Cheers rich ☺️ great info tutorial guitarists..
I know that you know you can drop the first string to D also This tuning works well on 6 &12 string acoustics Thank you for your video enjoy life
It doesn't look like you need any more money.
@@dsublette1 who are you talking to?
Love your stuff. What kind of tuning does Kim Thayil use in the song "4th of July"?
Fun fact: Tom Morello came up with the Killing In The Name verse riff while teaching a student about Drop D tuning.
Wish he had been my guitar teacher.
That's dope!
@@daviddarko2665 No, drop D. LOL
Fuck yeah 🤘🏻
@@johntomasik1555
He definitely gets the recognition. People all over the world praise him. You tools love to say people are “underrated.” Lol
I love how excited Rick gets when he's about to play nirvana he's like a kid it's great
Adam Jones is no joke! No screaming solos just technical artistry!
The guitar tone on the Aenima album is my favorite. That solo near the end of "Third Eye" and the tone on "Pushit" is just incredible. I can't even describe it.
@@seminole17910 jesus yes! The tone in pushit on that lstverse that's not on the live version was out of this world!
@@colmivers The live version of Pushit that starts out mellow with the alternate "bridge" is insane!
I can’t stand guitar wankery. I’ll take Adams style every time
@@seminole17910third eye is a whole journey, just like reflection and rosetta stoned.
01:54 Filter "Hey Man Nice Shot"

Kings x was the only one of these bands I did not have in my ear for 20+ years.
@@tarnocdoino3857 same
Thank you
@@tarnocdoino3857 You really should check out their stuff. I've been a fan since the 80's. Greatest band no one, except hardcore fans, has ever heard of. Also a LOT of fun to play!
Where’s Godsmack!!
The way Rick smiles happily in anticipation before he actually plays the riffs makes ME happy. That love for music is so relatable even though I can't even play the electric guitar.
Indeed
IKR? He's so into the zone, you can see 'Young Rick' appear before your eyes. Especially on #4.
Ya know even people who dont smile whilsts playing feel an extreme amount of passion for it xD
That Tool album changed my entire life and outlook at music...
@A A Both incredible albums in their own right. A sign of a truly amazing band.
for me it was Undertow. I Remember thinking how I was going to HAVE to be disappointed for the next album, cause they were never ever going to top that... well we all know how that ended
I was pleasantly surprised to see A7X represented here. They are one of my all time favorite bands and one of the reasons I wanted to learn guitar in the first place.
I was expecting it to be honnest since first : you're right they are amazing and are also the reason why i wanted to learn guitar, and second : just like he said in the video Syn is one of his great friends and he absolutely loves what Syn is doing in terms of musical prowess
You heard lamb of God before?
Helmet's album "In the Meantime" took drop D to another level
!! 🤘🏽
Rick releases a Drop D video and I'm all "Hello! I've waited here for you everlong."
Excited "ok oooh" from me.
Trueee
You Foo.
Thats the first song i thought aswell
Haha love this comment
Rick Beato: I'm not really a guitarist
Also Rick Beato: Plays a bunch of fast riffs effortlessly
He's like, "Aww, I haven't played in a while", but then crushes anything you ask him to play.
He's just one of those musicians who knows so many instruments that he feels like a dud if he's been playing the piano, the drums and bass for a week but forgot the guitar.
Rick is the one guy you want to find if you want to learn about EVERY ASPECT of music (composition, execution, recording, production, mixing, mastering and every little thing in between).
He's an absolute beast. He's taught me SO MUCH valuable information.
Watching him almost guarantees learning -- even if you skip, you'll learn something about pick thickness, or how cranking the MID will affect a song depending where you land!
...and a Marilyn Manson song that could be played by a 6 year-old.
@@MattsAwesomeStuff Kinda proves the point doesn't it? That's what a guitarist would do.
Being not the top most guitarist in in the recording studio, doesn't make Rick "not a guitarist." Being better than most professional guitarists...kinda does.
Not a guitarist, just a guitar teacher. Totally different.
he's hung out with so many great guitarists for whom it is their life, to him it would be silly to claim to be a serious guitarist...it's all relative Ive found. Ive been both an amazing guitarist and a not so great one, all without my skill level changing, All depends on who's watching and if they know how to play.
Every time I tune from standard to Drop D, I automatically play "Outshined" for a second. I thought FOR SURE that was going to be number one. Right band, wrong song. So close. haha Super solid list, especially considering how difficult it had to be to narrow down.
