This guys lore is that he filmed both videos that are on his channel in the same day (same grey shirt), but in this one he has mustache and therefore has the ability to grow a mustache instantaneously
Great overview, I think folks don't realize how much of the OG skramz sound was due to jazz influence (7ths/9ths etc.) combined with hardcore/metal influence, but going in a more punk direction than a 'prog-metal' dream theater direction.
Everyone knows that. 90s bands used to play with jazz acts (of their own age) and you've got bands named Swing Kids etc. Very obvious influence that everyone picks up on when they first get introduced.
@@notreally-sf3df agreed, this doesn't just apply to screamo, the whole post hc/emo thing was a little indebted to jazz, even if sometimes only aesthetically. indian summer had obvious jazz influence, nevermind bands like the jazz(!) june, or ethel meserve.
Hey, when I typed "screamo guitar sound" in the search field, I didn't expect anything to come up 😅 The stuff you play does indeed sounds like something from the genre, thanks for the videos.
@jamecono When you say "add extensions" (sorry of my quote isn't perfect), are you adding the additional note to the root and 5th (you mentioned 7th and 9ths being used for extensions), so that chord has 3 notes? Or do you replace the 5th with the 7th, for example? forgive the newb question - I'm a bassist and I'm just getting into guitar (6 strings) playing and chords.
my favorite jazzy screamo(ish) band is probably daniel striped tiger. criminally underrated band. their desert bird tape also had a stoner rock vibe to it.
i watched both of your videos back to back and i like to imagine you put on a fake mustache and recorded this right after the last one lol. great videos though! very helpful!
im sure a lot can be played in this tuning. recently i learned ‘misremembering constellations’ by sysc using this, and it worked pretty well. if you can’t play it in this open drop tuning, you can usually play it in a drop standard, you just gotta figure out what key you are in.
I randomly saw excrucis play at Schubas a few months or so back and y’all were so sick. Just stumbled onto these skramz videos and thought you seemed familiar. These are great!
Ahh the audio on this is a lot worse than the last video. Some noise-cancelling on the buzz, and some compression to even out your speaking vs your guitar would be rad - kind of hard to make out what you're saying, currently. Otherwise, thank you very much for the video!! I write hardcore grungegaze and this is really useful info
It's not an issue or mic or noise-cancelling, it's a level check. RUclips sadly does not offer normalization, but a re-upload with the levels boosted to -8 or -10 would be helpful here. I am in my mixing room and this is about -15 dB down from other youtube videos.
@@anthonyparks505 Wouldn't help at all, what the hell are you talking about? If that is your problem, get a level knob extension, they usually go up to 400-800%. Levels are on you, this is just a bad recording and placemen.
@@notreally-sf3df You are partially right, in that you can always "turn up", but there is a distinction between external and internal outputs. The sound in the room is half determined by the power of your amplifier and/or powered speakers. The other half of the signal chain is determined by the digital output level, also called dB FS ("full scale"). 0 dB is full scale digital output. Most metal records get mixed to -8 dB FS, while classical/jazz stuff can go to -16 dB FS. This is independent of the output level in the room or over headphones. Relative to other RUclips videos, this video is about half as loud, and I would bet it is partially due to a lack of observation of the digital levels. His setup could benefit from better mic placement, but that checking the digital levels is just as important. RUclips, unlike many other streaming platforms, doesn't normalize output levels, which can sometimes be a problem because some videos can be much quieter than others. A company like Apple for example uses a technology called SoundCheck to do this kind of normalization for Apple Music.
mostly just listening to music i liked and trying to replicate it! i played in a band called wrestle crow for a while, and more recently a band called excrucis.
Low to high: C G C G C Eb. The tecnical/guitar geek name for the tuning is Cross-note C. Careful when your tuning that second string a half step higher than standard.

The lore has changed, that’s his guitar shirt
lore is deep with this one
Off MInor is a good example of jazzy guitar parts. Great video!
They take their name from the title of a thelonious monk song, definitely an intentional nod to influences!

@@brainrottedindividual Yeah, it's literally as simple as voicings in hardcore = jazz influence
yay!! so happy you posted this, thanks!
your aweosme thanks !!
Thanks, love this, keep going!

thanks. keep it up!!!
A similar video on rythyms and song structures would be sweet.
Actually, I just watched your first vid in this series and you delve into these aspects.
ur so cute and talented :)
the power chord is so good since its neither major or minor (no 3rd) which makes it easier to play along with others and stay "in key"
yeah absolutely, hence it being the 'perfect' interval!

keep doing this content, it's super sick
I match my highest string to my lowest for epic open chords

I definitely will never fogret you!
I followed you, to make sure I’d never fogret you
@@mysticmagicsmurfdarklord6844fogret lol
any screamo song reqs in this tuning?

Nah, don't spend any time fixing this. He could spend way less effort just getting a lav mic which would pick up the guitar too.
yeah i just need to get a mic stand, placement of vocal mic was not as good as i hoped it would be.
It's not an issue or mic or noise-cancelling, it's a level check. RUclips sadly does not offer normalization, but a re-upload with the levels boosted to -8 or -10 would be helpful here. I am in my mixing room and this is about -15 dB down from other youtube videos.

sick video!!! v useful
I love you
thanks for this
You should try and put the tab of the chords up on the vid
it would be nice if you made a video on how to build a skramz guitar tone
plug into amp, turn it up until it feeds back. tone is in your hands mostly
he has now
@t4ky0n oh thanks!!!
Could you do a video on figuring out tones too? Thanks!
how did you learn this? what bands are/were you in if you dont mind,, would love to hear your sound with a band alongside it haha
mostly just listening to music i liked and trying to replicate it! i played in a band called wrestle crow for a while, and more recently a band called excrucis.
you are a fucking goat
thanks!
hey thanks dylan
Great video! What tuning are you using?
Low to high: C G C G C Eb. The tecnical/guitar geek name for the tuning is Cross-note C. Careful when your tuning that second string a half step higher than standard.
Thank u guitar Henry Cavil
