I died laughing at the "all on one string" bit. A few years back, I was filling in for the guitarist in my friends' band for a tour.

He didnt even play a single chord. I keep waiting for Ibanez to release a one string guitar with a cable from the Golden Gate bridge on it, tuned to like 4hz. Some geologist with a seismograph, a toilet paper roll in his nose and spare tires from a Prius in his ears is going, "You just dont understand it, that's all."
"Forever out of style, you can't take this away from me" As someone who loves Power Metal, I felt this line. Power Metal has never been a popular genre, but I don't care. In fact, it's inspired me to pick up a guitar, at 28. I could only listen to it so much, before I say "I wanna play this stuff". I feel like at 28, I have more disire, and motivation to want to learn, than I ever did as a teenager. Looking forward to become a shredder one day! 🤘
Power metal does have its flaws nowadays (eg. too many gimmick bands playing heavy arena rock and overproduction), power metal for the most part has remained relatively true to its roots.
@@SarimFaruque The only 2 gimmick bands off the top of my head I thoroughly enjoy unironically is Gloryhammer, and Wind Rose. They both just make great stuff. I keep with new releases as much as possible, and I honestly think the gimmick bands are not a plentiful as people think.

Very true. Its so satisfying when you make it work, I feel You can create beautiful songs if you attune yourself to where the bass is going music wise. Low strings on a guitar and bass have such different sound-textures, so it can really compliment eachother. Especially when the bass plays in a mid-high register while you're playing low bass notes ánd the high melody on top. (hybrid picking or just strumming) then you can switch it around, guitar playing mid & high while the bass goes back down. But still, that could be aquired with a 6-string baritone and some creativity. (which is very much more comfortable and easy)
Yeah, and it takes to be a true genius to know how to properly compose through it. As Dimebag (R.I.P.) said in some interview about Jerry Cantrell, it's the same about Mårten Hagström: he doesn't need to play a million notes to be a (rhythm) Guitar God...
Modern metal bands that have songs in standard or Eb tuning is always a plus for me. Tasteful guitar solos, bass that have it's own space in the mix. Breath of fresh air.
@@Chevrolicious. well I don't know what to call them but metal. They have more heavy songs than non heavy. Some call them grunge but it's just an era to me. Grunge has too many different sounds.
After listening to this song once it was stuck in my head for days. I have listened to it again and again and have come to the conclusion that you still shred! Love the song and the satire. Just wish I was in Europe for your tour... Keep on shredding my friend!
This is also probably part of why I found old Megadeth stuff so entertaining when I got back to it recently after a long pause. It's now sounding new when people DON'T downtune af 😂
Proto metal is some of my favorite like early Priest where it's still kinda looking like hard rock. If everything is loud then nothing is. Sabbath would have those beautiful melodic bits which just meant the heavy stuff would hit heavier. Early Metallica did the same.
My old band was playing in drop B which was pretty low. But when we went into the studio suddenly they were like we decided to record in A. I told them it was a bad idea because it would be too muddy for the leads as they stand now and they said no it will be great. After it was mixed and we sat on it for a month, they hated it.
@mickkithanu355 honestly although playing with that band was fun in B I prefer to not go any lower than drop C# which I believe is was what Protest the hero started in and comeback kid and I'm sure a million other bands.
@@WeWynne C and C# were classic tunings for most older metalcore back up until around 2014 ish when people started pushing really low. I’m not sure if it’s because they found gear that would do it or if it had to do with labels.
@@ArcticBlits Yeah My band Treachery Is Your Forte played in C# that was like 2006-09 then Bow To The Fallen in 2014 went B to A. lol I left right after but my son was also born right then too so perfect timing.
Funny thing is, There was a historian specialized in baroque instruments amongst others, And the trend to fit lower and lower bass strings on their instrument used to be a thing then. Its not anything new. But I'm pretty sure the guys in the olden days did actually still use their higher strings. An 8 string is beautiful if you're a hybrid picker of when used to compliment huge chords with low and warm bass notes. (I still prefer my 6-string baritone or 7 string for actually playing heavy rythm guitar)
The way you describe 8 string reminds me of Deftones guitarist, Stephen Carpenter - love to play his stuff on baritone:) The huge chords just sound sooo good with addition of low F# or E into it, like in Swerve City, or Diamond Eyes, for example
@Akimbo Goats there's hardly a "few" bands that do that, its pretty common. just a lot of the more popular alt metal/metalcore is boring chugging, but prog, deathcore etc. have plenty of variety
@@SrgntSprnkls77 I love the old school Neo-classical type shred cause it's what brought me to guitar, but I also listen to a lot of other sub-genres, so I have a hard time differentiating what's what.
I find it funny how so often songs made to satirize a style end up actually being awesome! Like when people TRY to make something then it ends up just being generic and unoriginal, then someone makes fun of it and sounds awesome!
Incredible one here Bernth! Reminds me a little bit of the Brendon Small / Dethklok style where they are somewhat parody but still take the song writing seriously.
