@@killeveryvenue You have no idea how awesome and versatile they can be, granted if your hand is big enough to reach that XX Low string. And for more insanely low tunings, buy a 9 string set of strings gauged in .09-.105 and use everything BUT the .09 gauged high E string. Trust me, it works.
100% want this from Nik, but for anyone who wants to learn it the track is totally doable on a 7 tuned standard on the highest 6 strings with the B down to F#. The only part you really can't do accurately is the tapping pre-chorus.
Even better, you can play it all on one string. Technically this song is in Drop A. The parts Nik plays on the lowest string in this video can be played entirely on the seventh string. The lowest note he plays on the eighth string is an A, on the fifth fret, which is the same note the seventh string is tuned to. Same octave.
I cannot believe that in this reality, my name-doppleganger is an incredibly talented guitar player who also loves Doom. Keep shredding, Nik! Sincerely, Nik.
I knew this would happen! Imagine how many 8 string guitars were bought just bought, just because of this song. Mick's gotta have some stock shares in guitar manufacturers. Sick Nik, thank you so much for this, made my day!
But why though? Master volume lowers the volume of ALL audio, music included. It’d make more sense to lower each category of audio except music and master.
*For he alone was the Hell Walker, the Unchained Predator, who sought retribution in all quarters, dark and light, fire and ice, in the beginning and the end, and he hunted the slaves of Doom with barbarous cruelty; for he passed through the divide as none but demon had before.*
YEAH! Let the 8 string content coming! I've got an 8 string myself but I have trouble finding fun (and not impossible) riffs to play. So Keep up the good work, love it!
@@wob6776 i think he uses all strings but i'm not sure if he uses notes below F#, i know that Mick Gordon (guy who wrote the doom soundtrack) used an 9 on the new E1M1
Y'all should check out the live performance of this at the Game Awards. I believe the drummer of Periphery played with Mick Gordon on that live. Super sick.
I told myself man I bet no one can play rip and tear, I stand corrected and in awe. Seriously man you look like you had a hell of a good time playing it and sounds perfect
Just found your channel. I gotta say, not only are you good, but putting the tabs on the bottom for all us plebs is God-tier. You're stuck with me now.
Hey everyone! I know I'm asking much but I could really use your help... I am a highschool student who just got interested in music. Before I wasn't really interested in anything music related maybe because I wasn't exposed with music until there was a new event at our school called "battle of the bands". Since the event was scheduled after school hours, I was not planning in watching and was ready to go home then my friend convinced me to attend. I don't have any plans or anything to do at home so I went with him to watch the event. When the first band showed up, I was really blown away by the performance and the music especially the guitar player when it was the solo part making me more interested and curious on what might the other band play. It was a really fun experience that after the event, I thought to myself if I can be like them, if even I can play music. Their performances gave me motivation to play music and now, one of my goals is to join a band and perform at the stage. I want to start to play music specifically playing the electric guitar but I can't since my family is really strict about money and don't support my passion for music. So I am asking again for help if you can to support me in getting a guitar and some gears so I can start my journey on learning music because I am excited to learn to play guitar and perform at a crowd of people.

I remember watching pro guitar tabs at some of Doom 2016's tabs. And I'm honestly just surprised at how simple they were, but how catchy and kick ass the songs are! Just to prove to everyone you don't need to play as fast as dragon force to be good.
I believe Mick Gordon himself said those awkward 2/4 pauses in the song weren’t what he originally wrote but some from editing depo that didn’t understand music
Spent a few hours trying to remember where I'd heard a similar main riff before. Randomly came to me just now that it's very similar to the opening riff from Korn's Blind
*Such an insanely good soundtrack*
*Tabs for this song and my other covers are available on my Patreon: **www.patreon.com/NikNocturnal*
Nik Nocturnal Great choice to start off with an eight string guitar if I say so myself. Because it is decidedly so.
Thank you for doing stuff from Doom.
Now do Bleed
@Nik Nocturnal Can you do a cover of BFG Division next?
Can you redo she sees everything by vimic since you got an 8?
You know Nik bought that 8 string to play some Doom songs.
Maverick McFarlane only reason i want one lol
You ain't see those super necessary harmonics? Totally justifies all the rest of the strings.

