Tuning: Drop C#
#DropCsharp #Guitar #Riffs
*Next video "200 Double Drop Z riffs"*
Can you do a cover of any kpop song in drop F next please? 😂 shit actually I don’t think there’s many pop songs nowadays that have guitars in them
Can you react to Bad Omens Newest song? Burning Out
I checked yesterday to see of you jad any drop z vids
Nik Nocturnal D# Standard is quite underrated. Stabwound by Necrophagist and Raining Blood by Slayer are two of my favourites.
*Jerry Cantrell wants to know your location*
Nik seems like the kinda guy who has his Spotify playlists sorted by tuning lol
That would actually be amazing
That sounds cool actually, may do it
yeah that's me...
Do you not?..
I actually do that with the songs i know on guitar
*opens video*
"You are about to *C* some *sharp* riffs!"
*closes video*
I would do the same
Sum gud ass dad joke right there
Should have dabbed right after.
Dude i love dad jokes
Drop C#, when drop D is not heavy enough but drop C makes your strings flop too much.
I use normal 10-46 and my strings are fine down to Drop A# :P
@@benhostetter4775 mine sound pretty good. I don't like taking them in lower than drop b though cause then they start to sound bad.
@@jch_music Nah, I'm serious. I haven't gone lower than Drop A, but the strings stay tight enough to play well. To top it off, the guitar I abuse by doing that is a cheap $150 Schecter C-1 SGR that plays wonderfully. I'm too paranoid to do that and risk throwing off the intonation/action/tension on my Jim Root or my Chapman.
@@jch_music i tune down to drop c all the time on my gio without problems, shouldnt be an issue for you either
@@jch_music I use regular slinkys and they've been fine down to drop G#
You might have to adjust your trus rod for string tension
Nik : "Drop C#"
Early 2000s Linkin Park : *has entered the chat*
Alex Hardline that really made my heart happy
^^^
Pretty much
Crawling!
made my day! my favorite tuning.
SHOVE IT SHOVE IT SHOVE IT
Man, them bones by alice in chains is a great c sharp song. of the heaviest most "in your face" type of riffs the 90's in my opinion.
Fuck. Now I realise why I've been struggling to sing this fucking song. I always thought it was eb for some reason.
I do love drop C#. its just low enough to have some serious grunt and low end boom to it, but unlike some lower tunings it still has a lot of punch too. Heavy without being djenty.
haha i still cant decide between drop d or drop cis ....
Totally agree. I've been playing in C# for 2 years and I find it perfectly balanced, it's a low tuning that still allows you to perceive all the notes you play without it all being too muddy
What string gauge is best for Drop C#?
@@JasonStephens7 50-11 for me personally
@@JasonStephens7 I use the orange Skinny Top Heavy Bottom strings from Ernie Ball.
C# is under appreciated change my mind
Agreed
It was extremely popular in late 90s / early 2000s nu-metal though
Breaking Benjamin what lies beneath. Best example of C#
Do you realize how many death metal bands use c# tuning? All the ones worth mentioning
@@AurelionTheStoic dying fetus* misery index* suffocation*
Me: hears one of these sick riffs then goes to listen to it
Song: BLEEEEeEeeEeaeaggGgHHhHh
randomations Yt of mice & men huh? 😂
Which song? These are heavy metal songs. Some may be heavier than others. Of mice and men is probably one of the heaviest. Just listen to “How to Survive” by Of Mice and Men. You’ll see
bleeegggh
That’s what’s you want
The screaming of the vox
The growling and the blegh
I came for Linkin Park and Deftones
.....aaaaand there they are
Aha of course!
I thought it was going to be a South Park reference but ok.
Probably my favorite tuning. You can make beautiful melodies or groovy heavy headbanging grooves.
It's hard to get heavier than the second riff of My Own Summer
Edit: It doesn't need to be a competition but I'll have fun looking up some of these bandos.
Cough, cough Architects
Edit: Old BMTH then?
SacredOfTheScYtHe Cough, cough, nah.
Literally fucking anything Meshuggah ever wrote
Listen to the japanese band UnsraW. Not heavy in the sense that core and br00tal is, but the grooves are full of adrenaline
Gojira= Remembrance
Idk why but the flipped screen while awkwardly staring at the camera was the most hilarious thing I've seen in awhile.
