@nycbassist76 Most djent bands are just labled progessive metal, but have djent written on their albums so that people knwo they use that sound alot in their rythms, id hardly call it a subgenre because most djents bands i listen to sound completely different.
@inthedesert69 I didn't present an argument so I'm confused. Secondly, since when is ok a bad thing? They have some really good songs. Sorry if I don't think they are the greatest band ever. BCRich...what about it...huh? Should I only play slayer on it?
I don't understand why so many people hate B.C. Rich guitars.. I think their guitars are great. I own Mockingbird and a gunslinger. They are both amazing guitars. Great value for the money. I know people gonna hate me for it. But I like my Mockingbird even more than my Gibson Les Paul Custom.
@jon3266 I wouldn't suggest telling someone to listen to "real" Djent and then suggest Volumes. "Real" djent involves bands like Periphery, Tesseract, and Animals As Leaders, not trendy Groovecore bands like Volumes that happen to incorporate some djent elements, As well, for those harping about his Jackson, who the hell said guitarists were restricted from using Jackson's when playing this type of music? Go follow another trend and shut the fuck up.
@Shredzilla57 my son wrote that...he has been told, that if he's going to be rude on the internet to do so on his account. as far as your last statement. perhaps you and i should discuss that face to face.
@jon3266 This guy knows what djent is, hes only going over the rhythm parts, not using chord technicality. Sorry you don't seem to understand what the word syncopation means. And Volumes seems to be the "hardcore" group out of the djent bands, and not alot of djent fans really like Volumes.
@goodnamepending i know very well what syncopation is. my son wrote whatever shit it is your referring to. he has been advised to post from his own account.
@jon3266 How bout listen to Meshuggah if you wanna know what "djent" is. Considering they are the only "Real" djent band to this day. I like Volumes. But they are progressive metal at the end of the day. Not djent.
@WarmothGuitarist Hahaha. EXACTLY! Ugh. I'm so sick of the Misha cock suckers out there that think he fucking invented "djent" and the whole "genre" (their terms not mine) and it makes me sick. I'm a Meshuggah fan since 98. There's only imitation NEVER duplication when it comes to Meshuggah. Plain and simple. If you want a REAL guitar tone Meshuggah owns it. If you want a fake, awful ass guitar tone with a GIRLY lead singer check out Periphery! Only men who like men listen to Periphery.
@jdmimport13 Periphery's version of "djent" sounds like fingernails-down-a-chalkboard to me. And while I'm not a huge Meshuggah fan, I can always appreciate an innovative band or artist such as them.
I'm still stuck in my early 90's Soundgarden, AIC, and Tool. Six strings and nothing really lower than Drop D for me. But that doesn't mean music shouldn't move on and progress because a few of us like me are stuck in an era.
@WarmothGuitarist Im a 90's kid too so I understand completely. 90's, the best decade ever! Best music, clothing and tv shows. Fuck I really miss the 90's.
@jdmimport13 The 90's were just simple. The bands put as much thought into their metaphorical lyrics as they did into the music they created to drive those lyrics. Most bands would go on stage dressed the same way as they would if they were going to the store. There was a real connection between the bands and their fans because they actually seemed like humans, instead of spandex and make-up wearing cartoon characters like in the 80's. And "alternative" was such a diverse genre.
@WarmothGuitarist Depended on which bands you listened to... some of that poppy culture from the 80s persisted, and you can still find it in today's culture. The difference was one of the trends in the 90s was simplicity. Now we're all always trying to convince people things we do aren't simple.
@BuyMeAKoala --- I TOTALLY agree .. come on, it is like every new band coming out wants to create its own genre style/name/classification. I say dont go much beyond the genre classifications in the CD's at say ... Best Buy.
thats what its called ahah ive been writing out different note values and permutating them every which way i could think and just didnt know how to search up a lesson on this and welll ...you helped me solve that puzzle aha
@yoimer06 I don't agree that Djent 'must' be played in drop tuning. You can get a 'djent' sound even in drop D dude! Us fans do like to hear it in drop A and lower but just because he is in drop C doesn't make this not djent! Silly kid
Don't know how this hasn't been said, but this isn't djent at all. Not that it's a bad lesson. But most "Djent" is played in tuning much lower than Drop C. Typically you'll find that Drop G# and Drop G on a 7 string is the most common tuning for bands that play djent. Also, djent is not all open note riffing. Look up bands like Monuments, Fellsilent, and Vildhjarta to get a better idea.