Love this, laughed so hard 🤣🤣 Still you rocked it hard!!! Ngl the lowest I dropped was one down to D... that was enigh for me. Cant wait to see you in October
Yeah, I play an 8 string with a low F# sometimes E, sometimes on VERY RARE OCCASIONS, would I drop the lowest string down to a C#, and this was too much for even me.
Nice video Bernth 👍👍👍 Getting straight to the issue. 1. Lack of solo, shredding 2. Undermining bass role 3. Overemphasizing "breakdown" 4. Overemphasizing "growl" (there are many other types of metal screaming/vocal you know, like in this video) 5. Stale, uncreative & uninspired riff, lick Yes, that's pretty much the problem with modern metal (I'm generalizing here). The aforementioned problems are prevalent in metalcore, nu metal & the likes. You can still find quality elements in traditional metal genres, power metal, heavy metal etc.
@@yangerjamir0906 And Charles Berthoud the most skilled (but humble) bassist. Also, Polyphia is right now pioneering a new era for music, blending influences from metal, jazz and trap into a whirlwind of virtuoso and catchiness.
Here I am with an acoustic 12 string in standard e tuning with a cap on the 7th fret fingerpicking Paul Simon or John Denver. High, brittle, fragile, delicate and gentle little crystals of music. Meanwhile, knee deep in sewage, staring into the stinking maw of the hellmouth…
Them kids nowadays haven't heard about the bass guitar. Instead then tune down their guitars way the f*ck down. I'll admit it sounds grungy af but it doesn't scratch my bass itch. First time I heard the tone of a bass guitar I fell in love. I love guitar but the bass guitar is my spirit instrument.
😂 definitely makes a point. I will say tho that I know for a fact that when it comes to “metal” there is most definitely a whole spectrum of how it is viewed. It’s actually very interesting especially when it comes to what people think of as “heavy”. In my personal experience it seems people that are more into the classic dad metal just are in no way impressed or excited by the sound of a modern “breakdown” I feel like the context of how someone got into metal plays a big role on how they ultimately will view it as a whole.
The older vets that are into the classic sound that you alluded to understand that heaviness comes from CONTRAST, like for example having soft sounding acoustic guitar passages embedded into the entirety of a blistering track. The groove-laden version of Pantera (their post-glam selves) and everything that followed in its footsteps spawned a new generation of listeners and players who are cut from a different cloth. The "core" elements and the breakdown is what defines "heavy" for these (predominantly younger) folks, not CONTRAST. I say this "modern" sound is a different genre of music altogether, not metal, but that'll just fall upon deaf ears around these parts with accusations of me being elitist or some noggin' so it's useless to elaborate further.
@@dreamstorm3297 People get hung up on and possessive of their words, and it devolves into elementary schoolyard shouting matches. "Metal means _this_ - no metal means _that_ ..." Then of course you have the endless parade of adjectives trying out-heavy each other. Thrash metal, black metal, doom metal, death metal, sludge metal, ooze metal, puke metal, prog metal, metalcore, deathcore, punk metal, metal gear solid...Personally I gave up on paying attention to the names. Finding a good band is like finding true love - impossible to put into words, but you know it when it happens, and it hits everyone different.
This is the most creative thing I’ve seen! Shared… I greatly appreciate all the effort you put into all of the free lessons! Exercise, habit training, etc…. I save your videos to watch again when I can focus! After many years of trying some legato technique and other shred stuff, I had to come to grip with myself, realizing I’ll never play like Yngwie! You play so clean I hear every…. Single…. Note… So whatever your advice I’m taking it. I look forward to someday making videos, soon. Would love to share the knowledge of percussive acoustic, neo-classical stylings that any acoustic player could benefit from. For my own good I have some fun BOSS pedals to play with. I’m looking forward to picking up some cleanliness in speed! Thanks to you,dear brother
awesome. you just explained why I prefer older metal, you, and charles berthoud. couldnt put it in words since I'm not music savvy but that's the nail on the head. before megadeth, there was cacophony, freaking awesome if you havent heard em'.
as a Megadeth and Cacophany fan (Marty Friedman and Jason Becker are insane) I urge you to check out Pantheum by First Fragment 80s neo-classical shred + modern technical death metal the classical vibes are NOT cheesy or sparse, they clearly studied this shit and it extends the full length of each of their songs and while they don't do "modern Metalcore breakdowns" they have their own take on it that they call Swingdowns (which no one else it calls it that, so it's not really a thing LOL but I do love the idea) where their breakdown sections are swung fretless bass shred all of the place, drummer is insane at gravity blasts and blastbeats, but the guitars are SO melodic and fun but shreddy as fuck I simp for this band, please check them out LOL
I think it’s amazing how far metal has come. I’m all for the modern approach-I think the coolest style so far has to be “Thall” I don’t like the lyrical themes honestly, but I love the sounds being produced from the guitar. I’m curious just how far into the future we can go with Metal. I welcome lower tunings. Guitars now are being built to withstand these recent modern styles. Embrace the culture my friend.
it was an elegant mix, as I grew listening to shredders from early 80's until the 2000's, I can say that I heard every possible way to "shred", still nice to hear from time to time now, when it's at the right place at the right time, like here for example 😉 have a good tour!!!
