If you can let me know who filmed it and how i can get a copy of the entire vid

[metalheadblues]

holy fucking down strokes

[Rikitino]

He just uses the pick downwards :P

[freakguitar1]

wtf stop talking about picking, whatever, just get the notes out.

better tell me what string gauge he uses on this 6 string guitar!

[AKMETAL666]

I never knew this part was down strumming.

[MadMadamJess]

LOVE ya RON! See ya am Montag... KICK ASS VIDEOS!

oxoxoxo

luv,

jessie

[jameslol5]

Insano e surpreendente.....

[1madaboutguitar]

I thought Dave Ellefson played Bass?

[osc999]

all downpickicking

[endoftheline9]

not true.

[osc999]

check again

[endoftheline9]

Wtf, dude. I COVERED the song on guitar. It only LOOKS like he's downpicking. I alt-picked some of the parts that he's downpicking, but it's not ALL downpicking.

[metilhed001]

@endoftheline9 Ya, he circular picks and it gives the impression of only down picking.

[Steve128967]

@metilhed001 Circular picking?

[metilhed001]

@Steve128967 its an advanced speed picking method, where the pick hand moves in an almost oval shape along the the string, you move more side to side then up and down. When done correctly its very fast, and easier to maintain during fast sections then straight alternate picking.

[arturmet]

@Steve128967 No, that is Jarzombek's picking!

[elarchenemy]

whats the guitar tuning??

[endoftheline9]

Drop A on a seven.

[grandoldbassist]

That guitar is not a seven string. He used two different guitars when he recorded Blotted Science. One in A E A D G B the other in E standard. He constructed the 7 string body and using a BC Rich neck after the recording and before the rehearsals.

[endoftheline9]

Yeah, but the recorded version was on a seven. Either way, it's Drop A.

[grandoldbassist]

"On the 'Machinations' recordings, I used two guitars. For the higher stuff, I used my purple and yellow strat tuned to E standard. For the lower stuff I used my Ink guitar, tuned A E A D G B. I considered playing my doubleneck for these rehearsals, but wanted a new body design anyway for the DVDs, so I built the black (with red blots) 7 string."

No, he didn't record with the seven string. Go to his website and see for yourself.

[endoftheline9]

Ah gotcha. I just knew that he eventually made a 7, I didn't know when he started using it.

[jacobcs]

damn dude it takes a really tallented musician to write shit like that, (if im hearing it correctly) hes playing nearly everything in a diminished or whole tone mode, that shits fun to throw into songs but hes full on writing with it, thats amazing.

[chewonfoil1357]

all of that is tonal, from what i can here. no modes.

[matrixmetroid]

He uses the 12 tone technique, which is where you try to use all of the notes (or most) in the chromatic scale equally.

[jacobcs]

thats really intresting. ive actualy heard of that one before but i didnt understand it. very cool!

[blockopastorius]

it's a bitch to write in

[XxSconeManxX]

Not if you understand basic theory.

[tvandale21]

His picking hand..Shit.

5*

[LordTJ666]

Why is there part 3 but no part 2?

[Walls1441]

I assumed that when he was writing it with the 12 tone thing that it was the 3rd section of the second.

[Walls1441]

Not sure if you are trolling or not but he tends to not use downstrokes for some reason. and obviously has a b in it.

[blackdeathgrind]

you're so oviersly a moron

[matushella]

is he using octaver effect? i heard 2 guitar but cant understand how? if he is using that effect can anyone give me some information about octaver effect (like boss oc-2) i know that pedal but i havent seen any video about octaver and distortion in the same time.

[staticxfrk]

you can also hear drums and bass. he playing over a back track and harmonizing to it, thats why it sounds like 2 guitars

[Raenydyne]

He uses a lot of diatonic harmony that you wont get from a cheap pedal effect. You either play the harmony (which is most likely what he does) or get a really expensive harmonizer and program it to go with the keys you are using.

An easy way to start is to play something then play the exact 3rd notes of that in the same key (different shape usually than what you start with) , then you get that cool diatonic harmony.

[Steve128967]

Not all of them.

[Aspartamebraintumor]

He builds his guitars with bass necks... which allows him more frets.

[alexv24]

No he doesn't. He just makes his guitars like this at his dads house.

[Jackdaniulz]

I just bought this blotted science cd and it kicks ass. BUY IT!

[DragonFlopp]

i like his hair.

[NOFUCKthrash]

Personally i love his groovy technicality!!!

[mongobongoman]

he's definitely catching some notes on the upstrokes. What tuning does he use?

[Athetosis]

It's all downstrokes, I think. Some notes are just played legato (hammer-ons).

Also, all of Blotted Science's songs are played in A E A D G B E tuning.

[jan1080]

I thought Ron only used 6-string guitars.

[7domo7]

AEADGB

with 29 frets, so he has the full range of a 7 string guitar

[blackdeathgrind]

crazy!

[SlaytanicWarfare]

this guitar has 29 frets !!!

[largemoose]

don't worry...he sweeps and stuff too

[francosvizzero]

he's great also in the alternate stuff!

[metabog]

Hmm he only does downstrokes.

[jpetrucci05]

yeah strange, I thought his picking hand looked different.

[rockthegorilla]

Only does downstrokes? What are you on about?

[metabog]

Look at his picking hand. Or maybe he just has a strange style that looks like only picks one way.

[rockthegorilla]

That's my point what's wrong with him picking downwards? Some times I eat cornflakes but it doesn't mean that's all I can eat...but it wouldn't matter if it was!

[metabog]

I never said there was something wrong with it.

[MetalUrge]

Wierd picking, can't pick it at all of this video!

[FierceDeity33]

yeah, heard the album, it's pretty fucking cool!

[TruNikkaz]

have any of u guys heard this album?? it's soooo fuckin sick dude...

[MaynardPJK]

Fucking insane guitar picking!

[MeatyCockandBallz]

damn this guy is like a surgeon on the guitar! Impressive!!!!!

[VanceMarks]

masterful downstrokes!

[friiksquirrel]

@VanceMarks that's what she said....

[BlikeNave]
