Hey guys! Last week, Gojira dropped another new song off their upcoming Fortitude album on us, and you know your Uncle Ben Eller was gonna show you how to play that BOING BOING magic they showed us in Amazonia!!! So in this video, we're gonna explore it riff by tasty riff so you can play along with those French Bois and their New Noise.
What kind of stuff does Gojira do? Why, a lot of their standbys, like simple one string riffs, gallops, harmonics, digitech whammy pedal madness, and more! Grab a guitar, tune it down a whole step (DGCFAD), and follow along!
Gear:
Dunable Cyclops
Bare Knuckle Riff Raff pickups
Airis Parallel Overdrive
REVV Generator 120 MK3
Jim Dunlop picks and strings
What Gojira song do you want to learn next? Let me know in the comments!

My dude, there are two instruments there in the beggining: a berimbau and a berimbau-de-boca. Hope I helped you, from BRAZIL; BLOODY AMAZONIA Edit: links so you guys may check it out Berimbau: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U0BLURpMXus.html Berimbau-de-boca: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GIddHpQgVu0.html I belive there is some inspiration from Sepultura and Joe's time with Cavalera Conspiracy, but who knows...

The boing boing is a Berimbau, a brasilian instrument. Sepultura and Soulfly used it a lot in songs like Ratamahatta and Umbabaraums. That Gojira song sounded “so Cavalera” to me when i listened it for the first time it made me smile. Also with the berimbau there’s a mouth harp. Great lesson, as always. Best from Barcelona.

@thecameronator 3 года назад

Pretty sure that the instrument we hear doing the boing boing riff is a local instrument called berimbau. It's a pretty common instrument in Brazil, most commonly featured in capoeira.

@asherplatts6253 3 года назад

The instrument is called a Berimbau. It's a single string, like fishing line, or a long guitar string, stretched on a bow with a resonator gourd at one end, and the string is struck with a stick. It's used in Capoeria training, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berimbau

@loganmommsen8834 3 года назад

The instrument the intro kinda sounds like a jaw harp, I also think it was what was used in the intro to forest cemetery by tempel.

@0ptriX Год назад

0:30 7:03 - As you speculate later in the video, this first chord is indeed a major dyad instead of a straight power chord, though these only happen on the second 'chorus variation' (i.e. after "greatest miracle"). 0:27 5:32 5:52 - There's a slide between the G5 & A5 power chord ---3-3/5--- rather than ---3-5-- 0:33 5:39 7:05 - Same as previous but A5 slide to B5 -5-5/7

Just to clear up some confusion about the "boing boing" instrument, "Berimbau de Boca" (literally translated as "mouth Berimbau") is just the Brazilian name for the mouth/jaw harp. The original Berimbau is a very different instrument that looks and sounds nothing like a mouth/jaw harp.