I can only say, Bernth is one of the most creative and technical guitar musician from modern times, every song I have listened from this guy is perfection.
I was just thinking about this the other day. When I first started playing about 10 years ago, I felt like a lot of heavy stuff was in Drop C. Now you need a 7 or 8 string to be able to play what is coming out nowadays.
Absolutely beautiful, man! This sounds absolutely lovely! Hey btw, is there a name for that particular kind of yelling vocal? It's quite nice. I like the power behind it. It's not like an angry yell, but a battle cry, eh? I'm actually quite new to metal and so far I'm liking Celldweller and The Enigma TNG, aka am a power and industrial metal fan, but I think I just found a new author to explore.
There isn't a name for it. There should be. Harsh cleans? Devin Townsend from Strapping Young Lad and Joe Duplantier from Gojira do it very well IMO. Check those bands out if you like that kinda thing
@@batastrophic9762 Honestly, tried but couldn't like them. Anyways, call it power vocals maybe? idk I've heard it in about the only power metal track I've heard. Right now I'm more of a The Enigma TNG fan. Branching out is difficult I find here given there's a number of things that must be avoided morally. Put that on top of my personal taste and tell me the probability distribution isn't needle-thin. Instrumentals are certainly safer.
@@andrewporter1868All good! Sorry to hear they weren't to your liking. I find those kinda vox aren't common in power metal, to my ears anyway. I think they ought to be. I do think some power metal vocal styles are adjacent to it. Russell Allan from Symphony X gets close. He's great, but never been huge in him. I prefer the likes of Tony Kakko from Sonata Arctica or Yannis Papadopoulos from Beast in Black (Beast in Black are pretty sweet, I'd say they're my 2nd fav power metal band currently). I'm not sure of you moral thresholds, so I can't help you there. I'm quite open-ended if not open-minded, I'll basically try most metal except NSBM (i.e: fuck nazis). Personal taste I can greatly empathise with you there haha. I haven't heard of or listened to The Enigma TNG, maybe I'll check him out.
@@batastrophic9762 Glad to make your acquaintance! For an example of the power metal vocals I'm talking about, consider In the Dawn of the AI by Orden Ogan. So far I'd say my top metal genres are deathcore, power, nu, and industrial. > moral thresholds I'm a tradcath sedevacantist who adheres to the Thesis of Cassiciacum 😄For reference, in terms of metal, I found a spotify playlist the other day with 532 metal tracks, most of which were death metal from what I recall. Only 18 survived to make it into my daily playlist; another 12 I've saved for further analysis. Most of the issue morally is when it's too excessive in certain respects. Of the tracks that survived were tracks from Analepsy, Guttural Slug, Fear Factory, and Slaughter to Prevail. Those that did not were because of: excessive glorifying of gory or vulgar things of that nature; the band is into actual occultism or straight up satanism _literally,_ or which merely uses certain such symbols from those false ideologies perhaps "as a matter of style", both the blatant and the unobvious that I'm aware of; poor presentation of suicide and other serious topics that could scandalize the suicidal or otherwise imply it is morally good; or some other sort of problem (always with the lyrics themselves). Dark topics, horror, and the like are all fine to talk about. It's how they're spoken of that is the issue. Hell by Slaughter to Prevail for instance is one of the said tracks that made it into my daily playlist (eventually; took a while to translate) because it speaks of its horrors without glorifying Hell. A common reason, however, for which any song doesn't end up passing is due to vulgar language, even for just one word, though those that are "off by one" morally I've set aside for future consideration as my knowledge of the Law is not absolutely perfect, and would hope that there's some possibility I failed to cover that would render such _tolerable_ (as opposed to condemned outright which I do in most cases of doubt such as this). If nothing else, I hope you find this to be an interesting conversation 😁
Fucking solid riffs and vocals, this is a total jam and I appreciate the mix of parody with the solid work! You need a part two though parodying how many modern metal vocalists don't enunciate in their screams and growls, maybe mix it up with those crystal clear screams you've got there but then switch throughout and just make noises but put subtitles to them as if they were actually words while cupping a mic.
I agree 100%. Shredmaster Scott is a great guy, and a great player. I love the unity among guitarists now. Glad to see that we've gotten away from the "gunslinger" mindset from the 80s. We're WAY more supportive now.
Not at all what I was expecting but i love it! hahaha I was beginning to think i was all alone with my slight hatred for low tuning on guitars. The shred is where its at! Great work!
My 5 year old heard this song when I was playing it on Spotify. She asked when I will be this good on the guitar. (Made my girlfriend spit out her drink)
I generally love the sound of very low tuned guitars, especially if the music is skilfully written with that specific sound in mind. That being said, this song shreds and I'm all for that, too. 😆🤘
Haha confession time - seriously in 30 years, the only time I have tuned down is to play something half a tone lower etc 😂 I just never tune down and I don’t play many songs that do lol This was an amazing tune too BTW Bernth
As a long time 7 string player who bought an 8 string, I'm just gonna say idk man. An 8 string feels totally different from a 7, and it's hard to find a musical use for that 8th string that doesn't sound like djenty shit.
