Love the Danny Carrey Tshirt
It's actually a Ballast Point shirt.
@@axeofcreation r/woosh
Hahaha heck yea dude ;)
He didn't get the octopus reference I guess
Well, DC has an octopus shirt available. I didn't realize this was a joke because of that. My bad y'all.
That tone is amazing
ML Sound Lab
@@axeofcreation 😱Noooooo! It's digital....?? Oh man...I was raving about that tone too! What will I tell my guitar player friends!? 😆
Tech has come a long way. Still doesn't beat the real thing but it gets the job done.
@@axeofcreation What settings on ML Soundlab did you use to create that sound?
I came for the riffs & stayed for those sweet ass inlays
Inlays are exactly what’s in my Carvin ! Considering it’s a Kiesel that kinda makes sense now lol beautiful though regardless
That first riff. So tight. So crunchy.
Its basically the "For whom the bell tolls" riff by Metallica!! LOL funny, He says "lamb of god, pantera" LOL ... wow.
It's not "basically" For Whom the bell tolls, that song and riff is a completely different harmony. And Yeah, Lamb of God - 11th Hour. Thanks for playing.
@@axeofcreation in your opinion. but it is basically for whom the bell tolls. slight variation only. when i first heard it i thought for sure he was just playing that riff...shocked me when he said what he said. but you do you.
@@metalriffs6276 I mean, it's really in your opinion because he wrote the riff and also has a channel dedicated to things like music theory, I would trust his distinction over yours, random youtube commenter.
@@5kr3aminMunk33 LOL so your saying there is no way in hell that he can write a riff that accidently or intentionally is the same as an existing, other band's riff??? are you serious?? wow...the internet strikes again.
“Metallica’s Breadfan”
Budgie: am I a joke to you?
bahaha!
Then plays RHCPs version of the same riff, haha
Love the satin finish on this guitar. Way classier than the usual glossy.
Agreed! Never been a big fan of glossy finishes.
11a❤ 5:50 😂@@axeofcreationmy cat sent this message. I was petting her while you were jamming and this is what she said.😂😂😂
I love that you go into enough theory to have an understanding of whats going on and why, but not so much that you turn playing into homework. subscribed!
That guitar is fire man, not even talking about the octo-shirt
Honestly, it looks so smooth, the inlays are beautiful as well.
Style #4 of drop D riffing -- all of those classic Van Halen riffs from the Fair Warning album.
Such a nasty, grungy tone, but still versatile.
Real cool video - short, focused, and explained well. Now I didn't learn anything because I've been playing for so long and these are all ideas I've already picked up, but I appreciate you putting it into words these concepts that just sit in my noodle for years.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really appreciate the content on AoC. As a Tool fanatic and a confirmed Drop D addict this channel is a personal fav
The 3rd riff was absolutely sick tho. Just proved to me that harmonic minor is one of the best scales for metal
I'm a bass player but this was still super helpful. As well your tone is ferocious! Keep killing it.
I have a 7 string and the tuning I have been playing with on it is G, D, A, D, G, B, E. Perhaps you could talk about it a bit in a future video?
I like A D A D G B E
@@rileythompson5127 B, D, A, D, G, B, E is also fun. But doing a power chord on the low strings is a bit of a stretch. The upside is riffing is pretty fun.
Damn dude that kiesels matte black burst looking finish is insaane🔥🔥
2nd riff is my favorite, so soundgarden like
As someone who REALLY digs Lamb of God, that first riff completely ravaged my entire being.....i MUST play it
Yes!
i concur
Ruin!!!!
Yay! I understood one! Also, ‘Outshined’.
That guitar is perfect
Thanks. I also enjoy playing the 0356 type riffs, combined with that cliché 3 -> 5 on the A-string.
I'm so happy to see Kiesel stuff become more and more used nowadays. To me, they were always some of the nicest guitars out there.
simple effective, i like it...no wonder the common theme is the common theme, hats off drop D lords, Thanks Greg
This is the first video of yours that I’ve watched. Based on how you spoke and explained the video I thought this was gonna be simple and tame, then you pimp slapped me across the face with that first riff so now I’m gonna stick around.
The second riff makes me think of Slither by Velvet Revolver
Love your channel I have for years and I really appreciate the way you explained context because so many music teachers will hand you all the tools and just say go for it your videos always make me understand music better
I appreciate that!
Greg would love to see a rundown of 4 degrees the whole song. You are the best when it comes to Tool lessons.
What an amazing lesson! More drop tuning + music theory please! Subscribed!