Not enough strings
Maybe...
Its hard to play the game when you're constantly headbanging to it
Tough times
@@NikNocturnal 😂 yeah I guess so
spartan_ Xbox yes
i already replaced my monitor 5 times because i keep headbutting it...
@@MrRed_2205 😂😂
Friend: Nik is like a demon with the guitar-
Me; No, demon is an offensive term, the proper term is mortally challenged.
What if we'd see a demon... A mortally challenged party in the next game demanding justice for being constantly offended for decades now...? :D
If Nik is a demon...he should be very afraid...

@@nooralamgir3703 thats the joke man
you remind me of everyone named nicky with blue hair and is over 250 pounds
3:21 i just love that transition.
Who doesn't? Its just so perfectt
2021: Good song
2024: *AETERNUS*
Now that you’ve got the 8 string when’s that Periphery Stranger Things cover happening?
Incredible song would love to see it happen
Yes
I want this
100% want this from Nik, but for anyone who wants to learn it the track is totally doable on a 7 tuned standard on the highest 6 strings with the B down to F#. The only part you really can't do accurately is the tapping pre-chorus.
Ooo good suggestion
Reported for being too heavy.
Reported for nudity so when RUclips sees it they get as erect as this soundtrack makes me lol
Hahahhaa made my day !!!!
@@josefilho8967 you're welcome.
hevy
Put this song on a scale and it would say "overweight" 😂
So basically the entire song is played with two strings.. lol good thing you got that 8 string bruh. Haha all jokes people.
Even better, you can play it all on one string. Technically this song is in Drop A. The parts Nik plays on the lowest string in this video can be played entirely on the seventh string. The lowest note he plays on the eighth string is an A, on the fifth fret, which is the same note the seventh string is tuned to. Same octave.
You don’t even need an 8 string or a 7 string for this song. Just tune a 6 string to drop A
It's funny but also there is that interlude in between on the thinner strings, but most of it yes
best part is Mick plays this on a 9 string
@@deviltelletubbie There is also part where tabs shows 5 fret on 8 string, but Nick still plays 7 string.
DOOM's soundtrack is literally one of the heaviest things ever and it's honestly just so perfect. Jaw kinda dropped when i saw the thumbnail
Well looks like it’s finally time to buy an 8 string
I thought Nick was just joking about getting an 8 string but then we got this...
he only uses the 7th string
@@RothingBrain false
You know, Mick Gordon used a 9-string guitar to create Doom soundtracks
No need. 6 string in drop A should be able to pull it off. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I cannot believe that in this reality, my name-doppleganger is an incredibly talented guitar player who also loves Doom. Keep shredding, Nik! Sincerely, Nik.
0:59 Slipknot - The Blister Exists

Tuned down quite a bit, but yes, that's definately the verse
holy shit hahaha

Sick Nik, thank you so much for this, made my day!
I'm finally able to grow a beard after listening to this. Thank you.
Hopefully I'll be able to soon
If you play Doom at 70% Master Volume and 100% Music Volume, smash that like
But why though? Master volume lowers the volume of ALL audio, music included. It’d make more sense to lower each category of audio except music and master.
Not for me; master volume just affects the game sound, not the music...so I think
100 master, 50 effects, 100 music
Try with surround sound, absolute heaven
Darth Nihilus and with bass its even betterrr🤤🤤

Nik out here with the sick doom covers just like Baena 🤘🏼🎸
Doom be chucking in some slipknot riffs
The blister exists - 0:59
Spit it out - 1:26
Yeah def a lot of slipknot influences
Yooo the way the spit it out part kicks in is menacing asf
When I count to 3, what are you gonna do?? Lol
Visceral Mantis the beginning sounds like red flag 😂
Dylan Forrester i didnt notice that lol
YEAH! Let the 8 string content coming! I've got an 8 string myself but I have trouble finding fun (and not impossible) riffs to play. So Keep up the good work, love it!
BFG Division is a jammer on 8 string
At this point I'm kinda just waiting for an Animal Crossing: New Horizons metal cover because of the DOOM ACNH memes lolololololololol
the most amusing thing to do on Nik Nocturnal Videos is to pause mid headbang and get something like this 3:29
Lmao yup
@@NikNocturnal you are now my biological father
BFG Division next my man, either that or the only thing they fear is you, happy to now see some djenty goodness
Wasn't the only thing they fear is you played on an 9 string?
@@WilsonTheArchitect Probably but it's not like it uses all 9 or even probably 6 strings. He can just downtune if he needs

