the best thing to do for this type of tuning is to do what slipknot themselves do. Buy a seven string pack of strings and just don't put on the low E string. it sounds great and isn't floppy. I do this to my guitar and i usually leave the other two with a little bit of a thinner gauge like a 54 or 48. a 58 or high will do the job easily.
for the James' solo i watched Cesar Huesca's cover of it and tried tabbing it myself. I don't remember it now lol sorry. I tried searching up his original vid but for some reason his account is suspended or w/e. Some other guy uploaded his vid here watch?v=ZpdugLkdhMk
that was all good but one mistake i thought standed out was one of the riffs when they did The limits of the dead!...but i give it a 5 star lol video cover XD
Nice Mervyn! You really are getting a lot better. Pinch harmonics were spot on. Solo was a bit sloppy, but hell, it's a tough solo. Alternate picking is really getting better! GOOD EFFIN' JOB. LOL.
DDDAAAAMMMNNNN your good i was shell shocked by the solo lol

He tuned it fine but the strings go all floppy when you tune it really low like that. And makes it hard to play.
xrunepk3rzx 2 years ago
Yeah Drop A isn't very easy. For best quality your supposed to play in Drop C and change the pitch.

Well... couple of things.
1. You went outta time kind of often... (make sure to work on that)
2. Make sure your guitar is in tune OR get a tremolo system installed on your guitar.
3. Overall, 3.5 stars. Keep at it buddy!
