Some of my favorite ones are my curse, what's up people, chop suey, and most of gojira's drop c riffs my favroite ones are toxic garbage island, the way of all flesh, all the tears and l'enfant sauvage.
@@jojoplaysmusic Omg yeah I first heard about them bc of death note and I decided to listen to the band and I was shocked it's like if soad was japanese.
@@jojoplaysmusic I could swear that it just copied the main riff from Quake 2,I instantly made that connection when I first heard it. Listened to the entire soundtrack again just to see which Q2 track had it and the closest I could find were "Adrenaline Junkie" and "Descend Into Cerberon". I also remembered how heavy,groovy and just banger-filled it was.
Drop C is truly an amazing tuning. I wouldn't mind tuning a guitar to Drop C, even though I have a 7 string. I'm a die-hard KSE fan, so any riff of theirs makes sense. How about you try to write something in Open D Minor? That would be a challenge🎸🤘🔥
3:30 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
Nah don't dramatize it. Fast tremolo picking on a single string is a common thing and used by every band that tries to be heavy. It has nothing to do with suffer
@@AffixedEvil You’ve never played this part, or at least never played it correctly. That is not tremolo picking. Just listen to the picking intensity. It’s full force speed picking for 30 seconds.
@@SofaKing880So, speed with your right hand. No coordination whatsoever, no left hand dexterity, no dynamics, just speed? You call this suffering? This is something you can learn easily just by practicing on the regular. It's not easy, I agree, but acting like this is one of the holy grails of technical guitar play is just an insult to anything actually making you suffer.
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.
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)
Just gotta say, the intro to Indestructible by Disturbed slaps really fucking hard. The first time I ever heard that intro I felt like I was riding a blackhawk into a heavy urban firefight, going to war. That riff just slaps man, old Disturbed ❤
I believe Adrenaline and Around the Fur are in Drop C# and then all of White Pony was in Drop C (maybe a few exceptions here and there, but Elite and Change In the house of flies are also in Drop C). Stephen does take a boatload of guitars with him on tour so it makes sense. And thank you!
Marigold, chop suey and stricken 💜💜💜 the gojira one was also so good but ive never heard that one before. I only know global warming D: definitely gonna listen to that one more
I think Devy has always played in open C, but you can definitely get away with drop C for most of the Strapping Young Lad catalogue. (And I do know he has a lot of songs in open B with DTP, but I believe that was by accident)
@@jojoplaysmusic when you're playing 8-12 part of a riff, you have to go on 7th fret on 4th string instead of of 8th like you did that particular note is the reason why i still can't play that riff correctly even after 4 years of non consistent practicing 😭
@@jojoplaysmusic my brain went to disagree with you for a second there, but then I remembered the acoustic part doesn't matter for live reasons. I'm pretty sure you're correct
@@jojoplaysmusicthen we should hear some stuff by Signs Of The Swarm, Wage War, We Butter The Bread With Butter, Crystal Lake, Chelsea Grin, Alpha Wolf, Whitechapel, Knocked Loose, Any Given Day, Lorna Shore and others
@@ЖандосАубакиров-р9н definitely, I want to make more low tuned content, I just gotta get the right gear for it first. If you like Signs of the Swarm then you better stick around 👀
Just FYI and I swear I mean this in a positive way: The thumbnail and the intro and that whole "I"m fucking around, aren't I hilarious?" vibe is a massive turn-off to some. There are a ton of useless guitar-related RUclips channels, so I've started blocking them in earnest. This is how you ended up on that list.

Frantic by Metallica and Not Falling by Mudvayne are my favs. Was gonna say Oblivion but then I saw you play it props for that
Funeral Thirst - The Black Dahlia Murder
Straight Nocturnal opening, chef kiss
Yeah I felt like it might be kinda boring without a cold open straight into the riffs.
you look both 15 and 35 at the same time
That *yeah* at the end of Gojira was so pure
I felt like I should’ve added the vocals of that part too
It's so nice to see Oblivion getting some love. Crack The Skye might be, along with Blood Mountain, my favorite Mastodon album.
Crack The Skye is a personal favorite album of mine.
Such a killer album indeed and you picked a hell of a song to play from it!
Thumbnail looks fire af, love a lot of these albums
It looks clickbait and made me not want to click..
C truly is crushing.
Really great choices,Stricken probably being my favorite here.
It reminds me of a song from Quake 2.
That’s true! It does sound like something from Quake 2