The one song he couldn't cover within 24 hours
A perfect choice for the first song on the 8-string. One of the fastest notification clicks I've had
Rip and Tear, until it is done...
*So heavy, it’s a brain explosion 🤯🔥🌪*
*HEADBANGING Vigorously* 🤘😈
I feel complete... it almost brings a tear to my eye with how beautifully savage it is.
The fact that this of all things is the first thing you cover with your 8 string makes me so happy l0000l
Can't stop headbanging
It took Nik 4 years to cover this song. It's just so damn hard and heavy. Can't blame the man!
More Doom covers please! This was fantastic
I love this Mick Thomso.. Mick Gordon song! (I mean come on, it is basically an homage... And how wonderful at that!)
I agree. Defo early slipknot writing vibes
*hell yea*
Just found your channel. I gotta say, not only are you good, but putting the tabs on the bottom for all us plebs is God-tier. You're stuck with me now.
1:06 Sounds like a djenty version of "The Blister Exists"
Except faster and lower pitched
*RIFF AND SHRED*
Holy crap, easily the best video game music.
Aeternus
Actually just beat the game a few minutes ago. Longest boss battle ever
3:22 pure beast!
People all have their personal playing styles, but this dude definitely has his own headbang style and I dig it
Rip and tear is a great cover to take on and this I superb Mr. Gordon would be proud!
yes DOOM SLAYER GOOOOOO

I was looking for covers, and you, my dear Lord Nik Nocturnal, you did it.
This is the best day of my life.
Still waiting for some Infant Anihilator covers !
Perfect example of easy but extremely fun song to play

OMG YOU ARE DOING DOOM COVERS😤😤😤😤FRICK YES
Giving me some serious C&C Ra2 Vibes

Amazing job dude. Cheers from Romania !

i love this OST i listen to it all the time and you nailed it Nik nice job 🤘
Youve honestly helped with my depression, great work man
That is a sexy damn guitar
Slackin on the reviews!
Killin the covers doe
I don't play guitar, but I respect and appreciate the addition of the tabs. That must be helpful
Mick Gordon is a God!
Love how you’ve been doing the tab vids lately!
Thanks John!
I love these vids. Playing the music we want to hear AND sharing tabs. Thank you sir
Thank YOU for watching
The thing I like the most in Doom is definitely the soundrtack!
1:00 reminds me of All Out Life
I'm comfortable saying that i think Doom soundtracks are some of the heaviest music ever written
*IN THE FIRST AGE*
IN THE FIRST BATTLE
The first battle
WHEN THE SHADOWS FIRST LENGTHENED
ONE STOOD.
HE CHOSE THE PATH
I desperately need to play Doom. That soundtrack is fucking amazing.
Holy shit this was dope, good job dude
He really is. And u too!
Holy shit that was sick!, the whole soundtrack is legendary
he actually did it
I just got the new game too! I'm pumped!

yo this track fucking kills thanks for bringing it to my attention
best part is here 0:17
*30 minutes earlier*
Hey Andrew, you mind if I do the doom cover this time?"
Your videos are teaching me modes, thank you much. Do Jambi by tool cover next!
nailed it fam!
i knew and didnt know he was gonna do this
BFG Division with a tone and effects breakdown is now mandatory.
Dude give Wide Eyes a listen I'd love to see a cover by you. Keep it up mate.
I'd been waiting for you cover DOOM by new 8 string guitar!!
Fuck yes! I was hoping you'd do this since you got the 8 string! Didn't think it be so soon
