What tuning is this in?

DROP C?

[HammettSHREDZ]

Yep!

[TareoO]

this looks like you played in EADGBe?

i've found just for CDC something... or am i wrong?

could you give me some good tabs for EADGBe?

would be great

[horusoftheblackflame]

@TareoO hate to break it to you but NO ONE in contemporary metal plays standard tuning (EADGBe). of course, the morpheus droptune would probably help you out. look it up. MORPHEUS DROPTUNE. it downtunes automatically for you

[TareoO]

@horusoftheblackflame well there are some bands playing standart tuning and I've seen this morpheus thing once before.

though i don't know why i saw standart tuning in this vid before. it's clearly a dropped tuning, at least dropped E string

maybe i was drunk...

[horusoftheblackflame]

@TareoO honestly, it feels like everybody uses everything but standard tuning nowadays. the reason why its almost nonexistant(hey, there could be one exception) in metal is because in metal the goal is normally to obtain a heavy sound, hence why standard is never used. and yeah, you're correct. drop tunings are really popular so he proably was using a drop tuning

[TareoO]

@horusoftheblackflame yeah of course one wants to sound most heavy, but when metal was in the beginning there was much standart tuning and that even remains/remained in thrash metal, which i think is very heavy (though i think you would more talk about heavy stuff like death and black metal)

[horusoftheblackflame]

@TareoO in my own weird way, i was trying to help you out. i assumed you to be the standard modern metal fan, and modern metal very rarely uses standard(unless its a seven string, lol). but you're absolutely correct about the classic metal. thats what i love about it. iron maiden never needed to tune down, and "the sentinel" was just as heavy without downtuning. also, old school metallica never tuned down for 1st 4 albums. if you want, i can reccommend classic metal songs that will help you out.

[TareoO]

@horusoftheblackflame thanks, but since i listen to old-school heavy metal myself, i don't need that much recommendmend i think ;)

but i also like the sound, amon amarth for example has. though even bands with growling etc. have sometimes standart tuning: look at ensiferum, they're great with standart tuning

[horusoftheblackflame]

@TareoO funny how you bring amon amarth up cuz i love the sound their guitars make. and you've just turned me towards one helluva kickass band... thank you :) Also, in my initial post i was thinking about saying "most bands" instead of "no one" but i thought it'd make my side of the argument look weak. there are always exceptions and i am now going to go download ensiferum... thank you

[Technosel]

Im pretty sure the first vid i watched was ur bass session and u were wearing those pajama pants LOL Good cover man

[HammettSHREDZ]

Omg that was forever ago! I don't even have my bass anymore :P.

Oh and are you hitting the "Invite all" option on Gears 2 or just inviting me? Because I sold Gears 2 a while back lol.

[Technosel]

Ya i just hit the invite all lol. Ya i got rid of my bass too, it was fun for awhile. Gotta play some halo or rock band some time.

[SynysterSS24]

Sounds good brotha. I feel your job pain, trust me. Close to 15 applications, no luck.

[HammettSHREDZ]

CHRIS!!!! :DDDDDD

Thank you :).

[avengedfanbase]

@SynysterSS24 do you by chance know who avenged sevenfold or synister gates is?

[Hetriani]

That was sweet man!!! 5* great job!!! can't wait for more, I'm personally really excited to see Poor Twisted Me :)

you rock \m/

[HammettSHREDZ]

Glad to hear it :).

Been playing Poor Twisted Me for a good while and it's always been one of my favorites from Load.

[Hetriani]

Ya man it is one of my fav's too!!! Unfortunately it's very underrated

[FeuerEngelxSSx]

Nice cover, solo is good.

PS Nice homer pant's :P

[HammettSHREDZ]

The Homer pj's are said to give me otherwordly powers. So far....nothing -_-.

Anyway, thanks :D!

[bradzboy]