(Glad to see BYOB in there 🤘)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Let us all take a moment to appreciate the hard work this guy has to do to set up this guitar for each one of these videos... Serious respect
This becomes the reason why people buy multiple guitars, or at least that's the excuse I tell myself
The heaviest thing ever in Drop C# is obviously Stick Stickly
*CRAB INTENSIFIES*
I miss “Attack Attack!” :(
Seriously I miss the old attack attack days
Don't forget sexual man chocalate
Fukkin Stick Stickly
KEEP ME CLOSE
KEEP ME CLOSE
KEEP MY HEAD ABOVE WAAAAATERRRRER
low key tho C# is the best 6 string tuning
I prefer B#
marlinho guerravić haha How about E# bro? Djent
C# is my favourite tuning aswell! So nasty
northlane play in E# on their new album such a sick tuning lol
Sam Fairclough I NEED TO HEAR YOUR VOICE NOW
CANT DO THIS ON MY OWN
I don't particularly know why, but I prefer "Scream" over "Almost Easy" a little bit. Thank you for putting LP and Disturbed in!
I love this series. A perfect means to analyze the difference in flavor between tendencies attributed to tunings
I know it’s a bit older, but I’d say that my favorite dropping c# riff might be the intro Unchained by Van Halen.
Glad to see the pioneers of drop C# (Linkin Park and Deftones) were featured!
My Own Summer takes the cake for best riff in this video
^^^
Maaan, what about "children of the grave", black sabbath, 1971? That's pioneers
@@desper_x Children of the grave is in C# standard, close enough tho.
Oldest songs in DROP C# (yes, drop, not standard C#) that I can think of are Van Halen’s Unchained and Dirty Movies (both from 1981)
Alice in Chains
Drop C# and no As I Lay Dying riff?! my heart... it hurts.
Haha still
@Taylor Warren KsE is all Drop C and D Standard and AILD for the most part has mainly played in Drop C as well.
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 Lot of bands have a lot of songs in a lot of tunings. I just have soft spot for AILD , they evoke the nostalgia in me
Within destruction ❤️
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 AILD have a few songs in drop C#
@@ivanafeelcool9143 Never said that they didn't...
Ive been waiting the longest time for C# because I was hoping you'd do some Ice Nine Kills, And you totally delivered, played it amazingly. Great job man!
Thank you!
Love that first Ice Nine riff. That song was insane live.
They're amazing live!
Again with Drop C#
*A7X has entered the Chat*
The breakdown in Me, Myself & Hyde is FILTHY.
Also One Step Closer is a jam, but I think Hit the Floor is heavier
Luc L it is
Hit the floor is the most underrated song on that album
@@reidgowan2670 Agreed, I personally prefer Faint or Figure .09, but hit the floor is crispy
@@drystofiscalio7545 figure.09 has my favourite breakdown
I will love you forever for Putting one step Closer in this Video
I’m more impressed with the memorizing of all the patrons names. Not because patrons, but just the fact he did it without cuts or splatting them on the screen like credits.
I personally would’ve chosen 512 for Lamb of God but apart from that Drop C# has some pretty decent riffs 🤘🏼
Same
I was stuck between that one and the one I picked actually
Nik Nocturnal Ah, yes. Desolation’s a good Drop C# riff too, actually. Nice vid Nik!
OK YEP. I SEE DEFTONES. YEP YOU WIN, OK.
:)
Chris Redfield new they’d be in here the second i started the video, came to the comments before i got to the song. wasn’t disappointed
"Dusk Dismantled, Dusk Dismantled..."
*In Waves*
"Dammit!"
Lance Olson I’m just happy trivium is in there, although they have made heavier drop c# riffs, I was hoping pillar of serpents
@@nalonlefournis I had no doubt he was going to put a Trivium song on here, but that song to me is the heaviest Drop C# song they have. Pillars of Serpents is in Drop D.
Lance Olson the 2019 re-record was in drop c#
@@nalonlefournis Ah. I didn't realise that.
Chaos Reigns is 10x more intense than In Waves
Surprised yet happy you put Pierce the Veil in there. As much as people may not like the guy’s voice, their musicianship is amazing!
