an octave lower than drop c

[DiscoverGuitarOnline]

Very Impressive! 

[breeetalHeadbanger]

I like it !! =D

[SwirlyBrokenHearts]

proof the top comment is B.S snurl(dot)com/21mk242 i know you cant post links, but normal drop C is C2, the one demonstrated here is C1. C-0 is pretty hard to achieve but not impossible, it DOES exist and is NOT a "fart" search for contrabass, that's the proper term, or 9 + string bass they are used. everything below C1 is a zero then double zero but i agree that would be inaudiable. i.e B0 A0 G0 etc. the warwick vampyre darklord bass goes to f#0. get educated people.

Icarus died!

[samenjonas]

Well this was horrible.

[FugalBaboon]

Everyone I see sucks at playing that periphery riff.

[BeDjentleAZ]

That's just superfluous and fuckin stupid. This is what'a wrong with music. Even if you only use those strings for breakdowns then when they finally get used, the distortion (which you can't just bypass for 2 strings) is gonna make your sound muddy and indecipherable. Congratulations, you just ruined that guitar until the day you replace all the strings with a .010-.074 set in F#-Standard. Or B-Standard with a high A as it was intended.

[JonathanAmaralMusic]

@BeDjentleAZ Get off your high horse dude, No one's ever invented rules for music. Sure this guy isn't putting it this tuning to use properly, but there's never been rules for music. I just set up my 7 string with GDGCFAD and my tech made sure I was serious when I was completely sure of what I was doing, There is no "correct" tuning. Only a standard that anyone who is afraid to experiment can stick to. GDGCFAD isn't the tuning I'm going to stick with but if I feel like experimenting I can.

[BeDjentleAZ]

@JonathanAmaralMusic I agree there are no rules for music or "correct" tunings but there are stupid tunings, stupid exeriments and stupid ideas. This was all three. And it's not a high horse just because I'm above you.

[JonathanAmaralMusic]

@BeDjentleAZ

Says the guy with no display of their music, and the fact that he has "Djent" in his username. You're not above anyone, not even the shit kids that walk into Guitar Center to wank and show off a new scale they learned.

Glad we agree though.

[BeDjentleAZ]

@JonathanAmaralMusic oh believe me im above you ;) and this guy in the video and 90% of all the bands on KUPD

[JonathanAmaralMusic]

@BeDjentleAZ Lets see some work then kid, prove me wrong. Cause I'm sure as hell not taking your word for it punk.

[JessyUV]

Nickel isn't the bright option. Stainless steel is.

[mpattp]

imagine this on a bass o.O

[CoreyFaith1991]

That is freaking amazing!!!!!

[DemonLlama25]

that would sounds crazy for some jazz or even classical

[NoaOno]

You have a good tone, so now go learn how to play the guitar.

[shaterproofblosm]

bullshit, nice idea but learn how to play.

[TheFaceSoap]

C5, C4, and C3 were all actually B4, B3, and B2, I can tune by ear so I do know what I'm talking about, sorry if I seem like a douche haha.

[bronzehydra3]

Oh god, that was a horrible rendition of Icarus Lives!

Its not even in C, its in Ab.

[ChromiumSilver]

Fail..... 

[bamf6396]

you could just save yourself from wrecking the nut and buy an octave pedal, or digtech whammy

[darkxXxtoto]

oh no you played periphery like if I was bulb I just wanted to kill you man ...

But maybe your weird idea with this string is not that bad I personally think that people are a bit narrow minded ...

[dachachamonk]

jesus! that string is like thicker than my leg!

[mikeyFear0n]

Periphery!

[izaakito]

siempr ekise hacer eso de hecho si es otra octava mas abajo ke do porke por ejemplo del nuevo disco de whitechapel es MI LA SI.... como tu tiene tu lira es DO, SOL DO.... y si necesitas para esas frecuencias y cotavas ese calibre, si d epo rsi cuando afinas en mi en una d e8 usan 80! ...

[andremamola810]

that icarus lives sonded terrible bulb would be pissed

[fingersuvfireNfury]

u got some meat for me? cuz ur definately a butcher. Plz stop.

[Justinjale]

@fingersuvfireNfury haters gonna hate. you guys have to realize that the low c is mostly for the low chunking sound as a rhythm in breakdowns. it's kinda useless to have to 2 guitars playing the same exact thing, so i just match my other guitarist on a lower octave for breakdowns.