@@Eliphas_ElricCheck out Stephen Carpenter from Deftones - dude had lots of use for 8 strings, both melodic and heavy. Personally, 8 string can really go hard in creating atmosphere too. Another example os Thornhill - The Hellfire Club. It's a 6 string baritone, tuned to Drop D octave down, yet it's a very melodic song, with a slow solo near the end. Low range can provide interesting chords, imo.
New subscriber here. This was awesome. I am an early 2000s teen and always loved tuning lower. I remember thinking how badass Drop A was(still is) and thinking it was extremely low(still is). The 8 string infatuation went way too far in the metal scene. Too many guitarists didn't know how to really use that range appropriately and now it's become a battle of who can tune down the furthest. Now we have all these Gen Z and young millenials obsessed with playing guitars that sound like a bass.
They don't sound like bass. Most bass players are so lazy to create a stong enough tone to back up the low tuned guitar. Listen Heart Of A Coward-Severence album.
@@KatyaLishchMeshuggah is one of the few who use low tuning and actually make interesting riffs. Orbit Culture does a decent job too. Most Metalcore is just 0-0-0-0 0-0-0-0 with no inflection or variation in rhythm.
What I really dislike in this new trend is that breakdowns are now utilizing one string only. I think they sound much heavier with a higher tuning but with 2 strings. CG etc... Nobody does that anymore :(
YES!!! Remember when metal guitarists sounded classically trained and had complex, intricate solos and riffs? Magical sounds that carries weight and emotion
That isn't the problem. It's the emotion and tone that never changes. Modern American metal sounds fantastic. It's just all the same feel. It's boring. It's not that it isn't good. There is zero variety. I've been listening to Japanese metal. It isn't like that. It's happy, it's sad. They sing they rap. They use vocal effects. They don't give a F about genres. It's creative. I recommend Hanabie 'Pardon Me' or Babymetal 'Monochrome' or Nemophila 'Dissension'.
@@DerrickBarrows Some other bands that are great out of Japan. Band-Maid 'Dice' Bridear 'Light in the Dark' Trident 'Voltage' Lovebites 'Set the World on Fire' Broken by the Scream 'Sayonara Birthday' All female all of them. All metal except for Band-Maid that is hard rock.
Got this on spotify on repeat.... i cant turn it up loud enough! Such a simple masterpeice that speaks all the truth! Coming from someone that can only play killer, deep riffs 😂
THANK YOU!!!!! As an older metal head, this trend drives me crazy! Its not just the drop tuning, but altering the structure of the strings to play power chords with 1 finger. " Learn to play your instrument." At first, I thought this song was parody, but it rocks, has a great message, and it's catchy!
It’s so cool Meshuggah has been around longer than even the Melvins, I think, & to think how they originally modified six string guitars to make their sounds. I guess I just mention that because it’s like if people are so hardcore, maybe they should try it from the ground up same as the exempli gratia of low tunings & amazing musicianship! & thanks for your awesome content🤘😈🤘

@mickkithanu355 honestly although playing with that band was fun in B I prefer to not go any lower than drop C# which I believe is was what Protest the hero started in and comeback kid and I'm sure a million other bands.
@@WeWynne C and C# were classic tunings for most older metalcore back up until around 2014 ish when people started pushing really low. I’m not sure if it’s because they found gear that would do it or if it had to do with labels.
@@ArcticBlits Yeah My band Treachery Is Your Forte played in C# that was like 2006-09 then Bow To The Fallen in 2014 went B to A. lol I left right after but my son was also born right then too so perfect timing.
Lowest I go is drop D
“Why don’t you learn to play your instrument instead”
That one hurt Lmao
Because it sounds boring when the instrument is played correctly.
It doesn't go hard bro.

Funny thing is,
There was a historian specialized in baroque instruments amongst others,
And the trend to fit lower and lower bass strings on their instrument used to be a thing then. Its not anything new.
But I'm pretty sure the guys in the olden days did actually still use their higher strings.
An 8 string is beautiful if you're a hybrid picker of when used to compliment huge chords with low and warm bass notes. (I still prefer my 6-string baritone or 7 string for actually playing heavy rythm guitar)
The way you describe 8 string reminds me of Deftones guitarist, Stephen Carpenter - love to play his stuff on baritone:) The huge chords just sound sooo good with addition of low F# or E into it, like in Swerve City, or Diamond Eyes, for example
This is AWESOME!!! The satire. The music. The SHREDDING!!! It's all great!!! 🤘😝
Honestly why I cherish the bands who do both, will always enjoy songs with lows, shredding, and heavy breakdowns.
Whitechapel is one of the few bands I’ve found that do that
@@akimbogoats6301 Yea, Shadow of Intent kinda does, and I think Chelsea Grin, there are a few more that I'm forgetting.