Seeing an Alter Bridge riff makes my heart happy. That band 0 bad songs
Interesting. But can you do a Bleed drum cover on your guitar
ROFL
Probably not
Do it or the water bottle gets it
Hey Keanu, do you play my game?
Master Chief love it
Enter Shikari out of nowhere!!! amazing
Aha yeah, they have some bangers!
saw them at download the other day for the first time, I guess I finally understand the hype
There's one riff that I wish was really popular, because it's heavy af in my opinion. Well, maybe not a riff, but a really powerful chord progression. Polish band Ira released a song called mój bój (eng: a god of mine). When intro ends, it really hits hard. Worth checking out regardless of language barrier
Loved seeing MMF in there, but I think the best riff in that album in the haunted. So fun to play! Loving that English accent dude!
English accent?
First time I've seen someone put a Stone Sour song in a C# list. A Rumor Of Skin is my favorite song off of House Of Gold And Bones Pt. 1. Thanks for adding it :)
Thank YOU for watching! :)
Drop C# is one of the most perfect tunings ever
Hell Yeah Sikth! You should cover some of their songs.
It's insane how technical those tracks are
@@NikNocturnal I know right!? 👍😉
It sounds shitty actually
lmao when i saw c# i was like "nik is a cultured man... he better put pierce the veil in here" these dudes need to be taken more seriously... sick vid!!
Thats my fav PTV song, I didn't realize it was C#, thought it was A# lol
I wrote them off for a long time because of their fanbase (ripped skinny jeans, long jet black hair, gauges, black lipstick, studded belts, snake bites, etc haha) and "whiney" vocals. Boy was I an idiot, wish I gave them an honest listen much sooner. Collide with the sky is one of my favorite albums to jam to now, really fun good music! Better late than never :D
I actually really like their instrumental work
At the start of the video: He better have put in some Stone Sour and Trivium in there.
I was not left disappointed.
LMAO “‘C’ some ‘sharp’ riffs…” 😂
You should've put the chorus lick for "Scream" by A7X
1:22 - *OH WAH AH AH AHing* internally
RED- "Breathe Into Me"
Breaking Benjamin- "Wish I May"
Earshot- "Wait"
Wish I may is a fucking awesome song
JustPressPlay Red rocks!!!
Totally forgot about Breaking Benjamin. I think most of their stuff is drop C#.
Earshot. I only know that band, and that particular song of theirs because of MX Vs. ATV Unleashed.
Why have I never seen this before? The intro made me laugh too hard 😂
Started out with INK! my man🤘🏻
Hell yee!
Would love to see heaviest D standard and/or E standard riffs. Keep up the good work love your videos man!
Sylosis has entered the chat
Deftones, disturbed, SOAD and linkin park were here, OF COURSE DUDE still kicking it 🤘🏻♥️🇲🇽🔥
That fucking joke at the beginning, why do I keep watching it over and over and laughing so hard at it?
fun fact the very same trivium album ascendancy you all worship was written for this tuning
My favourite tuning! Amazing you included Enter Shikari!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Another heavy Drop C# riff is the riff for Dogman by King's X!
Nice adding in the Funeral for a friend. Tasty choice.
I'm not sure what I'm more impressed by, the killer riffs or your name call out at the end. Omg
Trivium's Pillars of Serpants remaster should have been here. Or sever the hand
Pillar of Serpents has some heavy ass riffage for sure
Almost put that one instead of In Waves actually
I would've loved to see the pre-solo riff in Stone by Alice In Chains. It's got a chromatic/diminished kinda vibe, as well as includes a m2 harmonic interval, so that's metal enough for me.
Had them on the bigger list actually :)
Ghost Walking is brutal, favorite Lamb of God track
I just lost my shit at your intro because i LIVE for amazing jokes like that
I came here for Lamb Of God, Linkin Park, Disturbed, Stone Sour, A7X, System Of A Down & Deftones
Was happy to see you include some PTH.
Hell yee!
Wow right when I asked my request was fulfilled. Awesome job on my favorite tuning my man!
Thank you!
Everybody: Sorry your not a winner
*Nik: The feast*
Aha I did have a tough time choosing between those 2 tbh
@@NikNocturnal Tis like picking your favorite kid innit.
Pierce the Veil's Bulls in the Bronx has a real easy but pretty fun to play riff right at the beginning. They play super often in drop c # so if you didn't include them I would have been surprised. Great vid!
