@@juliodefreitas157 I agree, having it super low to look cool is stupid to me. You're an artist as a guitar player, do it the way you can best do your job.
This is a damn near perfect video for hearing different sounds and seeing different techniques. You explain them very well. You don’t linger too much so if I wanna go back and really learn it I can but if I want to keep it moving you keep it going. Great video man. I’m totally going to sub and hope for more metalcore techniques and riff ideas. *high five*
Hahaha I screamed in excitement as soon as he started doing that dope ass tapping tutorial. Can't wait to go home from work in 12 hours to try it out LOL
Your guitar lessons are super helpful. Thanks for this metalcore lesson, I would also like to see a deathcore lesson, and if you could do a couple more drop c songs eventually that would be cool man. thanks again
Aha! The semitone interval! It's so simple. I've long wondered what the hell made that sound, but I didn't know what to call it. Thank you very much Mr Simon, Sir, I tug my forelock to you!
Great video. Wish I could apply it to my playing but currently living somewhere I can't play guitar. It sucks! Hopefully soon I'll move and I'll comeback to your video and try all these techniques out.
I have the same problem. I have a strat and do most practice with no amplification. Solid body electric makes just enough sound to hear okay in a quiet room. When I plug into my pedals and amp, I listen in headphones. I don't think anybody in the house has yet noticed that I even have a guitar and practice like a fiend. Your situation sucks. Good luck with your problem.
Not necessarily. With a B on the high E string it would be equivalent to double-dropped-D tuning, but then the whole set of six tuned down an additional step and a half. If he played the high string in this tutorial, I didn't catch it, so I guess it's possible he put it in C#. But doing a double-drop would make more sense for the scale he is playing; there is no C# in the scale he gave, meaning he'd never be able to use the high string in open position. Lots of open string tonality is what makes dropped tunings so fun, so the B is the better choice here.
Hey dude love the video! I always seem to struggle with keeping the higher strings muted when trying to play along to the first exercise. I see you mute them with your picking hand but I can’t seem to do that. I find it really uncomfortable and it strains the tendons in my forearm when I try. I naturally make a slightly open fist shape which works really well with other playing techniques except this one. I try to mute the other strings with my fretting hand but the fleshy parts always manage to cause some kind of string noise. I’ve tried pressing down hard and soft (Giggidy!). Got any tips or advice for me? Greatly appreciated! 😊
Looks like the Megadeth Holy Wars technique where he hammer ons and pulls of in the a strings while alternately picking the high e. Slayer, Judas Priest, and Slipknot have use this technique in some songs. Metallica kinda used some techniques in the St Anger album.
Sir can u make vids riffs metalcore lesson only🙏🏻 I really like ur vids sir its like dream cme true knowing this lessons for improve my riffs Im from malaysia sir🤘🏻🤟🏻its nice to meet u sir
You make the line 6 sound awesome. Line 6 gets a lot of flack for being all digital trash, but I think you show that the sound is in the player and in the hands. Super awesome
sk8andgaming you know what is beast, Alex Terrible from the Band Slaughter To Prevail , a deathcore band. U like metalcore u should check my band out I'm forming it
I play seven electric in AEADGBE. Fingering is clearly different, but plays this spiffy. Guess metalcore is 6 7 & 8 strings mainly. Deathcore = 20 strings? lol...At least 8 or 9, with LOTS of sweeping.
1:27 i have one question. In this part, you mute the E and then play the D string. While you play the D string, you keep muting the E string? I mean, should i lift my hand to play the D string and then put it back again to mute the E string? Or keep muting E while not pressing against the D (string tho) xD
about a month ago I was trying to tune to drop B as I like drop A and standard B, but it seemed like I needed to be at standard C# to have drop B but noticed in your description, your tuning is different from what I thought. Is this a preference of yours or is this proper drop B?
Anyone at all that can help I'd appreciate it. I'm learning some parkway songs and they're all downpicked pedal notes at like 158bpm. My technique breaks down so bad when it comes to the picking and muting. Any tips would be great.
Just gonna add. I really struggle with a "bouncing" motion between the low e and a string trying to keep the low e muted and a unmuted getting those single notes ringing out
Okay, so for the life of me I can't remember what people call the alternate picking between the top string and bottom ones when playing metalcore. Anyone know?
Sorry if you've already got one. (Link if so), but if not could you do a "hardcore"(for lack of any better term) video? I listen to gideon, reformers, sleeping giant, ghost inside, the great commission etc..I just wonder like what kinds of keys/modes/scales etc they use..I don't want to just make stuff up that sounds cool, I like knowing what I'm doing.
Hardcore groups use a lot of minor scales, harmonies and power chords. Best tone for hardcore: amp high gain paired with an od (a lot of core bands do this) Tunings: drops are ideal, preferably drop d, c# and d

This easily one of the better videos clearly detailing metal core as opposed to just standard heavy metal riffs
Thanks
I have watched this video for like 20 times and i dont even have a guitar
i almost splat my coffee over my guitar reading this
Probably the only time a Metalcore guitar strap will ever be that high
Its helps when you're short
you probably never saw Adam D (KSE)
Lmao!!!
You the guitar where its comfortable ,not hanging around the ball sack.
@@juliodefreitas157 I agree, having it super low to look cool is stupid to me. You're an artist as a guitar player, do it the way you can best do your job.
Please, make more metalcore tutorials. :'(
would be really great. like the video. thx for it!
This is really great man. I've recently joined a metalcore band ( unexpectantly) and it's hard to find good metalcore advice, this really helps.
Jos Budon Good stuff Jos!
how in the fuck does someone join a metalcore band unexpectedly??
Literally happened to me.
I hope you guys are getting laid. Only genre that isn’t socially retarded.
It happened the same to me lol

Really need more metalcore riff tutorial like this in RUclips.
This video is the start of my metalcore career 😁🤩

If I had a forelock, I'd tug it back sir!!!

tuning is B F# B E G# *C#* not B
Not necessarily. With a B on the high E string it would be equivalent to double-dropped-D tuning, but then the whole set of six tuned down an additional step and a half.