Animals as Leaders does this on average like 50% of every album
@Akimbo Goats there's hardly a "few" bands that do that, its pretty common. just a lot of the more popular alt metal/metalcore is boring chugging, but prog, deathcore etc. have plenty of variety
@@SrgntSprnkls77
I love the old school Neo-classical type shred cause it's what brought me to guitar, but I also listen to a lot of other sub-genres, so I have a hard time differentiating what's what.
Now EVERYtime I close my eyes 👁👁I see Bernth's face saying "I Still Shred" and this song's been playing in my head all day..😃👍👍👍
I feel like the song will haunt me at least this evening.
LMAO! True. We got a drop B tuning and that's it. Won't go any lower than that. At that point we can't hear the clarity of the Guitar anymore. 😭
With the right tone and production it can be crystal clear in A
If you level the bass higher and distort it a little it can work better
I find it funny how so often songs made to satirize a style end up actually being awesome! Like when people TRY to make something then it ends up just being generic and unoriginal, then someone makes fun of it and sounds awesome!
Nothing like a troll song that absolutely slaps. Well done, sir.
Incredible one here Bernth! Reminds me a little bit of the Brendon Small / Dethklok style where they are somewhat parody but still take the song writing seriously.
Love this, laughed so hard 🤣🤣
Still you rocked it hard!!! Ngl the lowest I dropped was one down to D... that was enigh for me. Cant wait to see you in October
Thanks for listening! See you soon! 🤘
Yeah, I play an 8 string with a low F# sometimes E, sometimes on VERY RARE OCCASIONS, would I drop the lowest string down to a C#, and this was too much for even me.
@@crownjewel555 bro that's just an 8 string bass at that point 😂😂😂
@@colescroggins2896 i got a tip for you
bass
Nice video Bernth 👍👍👍
Getting straight to the issue.
1. Lack of solo, shredding
2. Undermining bass role
3. Overemphasizing "breakdown"
4. Overemphasizing "growl" (there are many other types of metal screaming/vocal you know, like in this video)
5. Stale, uncreative & uninspired riff, lick
Yes, that's pretty much the problem with modern metal (I'm generalizing here). The aforementioned problems are prevalent in metalcore, nu metal & the likes. You can still find quality elements in traditional metal genres, power metal, heavy metal etc.
niiiice! love the sound. very funny lirics also. awesome music production.... great content!
Probably my favorite so far. It just gives me the energy to SHRED like never before
Oh man, I am jamming the 0-0-0-0 riff on my 8-string to this! Great stuff! ❤️🙌
If you have enough strings, you don't need to play anything but 0s
In or out of style, quality shredding speaks for itself, and that's no joke!
I'm a very new guitarist 6 months along, and I always love to see Bernth play and hope I can play like that eventually or maybe just kind of close lol
:( I saw the thumbnail and was like. Ok nasty bend breakdown.. than was given shred!! Which is equally as exciting
I love this more than I thought I would. Keep up the great content!
That was pretty awesome! I can't shredd as hard as you do, but I try to make it a point to put a cool guitar solo in every song.🤘
The rythm, the solos, the lyrics the vocals...bernth, the man man that turn to gold whatever he touches
Cool song, & your shredding is nice! I also enjoyed the low tuning business in your playing! (I just grind out low-tuned stuff all day😅.)
As a 7 string player, this hit a personal spot. It really is tempting to just go as low as possible and only use that lowest string
YES! 6 strings in Std E tuning for life!
Good enough for Jason Becker, good enough for me
You've got to be one of the most creative musician on RUclips.
Creative yes, but this idea has already been made into a song years ago (But does it Djent??)
I actually think the Kiffness is the most creative artist on RUclips right now.
@@iamrubenmes I've got to check him out...thanks for the suggestion.
@@yangerjamir0906 And Charles Berthoud the most skilled (but humble) bassist. Also, Polyphia is right now pioneering a new era for music, blending influences from metal, jazz and trap into a whirlwind of virtuoso and catchiness.
That is definitely Dean Lamb at the end. Fuckin shredtastic
Yes. I thought the same thing. Archspire 🤘
Man's taken a page from the Gangsta Rap book and started a beef against the industry for not upholding standards.
I like it
Skwisgaar Skwigelf: Dudes, we can'ts nots toning down any lower.
the phraze "I still shred" before the breakdown hits so hard it's hillarious. I love it!
Im glad you made this. Most metal band riffs now would be basic beginner lessons without the heavy distortion. Metal is a joke.
becoming more and more of a fan of you bernth! loved this!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Here I am with an acoustic 12 string in standard e tuning with a cap on the 7th fret fingerpicking Paul Simon or John Denver.
High, brittle, fragile, delicate and gentle little crystals of music.
Meanwhile, knee deep in sewage, staring into the stinking maw of the hellmouth…
Them kids nowadays haven't heard about the bass guitar. Instead then tune down their guitars way the f*ck down. I'll admit it sounds grungy af but it doesn't scratch my bass itch.
First time I heard the tone of a bass guitar I fell in love. I love guitar but the bass guitar is my spirit instrument.