[Strawinsko]

@Justinjale

how about getting a bass player to do that? just thinking..

[Veneteaou]

@Justinjale In the absence of a bass player a lower rhythm sound is okay. The big problem you are going to have is with the quality of sound. You are basically playing a half-bass half-guitar hybrid, but basses sound like garbage through guitar amps and guitars sound like garbage through bass amps.

[midgitmanxx]

Why do you have it in drop c twice?

[Justinjale]

@midgitmanxx because i wanted to have a very extended range. it's still drop c, but it's in another octave. having a 2nd drop c allows me to just imitate the shapes i played up top, but in a lower octave. also, the string is really damn thick and not meant for my machine head, so tuning it higher may break the guitar.

[midgitmanxx]

@Justinjale Makes sense.

[Gunslinger956]

when you started playing that first riff it sounded like a fucked motorbike lol

[LessthanJake14]

That's not C0. Normal drop C is C3, that's C2.

C0 is just a fart.

[xPELICANx]

@LessthanJake14 I'm sorry, but that's incorrect. Normal Drop C is actually C2 and he is playing C1. C1 is 32.70 hz, which is a bass tuned to Drop C.

[SwirlyBrokenHearts]

@LessthanJake14 thats not C0 Normal drop C is "C2", The one hes using is C1 (three notes above lowest on grand piano), C0 is 9 flats below the lowest note on a piano (a0 @ 27.5 hz) and it doesnt sound like a fart. if you have the right setup you can go as low as you want. the only limits are imposed by guitar and bass building companies because they know customers are happy with certain aspects like short scales @ 26 inch. if you build your own, super low notes can sound good on extra long scale

[gxlxs]

@SwirlyBrokenHearts 27.5Hz is a-1 not a0

[SwirlyBrokenHearts]

@gxlxs learn something before TRYING to state facts, go fcking look at a piano pitch sheet and prove me wrong. it IS 3 semitones (sharps) above the lowest note on traditional grand piano. 27.5 IS A-0 (the same note on "drop a bass guitar") otherwise it would be a "fart" but its not. i can hear the bottom notes quite easy. go look at a piano pitch diagram on google.

[DemonLlama25]

@LessthanJake14 no it is c1, c2 is two steps down from the low e on guitar

[andrewizz]

@LessthanJake14 If you take central C on piano (2º string, 1º fret on guitar) as a C3 (like many people do), Drop C have a C1, and Drop C on bass or this guitar would be a C0. But other people take central C as a C4 or even C5, like you are doing. Just different systems.

[SwirlyBrokenHearts]

my acoustic is 25.5 and my other ibanez smae length, not much good for drop tuning

[Justinjale]

@SwirlyBrokenHearts i think mine is only 26

[Justinjale]

@SwirlyBrokenHearts i think mine is only 26

[SwirlyBrokenHearts]

i dont own an 8 string as much as i want one but i did get drop C on my acoustic, extremely floppy though but when hit softly i could still hear how heavy it is, you should really look into baritone if you are gonna go that low, personally i dont think 30" is long enough maybe 32" or 33" would mean you could use a .90 and have it tight but youd need fan fret as well cus the other strings would need adjusting smaller, sounds good but looks odd, try soulmate necks the guy does custom necks to spec

[treeunit212]

This is past the point where you can't even hear the not you're playing.

Useless tuning, imo.

[thygod]

@treeunit212 Clean your ears or something. The notes are plenty audible and distinguishable.

[mofokitten]

you should get a 30" scale guitar for that. you can do it without ridiculous strings then :P

i go down to D for "supah-low" parts myself, and having a 30" scale definitely makes it work :)

[Justinjale]

@mofokitten so jealous! what do you have? an agile?

[mofokitten]

@Justinjale

i had an agile 30" intrepid, yeah (check my profile, i did a review and demo video of in insane tunings!)

i now have a 28"-25" fanned fret 8 string and a 30" 6 string baritone :)

[Justinjale]

@mofokitten those fanned fret guitars look confusing. yeah, i just looked at your agile demo, and it the 8th string sounds so crisp!

[abysslord16]

no offense but this is fucking retarded.

[CadPCrayon]

Love that sound. Low and gritty!

[MrCookeeh]

Nice one playing Periphery man!

[comaxpilot]

yea.....sounds awesome....

[VhMetalx]

That actually sounds badass. Wish i woulda had this on my rga8 when i played live that one time... Woulds been legit.

And nice icarus lives! lol.
