Awesome - thanks for sharing! Love the album, have listened to it loads since it came out. Was hoping to see you guys in Glasgow earlier in the year, but hopefully someday. You stay safe too.
Tasty riff! Got that modern groove metal open string stuff going with that eastern feel. Loving the sound of the Fishmans in that Tele btw BUT there are tons of chord voicings in drop tho not just “a couple” including stuff that isn’t possible in standard.
@@smokehill7912 actually to be fair, i have a SQUIRE bullet telecaster that has some serious tone for modern metal, and its got singles. obviously, it is not the best, tho I would never claim to say so. however it is an amazing option for $200 bucks, sounds better than half of the budget guitars in that range that are specifically designed for metal. it doesn't really compare to that of a mid-high end guitar with actives (or even passives) but honestly, i could write a record with it and it would kick ass. cleans are crazy nice on the neck pickup too.
rebeltug i love metal on single coils. they cut thru the mix really well and give the tone a very mid focused sound. especially the telecaster pickups. i agree 100%
Smokehill i’ve been using it for standard-Drop A# (with different string gauges of course) and it’s been a serious kick ass guitar. I never knew how much i liked them, but with ToneForge it sounds SO sick.
@@rebeltug I've also found that dry toned guitars with single coils do indeed work really well with most digital amp setups, Its just a nice neutral base to let the plugins work with. I find my schecter can sound pretty strained in a lot of the more obscure plugins and less clear in some others.
@@infernapeDLS Love Wage War. Think they're one of the hardest hitting bands out there. But Architects definitely deserve the credit when it comes to this concept of riff. That octave jump in the bottom strings have such a distinct sound
On a standard scale guitar, just use an 8 string set with a .74 or heavier low string, toss the 7th and 1st strings in the set and ur good to go. You may have to do a small setup adjustment to accommodate the heavier strings as well as filing the nut so that heavy of a string sits right in the nut
@@scottcampbell8841 Sounds about right, are EMGs still even a thing nowadays? lol. I mean I swear fishman fluence PUs are very common in these days metal bands
I appreciate metal bands who actually know music. They create soo much good stuff. He looks so down to earth too. Cheers mate

Sick riff. Will have to try it. Love the tuning too

I agree, you just gotta look for the voicings sometimes
do you know of a resource o learn some? I tried to find some good ones but didn't have much luck.
@@scriblestingray5713 hey man I could show you
Thank you Cody! I stucked to learning this part of Who I am. You helped me. :) Very useful video.
Wow! Wasn't expecting that kind of tone out of a tele.
its the fishman pickups and good setup. he’s probably also on a kemper/axefx/amp sim. anything would sound good with those elements combined.

What he really means is: "We chose this tuning because we love Architects too" lol
"Low wasn't ripped off of doomsday, I swear"
i aint hating on any band but lots of their riffs sound architechy and this particular riff sounds like a northlane riff....
@@infernapeDLS Love Wage War. Think they're one of the hardest hitting bands out there. But Architects definitely deserve the credit when it comes to this concept of riff. That octave jump in the bottom strings have such a distinct sound
@@infernapeDLS architects have been around forever.. I'm sure cody draws major influence from them. Riffs and tuning.
Who is that?
ngl, this is the first Wage War song I ever heard and as soon as this riff played I was like "ok fuck yeah I like this band." LOL
Architect's like to do a similar thing, just a half step higher. Love both you guys!
i wish he could have taught the river
"You see, we listened to Architects once and decided that's the sound we want"
not only architects but they sometimes sound like Northlane. Still sounds good tho
Never heard of them.
@@somersfamily so you've said under every comment mentioning their influence on wage war
On an interview, this guy actually said he wrote this lick BEFORE Architects released Doomsday.... FYI
Wow that's nice! Awesome!
Thanks man. Your a great guitarist. Eric
Cody: I’m here in my house in Nashville Tennessee.
Me: Books a trip to Tennessee
I want his guitar tone so bad🤤
It took me 2h to learn this goddamn riff. WHAT THE FUCK
My toxic trait is believing I can do this as a beginner guitarist
Very cool dude, great band! Nice \m/
Your a Killer guitarist bro
What gauge strings are you using here?
But how to play that 12(5 string)-10(6 string)-12(6 string) thing? My fingers are fighting with each other.
Hey guys what's up? Its Cody from Goth Crocs with socks.
What size is the F # chord?
Probably the top sting of an 8 string set so about a .80
.80
I use 68 on my rgib6 and its great
@@somersfamily for f#? I thought that would have been too light
@@mcmstralex6431 I’m pretty sure that’s a Ibanez baritone, that’s why it can take a lower gauge string, don’t quote me on that tho
for the longest time, i thought you just used a pitch shifter to take your Drop A# down to Drop F
I want him to do stitch, i wanna know if I'm playing it right haha
Sick
What patch/amp are you using for that nasty tone?? i’ve been wanting to find a tone just like this for recording!
Love it! What string gauge do you use to support the lower tuning? Thanks Cody!

Wicked !!!!!!!! :)
How tf does he go that low on a fender scale and keep it tight???
i heard that they use a 0.80 on that low string
pablocv92 my god, so huge!
Some people go that low on 24.75" scale guitars :D
ayeapprove it’s fine?
@@BagusWibisono it's doable
What model tele is that?
Fender American Professional Telecaster Deluxe with Fishman Fluence
how that scale?
25,5
holy fret buzz
What pickups are installed on that fender?
Fishmans, Fluence modern probably?
Fishman Fluence Modern
Of course Josh Middleton from Architects/Sylosis started using and promoting them first :)
They are Humbucker
@@scottcampbell8841 Sounds about right, are EMGs still even a thing nowadays? lol. I mean I swear fishman fluence PUs are very common in these days metal bands
@@awrely yea, and they are friggin everywhere on metal scene!!!!. I wonder if Seymour Duncan and EMG are still even competitors in modern metal.
Sic
Lol didn't realize this vid was 4 years old until he started bitching about unprecedented times that ended up being fine
