I love that you go into enough theory to have an understanding of whats going on and why, but not so much that you turn playing into homework. subscribed!
It's not "basically" For Whom the bell tolls, that song and riff is a completely different harmony. And Yeah, Lamb of God - 11th Hour. Thanks for playing.
@@axeofcreation in your opinion. but it is basically for whom the bell tolls. slight variation only. when i first heard it i thought for sure he was just playing that riff...shocked me when he said what he said. but you do you.
@@metalriffs6276 I mean, it's really in your opinion because he wrote the riff and also has a channel dedicated to things like music theory, I would trust his distinction over yours, random youtube commenter.
@@5kr3aminMunk33 LOL so your saying there is no way in hell that he can write a riff that accidently or intentionally is the same as an existing, other band's riff??? are you serious?? wow...the internet strikes again.
Real cool video - short, focused, and explained well. Now I didn't learn anything because I've been playing for so long and these are all ideas I've already picked up, but I appreciate you putting it into words these concepts that just sit in my noodle for years.
Love your channel I have for years and I really appreciate the way you explained context because so many music teachers will hand you all the tools and just say go for it your videos always make me understand music better
This is the first video of yours that I’ve watched. Based on how you spoke and explained the video I thought this was gonna be simple and tame, then you pimp slapped me across the face with that first riff so now I’m gonna stick around.
@@rileythompson5127 B, D, A, D, G, B, E is also fun. But doing a power chord on the low strings is a bit of a stretch. The upside is riffing is pretty fun.
Now THAT’S what I’m talkin’ about! I could be stupid, but I’d rather “riff” than solo! I’ll probably try this in standard first…but the possibilities are endless! Thank you. Subscribed!
great!!! How do you come up with interesting rhythms? My best ones are usually purely inspirational... do you have any tools to come up with cool ones? Thanks
Love your work as always man... I do have a random question though, what kind of strings do you use? I'm just curious because I've used Heavy Bottom slinkys for a long time and I think that is more of my "Adam Jones Fanboy" thinking and I want to experiment with different gauge strings/brands and whatnot
Love the Danny Carrey Tshirt
It's actually a Ballast Point shirt.
@@axeofcreation r/woosh
Hahaha heck yea dude ;)
He didn't get the octopus reference I guess
Well, DC has an octopus shirt available. I didn't realize this was a joke because of that. My bad y'all.
That tone is amazing
ML Sound Lab
@@axeofcreation 😱Noooooo! It's digital....?? Oh man...I was raving about that tone too! What will I tell my guitar player friends!? 😆
Tech has come a long way. Still doesn't beat the real thing but it gets the job done.
@@axeofcreation What settings on ML Soundlab did you use to create that sound?
Love the satin finish on this guitar. Way classier than the usual glossy.
Agreed! Never been a big fan of glossy finishes.

I came for the riffs & stayed for those sweet ass inlays
Inlays are exactly what’s in my Carvin ! Considering it’s a Kiesel that kinda makes sense now lol beautiful though regardless
Style #4 of drop D riffing -- all of those classic Van Halen riffs from the Fair Warning album.
That guitar is fire man, not even talking about the octo-shirt
Honestly, it looks so smooth, the inlays are beautiful as well.
“Metallica’s Breadfan”
Budgie: am I a joke to you?
bahaha!
Then plays RHCPs version of the same riff, haha
That first riff. So tight. So crunchy.
Its basically the "For whom the bell tolls" riff by Metallica!! LOL funny, He says "lamb of god, pantera" LOL ... wow.