😂 definitely makes a point. I will say tho that I know for a fact that when it comes to “metal” there is most definitely a whole spectrum of how it is viewed. It’s actually very interesting especially when it comes to what people think of as “heavy”. In my personal experience it seems people that are more into the classic dad metal just are in no way impressed or excited by the sound of a modern “breakdown” I feel like the context of how someone got into metal plays a big role on how they ultimately will view it as a whole.
The older vets that are into the classic sound that you alluded to understand that heaviness comes from CONTRAST, like for example having soft sounding acoustic guitar passages embedded into the entirety of a blistering track. The groove-laden version of Pantera (their post-glam selves) and everything that followed in its footsteps spawned a new generation of listeners and players who are cut from a different cloth. The "core" elements and the breakdown is what defines "heavy" for these (predominantly younger) folks, not CONTRAST. I say this "modern" sound is a different genre of music altogether, not metal, but that'll just fall upon deaf ears around these parts with accusations of me being elitist or some noggin' so it's useless to elaborate further.
@@dreamstorm3297 People get hung up on and possessive of their words, and it devolves into elementary schoolyard shouting matches. "Metal means _this_ - no metal means _that_ ..." Then of course you have the endless parade of adjectives trying out-heavy each other. Thrash metal, black metal, doom metal, death metal, sludge metal, ooze metal, puke metal, prog metal, metalcore, deathcore, punk metal, metal gear solid...Personally I gave up on paying attention to the names. Finding a good band is like finding true love - impossible to put into words, but you know it when it happens, and it hits everyone different.
Finally someone had to say it.
Best of success my friend.
Abrazo Mexicano!!!
🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻
Say what?
damn man, I remember during the metalcore days how people say shredding and solos are old school.
Thank god they brought it back
This is the most creative thing I’ve seen! Shared… I greatly appreciate all the effort you put into all of the free lessons! Exercise, habit training, etc…. I save your videos to watch again when I can focus! After many years of trying some legato technique and other shred stuff, I had to come to grip with myself, realizing I’ll never play like Yngwie! You play so clean I hear every…. Single…. Note… So whatever your advice I’m taking it. I look forward to someday making videos, soon. Would love to share the knowledge of percussive acoustic, neo-classical stylings that any acoustic player could benefit from. For my own good I have some fun BOSS pedals to play with. I’m looking forward to picking up some cleanliness in speed! Thanks to you,dear brother
Fuck yeah man please keep bringing the fuckin finger fire my dude! It's not dead just dormant and waiting for a good class of listeners to return.
Obligatory idea for a parody of a parody:
"... I'm still Shrek!"
Love it , love it how you merged both modern and 80S shred and how it became a fun song and sort of a cpmmentary for and about both
awesome. you just explained why I prefer older metal, you, and charles berthoud.
couldnt put it in words since I'm not music savvy but that's the nail on the head.
before megadeth, there was cacophony, freaking awesome if you havent heard em'.
as a Megadeth and Cacophany fan (Marty Friedman and Jason Becker are insane) I urge you to check out Pantheum by First Fragment
80s neo-classical shred + modern technical death metal
the classical vibes are NOT cheesy or sparse, they clearly studied this shit and it extends the full length of each of their songs
and while they don't do "modern Metalcore breakdowns" they have their own take on it that they call Swingdowns (which no one else it calls it that, so it's not really a thing LOL but I do love the idea) where their breakdown sections are swung
fretless bass shred all of the place, drummer is insane at gravity blasts and blastbeats, but the guitars are SO melodic and fun but shreddy as fuck
I simp for this band, please check them out LOL
It reminds me of Dethklok. 😂😂😂 However, you pull it off beautifully! Nice work.
I think it’s amazing how far metal has come. I’m all for the modern approach-I think the coolest style so far has to be “Thall” I don’t like the lyrical themes honestly, but I love the sounds being produced from the guitar. I’m curious just how far into the future we can go with Metal. I welcome lower tunings. Guitars now are being built to withstand these recent modern styles. Embrace the culture my friend.
it was an elegant mix, as I grew listening to shredders from early 80's until the 2000's, I can say that I heard every possible way to "shred", still nice to hear from time to time now, when it's at the right place at the right time, like here for example 😉 have a good tour!!!
I can only say, Bernth is one of the most creative and technical guitar musician from modern times, every song I have listened from this guy is perfection.
Jesus Christ listen to real players instead of modern metal RUclips darlings
This is sooooo great.....the lyrics had me dying laughing !
Go ahead Bernth🎶
Bro this is actually fire!! The lyrics have meaning and everything instead if people just screaming!😂❤❤
I was just thinking about this the other day. When I first started playing about 10 years ago, I felt like a lot of heavy stuff was in Drop C. Now you need a 7 or 8 string to be able to play what is coming out nowadays.
I still think Opeth’s ‘Blackwater Park’ has the heaviest riff ever and that’s only in drop D. It’s not the tuning, it’s how you use it
Absolutely beautiful, man! This sounds absolutely lovely! Hey btw, is there a name for that particular kind of yelling vocal? It's quite nice. I like the power behind it. It's not like an angry yell, but a battle cry, eh? I'm actually quite new to metal and so far I'm liking Celldweller and The Enigma TNG, aka am a power and industrial metal fan, but I think I just found a new author to explore.
