anything on or after countdown sounds great because the megadeth sound has been very percussive since then, and drop a riffs tend to be percussive in nature so these tend to fit in very well
You can get by playing most thrash down to MAYBE as low as B, but D is the sweet-spot between boom and clarity. You have to write music differently to a tuning this low.
What I find weird about these is that usually if you go down just a bit from the original recording it makes it a bit easier to sing the song for people that can't hit some of the high notes. But when you go this low you still sing it high like the original hahaha. I love the sound. I'd love to hear one of the real bands try this. Either live or in a studio rerecording of a classic track.
Awesome job on both this video and the metallica one. Big fan of both bands! I am trying to chose my first 7-string guitar and I am REALLY stuck between this HELLRAISER C-7 and the new Schecter Jeff-Loomis JL-7, with those Seymour Duncans JF. Any advice to help me? TYVM!
Hey man, glad to hear that you like my videos. I have never tried Jeff Loomis JL-7, but I've tried my friend's 7 string PRS, so I can tell you what I like and what I don't like about my Hellraiser. The Hellraiser has a 26.5" neck, which is 1.5" longer than the PRS. It doesn't seem much, but I found the PRS more comfortable to play. It just felt like a normal guitar with an extra string, while my Hellraiser feels more like a baritone guitar. You can get used to it quite quickly, but everytime I switch to a shorter scale length everything is just easier to do. The second thing I don't like about that guitar are the pickups. EMG 707TW are great for soloing since they sound really smooth, but for rhythm playing they feel kinda lifeless. They are just too compressed and lack some clarity. When I hit my another guitar with passive Seymour Duncans hard I just feel the juice coming out of the guitar, while on the EMGs it sounds almost the same no matter how hard I hit the strings. Because of that the faster alternate picking stuff tend to get a little bit muddy with less articulate attack. On the recordings it doesn't matter that much, it's more about the feeling when you play them. Just try them both and you will see which feels and sounds better to you. That's the only thing that matters. If I were choosing my seven string right now, I would probably try Keith Merrow KM-7 Trans Black Satin. It looks really beautiful and have passive Seymour Duncans.
My video player is broken.......oh wait... it's just a black thing in the corner of the video... ooooh ok... so I'm just retarded then... great... xD Nice video man! \m/ ^^
Devil's Island in Drop A is literally The Devil in I.
@@Vulkanzed-117 it's drop A
I think better say "The Devil in A"
The bass tone is killer on these.
Ibanez Soundgear man, got one myself .. Gnarly for recording at home.
Megadjent
Pepe loco Djoooont
Pepe loco Djoooont!
Whoa, I can't believe how dull the very beginning of 'Holy wars' sounded.
makaska5 the main riff sounded killer though
Megadeth is a mudfest this low. His A sounds tight though. Must be an extended scale.
Just proves, its not the tuning but the talent. These riffs are every bit as heavy in E. Great video!
Downtuned Head Crusher sounds like a Machine Head song., while Endgame sounds like Crowbar.
Neigh Slayer sounds like I would like crowbar
Definitely
iron maiden would be so much different try that lol. it would be on the total opposite spectrum of metal lol
Dude, Devil's Island! Put some organ on there and you have a proper black metal riff haha!
Downtuned "Symphony Of Destruction" sounds like Arch Enemy's cover
I think they play in C standard or #C standard
anything on or after countdown sounds great because the megadeth sound has been very percussive since then, and drop a riffs tend to be percussive in nature so these tend to fit in very well
awesome man!
try black sabbath, iron maiden or motorhead
I think megadeth soung good until D standard tuning, anything lower, to me, sounds too sloppy and absurd xd
How about Slayer in the next video?

Diabolus and repentless have entered the chat.
The bass line I Symphony made me lose control of my bowels for just a second. 1 second too many.

