Discussions with our instructors are just one of the many benefits of becoming a member of JamPlay.such a nice chunky tone.
nice pick guard -- : P
Thanks, got that on three of my guitars.
Wow, as brutal-heavy-groovy as ever, but a little bit tricky to play. Timing the song structure and tuning needs a lot of time for a beginner with a 6 string. Good lesson!
Killer tone! thx. Wifes a big Mushroomhead fan too so she'll be totally into learning this. OMG man, this is the coolest.
Metal Rocks!!
Not sure how to tune to drop C tuning. The song rocks. When he is talking about a sharp C in the beginning that should be an F powerchord on a six string guitar. I tuned my Low E to D but I have no pedal. Doesn't sound good.
What would the tuning be in order to play this song on a six string guitar?
Tune your bottom three stings down to the tuning of the bottom three of a 7 string: low E down to B, A down to E, and D down to A. Leave your top three in standard tuning. You may need heavier gauge strings on the bottom three to do this. Kudos to Hocges for the tip...thanks Dennis!
Hey Jaron, there really isn't a realistic way to tune your low E string to a low B. You could play it in standard and use an octave pedal, or try a drop C tuning. The tabs will be up soon to guys.
yes, can and has been. I've actually tuned my low E down to an A before, keeping the 5th string at A. Octaves of Doom!
yeah, me too. Tom Morello taught me that trick.
au contraire, my dear vince. it can be done.
I should have consulted you guys first, someone gave me some crap info! Thanks for the rebound, been sick for the past few days.
What would you set the octave pedal to?
Wow, I might become a metal fan...what a great song!
WOW! Scene 7 was awesome with the tune track ... who wasn't bobbin a head to that? Fantastic lesson, Gravy - wish more of these lessons would include that last scene with the backing track all the way though.
Unfortunately it would be illegal, or very costly to license, for us to use the original recording for most of the songs our site, it's different in this case because Dave is in the actual band.
Great song! Have you guys seen the music video? It's very cool.
For those of you that haven't: http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=xNGckHZpC7o