@yoimer06 It has been said, to the point of nausea. This is a rhythm and syncopation lesson. Djent is a buzz word, read between the lines. It (open chord or whatever) can be played in whatever detuning you like. I just happened to pick up that guitar, besides half of Periphery's album is in Drop C. Those are some good band you named. Thanks!!
@yoimer06 Fuck you; define djent, you fuck. Sounds like Meshuggah's style to me. Or, did you forget what djent actually is? That's right; it's a fucking onomatopoeia.
@Deraek Haha, no need to get all butthurt on the internet now. I know what djent is. Style and an onomatopoeia are two different things. "Djent" is the sound you get when you play more than two strings (typically 3-4 like Meshuggah "invented") on your barred power chords on a drop tuning.
@yoimer06 Nothing just said served to further this discussion. Anybody who plays djent knows everything you just said. The fact that I just said that it was an onomatopoeia indicates that I know that. My point is that the only completely agreed on definition is ov the onomatopoeia. Keep your opinions to yourself about what defines musical /micro/ genres, OR THE INTERNET WILL STRIKE AGAIN!
@yoimer06 you sir are narrow minded.. seems you just named those bands so you look cool.. i hate posers.. the video was a lesson on djent regardless of the tuning and yes, Periphery has drop C songs too and they are a kickass djent band.. so stop acting like a know it all guy.. open your mind to these ideas..
@PreedyM2k Djent tone did not come first it was the style which now evolved into the tone that everyone is so boner for it was always the syncopated strange rhythm that started it not the tone.tone is nowadays
@PreedyM2k and if you got this info from the urban dictionary its wrong cause it also says djent has no rhythm(and you need to learn the odd rhythm in the god damn first place to even play Djent)
@yoimer06 Djent is not a tuning, it's not a frequency set, and it has nothing to do with open note riffing or not. It's palm-muting a power chord with a 4th fret on a 7-string guitar where the 4th fret is a 5th of the chord. Meshuggah is heavily inspired by Pantera for their palm-muting sound, which is a heavy strum with a high equalizer limiter. Dimebag Darrell popularized it on Vulgar Display of Power. He described the technique way back in the day in a magazine interview.
@dhinge It's not that either. It's literally an onomatopoeia invented by Jens Kidman to describe their sound. If the sound makes a blatant JUNT JUNT noise, it's djent. I can play djent on an acoustic, hence your business of high equalizers is untrue.
Thanks for the lesson. It helps a lot. Would you let me know which gauge of strings you use? Are you using baritone strings? When I tune down my normal 6 string guitar to drop C, tension's too little.
When I was watching you I got the vision of you being like a proper death metal guy when you were younger with corpse-paint and everything else then you settled down with a family and you still rock out in your room...let me know if I'm on the right track haha its awesome keep at it! (:
nice lesson man. Probably the one I have applyed most to my one playing at the moment. i normally play everything I make in drop C# because It applyes best to our singers voice, and i reallt like the opputuneties you have in the drop tuning.
@WeveGotNoTimeToLose@EnslaveTheEmos Alright guys enough, everyone gets it. Egos and Opinons will not make you a better guitarist. I dislike 'trends' just as much as the next guy but things trend for a reason. Anything said other than the sound of your guitar is irrelevant. Let's not forget we are all here for the same thing. Opinions and Egos are only stumbling blocks. I have other videos you can argue about :)
@axeofcreation Terribly sorry man, didn't intend to keep responding buttt I did soo, now you can just remove all those comments so that no one else gets so horribly offended by my opinion, who will later claim my opinion has no merit, so why'd the twit even bother, anyways like I said no offense to you. If you'd be so kind as to leave my last comment though because it's terribly funny don't you think? You don't have to answer that, keep doing great man!
@MrVeilofOsiris Periphery is djent, and songs such as All New Materials and Jetpacks Was Yes! are in drop C, so go check your sources before saying s***
im really not trying to be condescending or anything but you said the snare hits are on 2 and 4 but when you demonstrate the klave rhythm the snare hits are on the 2 and the and of 4. other than that nice vid
@pinkfloydicus Kudos for giving respectful constructive criticism and not being a total dick like 99.9999999% of people who write anything at all in youtube comments.
And I know the low string chords are what give it the chunk, but why is everyone so hip to hop on the bandwagon, I'd rather use my other 4 strings than acknowledge music as a 2 string open note sanctum, n didn't Fredrick from messhuggah say that you're supposed to use 4 string chords? Once again I'm not referring to the uploader, but to the multitudes of twits who praise 2 string guitarists. New trend soon dead.