There are so many better Trivium riffs in drop c#
Damn you're right. These riffs ARE sharp!
Starting the video with Ice Nine Kills is always the best way to start a video 😂
Hell yee!
No Attack Attack!
0/🦀
Seriously though, favorites are
My Own Summer
Them Bones
Heart Shaped Box
Stick Stickly
Minerva (I think it's in C# standard, but what ever. G# C# F# B E G# C#)
Edit, there is a six string on Minerva tuned to drop C#.
I still wouldn't consider Minerva as a drop or standard C# song. It's mainly on a 7 string
Drop C# and no Alice in Chains?! Dude Them Bones is heavy asf
Well idk if half step down counts.
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 That's what drop C# is
Jason LovesABR Drop C# is basically D# standard tuning but with the top string tuned to C# and Them Bones is in Drop C#
@@tp3821 I know what Drop C# is guys. Lol but half step down is still an entirely separate tuning, otherwise Slayer would've made it to this list.
@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 them bones is in C# though, not D# standard
Down With the Sickness will always hold a special place in my heart haha
^^^
Blood meat - protest the hero,
Aniema in the sheets - still remains
In Waves para mi es la más representativa del Drop C#
Wish I May - BREAKING BENJAMIN
oh wah ah ah ah
Forthangel!! Heck yeah! Literally have never come across anyone else that has heard of them. Wish they were still making music.
THANK GOD IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. GREATEST TUNIG EVER
I miss Dir En Grey - Vinushka, i love the riffs
Reiketsu Naresiba, Saku, or Obscure would've been great choices too
@@ItsAwakemusic idk about the others, but Obscure is in Drop A/D (idk how its called, is Drop A but with Low E tuned in D xD)
@@dehasim The 2011 version is for sure but isn't the Vulgar version in C#?. I didn't think DEG started going down passed Drop B until after Uroboros
@@ItsAwakemusicthe Vulgar version is Drop A too xD, another riff in C# that i love is Dozing Green (the first song i discovered, the second one is Different Sense)
@@dehasim Really? Well shit, the tabs I downloaded for it a couple years back are wrong then lol
Thanks for showing Skith some love
Definitely anything from Of Mice & Men’s 1st album is my favorite to play with drop c#. Pretty cool to see you included “Those In Glass Houses” in the video 🤘
Sleeping With Sirens- With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear: intro
The Sinner is actually so fun to play, and I don't even like Memphis May Fire anymore lol.
Also so glad Enter Shikari is on here.
fr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Breaking Benjamin's Saturate album is Drop C# gold
Drop C# is one of my top favorite tunings.
I c you with those cutting puns dude.
I think I came when I heard Silverstein and trivium
100%
I never thought silverstein would make it into this list. I can die happy now.
Shiby agreed
That pun in the beginning was genius 😂
3:30 “A T T I C T E D T O P A I N”
Hahaha great video boss!
Aha thank you!
What about the legendary crabcore song? (You know what I'm talking about ;))
enlighten me
Enlighten me
pesci_fabio Stick Stickly by Attack Attack!
I included it in my video 2 weeks ago actually so I thought to keep it out for some variety :)
@@NikNocturnal ahh ok! I hadn't realized lol
perfect weapon black veil brides
Glad to see Alter Bridge getting some love. woulda been nice to see a Tremonti riff like Another Heart cause that shits pretty heavy
I like that you put Enter Shikari in there
lowkey was hoping for A7X - Scream but Almost Easy is good too
I actually had that one on first, but thought almost easy had a bit more edge to it
Would've have been funny if he added stick stickly
I added that song in my last week video so didn't want to over do it
@@NikNocturnal oh ok
Ghost walking is so heavy it makes me wanna mosh
YES! Thank you for adding Alter Bridge and Deftones! Rock on!!
Hey, Nik, you forgot I Need Your Clothes Your Boots and Your Motorcycle - Austrian Death Machine
Danielleandro Gonzalez Yes, definitely wanted ADM in this
I completely forgot about them
Kind of upset that OOA weren’t featured at all in a C# video
They were on the bigger list, sorry my dude!
love the riff but was super surprised to hear B.Y.O.B. great stuff
"Atticted to the Pain" lol. Great video tho man 🤘
