Extended djent-riffage which has no djent in it

[FokasSk8er]

Did you film WITH A POTATO?

[lancerambert]

I don't care what pickups you say you put in that Strat, theres no way in hell that rhythm guitar sound is coming from that guitar on the take in that video. You might have been playing the same thing but the actual recording was from another guitar at a different time...

[kodoku42]

@lancerambert No matter what you think I really recorded those guitar tracks with that Stratocaster and Line6 POD 2.0. The post-equalizaton has a big part in the final sound but I still recorded it with that same guitar you see in the video.

[AaronWelchMusic]

How did you get that tone from a POD 2.0?

[kodoku42]

@AaronWelchMusic with radical post equing

[METALLICA6547]

@kodoku42 i cant figure why on earth you would use that huitar for that type of tone what a waste of effects,you need to humbucker that shit up,if it sounds like this with single coil imagine what you would have with some humbuckers or active pickups ,come on man!!!!

[kodoku42]

@METALLICA6547 when will people realize that I used single-coil sized humbuckers (dimarzio fast track 2 on the bridge) although it's true that the video resolution makes it hard to distinguish.

Now that I got that out of my system, humbuckers or not, I too think that this tone was shitty. You should watch some of my newer videos for "better" guitar tones.

[METALLICA6547]

@kodoku42 never said the tone was shitty,just could be better,ill check your other vids out,peace

[kodoku42]

@METALLICA6547 true, you never said it. But my days of pod2.0 and makeshift 8 string tuning setup are long gone now that I use a real 8 and pod farm+cab impulses. I still use my Strat in B standard / drop A stuff

[iLoveDaSweetLeaf]

hey man im view 8181

8+1+8+1= 18= 9(1+8)

81+81= 162= 9(1+6+2)

fractals are fun!! =D nice jam too

[DressLikeAGuitarget]

@iLoveDaSweetLeaf I do that shit all the time too hahaha

[morbida]

Hahaha I was like... a strat...this guys must be so poor XD But then I heard it an WOW what a tone!!

[jtpmm777]

hey man. great playing

can you tell me:

1. what is that tuning?

2. what gauge strings do you use for strat style scale?

[JohnnySniper47]

this is cooooooooool



[clarkshapedbox]

strat tone are perfect for djent.

[kodoku42]

@clarkshapedbox yeah, strats are twangy... although there's not much twang in this video :D

[jollywood999]

Asweome playing! How do you get that sort of "buzzy" djent guitar tone?

[kodoku42]

@jollywood999 in this piece it was mostly post EQing that produced that buzzy sound

[2manynotes]

Hey I'm your 6666 viewer!!

[kodoku42]

@2manynotes wow, this many views

[BrutalG0re]

pretty fucking nice sound man!. are those pickups dimarzio choppers? and can you tell me whats your string gauge please?. cheers \m/

[kodoku42]

@BrutalG0re Fast Track 2 at the bridge and Pro Track at neck position. I believe I used a .068 - .014 set on this video.

[99Bassist]

Good tone out of a Strat, but the riff needs a little work, I think. The last few seconds were pretty cool. Why do we get a blank screen?

[Nonikailol]

Reminds me alot of pineal gland optics tbh

[ffhk1]

Nice sounding strat

[MaxxHaste91]

whats the point in having a badass chunky tone if you dont venture beyond the realm of the first five frets

[viperxl]

how the fuck did u get that tone out of that strat? settings?

[kimthebutcher]

Fuck that's tough

[kabelsatan0]

lol the first djenting i ever did was with a Squier Strat tuned to AEAFG with four guitar strings a bass string at the bottom!

Oh and nice riffs btw1

[Gnoorf]

remember me of Meshuggah

[ArtOfPhire]

Bulbasaur cleared it up on a Metal Injection interview that he did not create the word "djent"; Fredrik Thordendal from Messhugah created it on a message board long ago.

[eskimojoe1]

on a strat with the single coil pickups? really?

[kodoku42]

@eskimojoe1 Actually there's humbuckers on bridge and neck position (single coil -sized ones) but you can't quite see them because the picture is shit.

[inthedesert69]

I think they should change this style of music from "djent" to PERIPHERY RIPOFF MUSIC.

[Misterdooglass]

Periphery/bulb did not invent this. They just did a good job making it popular.

[Kaizen9001]

@inthedesert69 Umm... I'm fairly sure meshuggah did this whole thing long before periphery. I love periphery n all, but if you are gonna call all djent periphery ripoff, you'll just end up saying that every band is ripping off whoever influences them. Yes they use similar guitar tone, but that is due to the fact that it has very fast attack and a very fast cutoff which is necessary for playing this type of music and still having it sound clean.

[Dxthlxss]

GREAT TUNE for an strat

what tunning u r using in this vid??

[Pirateparty]

give a djentleman a strat, and he will djent the FUCK out of it

[xzackkynapalmx]

exDJENTed...

[behavioranalyst2]

i really like the stuff you wrote the music so you would kno but what you refer to as riff cycles are actually called hemiolas (he-me-o-la) a hemiola is when there a pattern played 4/4 for example but is actually the duration of 5 quarter notes im not sure if that exists in this piece but i just wanted you to know that is what it is called .........GREAT MUSIC VERY INTERESTING

[evilcartman555]

hemiola is triplets over duplets or vice-versa. what you're talking about is polymetre

[djentaphobia]

I believe you are referring to metric modulation?

[twisted21bassist]

Fucking sickest strat tone ever.

[nemersiz]

man i dunno what to say to you. but awesome.

[LordHines420]

seriously, the beginning sounds kinda like Pineal Gland Optics, and the end is just fucking nuts. u need to sell this to them for their next CD, lol.

KICK ASS!!!!!

[LordHines420]

dude, this is BETTER than meshuggah. how the hell do u do it!!!!

[DrJacKo]

? better than meshuggah? this is a stupid coment.

[danuu2]

That tone came out of a Pod 2.0?!

[kodoku42]

Pod 2.0, cheap tube screamer copy and some editing.

[alk4h0l1k]

how do you do the drum?

[kodoku42]

that was done with toontrack's ezdrummer/drumkit from hell expansion

[alk4h0l1k]

ya, but how do you use it? the only way to use it is to copy/paste existing drum stuff.. but how do you make polyrhythmic rhythms?

[kodoku42]

You can map your drums note by note on the midi track in your host program. There's kinda no polyrhythms, just 4/4 timing but with "riff cycles" which break the boundaries of a single or 4/4 sequences. The drum notes are more or less syncopated with the guitar.