There isn't a name for it. There should be. Harsh cleans? Devin Townsend from Strapping Young Lad and Joe Duplantier from Gojira do it very well IMO. Check those bands out if you like that kinda thing
@@batastrophic9762 Nice, thanks for the suggestions!
@@batastrophic9762 Honestly, tried but couldn't like them. Anyways, call it power vocals maybe? idk I've heard it in about the only power metal track I've heard. Right now I'm more of a The Enigma TNG fan. Branching out is difficult I find here given there's a number of things that must be avoided morally. Put that on top of my personal taste and tell me the probability distribution isn't needle-thin. Instrumentals are certainly safer.
@@andrewporter1868All good! Sorry to hear they weren't to your liking. I find those kinda vox aren't common in power metal, to my ears anyway. I think they ought to be. I do think some power metal vocal styles are adjacent to it. Russell Allan from Symphony X gets close. He's great, but never been huge in him. I prefer the likes of Tony Kakko from Sonata Arctica or Yannis Papadopoulos from Beast in Black (Beast in Black are pretty sweet, I'd say they're my 2nd fav power metal band currently).
I'm not sure of you moral thresholds, so I can't help you there. I'm quite open-ended if not open-minded, I'll basically try most metal except NSBM (i.e: fuck nazis). Personal taste I can greatly empathise with you there haha. I haven't heard of or listened to The Enigma TNG, maybe I'll check him out.
@@batastrophic9762 Glad to make your acquaintance! For an example of the power metal vocals I'm talking about, consider In the Dawn of the AI by Orden Ogan. So far I'd say my top metal genres are deathcore, power, nu, and industrial.
> moral thresholds
I'm a tradcath sedevacantist who adheres to the Thesis of Cassiciacum 😄For reference, in terms of metal, I found a spotify playlist the other day with 532 metal tracks, most of which were death metal from what I recall. Only 18 survived to make it into my daily playlist; another 12 I've saved for further analysis. Most of the issue morally is when it's too excessive in certain respects.
Of the tracks that survived were tracks from Analepsy, Guttural Slug, Fear Factory, and Slaughter to Prevail. Those that did not were because of: excessive glorifying of gory or vulgar things of that nature; the band is into actual occultism or straight up satanism _literally,_ or which merely uses certain such symbols from those false ideologies perhaps "as a matter of style", both the blatant and the unobvious that I'm aware of; poor presentation of suicide and other serious topics that could scandalize the suicidal or otherwise imply it is morally good; or some other sort of problem (always with the lyrics themselves).
Dark topics, horror, and the like are all fine to talk about. It's how they're spoken of that is the issue. Hell by Slaughter to Prevail for instance is one of the said tracks that made it into my daily playlist (eventually; took a while to translate) because it speaks of its horrors without glorifying Hell. A common reason, however, for which any song doesn't end up passing is due to vulgar language, even for just one word, though those that are "off by one" morally I've set aside for future consideration as my knowledge of the Law is not absolutely perfect, and would hope that there's some possibility I failed to cover that would render such _tolerable_ (as opposed to condemned outright which I do in most cases of doubt such as this).
If nothing else, I hope you find this to be an interesting conversation 😁
Fucking solid riffs and vocals, this is a total jam and I appreciate the mix of parody with the solid work! You need a part two though parodying how many modern metal vocalists don't enunciate in their screams and growls, maybe mix it up with those crystal clear screams you've got there but then switch throughout and just make noises but put subtitles to them as if they were actually words while cupping a mic.
Let's get low !!!!!! Insane man !!!!!! 👏👏👏
The comment about the 0s is too true, great work homie
That was dope man sick as always man keep killing it and you know those empty 0’s chug lol 😂
For that "Shred" line on 01:56 you should've hired Shredmaster Scott lol
Great song!
I agree 100%.
Shredmaster Scott is a great guy, and a great player. I love the unity among guitarists now. Glad to see that we've gotten away from the "gunslinger" mindset from the 80s.
We're WAY more supportive now.
This is the definition of gold right here! Catchy as fuck and speaking the truth! Love it!
You said it best bro..
as a bassist i will be there when guitars have their funeral
This has to be the hardest riff ever in the chorus
Not at all what I was expecting but i love it! hahaha I was beginning to think i was all alone with my slight hatred for low tuning on guitars. The shred is where its at! Great work!
My 5 year old heard this song when I was playing it on Spotify. She asked when I will be this good on the guitar.
(Made my girlfriend spit out her drink)
I generally love the sound of very low tuned guitars, especially if the music is skilfully written with that specific sound in mind.
That being said, this song shreds and I'm all for that, too. 😆🤘
Okay, so that was sick!
😂🤘
Sorprendente y fabulosa música 🎼🎼🎼😊👌 gracias por esta música de guitarra 🎸 estupendo 👍👌
Haha confession time - seriously in 30 years, the only time I have tuned down is to play something half a tone lower etc 😂
I just never tune down and I don’t play many songs that do lol
This was an amazing tune too BTW Bernth
Killer..... you could go on tour with Dethklok Satire, but it kicked ass too!!