@@Stefan979- I gotta listen to it again myself now
I can definitely tell nik nocturnal had some inspiration on you
Thank you for reminding me of why I love metal and playing guitar
Drop C tuning is great because a lot of bands from different styles use it
Exactly
Oblivion Mastodon is euphoric and melodic sounding and geavy at thebsame type...love that song. Great job man.
I always forget how amazing Crack The Skye is!
One of my all time favorite albums
yeah that marigold riff is killer on the hands
Definitely a finger twister
@@jojoplaysmusic worth it!
Swallow the Sun would be excellent addition as well. A lot of their songs are in drop C. Kanonienfieber would fit too.
Swallow the Sun are so good, they deserve more attention.
kanonenfieber fucks
happy to see back to school included, such an underrated song

Definitely would be a challenge.
Opeth's Ghost Reveries is Open D Minor
I hurt my hand trying the Marigold's intro
Same
really respect the variety of your taste.
Thank you! I am indeed a man of ample taste.
For a god year straight I always played the Marigold riff for warming up. For real though I live all these songs.
It really is a great riff for getting your fingers used to twisting around
Great tone and accent. Nice nostalgic work!
Thanks! Haha

Paradise Lost - Never For the Damned. Very doomy and gothic riffs.
Paradise Lost are an underrated classic
@@347Jimmy definitely
_Stricken is goated_
It sounds so heavy without the vocals too lol
@@jojoplaysmusic Everything about Stricken is legendary
Had no idea that deftones song was in drop c. Gonna have to learn it now lol. Great vid as always! 🤘
I believe Adrenaline and Around the Fur are in Drop C# and then all of White Pony was in Drop C (maybe a few exceptions here and there, but Elite and Change In the house of flies are also in Drop C). Stephen does take a boatload of guitars with him on tour so it makes sense. And thank you!
@@jojoplaysmusicAdrenaline had more E standard and Drop D riffs
@@ЖандосАубакиров-р9н oh I see, interesting. So basically they change tunings every album lol.
Loved the first song, favorite band
One of the first bands I fell in love with for sure
C is best because its the perfect balance of heavy but not so heavy it gets drowned out
Exactly..anything lower than this gets muddy imo
Here we go.
I have a physical copy of that Opeth album from your profile pic.
@@jojoplaysmusicMe as well.
I really like toxic garbage island from Gojira
Oh yeah! I forgot that song is in drop C
Marigold, chop suey and stricken 💜💜💜 the gojira one was also so good but ive never heard that one before. I only know global warming D: definitely gonna listen to that one more
Definitely check it out! I’d say it’s one of the best and most complete Gojira songs ever :)
For bonus points:
Devin Townsend plays in open C, you can either play or fake 90% of his older material in drop C
I think Devy has always played in open C, but you can definitely get away with drop C for most of the Strapping Young Lad catalogue. (And I do know he has a lot of songs in open B with DTP, but I believe that was by accident)
@@jojoplaysmusic it's further proof that Drop C is the best!
@@347Jimmy exactly
Absolute killer list, top picks and great variety as well. Kept the best for last; fantastic song from a genre-defining album by Gojira❤
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Oblivion! So hard to beat that song
It’s a certified classic at this point
Excelente toque, amigo, saludos desde Colombia.
Very well done
Next ones should be Drop C# or B or any standard tunings
Yes
Babe wake up, Jojo uploaded 🤣
Best message to wake up to
You forgot isolation the downfall of us all and animal I have become
Man’s got taste
The chop suey part had to been the best.
Because I’m wearing adidas of course
Buen gusto musical compa, t la sacaste pa miar
El mejor comentario de todos
Sooo freakinng loud !!
Faltó Rock Lobster! 🐚
🤨
Silence at 2:45.
Copyright claim 😤
Really wish I was as cool as you are
It’s extremely hard but not impossible to achieve
My Curse ❤️
A certified classic
My favorite tuning is c# standard not a fan of drop tuning I guess lol just what I like to play
Well a lot of great bands play in C# standard like Hate Eternal, Suffocation, Belphegor, Dying Fetus, Behemoth, etc.
@@jojoplaysmusic oh yeah new dying fetus is great behemoth is ok I live in Florida I get to see all the classic bands out in tampa
there's no sound from 2:45 to 3:05 :(
Yeah I got a copyright claim :(

Anyone else think that intro was a little too much like Nik Nocturnal?

Don't you have another channel; Crime Circus?
No (?)
@@jojoplaysmusic Oh its just that you look like drip drop without the make up.
DROP D IS THE BEST
ain't Chop Suey in Drop C sharp? otherwise, great stuff
I think they started tuning to that after Toxicity
Whole Toxicity album is in C for sure
@@347Jimmy yeah and I believe there’s not a single open note in it, so they could play it after in drop C# no problem.