I would have done Ashes In Your Mouth over Youthinasia, but I loved it regardless!
Tornado of Souls didn't sound too different though.
Does anyone noticed, that Devil's Island sounds similar to Slipknot's "The Devil In I"?
Dmitriy Royal dayum :0
SLIPKNOT FUCKING SUCKS
Peace sells.. I was still skeptical. Symphony, now I'm more on board. By darkest hour: fuck yeah!
pantera!
Great choices ...well done!
You deserve so many more subscribers
do meshuggah riffs tuned lower than they already are
here's what you need
8 or 9 string guitar
dr drop down tuning strings
your all set!
TheKidMusician In Drop-Drop A. Drop A but one octave lower xD
What do you think guys? Which band's riffs do you like better downtuned? Metallica or Megadeth?
i liked metallica in drop a better tho megadeth was pretty good. next on your list can be slayer
Megadeth is more suited for downtuning a
Well just like without the downtuning, Metallica's better.
megadeth.
Metallica is just shit, no matter what the tuning.
Arch Enemy also covers Symphony Of Destruction in A

I love the sound. I'd love to hear one of the real bands try this. Either live or in a studio rerecording of a classic track.
If you tune all the strings down to A1 E2 A2 D3 G3 B3 E4, I’m pretty sure it’s called drop A standard tuning.
drop a tuning*
That's sick
Great job man!
So this is what Hell is like
Casting my vote to do an Iron Maiden medly in Drop A because... I'm not even sure how the hell that would sound.
the riffs of megadeth are so much better downtuned than the riffs of metallica
1990 wants your comment back
i will be your 778 subscriber
Sounds like old Korn
Killer!
Wake Up Dead sounds so brutal.
Original high tone makes voices and guitars way more emotional.
Standard tuning is better. But this was very cool.
Tornado is fucking outstanding.
Devils island sounds an awful lot like Devil in I by slipknot in this tuning
Should've done Blackmail The Universe
Do more of these!
please
yes i asked and i received
Wake up dead Is soooo good !!!
This is how Slipknot plays Megadeth songs

Tiago Ferrari id recommend the KM-7 FR S in green. Comes with sustaniac and seymour Duncan Nazgul, sounds godly
Lamb Of God in Drop G. fucking dooo it!! Lmao
That fuarking tone my god dude
Excellent Job!
Are you playing the drums as well, or where do you find the MIDI for the cover songs?
Amps for Buddha No, I transcribed them and used VST instrument.
Damn good job on that as well. The drums sound spot on.
Thanks man! Glad you liked it!
Holy Wars in drop A, killer tone. Better to have a headphone and experience the sound. Can't figure when Dave use this tuning on his Dean VMNT
Someone should start a death metal band using all these riffs and it could say ...loosely based on the music of megadeth. 🤘🏻♠️🤘🏻
Locking tuners and locking nut bro
The Megadeth riffs definitely sounded better.
James Nelson A good riff sounds good no matter what the tuning. So I agree
I think it would sound way better in the natural B tuning. And using my guitar (in my avi) :P
Devil's Island sounds awesome
that’s definitely something i will never ever do to a guitar
Head Crusher sounds better in drop a
can you do some iron maiden?
On holy wars you all the notes on the intro sound the same except for the chords
Who needs bass anymore??
I want to hit like but it’s at 666 likes. I don’t wanna ruin that
same distortion effect but lower tunning ?
Megadeath gone deathmetal.
My video player is broken.......oh wait... it's just a black thing in the corner of the video... ooooh ok... so I'm just retarded then... great... xD Nice video man! \m/ ^^
Fukin DROP A
The originals are so much better! Cool video, shows just how good standard tuning can be, no need for this 7-string drop A bullshit
PSYCHOTRON???
its sounds more heavy and bad ass in E LOL
Its a Lil bit slipknot
original tuning is heavier
Aw man no mechanix really?
oh man , just the picture of the transposing gives me nausea ... great work and tone too
This is Killer\mm/
Much better from metallica
So Djent.
no
Keep on practicing with a metronome. The verse of Peace Sells was really not jiving.
Headcrusher is already in drop A due to Dave's deteriorated voice
God Holy Wars sounds awful in Drop A
In my opinion downtuned sounds stupid and not heavy at all.
Sounds terrible... standard is way better
no, just no
It sucks.
