So Cold by Breaking Benjamin Acoustic Version Tips by Jimmy

A bit out of tune, but played correctly. Instruction at the end. To hear one in tune search for my other vid of this song. I also posted it as a video response to this video.

It may sound a little better around 2:00 if you don't hit any of the strings other than your octave. I'm not sure how they do it in to song but typically you just strum those three strings only, and mute the center one. And i thought this song was in drop C? At any rate, you may wanna tune your guitar by ear at least before shooting a video. Maybe invest in a tuner at some point, or a piano or something. Also, your singing is really good from what i can hear. Wish i could sing like that..

@DrowsyWalk I am in full agreement with you. I honestly do not know how in the world my tuning was so off. I admit that I had trouble at times due to my clogged up sinuses hearing proper tones. I purchased a nice tuner since then and hopefully my newer videos do not cause so much noise pollution. I did post a video response to this video with proper tuning so maybe you can check that out and give me your opinion! Thanks for the criticism and the compliments as well!! JJ

Does it sound so tinny because you aren't detuned enough, or do you have to strike the bass and then the power chord? Sounds kinda off to me.

@baadshepherd I was out of tune on this one! I have since posted a video response to this video of me playing it in tune!! Check it out and let me know if it is better!

@LegendsofGH I think it's what is commonly called drop C, but is a little of a misnomer.

so off

[LegendsofGH]

Don't mean to be a dumbass, but I'm sure Breaking Benjamin are in Drop C tuning?

or is that what you were explaining when you said to tune to drop D then all strings drop once.. is that how you get Drop C?
