The more i hear down tuned guitars i really learn to realise its the player and how the riff is played that makes it heavy af and not so much the tuning. But of course everything this champion plays sounds evil and heavy 😍
I choose to believe that Nik already knows how to play all the songs in this series and every time he thinks of a new tuning he already has a plethora of songs spewing from his mind to his djent stick.
Nik, I just heard the new Currents single premiere and..... jesus fucking christ. I'm not okay. Heaviest shit they've ever done, by far. It drops on all platforms Friday ;)
Nik Nocturnal I’ve found Cannibal Corpse to be one of the very few bands that actually use G# standard, in fact that’s the main reason I use that tuning sometimes.
Alright, Cannibal Corpse was on your list. I won’t imagine myself chucking a tomato at the back side of your head through this screen to express my disappointment in your G# standard riff picks.
Hazard JT it’s probably because he didn’t want to abuse the tuning in his Jason Richardson guitar due to the fact that it’s a borrow guitar. But this could be one of the last times you’ll see a Schecter at all once he gets a 7 string music man to keep
@Undercoverbus Exactly this. There is a reason bands like Northlane opt for a 27 inch scale length when they go as low F# standard and even drop E sometimes.
Technically drop e, a bass us tuned an octave lower than guitar, lets say the guitar is in e standard the bass will be an octave lower, if you tune to drop e standard then you are the bass
ch headstrong Yup. It’s why our boy Tosin doesn’t need a bassist. Mainly Drop E on an eight string, with some other occasional craziness that AAL brings to the table.
Not me tuning my guitar into c# standard but for a 7 string (ie g#), then searching for nik nocturnal vids to learn some songs, and finding out it's not a common tuning. Reee
Bought a cheap jackson dinky just to experiement with something like G# standard. Not disappointed. However I'm looking at longer scale guitars. 27 and up preferably.
While I understand not wanting to drown the video in Cannibal Corpse, Scourge of Iron is their heaviest riff in my opinion. That chugging and weird chord slide is so heavy, it should be illegal.