BOOM! Yes
Yes, that's the tune that always comes to mind for me as well. The first drop-d song I learned!
For me it was always Black Hole Sun
Ty Tabor is such an unsung guitar genius. It's a crime that King's X wasn't more popular.
I've heard stories about the record company saying they were easily the most requested band by all the other artists that wanted their albums. I'm guessing they could get them for free?
Ty is definitely a player's player
sure, the screaming, shredding solos get the lion's share of attention, but take some time to appreciate Ty's outstanding rhythm support work in so many of King's X's excellent catalog ... I think his rhythmic playing in "Lost in Germany" is tremendous
@@doctorpatient519 Haha, good call Doc. That track gets stuck in my head a ton.
Dogman is an incredible riff. First time I heard it I almost OD'd on serotonin
Ty is so good it’s ridiculous. He can play virtually any style with perfect timing and fingering. His left hand is unparalleled and his right hand has such great feel, muting and harmonics. He also has the Phil Keaggy volume knob swell down pat wherein the pick attack is silenced and the result is a bowed instrument sound (violin, viola or cello) using the pinky finger. I haven’t heard him do that for a while. He lives in the same city I do but as many years as it’s been I doubt if he even remembers me. Although, true story, when my band, the Ryde launched, Ty was my band’s first Sound and Light man for our first 2 gigs as The Edge/Sneak Preview had a few days off and we were using almost identical sound and lighting made by John Gott of Dynamite Sound and Light in Springfield MO
The main riff of “Killing In The Name” is one of the best, most satisfying riffs of all time.
Listen to "know your ennemy" by the same band. Puts KITN to sleep
@Nick Swanson it does lol . The ending is brilliant and that Maynard part was so great
KITN is a better composed song overall but if we're talking single riffs off that album, I'll take Freedom.
@@whiskeycan529, I’ll agree.
@@whiskeycan529 your choice, I respect it. But "know your ennemy" does it for me. Maybe its also because KITN is overplayed , too..
I had the pleasure and humble honor of being the one to digitally archive that Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young album from the original tape 👍🏻👍🏻
The excitement in Rick's face makes it all the more fun to learn
King’s X!! Hell yes! Ty Tabor is one of the most underrated guitarists ever!!
Special Mention:
Negative Creep - Nirvana
Slither - Velvet Revolver
Outshined - Soundgarden
Outshined. Best song ever.
YES to all three of those!!!! Negative Creep was one of my first drop D songs to learn, followed by Outshined
@@stephenbenderplus agreed but is it true Drop D?
@@LintBisquick How is it not true drop D?
Outshined seriously outshines Spoonman for drop-d playing. So many other chord voicings utilizing that low-d string other than just the open-fifth.
Slither from Velvet Revolver is my ultimate drop D tune. The licks, bends and pull offs Slash pulls from that main riff make the whole song.
ABSOLUTELY
I hear this and I wanna be Scott W RIP
Glad someone mentioned this one I was waiting for it. Fuckn banga.
Was definitely surprised that it was left out. When he said ”my all time favourite drop-D I was hoping for Soundgarden but thinking Slither
Drop Db
@@GJSolo No, it’s 440hz tuning. Watch the video and jam along. Slash playing open D chords with drop D E string. Played this tune for years.
Rick, the fact that you paid homage to King's X in this video makes you even cooler (as if that was possible). What about getting Doug, Ty, and Jerry in the studio for a special interview?
RIck, I literally cannot watch any of your videos because I just get sucked into this vortex of amazingness that is not only extremely informative but super entertaining. Your appreciation of the music that you feature is so infectious. You are the best, bar none.
I think Helmet's unsung was when I first started taking notice to drop tuning.
That power groove type sound still gets me today
This guy is the most musically inclined person I’ve ever seen. True musician 🎼
And we love his passion for music and teaching.
I don't know. There's this guy Jimmy Paige some people talk about.
@@Crazyfool12 I concur. Although different thing all together. I grew up on Page, Slowhand, Rhodes, Lifeson and George Lynch. All different flavors but sheer brilliance on the fretboard.
Guthrie Govan is chuckling, but yea hes damn good
Prince: Hold my guitar :)
That said, I love Rick´s amazing musical skills and that he takes the time to explain it all to us mortals. Wish Prince would have made videos like this while he could, but I guess he was busy doing what he did.