@WeveGotNoTimeToLose Well said. I appreciate your tackful and thoughtful response. And I couldn't agree with you more. I've been playing complex prog metal for years and however clever the term is it's usage had become obnoxious. My primary focus is a rhythm lesson. Regardless of the term, the bands that do it best pull off a lot of rhythmically interesting things. A lot of players have trouble with basic counting which why I started here (and also why I wasn't concerned with extended chords).
It just bothers me that kids can identify this shit as music, when most " djent" is one note chugging on a truly simple pattern with slightly tricky signatures, but the guitarist who actually use crazy patterns hitting more than 4 notes on a polyrhythm actually writing music don't get credit. No offense to the uploader, great stuff, you have a true understanding and I'm sure you agree, :56 focus more on the rhythm then technicality, he said it himself, the twits just write the same stuff.
not everyone goes around listening to songs to break down their musical genius, hence how genres like rap and hip hop can exist, they just like the sound.
ive also never seen a djent band hailed for their musical ability other than people who can play bleed for 8 minutes without their arm falling off, so i dont get why you are upset about it.
i think your just mad those 2 stringers sell more albums than you.
@WeveGotNoTimeToLose yup, by adding my opinion i am now mad, i see. i respond to a 3 post rant that judges how other people play guitar, and im the mad one for offering simple input.
i say 2 string chugging is the only way to achieve the 2 string chugging sound, which some people enjoy, and for it i am the mad one.
@EnslaveTheEmos Give your opinion about the video, not about my opinion, how dumb is that you don't even care about the vid you'd rather argue with someone about their own opinion, and my logic as bad as my playing? How about I don't care to be a tryhard and 'win' arguments online like I've got something to prove, keep listening to A7x and posting hate comments all over youtube, oh and check out my channel!
@EnslaveTheEmos No you shouldn't and you should have shut the fuck up when you first got the stupid idea to reply, you're saying you don't argue and here you are STILL posting still trying to validate your stupid ass opinion, no one cares and I'm sure no one wants to read this so shut the fuck up and stop, you're not proving anything sitting here arguing other than you suck at arguing.
@WeveGotNoTimeToLose im not validating a position, im mocking you and your sensitivity and your instant rage on the internet. i enjoy being entertained at the cost of your time responding to blatant mockery.
also if you go making comments on my videos trying to somehow make points you are creating an argument, as you created this "argument" so you should probably stop saying the who arguments are stupid thing, hence why its so easy to mock you and get you so upset.
@EnslaveTheEmos Yep, blah blah blah blah blah, you should really go practice. Or get a better hobby, you've posted tons of hate comments that show on your feed of vids you've watched so who's really the babbling bitch shitface, now pretty please with your mothers entrails on top, give your opinion somewhere else tryhard emo girl.
@EnslaveTheEmos Hahaha so because I post my opinion, not a hate comment like you keep labeling it, that makes me a compulsive whiny bitch like you? Your logic is about as good as your playing, go practice chump, but for shits and giggles, why is it that the person who uploaded this vid wasn't as insulted or provoked as you? Why do YOU feel so offended, seems like no one else has taken it quite as far up the ass as you have, so tell me emo girl, why? Wait hold on, don't.
@WeveGotNoTimeToLose going to a djent video and labeling djent and a style of playing as a skill less trend of a genre taking no musical ability, then saying you hate trends, is called seeking out videos to make hate comments.
the poster of the video has a reputation, this channel is part of his business, so of course he wont respond negatively.
and im not offended, as you like to keep saying. im having fun making a mockery of you. i responded with my opinion before and you raged out at it.
@EnslaveTheEmos No it's because he's not a fucking idiot like you, lastly I'll state this fact that you still can't grasp, because it's really amusing how you think you're escaping any sort of negativity, what's in your name?? Emos right? Emo was a trend you dumb fuck, just like djent is, so while you're here not making any sense your name is a monument to your own stupidity, thanks, ttyl.
@WeveGotNoTimeToLose this page is part of a business, he does online lessons at his site by the same name. i wouldn't laugh at egotistical morons like you on my business related pages either.
my name makes a joke of emos, and its not a trend. that would imply it came and went.
you are too fun to play with, i need to put all your comments into a word document to save them before they get deleted.
Thanks a lot for the video. Big fan of Axe of Creation. I don't suppose you know if the parameters in this video are covered in Gibson's Learn and Master the Guitar? Thanks, and have a great day.

