Nice. Just wondering though, can you play standard e power chords in drop c? Say the E power chord? Like, 022, 133, so on? My Schecter Damien Elite Avenger FR was set up for drop c for me so I was just wondering that. Having some old school metal songs in mind.

Thanks. to play standard power chords in Drop tunings shift the note on the 6th string up 2 frets. The "E" power chords that was 022 is now 222, and the "F" is 333

I always thought you could do standard e power chords in drop c. Pantera did all the time.Can you do a drop c rhythm guitar section when you get the chance to? Killer guitar by the way. :)

This is cool. It kinda sounds like a cross between Dethklok and Megadeth.

Finally, a drop C riff that isn't a shitty Metalcore rip off riff.