The looping riff of The Beatles - "I Want You She's So Heavy"! I remember in grade 4 I heard it for the first time. I never heard a looping and ominous riff like that before and it put me in a trance, and I thought that the CD player was actually broken at first. After telling my Dad, he gave me some Black Sabbath albums.
That’s the coolest, darkest riff of all time
"Heavy" also works stupendously, played on piano. Do the bass part in octaves. It's dynamite! Hypnotic, too!
Fred
Rick, great work as always. One song in drop D that stands out from my cover band days… Shine by Collective Soul. The crowd absolutely loved it back in the day.
You know when the video starts and Rick has TWO FULL STACKS behind him that things are about to get serious.
Actually some Zep Tunes had drop D before VH.
I have a funny Marilyn Manson story too. I used to work at MTV in Los Angeles and I was on site tech support one of the years they held the VMA's in LA. I had a radio so that if anyone needed computer support they could reach me. On the day before the show they had a dress rehearsal and I hear on the radio, "could we get some more lights in the dressing room? Marilyn Manson has a problem with the dark." Which I thought was wildly ironic considering his image.
Haha man thats crazy
This is something ya don't get anywhere else. A countdown with the riffs shown in their true form. Two thumbs up!
When I was actively gigging, we used Drop D enough that I kept one 6 string and a 12 string in Drop D and a 6 and 12 in Standard. It was faster and easier to swap guitars than going back and forth on just one guitar. We were playing traditional Irish and Scottish songs and Drop D just allows a drone like sound you can't get in standard. It also allowed me to arrange and perform a lot of O'Carolan's Harp tunes on guitar.
"Outshined" by Soundgarden is in Drop D. That was their killer riff for me in the early 90's.
Yes! Outshined has the heaviest intro of the early 90s.
One of their best songs
Agreed.
@@karmakultivator That whole album is great.
Looking California, and feeling Minnesota.
Ole Rick “Flex the Marshall and Orange stacks” Beato.
Not to mention the cool guitars!
Rick "buy my beato book" Beato.
I finally started to learn drop D tuning, so this video is perfect! GREAT CALL for Nirvana’s “On A Plain”. Way to be brother!
Darren, West Chester, PA
Always fun stuff from you Rick. Super educational esp for a non- instrument player / dj/ music geek like me.
“Outshined” by Soundgarden is the most Drop-D song ever, imho. Really love the inclusion of “It’s Love” by King’s X, btw.
Agree! 100%
Definitely outshined!
at least an honorable mention for Outshined
I cannot believe he didn’t include it.
And Spoonman is one of Soundgarden’s worst songs
I love how excited Rick got when playing "On A Plain"
It's not the first time
i love all your drop D riffs of all time you nailed it right on HEADSTOCK BROTHER ...
That was awesome, Rick. Interesting that three of the 10 drop-ders had formative exposure to Buzz from (the) Melvins. Kim even credits Buzz for showing him the drop-d. I'm not a guitar player, except in my mind, so I need things explained to me.
I'm working on a piece in DADGAD.
For my wife who died from Covid-19 last week. I'm writing on her account. RIP, Joy.
I'm composing a celebration of life.
That’s fucking beautiful man. I’m so sorry for your loss. Stay strong and write that song for her I’m sure she’d love it.
Ok boomer
@@bertsimpsan bro
@@bertsimpsan that's not even funny that meme died like 2 years ago
im so sorry man wishing you the best
“Outshined” by Soundgarden is absolutely KILLER drop-D riffage. As well as “Unsung” by Helmet.
Outshined utilizes drop D beautifully.
i also would've chose these over some on this list
Unsung should be there, it's an iconic drop D song
Really surprised both weren't included
Outshined is my go-to riff when trying out a guitar.
Such a great song!
I forgot just how talented Rick is in playing guitar. I really enjoy all of your input
sir.
Your top 4 are some of my favorite songs of all time. LOVE this!
I always loved playing Hum's "Stars". All the riffs are killer in that song.
Have you heard their new album? Killer guitar tones!
Hum are kings of Drop D. My favorite is probably I Hate It Too
I thought it might sneak on the list. Especially the palm muted 0-2-4 part in the chorus and the repeating riff at the end. SO HEAVY.
So much fun to play the bridge to Stars on the guitar cranked high. Their new album is awesome
I love that Hum song. I listen to it all the time out of childhood nostalgia. It's an awesome song like Everlong but it hasnt been overplayed and it's still fun to go back and listen to.
