  • @thelightshineth8848

    Great video as always! I think part of the confusion you guys were running into is the distinction between "guitar turning" and "key" - the "drop C#" tuning just means they've tuned the strings down so they can get lower notes, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're playing in the key of C#. They can still play in any key they want - which determines the actual notes they play. The tuning is just a mechanism to aid in achieving a particular sound (lower notes or to help make some notes or chords easier to play in certain keys). So while they might be in drop C# guitar tuning they could still be playing in Eb minor like Judson was hearing. He probably knows all this and was being gentle not trying to explain it, lol

      @@Greatmeasures hahaha I wouldn't take it to that extreme but you could tell he just didn't want to fight it lol. I don't know what key that song is actually in but my point was just that "key" and "tuning" are two different things. You can tune your guitar however you want and still play in whatever key you want, you just might be making it a pain in the ass for yourself or easier depending on what notes/key you're trying to play in!

    • @TheDeadStretch
      @TheDeadStretch ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Another good example of a Guitar tuning that makes it easier to make certain chords is an Open tuning like what Devin Townsend uses. I believe he uses Open G tuning.

    I thought Toxicity was the most original sounding albums of the early 2000's.
    One of the last bands that had their own sound, and was instantly recognized after 3 notes.
    The next 2 albums had a hard time capturing that originality Toxicity had, but were still good records.
    Can only do originality one time, well in SOADs case their first album was quite original too.
