Just a clarification. When you say "syncopate" the drums, do you actually mean "synchonize"? Meaning to have the kicks play the same rhythm as the guitar? I thought you were going to move the kicks around to the off beats but you were just doubling the guitar with the kicks. That got me confused.
@@BrendonKPadjasek Forgot to say, great video man! Thank you. Can you also create a video for just riffs? Or just breakdown common ideas in metalcore riffs for intros, verses, and choruses. That's not to say that a video on writing a breakdown doesn't already help immensely 😅. Let's just say that as a hard rock guy, it's very hard to come up with metalcore riffs. lol. Some help on being able to analyze what makes a riff a metalcore riff would be great.
Love your videos man. Structures 'All The Above' EP was a gateway into a lot of different heavier music for me, so it's awesome to see you on YT making these tutorials. Happy to have you here.
Also an important distinction to make is that breakdowns should get the crowd moving, not just have the big Hollywood-type "wow" factor. I see a lot if bands nowadays with breakdowns that get big reactions on RUclips, but they don't really sound good live imo. Remember, the breakdown is to get the crowd moving and moshing, not to make them freeze.
Definitely agree with that. I actually said that in my other breakdown and buildup video so I didn’t find it important to mention it again. But you’re right about that. I also meant that with the whole “if course you can over and under so it” at the beginning Thanks for checking it out
I record everything twice and have one track on the left side and the other track on the right. Sometimes I do 4 tracks , 2 left, 2 right. All of the same part
Dude! Structures was great and Atlast was such a fucking banger. It didn’t click with me at first what you were talking about because you look like a younger dude. But then I was like “oh shit!!! Stuctures?!?! Fuck yes” Are you still in Toronto?
So somewhat “controversial”. As the old definition of double drop is when you drop the top string and the bottom string. But the way modern metal approaches it is that it’s an octave lower than it normally would be. So instead of drop a on a normal guitar it’s an octave lower than that , since I’m using a 30” neck. In my 8 string I have my tuning to double drop E and sometimes D. You just need the right thickness of string. I use an 84 on my 8 string to get to E/D. How long is the scale of your neck?
This guitar is very noisy. I got those 100-20s on them and all set up. But still It’s very noisy. I’ve set it up two ways. Higher and lower action. And it sure sounded like a bass so I lowered the action. It needs that percussive slap on the strings to sound good. I did switch the bridge around. What a modification. lol. The guitar guys said my guitar is not warrantied if I flip the bridge. lol. Anyone who has this guitar will know what I’m saying.
Yeah single coils are quite noisey. I find it sounds like a guitar if I put it on a guitar amp and sound alike a bass if I put it on a bass amp. That bridge think makes no sense to void the warranty because it’s not like you made any actual change to the bridge. That’s like saying if you switch the tone and volume knob the guitar warranty is invalid haha
I know right!! That was long and mcquade saying that. Hey thanks again for all your input. I still gotta learn some of your riffs. But it’s on my to do list. Thanks 🙏 again.

My bad! That’s definitely what I meant to say but had a verbal typo. Thanks for pointing that out
@@BrendonKPadjasek Thanks for clarifying!

Powerfull 🔥 How do you make a double tracked guitars?
I record everything twice and have one track on the left side and the other track on the right. Sometimes I do 4 tracks , 2 left, 2 right. All of the same part
Very helpful video for . Just like me. ❤
Super glad it’s helpful! That’s why I make these videos haha
Dude! Structures was great and Atlast was such a fucking banger.
It didn’t click with me at first what you were talking about because you look like a younger dude. But then I was like “oh shit!!! Stuctures?!?! Fuck yes”
Are you still in Toronto?
Haha that’s amazing. Thank you so much for that! Glad I mentioned it hahah. Yup we’re still all GTA dispersed all over haha
@@BrendonKPadjasek how did you guys record that first album?
@user-fw9gp8wg7f we recorded it with Jordan of Hardcore Music Studios. A lot of dissecting parts on guitar
@@BrendonKPadjasek would you ever do a tear-down of those old songs? Things that worked, things you’d do differently etc?
Do you provide music feedback by any chance?
I’ve considered doing streams and doing them there. But as of yet I don’t
Can you explain to me what is the double drop tune? How can I use something similar on a 8 string?
So somewhat “controversial”. As the old definition of double drop is when you drop the top string and the bottom string. But the way modern metal approaches it is that it’s an octave lower than it normally would be. So instead of drop a on a normal guitar it’s an octave lower than that , since I’m using a 30” neck.

You just need the right thickness of string. I use an 84 on my 8 string to get to E/D. How long is the scale of your neck?
@@BrendonKPadjasek you need to start using the numbers for example the tuning your talking about i believe is D1
@Durkhead correct that would be D1 and E1. My bad, thanks for pointing that out
@@BrendonKPadjasek your so nice
Eh you were right! no one’s perfect

@Rick_Johnson82 haha I appreciate that. Thank you! Yeah a lot of trial and error with that guitar