No problem

DUDE YOU SAVED ME!!
+vaar sevaar :-)
I took your black metal course years ago and really liked it. Im trying to learn beat down hardcore and was wondering if you did online lessons
Awesome
thank you
Can you upload some videos which sharing the sweep pick lesson, i think it's cool man
when I do string skipping I always use an up-pick on my way back down to the lower string, makes it easier for me
!!!!!!!!THANKS!!!!!!!!!
God bless you!
Mantap.. Lur👍👍
Tanks ,,
I'am so verry like this video..
🤘
Holy fuck you sound exactly like Rory from Enter Shikari haha great stuff man! Helped more than you know
What a fantastic lesson, are those standard pickups or have you changed them?
Awesome technique, can you do post-hardcore technique?
great tone . is it the Spider IV model ?
do you remember the amp model you used : metal or insane ?
Awesome video. I think adding tabs would be nice

Thanks mate
What the hell are your settings? I've never got any tone I didn't hate out of mine.
Glad some1 likes Metalcore!
Ryan Taylor metalcore is beast
sk8andgaming you know what is beast, Alex Terrible from the Band Slaughter To Prevail , a deathcore band. U like metalcore u should check my band out I'm forming it
Ryan Taylor I want to form a band too. I kinda want to play music like metallica but, also music like oh, sleeper or bring me the horizon
sk8andgaming oh, that's cool
Ryan Taylor yeah
which guitar....love the sound.
Amp settings please
I'm with Angelripper, I'd love to see melodic death metal techniques. By the way, you're freakin' awesome.
Ian Oller Thanks Ian. Good idea for a video that!!
Not a problem man. Just bought my first guitar the other day, so I've been watching your stuff to get some tips. Rather helpful.
I play seven electric in AEADGBE. Fingering is clearly different, but plays this spiffy. Guess metalcore is 6 7 & 8 strings mainly. Deathcore = 20 strings? lol...At least 8 or 9, with LOTS of sweeping.
what is the rythmic he's playing at 10:35 ? I mean , what is he doing with his left hand ?
Vassily Andrzej 1-3-1-3-3-4-3-6-1-3-1-3 etc....
What i could make of it lol all top string and triplets
Bro i have a ibanez grg170dx can i put a floyd rose in that guitar and change all the pickups
🤘🤘🤘
solo plz make a video for solo parts in metalcore i am searching the web and i cannot find anything useful
how to you keep open strings from ringing out? even when 0alm muting it always muds up the playing.
If you play on a Line 6 Spider 75, what preset it is ?
1:27 i have one question. In this part, you mute the E and then play the D string. While you play the D string, you keep muting the E string? I mean, should i lift my hand to play the D string and then put it back again to mute the E string? Or keep muting E while not pressing against the D (string tho) xD
how many steps down for the tuning?
Did you include octave riffing?
Do I have any tabs for this.. It would be easier for me
👍
about a month ago I was trying to tune to drop B as I like drop A and standard B, but it seemed like I needed to be at standard C# to have drop B but noticed in your description, your tuning is different from what I thought. Is this a preference of yours or is this proper drop B?
Christopher Rowe This is proper drop B yes. I don't normally play this low on a six string, but was playing some other stuff so just left it.
This Guitar is Blue
man this sounds like Amon Amarth and they are melodeath. so you made a melodeath tutorial XD
but it's awesome!
+Phil Eddy Thanks my friend :0)
do the same rules for metalcore apply for melodic death metal?
+Jonathan Gallup pretty much yes
I'm the 666th like! Like a beast. Lol.
Nice tutorial, btw.
+A Human Awesome!!
i've got the rrd one, but its satin finish, i want it to look glossy as yours. :p anyway nice vid
+Dharyn SimmerX Thanks mate

Hybrid picking?
What tipe Of pedal you use?
Can you do a similar video for 7 string please, or msg me some tips for playing similar riffs on 7 string please
Added to the list

ChristopherC1115 none of those are hardcore bands...
Angel Westbrook lol
4 EMG pickups.. woah. Someone tell me the name of this guitar
Aniket Kumar Ibanez RG370 DX The pickups are HSH configuration
Simon Smith it must be a bomb even on lesser quality amps..
I only see 3 pickups
is it superstrat... Ibanez is as hard as always
Simon can you tell me the brand name of the orange pick you're using and the size of it please?
AetherMate It's a Dunlop Tortex 0.6mm
Fuckingggg Love 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
tab
Awesome video! what distortion pedal
+Taylor Grey Thanks. Was it in the description?
+Simon Smith No it wasn't
A GP file would be soo nice :D :D
i agree with u