1:54 - Hey Man Nice Shot (Filter)
2:30 - The Beautiful People (Marilyn Manson)
3:35 - Nightmare (Avenged Sevenfold)
4:26 - Lay It Down (Ratt)
5:37 - It's Love (King's X)
7:24 - Everlong (Foo Fighters)
9:00 - On A Plain (Nirvana)
11:15 - Killing In The Name (Rage Against The Machine)
12:55 - Forty Six & 2 (Tool)
13:52 - Spoonman (Soundgarden)
Honourable mentions:
0:32 - Ohio (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young)
I fucking love you
@@jerryskid420 you are right man a few of the songs are good but overall the list is just awful.
Meantime - Helmet - I mean how can that not be on there? Wilma's rainbow? Hamilton had SO many good riffs....
@@jerryskid420 why are u here if you think that he is a horrible producer...
No Mention of Cinnamon Girl? (technically its double drop D because you drop the high e also). But what a great tune.
I really enjoyed that! Great pics!
I saw Van Halen at the House Of Blues in Orlando and they opened up with Unchained. What a kickass opener that was. Best opening to any show I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot. I started learning that one as soon as I got home and my ears were only ringing about 2/3 as loud.
3 things I want to say:
1. What a killer list!
2. What a great sound of that Gibson.
3. What a beast Rick is.
which one of them? (GIbsons)
A distorted guitar in drop d is my childhood
Cool vid man ... excellent list & rundown!!
You still have the chops my friend. I always enjoy your videos and look forward to the next one. Btw, you have an awesome collection of guitars!
Fun fact: Tom Morello has said in interviews he came up with the main riff for "Killing in the name of" while trying to give an example of what drop D tuning was to a guitar student of his...
Student of his what??? I really wanna know this fun fact to the end
@@juliabosse14jb he was teaching guitar i guess??
@@juliabosse14jb You need to learn English...
@@eddy5604 You need to learn English too.
@@randyxyt5562 OH STFU!
King's X could be all the Drop D songs on this list, IMO. So many brilliant Drop-D songs. Glad he included them.
YES! My fav is Fool You
Cigarettes
Dogman!
Lost In Germany is friggin' RIDICULOUS. What a riff!
They tune even lower, Drop B and A even
Love watching you play.
Brilliant stuff !
Makes me want to put my guitar in the cupboard.
I’m new to the channel and I’m continually impressed.
“Down” by STP has such a killer drop D riff.
Maybe STP's most underappreciated asskicker. I keep trying to get my cover band to play it .
Such a powerful song! So fun to play!
One of my favorites to play in this tuning. Definitely killer.
This!
@@Moviegod37 I'm putting together an STP tribute band... you play bass?
Queen had same good drop D songs. The most well known is "Fat Bottom Girls".
But two of their most powerful tracks: "Prophet's Song" and "White Man" are also drop D.
White Man is in my Top Ten songs, such a brilliant song, musically and lyrically.
Yesss Prophet's Song 😍 heavy as fuck
You are the man!! Thank you so much for your awesome content!!
Well this video made me subscribe to your channel! and opened me eyes to how valuable drop D was to my playing, especially the song HEY YES , by KINGS X
'Killing in the Name' is a strong contender for Riff of the '90s
which one? Two amazing riffs in one song.
@@KevinHwoarang Symphony of Destruction, Afraid to Shoot Strangers lick if not only counting power cord riffs
Every song on that first album would be
@@KevinHwoarang enter sandman??
I'm pretty sure it's standard E...
And freak on a leash, I'm pretty sure it's C standard or D standard.
@@dayanido d standard
Drop Dead Legs by Van Halen is another fantastic one. Velvet Revolver’s Slither is another good one.
I think Slither is Drop D flat actually... Slash always tunes a half step down
@@BekkersBelly You would think so, but that song is actually in standard drop D tuning
@@BekkersBelly it was standard drop d
Drop dead legs is drop c#
I think Drop Dead Legs is in standard tuning... it's just written in D
Man, Growing on Me from The Darkness... that is an amazing Drop D song, Love this video Rick!
All great riffs. Higher by creed has a special place in my heart. Love how Mark plays both rhythm and lead in one riff.
Always love it when Ty gets credit, where credit's due. Even Jerry Cantrell said he was inspired to DropD because of King's X.
"Unsung" by Helmet is definitely up there as well. Killer riff that just melts your face right off.
Yeah, definitely
Yes and the song In The Meantime. That whole album and Betty is a sick riff fest!
Unsung made me start playing in drop D. Never we 't back.