nice lesson man. Probably the one I have applyed most to my one playing at the moment. i normally play everything I make in drop C# because It applyes best to our singers voice, and i reallt like the opputuneties you have in the drop tuning.
thanks for the lesson and keep rockin'. - Bjarke

@bjarkemp Thanks so much! Learning how to attack and manipulate any beat really opens your writing. Best of luck!

@WeveGotNoTimeToLose @EnslaveTheEmos Alright guys enough, everyone gets it. Egos and Opinons will not make you a better guitarist. I dislike 'trends' just as much as the next guy but things trend for a reason. Anything said other than the sound of your guitar is irrelevant. Let's not forget we are all here for the same thing. Opinions and Egos are only stumbling blocks. I have other videos you can argue about :)

@axeofcreation Terribly sorry man, didn't intend to keep responding buttt I did soo, now you can just remove all those comments so that no one else gets so horribly offended by my opinion, who will later claim my opinion has no merit, so why'd the twit even bother, anyways like I said no offense to you. If you'd be so kind as to leave my last comment though because it's terribly funny don't you think? You don't have to answer that, keep doing great man!

And I know the low string chords are what give it the chunk, but why is everyone so hip to hop on the bandwagon, I'd rather use my other 4 strings than acknowledge music as a 2 string open note sanctum, n didn't Fredrick from messhuggah say that you're supposed to use 4 string chords? Once again I'm not referring to the uploader, but to the multitudes of twits who praise 2 string guitarists. New trend soon dead.
WeveGotNoTimeToLose 3 months ago
@WeveGotNoTimeToLose Well said. I appreciate your tackful and thoughtful response. And I couldn't agree with you more. I've been playing complex prog metal for years and however clever the term is it's usage had become obnoxious. My primary focus is a rhythm lesson. Regardless of the term, the bands that do it best pull off a lot of rhythmically interesting things. A lot of players have trouble with basic counting which why I started here (and also why I wasn't concerned with extended chords).