Riff 1 - Lamb of God/RATM/Slipknot
Riff 2 - Disturbed/Godsmack/Soundgarden
Riff 3 - Slayer/Tool/Muse
that last one hits different mate
Cool lesson nice guitar...I have a Carvin from 1996 and a Kiesel with EMG "HET" pickups...
You're forgetting the most used one.. the pedal style riff. 000D and then riff on the A string. Like Unholy confessions.
Great informative video it’s helped me out and definitely a fun tuning to keep making up riffs !
Very nice Greg, good inspiration for my current skill level.
Great to hear!
Sounds good, I love playing around with drop d
Thank you for the guitar knowledge my brother
first song sounds *EXTREMELY* Lamb of God, but the last two were both like, 100% Tool
You're really good. I've been watching and learning all week. Subbed.
great vid for the newer players to build off of . something easy fun to start showing different pathways . good stuff 👏
Thanks 👍
I immediately thought of Soundgarden on that second riff. Then you said Spoonman. No doubt!
Always inspiring!! Thanks Greg🔥🔥🔥
I appreciate that!
Now THAT’S what I’m talkin’ about! I could be stupid, but I’d rather “riff” than solo! I’ll probably try this in standard first…but the possibilities are endless! Thank you. Subscribed!
Amazing, great baseline
I had the pleasure of meeting you at the Kiesel showroom. You have great content man! I dig it!!
Another amazing video, thank you!
Thanks again!
Almost 100k So close man keep it up!!
Me: tunes to drop d.
*Neil Young has entered the chat*
Surprised he doesn’t have more subs. You actually learn something.
10/10 lesson. Just perfect.
Thanks to this tutorial very great
Awesome video, great ideas!
I noticed a bit of Jerry Cantrell style there, would you touch on that in one of your up and coming clips?
Good lesson! Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Great breakdown
Thanks for the video
Thank you so much! Such a great video.
If something works, no matter how simple and clichè, its Good.
The style of the open, first fret, and sixth fret thing is what I do to rip off Rammstein riffs.
Great video thanks
1:20 i love Roots Bloody Roots!
Great video my dude
Very useful insight! Thanks! Like the logic applied...
Glad it was helpful!
Great Lesson/Tips! Thanks!!!
Great tone. Great riffs. Great teaching. Just found your channel. Subscribing.
THANKS BUD
Ok I’m gonna follow you for when I get an electric
Gracias tron!!
Thanks a lot
Love your work as always man... I do have a random question though, what kind of strings do you use? I'm just curious because I've used Heavy Bottom slinkys for a long time and I think that is more of my "Adam Jones Fanboy" thinking and I want to experiment with different gauge strings/brands and whatnot
I'm a slinky man myself as well. I tend to usually use 10s, if I know I'll be playing in strictly Drop D, I'll go a little thicker on the low string.
Very helpful
Would you PLEASE do a vudeo on this tone?!
Sweet...thanks
great tutorial thanks so much for making
Cool stuff fella’ 😮
Do you usually play Strength Beyond Strength in Drop D??
No. Just a reference.
Lol this interaction felt awkward.
Fun video keep it up
The original song, from memory, is around C# standard
@@localmusiclover605 I play it in E standard
Strength Beyond Strength is between D standard and C# Standard. Dime adjusted his tuner to be a bit flat so other bands in their jam space would stop stealing their riffs. So they’d tune to Standard, Drop D, or D standard, but with the tuner set to 425-430ish instead of 440Hz
Brilliant. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
1st riff reminds me of old school Command & Conquer.
"China must grow larger!"
Melvins are the drop D goat
Time to get my Shinedown on
great video! Thank you!
Nice video man! Can you tell us, what string gauge do you use in your Kiesel guitar for this tune?
Great tone btw man!
This is exactly what I was looking for
Very usefull bro. Tnx
Thanks!
To summarize, The Lamb of God, The Slash, The Mark Tremonti
Greetings from Brazil!
Love your videos
Obrigado
@1:29 lol hello South Park!
Such a delicious tone
Thanks dude 😏👍
Awesome - as always
Thanks again!
There is much more in drop D with big and bright major chords. U can play riffs say in key of E and then use the open D and A.
For sure!!!
Great tutorial Salute to you Sir,
Thank you kindly
Thanks man.
Second riff reminds me of three days grace
Awesome video! For the first riff, it would be easier to note in 6/8, just so you wont have so many triplet brackets
I'm gonna add these to my own riffs
Freakin sweet riffage here!!!
Cool channel like your content I think 🤔 I’m going to subscribe
Welcome!
1:25 "How to play korn"
I got some Opeth vibes from the last riff.
