Its basically the "For whom the bell tolls" riff by Metallica!! LOL funny, He says "lamb of god, pantera" LOL ... wow.

@axeofcreation 3 года назад

It's not "basically" For Whom the bell tolls, that song and riff is a completely different harmony. And Yeah, Lamb of God - 11th Hour. Thanks for playing.

@metalriffs6276 3 года назад

@@axeofcreation in your opinion. but it is basically for whom the bell tolls. slight variation only. when i first heard it i thought for sure he was just playing that riff...shocked me when he said what he said. but you do you.

@joshs8344 3 года назад

Love your work as always man... I do have a random question though, what kind of strings do you use? I'm just curious because I've used Heavy Bottom slinkys for a long time and I think that is more of my "Adam Jones Fanboy" thinking and I want to experiment with different gauge strings/brands and whatnot

@axeofcreation 3 года назад

I'm a slinky man myself as well. I tend to usually use 10s, if I know I'll be playing in strictly Drop D, I'll go a little thicker on the low string.

@seanmackay6739 3 года назад

Strength Beyond Strength is between D standard and C# Standard. Dime adjusted his tuner to be a bit flat so other bands in their jam space would stop stealing their riffs. So they’d tune to Standard, Drop D, or D standard, but with the tuner set to 425-430ish instead of 440Hz