@WeveGotNoTimeToLose I begin to discuss some more complicated ways to use this style in Part II. Hopefully you have the time to check it out.
axeofcreation 3 months ago
It just bothers me that kids can identify this shit as music, when most " djent" is one note chugging on a truly simple pattern with slightly tricky signatures, but the guitarist who actually use crazy patterns hitting more than 4 notes on a polyrhythm actually writing music don't get credit. No offense to the uploader, great stuff, you have a true understanding and I'm sure you agree, :56 focus more on the rhythm then technicality, he said it himself, the twits just write the same stuff.
WeveGotNoTimeToLose 3 months ago
@WeveGotNoTimeToLose did you ever think maybe some people just like the sound?
not everyone goes around listening to songs to break down their musical genius, hence how genres like rap and hip hop can exist, they just like the sound.
ive also never seen a djent band hailed for their musical ability other than people who can play bleed for 8 minutes without their arm falling off, so i dont get why you are upset about it.
i think your just mad those 2 stringers sell more albums than you.

@EnslaveTheEmos You sound more mad than me Emo girl, keep arguing with people who have an opinion.
WeveGotNoTimeToLose 2 months ago
@WeveGotNoTimeToLose yup, by adding my opinion i am now mad, i see. i respond to a 3 post rant that judges how other people play guitar, and im the mad one for offering simple input.
i say 2 string chugging is the only way to achieve the 2 string chugging sound, which some people enjoy, and for it i am the mad one.
your logic seems as bad as your playing.
EnslaveTheEmos 2 months ago
@EnslaveTheEmos Give your opinion about the video, not about my opinion, how dumb is that you don't even care about the vid you'd rather argue with someone about their own opinion, and my logic as bad as my playing? How about I don't care to be a tryhard and 'win' arguments online like I've got something to prove, keep listening to A7x and posting hate comments all over youtube, oh and check out my channel!

@WeveGotNoTimeToLose you made it an argument, and then you say you dont do online arguments. Great Job!
you post the only hate comment here, then complain about hate comments.
Great Job!
you ask how anyone could enjoy this, i tell you why, then you complain that i gave my opinion on your opinion as if thats wrong in some way.
Great Job!
spend 3 comments assaulting another genres musical technique, then says he has nothing to prove.
Great Job!

EnslaveTheEmos 2 months ago
@EnslaveTheEmos No you shouldn't and you should have shut the fuck up when you first got the stupid idea to reply, you're saying you don't argue and here you are STILL posting still trying to validate your stupid ass opinion, no one cares and I'm sure no one wants to read this so shut the fuck up and stop, you're not proving anything sitting here arguing other than you suck at arguing.
WeveGotNoTimeToLose 2 months ago
@WeveGotNoTimeToLose im not validating a position, im mocking you and your sensitivity and your instant rage on the internet. i enjoy being entertained at the cost of your time responding to blatant mockery.
also if you go making comments on my videos trying to somehow make points you are creating an argument, as you created this "argument" so you should probably stop saying the who arguments are stupid thing, hence why its so easy to mock you and get you so upset.
great job... .

@EnslaveTheEmos Yep, blah blah blah blah blah, you should really go practice.

@EnslaveTheEmos Hahaha so because I post my opinion, not a hate comment like you keep labeling it, that makes me a compulsive whiny bitch like you? Your logic is about as good as your playing, go practice chump, but for shits and giggles, why is it that the person who uploaded this vid wasn't as insulted or provoked as you? Why do YOU feel so offended, seems like no one else has taken it quite as far up the ass as you have, so tell me emo girl, why? Wait hold on, don't.
WeveGotNoTimeToLose 2 months ago
@WeveGotNoTimeToLose going to a djent video and labeling djent and a style of playing as a skill less trend of a genre taking no musical ability, then saying you hate trends, is called seeking out videos to make hate comments.
the poster of the video has a reputation, this channel is part of his business, so of course he wont respond negatively.
and im not offended, as you like to keep saying. im having fun making a mockery of you. i responded with my opinion before and you raged out at it.
EnslaveTheEmos 2 months ago
@EnslaveTheEmos No it's because he's not a fucking idiot like you, lastly I'll state this fact that you still can't grasp, because it's really amusing how you think you're escaping any sort of negativity, what's in your name?? Emos right? Emo was a trend you dumb fuck, just like djent is, so while you're here not making any sense your name is a monument to your own stupidity, thanks, ttyl.
