When SYSTEM OF A DOWN Only Give You 1 String...

Chop Suey but it's significantly more difficult to play. This is what System Of A Down sounds like on only 1 string.

I'm Pete, I play guitar! Having fun with metal guitar musician doing everything from modern metal, extended range 7 strings and 8 strings (sometimes only 1 string!) to thrash metal on a good old 6 string. Riffs in the styles of other bands, shredding and lots of fun with metal music!

Chop Suey but it's significantly more difficult to play lol :)

[@bobisadrummer]

What do you mean more difficult? It's only one string!🙃

[@joshwalker8824]

Do u ever get tired of making me want to throw my guitars in the trash. Thanks a lot...

[@DrownTheRabbitHole]

How so?! You seem to be KILLING it bro! Must be easy to do! ;p

[@abunai.j]

So awesome, man. Every time someone complains that their gear is why they can’t achieve something, I’m gonna play them this video. 🤘😑🤘

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! :)

[@ZurRuheGelegt]

Nice

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! :)

[@KRIS.7S]

That tapping parts are insane Pete, amazing as usual bro !!!!!!👏👏👏

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! :)

[@rotten_banana6405]

That was impressive! Super fun exercise, lots of SOAD songs are in drop and heavily rely on drop power chords and minor scales, toxicity would probably also sound incredible!

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! Toxicity is a great song too :)

[@msi1985]

Loved it! Did more with one string then MGK does with 6 haha 😄

[@jonathanmusic003]

This perfectly illustrates the beauty of some of this songs melodies!

[@mopsandmuscles7855]

Leave it to you to give us music content we didn't know we needed. 🤘🏻

[@peteplaysmusic]

Haha thanks, I will take that as a compliment! :)

[@mopsandmuscles7855]

@@peteplaysmusic I've been fascinated by your videos for years, and it surprises me you don't have more subscribers.

[@andrewpappas9311]

That was incredible, man, loved the tapping at the beginning

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! :)

[@andrewpappas9311]

@@peteplaysmusic A lot of SOAD songs could work since some of them just use a lot of chromatics (Sugar, Suite-Pee, Psycho, etc.) but I still fuckng loved this, keep it up man

[@stuartavis8165]

What madness possessed you to even think about attempting this? You absolutely knocked it out of the park. Nailed it. How the hell do you top this?

[@peteplaysmusic]

Haha thanks! I think I know which band I’m doing next :)

[@METAlMASTERBRASIL]

Show show .pete pete ..
LUISAO GUITARS CHANEL

[@Metalkorpse]

Wow! I've seen many one string videos. This by far was the most impressive one!

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thank you so much! :)

[@Metalkorpse]

@@peteplaysmusic I can hear the boy from Oliver Twist... "More 1 string please..."

[@ThatGuney]

This sounds like something SOAD would do to you as a joke

[@ash10ashofficial63]

But the sad truth is your name doesn't end with "ian" or "yan" so you can't join 😞

[@GreigSills]

Smashed it man! Sounds like SOAD done by Gojira which is better to me 😊

[@peteplaysmusic]

Haha yeah I guess with all the tapping it is kinda like Gojira. Thanks! :)

[@FR34K_666]

This man is too powerful...

[@anvil777]

That was beautiful Pete! Great job

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! :)

[@matiasmorales073]

Quite cool, interisting sounds too given that it's only one string

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! Haha yeah, I didn't actually know if it was possible when I started but it came out pretty good! :)

[@jeffreymartinez5829]

Them: You can't play a song on one string! Pete: Hold my beer.
Kidding aside, that was awesome, man. Classic song played with a twist; I love it!

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! :)

When you're supposed to record a SOAD video but feel like playing Gojira instead

[@jeffleecust]

You play it better with one string than I do on 6

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@ShrubPlays]

Okay this is like actually surprisingly good though.

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! :)

@@peteplaysmusic Your journey has been awesome to see. Always dig your videos. Keep it up 🤘

[@nv_chino]

That was cool man. I should’ve gotten into guitar with my dad long time ago but never did , shits badass

[@uwvadertje]

Look up any Acid King album if u want some potential inspiration for a new video.

[@RegSinister]

This is amazing! This vid puts you up there with Rob Scallon.

[@peteplaysmusic]

Haha thanks! I will take that as a compliment. Rob is amazing :)

[@linats1008]

Idk why but in some parts it sounds very much like a Tool song

[@michal2708]

Great! But why do you usually have 6 strings if 1 is enough?

[@uesrname12]

thats one hell of a skill! using only one string 😆 have you done a guitar tone video before? it sounds simple yet insanr

[@renanfreitas92]

He plays better with only one string than Daron Malakian with six.

[@stratonut]

rather listen to this over the original

[@peteplaysmusic]

Haha, I'll take that as a compliment :)

[@lil_weird9860]

CHOP SUEY, YESSSSS. Can you do BYOB next :D

Amazing!! You rock dude!

That was beautiful, Pete!

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! :)

[@wynnlowehart2831]

Dude that was sweet love that tone too dude kick ass

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! Yeah I really like the clean tone here, it's the neck pickup on the 'Devin Clean' preset in EZ Mix 2 with a bunch of compression added :)

[@SmacklePop_]

...Why's that, Pete?...

[@PhilippeArantesTina]

Just the fact of Moving the strings and restring the guitar fort à 2minutes video deserves a like. I avoid restring the guitar as much as i can cause it's so boring!!!!!

[@peteplaysmusic]

Haha yeah, I don’t like restringing that much either. Locking Tuners really help speed up restringing though :)

[@nikkmorse]

As always....'kin awesome 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼

alright now do question, intro and all. Do it. you won't.

[@peteplaysmusic]

Haha that would be fun :)

[@drknmunky1]

well done Pete, its pretty hard to beat the original on a classic like this one but yours its way up there 🤘

[@peteplaysmusic]

Thanks! :)

[@sixsledges5474]

you can play many of their songs on just one string actually.

[@sixsledges5474]

prison song for example or holy mountains (the rhytm part at least)

[@jurrianvanParreeren]

And of course it's played on the A string

[@peteplaysmusic]

As SOAD tunes to Drop C, this is actually tuned to G as it would be the 5th string in Drop C tuning. I was expecting to tune to C but G worked way better. Thanks for watching! :)

[@A_Modern_Metal_Guy]

This is so cool, Great Job man.

gauge?
no but srsly im also playing a harley r458 and i gotta say i hope as they get more popular they dont raise their prices, mine was a fucking steal of an 8 string and yours was probably a bargain too

[@peteplaysmusic]

38 gauge, I think haha. Harley Benton make some great guitars for the money :)

oh yea its not a c2 its a c3 right? was expecting like a 50+ gauge

Well its more doomy version, sounds like had be played by candlemass or something but it's regonizable so for one string effort is a hell of a good work.

I was definitely going for a Doom vibe at the end with the Octave pedal haha. Thanks! :)