I was gonna say any Helmet track
Hell yeah
Great video Rick! Some of my fav's are Supernaut, We Die Young, Outshined and Dogman!
My favorite is Home, by Dream Theater. Absolute masterpiece
Thank you! I was looking for that one, it's a beast in its genre!
Lay it down - is probably the greatest 80's opening riff.
It’s pretty fucking awesome but...Unchained.
Cinnamon Girl. 😸 great list as is. Glad you put Lay It Down and On a Plain on it. I hated most of the 90’s rock though. I started going back in time. Tull. ELO. ELP. Camel. Infinitely more interesting than “Bush”.
You're in love was awesome too
@@leftyzappa agreed
Drown by Smashing Pumpkins is my favorite drop D riff (and song) of all time! Just something magical about it.
You are absolutely right! Spoonman is #1. When I was dabbling with guitar, it is one of the very few songs I ever learned to play. IT IS SO GOOD!
But then you have, In Flames - Zombie Inc., and that masterpiece of a solo that hardly anyone has ever heard of... :)
So glad to see Kings X on this list. Ty Tabor is a beast.
That King's X riff is both heavy and beautiful. Love it.
One thing this video taught me is that I need to listen to more King's X.
The first song that always comes to mind for me is "My Own Summer" by Deftones. Fun song to play to.
It's Drop C# not Drop D
Be Quiet and Drive is one that comes to mind here, pretty sure it’s Drop D
@@prestonray7241 nope, the whole Around The Fur album is in drop C#
Really? I always thought it was drop D
This the very first riffi I learned to play on guitar...
Now we need a Top 10 Drop C songs. Nice video Beato as always
Ty Tabor is one of the most criminally underrated guitarists ever
“Unsung” by Helmet was the first tune I learned in drop D, and I was hoping it would have made the list.
Helmet taught me the magnificence of the 0-3-4 (tab-speak) phrasing. Blacktop & Turned Out both shined for me, rockin' those main frets. In fact no heavy drop-D riffage practitioner from that era could go wrong with basically anything off Strap it On & Meantime. Melvins, Unsane, & Cherubs were also major drop-D bands at the time -- for me. In fact Melvins' Honey Bucket I would have to say is the most quintessential drop D tuning riff ever...gotta be a 5th apart to pull that off.
Few of these bands would have written their sad nümetal cookie cutter weakness without having Helmet to rip off.
It's Sinatra's world. We all just live here. (Free jazz solo)
would have*
@@phnelson033 Blacktop and Turned Out were/are THE best Helmet songs, IMO. We might be the same person :)
@@phnelson033 I was hoping if I scrolled down enough I'd find Honey Bucket on here.
Great call on Helmet too, people are missing on that band big time.
Helmet - Milquetoast. Now that’s a heavy riff
Pretty much every drop D Helmet riff is heavy lol, love them
It broke my heart that Helmet didn’t make this list, Meantime is entirely in Drop D. He almost redeemed himself with Spoonman at #1.
I love Drop D for lead on a 22 fret because you get the full four reach. And I use it on 12 string for the middle part of "Stairway to Heaven". Also good for "It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding" and "Rockin' Heaven Down". And I like to played "No Quarter" with a Les Paul in Dropped D with Roland Jazz Chorus with max vibrato instead of a keyboard.
As a bass player Spoonman is so much fun to play, and the chorus and breakdown riffs are good practice for speed, strength and consistency. Outshined is probably more fun though, coz that riff is mean as hell.
Velvet Revolver Slither, crazy riff that goes back on itself. Gotta love a bit of drop D
Led Zeppelin's Ten Years Gone has an absolutely beautiful drop D bridge. It's filled with so much sound but it doesn't feel heavy at all.
I was going to mention this. It's one that really should be in What Makes This Song Great, too. When I learned it, I played the entire thing in drop D.
Awesome video, love your selections and cheers!🤘🏼🔥🤘🏼
Thank you for recognizing Kings X. I love that band, their stuff was brilliant.
..IS (and continues to be) brilliant.
I can’t get enough of Rick listening to Nirvana. That is just pure excitement
Hum - “Stars” is a great one as well.
Ohh that’s right!! Goodness, love that track! XD
It’s a great song
Was just thinking about Hum myself. Good call
@@jaschul I could not believe there RIFFAGE on that album!
Agreed. Was gonna mention this myself. That riff at the end after the break is so great and the mix could have been better to really showcase it.