Wasnt expecting this to go so hard, its catchy and funny. Love your melody and vocal approach.
Just bought my first 7 string a few weeks ago, and now I want an 8 string XD
This song is awesome, well done.
As a long time 7 string player who bought an 8 string, I'm just gonna say idk man. An 8 string feels totally different from a 7, and it's hard to find a musical use for that 8th string that doesn't sound like djenty shit.
@@Eliphas_ElricCheck out Stephen Carpenter from Deftones - dude had lots of use for 8 strings, both melodic and heavy. Personally, 8 string can really go hard in creating atmosphere too. Another example os Thornhill - The Hellfire Club. It's a 6 string baritone, tuned to Drop D octave down, yet it's a very melodic song, with a slow solo near the end. Low range can provide interesting chords, imo.
New subscriber here. This was awesome. I am an early 2000s teen and always loved tuning lower. I remember thinking how badass Drop A was(still is) and thinking it was extremely low(still is). The 8 string infatuation went way too far in the metal scene. Too many guitarists didn't know how to really use that range appropriately and now it's become a battle of who can tune down the furthest. Now we have all these Gen Z and young millenials obsessed with playing guitars that sound like a bass.
They don't sound like bass. Most bass players are so lazy to create a stong enough tone to back up the low tuned guitar.
Listen Heart Of A Coward-Severence album.
Meshuggah is probably older than you as a band.
@@KatyaLishchMeshuggah is one of the few who use low tuning and actually make interesting riffs. Orbit Culture does a decent job too. Most Metalcore is just 0-0-0-0 0-0-0-0 with no inflection or variation in rhythm.
@@Metal_junkPhantoms is literally just a 4 1/2 minute long monstrosity of a riff. Unbelievable song
What I really dislike in this new trend is that breakdowns are now utilizing one string only. I think they sound much heavier with a higher tuning but with 2 strings. CG etc... Nobody does that anymore :(
'Pitches barely audible. Higher strings optional'
Hahaha you naild it.
Nice shredding BTW.
Very nice solos and I agree with the message-80s metal or GTFO! 😎 Bring it back from the dead & keep the flame alive man!
YES!!! Remember when metal guitarists sounded classically trained and had complex, intricate solos and riffs? Magical sounds that carries weight and emotion
That isn't the problem. It's the emotion and tone that never changes. Modern American metal sounds fantastic. It's just all the same feel. It's boring. It's not that it isn't good. There is zero variety.
I've been listening to Japanese metal. It isn't like that. It's happy, it's sad. They sing they rap. They use vocal effects. They don't give a F about genres. It's creative. I recommend Hanabie 'Pardon Me' or Babymetal 'Monochrome' or Nemophila 'Dissension'.
@@KenjaTimu I have listened to that Hanabe song a bunch and recommended it to a few people!! Great recommendation
@@DerrickBarrows Some other bands that are great out of Japan. Band-Maid 'Dice' Bridear 'Light in the Dark' Trident 'Voltage' Lovebites 'Set the World on Fire' Broken by the Scream 'Sayonara Birthday' All female all of them. All metal except for Band-Maid that is hard rock.
Got this on spotify on repeat.... i cant turn it up loud enough! Such a simple masterpeice that speaks all the truth! Coming from someone that can only play killer, deep riffs 😂
I don’t know what ms best. The shred Melodie’s or the lyrics. “Only zeros ahead why don’t you learn to play instrument instead!” Love it.
I thought drop A/7string was low... and then I branched into deathcore... and drop E is a thing...
Man your vocal capabilities definitely match your playing abilities, this was heavy 🤘🏻

Remember when great metal tracks like The Number of the Beast, and Master of Puppets were recorded without down tuning? Pepridge Farms remembers.
Hahaha that "or is it :)" at the end 🤣🤣🤣🤣
THANK YOU!!!!!
As an older metal head, this trend drives me crazy! Its not just the drop tuning, but altering the structure of the strings to play power chords with 1 finger. " Learn to play your instrument."
At first, I thought this song was parody, but it rocks, has a great message, and it's catchy!
This was amazing. Threw me back into the tunes of my teenaged years
Dude, this is AWESOME. :D Don't diss low tuning! 'Cause you can still shred, it'll just sound better ;)
Whatever he said is true
I love my 8 string 🙂🤘
@@Bernthguitar I'm jealous for it! I only got my old Ibanez RG prestige 6 string. But CGCGCE tuning works and sounds amazing :P
It’s so cool Meshuggah has been around longer than even the Melvins, I think, & to think how they originally modified six string guitars to make their sounds. I guess I just mention that because it’s like if people are so hardcore, maybe they should try it from the ground up same as the exempli gratia of low tunings & amazing musicianship!
& thanks for your awesome content🤘😈🤘
Meshuggah is one of the only bands that is able to pull off what they do, most bands that try to imitate it suck.
I just discovered you and bring me back to the shrapnel shredders but w low tuned chugga chugga. Looove the combination. I still shred 🔥🔥🤘🤘
