10 Iconic Drop C# Riffs (with Tabs) 

Today I’ve learned that I’ve been playing them bones and my own summer in the wrong tuning for months

Man that Sevenfold riff didn't look anywhere near as difficult to play as I expected. I guess you could say it's Almost Easy?

The songs that always come to my mind in C# are My Own Summer and Electric Head Part 1 by White Zombie. 50% is pretty good.

Of Mice and Men is such an underrated band. Thanks for including them.

Great selection 👌 My Own Summer would also be the first song on my Drop C# list...

The entirety of the Around the Fur album could be on this list. Banger after banger of tasty fuckin' riffs

It's funny to see SOAD and Paramore using the same tunning

Congrats on avoiding filling this video with the entire hybrid theory album lol

Damn, Of Mice and Men - Second & Sebring! Haven't heard that banger in a minute! Need to go listen to it now!

Unchained by Van Halen is the most iconic for me. I mean, it was 1980. Nobody was doing that, back then.

You can’t talk about great Drop C# riffs without mentioning System of a Down, Daron has so many great riffs on the Mesmerize/Hypnotize albums and BYOB is still one of my absolute favourite from them

I cant hear that Them Bones rift without thinking about all the hours in GTA San Andreas.

Dope as hell!! keep it up man

My main guitar has always stayed in Drop C# cause when I was younger I practiced Almost Easy a lot and I played a lot of Norma Jean songs lol

I never realized how similar the riff in second and Sebring was to Halifax- Sydney!

Very good list!

Damn that rocked hard!

Wasn’t expecting of mice and men🖤

Man every time I hear Them Bones I'm thrown back to Doom

Before I even clicked this video all I could think was Second and Sebring damn well better be on this list. Good taste. Forgot “Sorry You’re Not A Winner” though

C# Db is my drop setting on my Ibanez! Your sound is simply: Killer,! What are you using for your killer sound: Amp? BIAS FX2? ! Where does one get backing tracks for songs like you're using?

awesome!!!!!!!

great vidéo !

Cool 😎😃

great riffs, love my own summer - when you tune down is it just the low E string thats down tuned?

Nice video! I would like to suggest some Qotsa or Royal Blood riffs also played in this tuning

Gah! "Deadbolt" by Thrice is always the first Drop C# riff I think of. 😢

Great job! What is your string gauge?

Keep it up

Was waiting for Mudvayne - Happy?

What is with the hardtail(?) on the Ibanez?

Want some INCREDIBLE heavier drop C# riffs? Check out My Bitter End and their album, The Renovation. Some of the best guitar work I've ever heard personally. I learned Salvage the Structure the other day off this album, and it's for sure the most fun I've had playing a song in a long time. Technical but easy. Enjoy

Idk abt paramore being in Drop C# ?

Paramore can be played in any tuning, what's the point?

Grace - Lamb of God

Hey man, what pickups are you using in this guitar? I have the same one but I don't like the stock pickups. Can't find it in your gear list

How do you get backing drums like that

I only know to play be quiet and drive (far away)

Nice. But I must say that in my opinion, Killswitch Engage were the kings of drop C riffs. Just one after another. Again, just my opinion.

Perry Mason by Ozzy Osbourne?

Dude, what bridge is that on your guitar? I have the same model and I hate the floyd rose on it and want to change it.

Death Angel?

Bruh where is waking the cadaver??

Unchained?

Hearts shape box is drop d.

Unchained by Van Halen was robbed

PLEASE, Can you show un how te get that tone?

No Hall of the Mountain King from Savatage??🥺💔

W A L K

Where is NO MORE TEARS by Ozzy and Zakk? 🤨

Fairly sure a lot of these songs aren't played in drop C by the original artist, but CAN be played in drop C if you want to. These all seem low to my ear. Good covers though man!

Rammstein?🥲

You're missing some notes in them bones

Stick stickly.

Chop Suey is more iconic than BYOB.

one step closer is not accurate forgot thwe chicky chickys

not one Sabbath song !

Hypnotize and Mezmerize Album is all in Drop D. So BYOB is wrong in this list.

thumbs down the trivium riff does not sound right in that tuning and no mudvayne

You can't post drop C# tuning covers without leaving out Collective Soul. You missed Shine and Why pt. 2

Heart shaped box is drop D

Wait, isn't this D flat?

The intro to One Step Closer by Linkin Park definitely has palm muting in it. It is not all played open.

Should've had ghost walking on the list

How you could've skipped "Dogman" by King's X, I'll never know.

Слушал, смотрел, но рифф только у SOADуслышал. У остальных набор звуков

Why does Sabbath keep getting left off ALL these lists? None of these bands would exist without Black Sabbath

Just buy a 7-string at that point

Everything except Nirvana 😒

Skip the Nirvana garbage.

Ibanez guitars have got to be among the ugliest and worst sounding guitars ever constructed
