    What are YOUR favorite Drop C Metal riffs? (btw I got a claim for "Tears Don't Fall" so that's why there's a weird cut)

    This right here is why Gojira is so good. Playing these parts is a legitimate physical feat; you literally have to suffer to play it, and it’s as if that effort is somehow manifested into their music and it just sounds different because of it

This is something you can learn easily just by practicing on the regular.

    I just tuned my new guitar to drop C. Considering that the lowest I've tuned was drop D; OMG, why didn't I do this years and years ago?! Been a bedroom player that just mostly dabbles around every so often so I just always had my guitars in standard tuning. Not only was I amazed on this new to me down tuning but it just had me fixated on trying all kinds of stuff. I don't think I'll ever go back to E standard.

  • @wrongperfection
    @wrongperfection Год назад +6

    I also mostly tune to D / Drop C. And use the exact 10-52 skinny top heavy bottom set that you have in the background!
    Though I would also add a Dååth riff, they kick ass! (Though one of the simpler riffs, stuff like From the Blind or Sharpen the Blades is killer... both in groove and difficulty, especially compared to simpler stuff shown here, Periphery riff is the only left-hand twister)