Just spot on. The reason I like u so Much! I KNOW that our tastes are fully on a level. We guitarists of a certain Era. Love it man.
I hope u keep up this kind of vids forever. Good luck and good life, sir :))
"Even Flow" and "Go" from Pearl Jam are pretty cool too
Yes they are!
Even Flow is in drop D?
@@InGrindWeCrust2010
Yeah, Stone's rhythm guitar part is tuned drop D.
hell yea
This!
I was so close to say "Them bones could be on the list" and then I get to the ending. You win this one, Rick, you win this one.
Them Bones is Drop C# otherwise it would probably be here, I know he has a fondness of it I’ve seen him bring it up a few times
He also said that’s why it didn’t make it in the video lol
The thing I love about Tom Morello is his unique style of tapping with the pickup selector on his telecaster. you can definitely see the Eddie Van Halen Influence in that.
Nice list Rick, I love playing Hey Man Nice Shot. One of my first drop D riffs I ever learned so fun to play. Idn if you have tried it before, but Rosetta Stoned by Tool is super fun and satisfying to play the 11/8 part great Drop D riff!
"Killing in the Name" is undeniable... it's impossible to not move to that riff. Right up there with Pantera's "Walk".
I’ve been playing since 2002 and have never played it once.
@@benjamindoverii2841 missing out
@@benjamindoverii2841 nobody said it was impossible to not play.
@@johnterpack3940 Too late now, after this video I had to go play it. I had fun.
walk is in d-standart
I’m a simple man, I see TOOL, I watch video
Yup!
Nailed it
Goat
You could put every Tool song on this list... But come on, 7empest, Lateralus, The Pot, let’s go
No way anything by Soundgarden beats TOOL on a drop D list. Spoonman sounds like Smoke on the Water by comparison.
Forty Six & Two is such a great compilation of heavy riffs and licks. Especially in the outtro when there is so much thick chunky sound in the riffs. Great nod to a great Tool song.
Great video Rick! RIP Chris. Your presence is still felt!
My first thought was “Slither” by Velvet Revolver.
Same here. Great riff.
yessss
Came here to suggest this
That album had some really strong material. I would have enjoyed a follow-up.
Monkey wrench?
The video has been cut down to 9 songs because “Hey Man Nice Shot” by Filter was blocked by their publisher. The only option was to trim it out of the video. Sorry!
Just to clarify a couple of things that I keep seeing on the comments, Unchained is in actually in Drop C#, Sad But True the entire guitar is tuned down a step and not in Drop D and Black Hole Sun is actually tuned a 1/4 step sharp because the sped the tape up. Try playing along with Black Hole Sun and you will see. Keep commenting! There are some really good suggestions in here :)
Thank you Rick for your channel. Deconstructing music and explaining structures and I guess the term is counterpoints, is so incredibly interesting.
I thought that the guitar from Sad But True was played by James while he was fighting the devil while standing on top of Hercules.
Just came here to comment I thought it was Chewbacca in the thumbnail...
You should do a video about lamb of god, and I'm honestly surprised you haven't yet... I'd suggest ashes of the wake track from the ashes of the wake album but there's alot of good ones from them🤘
thanks for the great video dont know a thing about drop tuning but im surprised Metallica didnt make the list
I saw Adam Jones in the thumbnail and immediately knew Rick was going to list fourty, 6 & 2 somewhere on this list.
Time to watch the video and confirm.
Yep. Called it.
Fat Bottom Girls?! Probably the first Drop D song I ever learned. It may not have signature "riff" but it definitely makes it heavier and fuller. I played for years in clubs and it always KILLED!!
Hell yes! For my money, that’s the best drop D song of all time. Brian May works magic with those opening riffs
@@jimsmith3029 If I'm in drop D I can't NOT play Fat Bottomed Girls
exactly what i thought, surprised it didn't make the list
Couldn't agree more. Best drop D tune ever.
5:50 KingsX, a power trio doing three part vocal harmonies, since the 80's- they are a true pioneering band
Tried covering this once with a band. We couldn’t play it and sing at this same time. They are amazing
Lost in Germany, The World Around Me, Dogman, Black Flag. Rick is right King X has many to choose from. Might need a Top 10 Kings X riffs😉
Black the Sky!
Ooh Song.
"Pillow" with a vengeance. Arguably the heaviest song in their canonical recordings.
Everlong is a minimalist masterpiece with so much energy.
Both the original and acoustic are amazing
Agreed
I keep ending up back on your vids, loved them over the years