Really appreciate the content on AoC. As a Tool fanatic and a confirmed Drop D addict this channel is a personal fav
Such a nasty, grungy tone, but still versatile.
I'm a bass player but this was still super helpful. As well your tone is ferocious! Keep killing it.
Real cool video - short, focused, and explained well. Now I didn't learn anything because I've been playing for so long and these are all ideas I've already picked up, but I appreciate you putting it into words these concepts that just sit in my noodle for years.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great informative video it’s helped me out and definitely a fun tuning to keep making up riffs !
The 3rd riff was absolutely sick tho. Just proved to me that harmonic minor is one of the best scales for metal
Love your channel I have for years and I really appreciate the way you explained context because so many music teachers will hand you all the tools and just say go for it your videos always make me understand music better
I appreciate that!
You're really good. I've been watching and learning all week. Subbed.
This is the first video of yours that I’ve watched. Based on how you spoke and explained the video I thought this was gonna be simple and tame, then you pimp slapped me across the face with that first riff so now I’m gonna stick around.
2nd riff is my favorite, so soundgarden like
Yay! I understood one! Also, ‘Outshined’.
What an amazing lesson! More drop tuning + music theory please! Subscribed!
Damn dude that kiesels matte black burst looking finish is insaane🔥🔥
Thank you for the guitar knowledge my brother
That guitar is perfect
I'm so happy to see Kiesel stuff become more and more used nowadays. To me, they were always some of the nicest guitars out there.
Thanks. I also enjoy playing the 0356 type riffs, combined with that cliché 3 -> 5 on the A-string.
Almost 100k So close man keep it up!!
Awesome video, great ideas!
Great Lesson/Tips! Thanks!!!
I had the pleasure of meeting you at the Kiesel showroom. You have great content man! I dig it!!
Always inspiring!! Thanks Greg🔥🔥🔥
I appreciate that!
Thank you so much! Such a great video.
great vid for the newer players to build off of . something easy fun to start showing different pathways . good stuff 👏
Thanks 👍
Greg would love to see a rundown of 4 degrees the whole song. You are the best when it comes to Tool lessons.
simple effective, i like it...no wonder the common theme is the common theme, hats off drop D lords, Thanks Greg
A Great help video, thank you!
Great tone. Great riffs. Great teaching. Just found your channel. Subscribing.
The second riff makes me think of Slither by Velvet Revolver
Amazing, great baseline
Very nice Greg, good inspiration for my current skill level.
Great to hear!
Cool lesson nice guitar...I have a Carvin from 1996 and a Kiesel with EMG "HET" pickups...
Very useful insight! Thanks! Like the logic applied...
Glad it was helpful!
Great video my dude
Another amazing video, thank you!
Thanks again!
great video! Thank you!
Thanks for the video
I have a 7 string and the tuning I have been playing with on it is G, D, A, D, G, B, E. Perhaps you could talk about it a bit in a future video?
I like A D A D G B E
@@rileythompson5127 B, D, A, D, G, B, E is also fun. But doing a power chord on the low strings is a bit of a stretch. The upside is riffing is pretty fun.
Great video thanks
As someone who REALLY digs Lamb of God, that first riff completely ravaged my entire being.....i MUST play it
Yes!
i concur
Ruin!!!!
Thanks to this tutorial very great
great tutorial thanks so much for making
Good lesson! Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Great tone btw man!
10/10 lesson. Just perfect.
Brilliant. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool stuff fella’ 😮
Great breakdown
Gracias tron!!

Sounds good, I love playing around with drop d
Thanks a lot
Sweet...thanks
I immediately thought of Soundgarden on that second riff. Then you said Spoonman. No doubt!
that last one hits different mate
Awesome - as always
Thanks again!
Very helpful
This is exactly what I was looking for
Such a delicious tone
Thanks man.
Greetings from Brazil!
Love your videos
Obrigado
Great tutorial Salute to you Sir,
Thank you kindly
THANKS BUD
Surprised he doesn’t have more subs. You actually learn something.
first song sounds *EXTREMELY* Lamb of God, but the last two were both like, 100% Tool
Freakin sweet riffage here!!!
Thanks dude 😏👍
Bro you’re a beast👍🤙🤘🎸
You're forgetting the most used one.. the pedal style riff. 000D and then riff on the A string. Like Unholy confessions.
Very usefull bro. Tnx
Thanks!
Ok I’m gonna follow you for when I get an electric
I noticed a bit of Jerry Cantrell style there, would you touch on that in one of your up and coming clips?
Time to get my Shinedown on
Melvins are the drop D goat
I'm gonna add these to my own riffs
Me: tunes to drop d.
*Neil Young has entered the chat*
Great lessons I just found your channel. What pedal or amp do you get that sound. It’s awesome
great!!! How do you come up with interesting rhythms? My best ones are usually purely inspirational... do you have any tools to come up with cool ones? Thanks
If something works, no matter how simple and clichè, its Good.
Riff 1 - Lamb of God/RATM/Slipknot
Riff 2 - Disturbed/Godsmack/Soundgarden
Riff 3 - Slayer/Tool/Muse
1:20 i love Roots Bloody Roots!
The style of the open, first fret, and sixth fret thing is what I do to rip off Rammstein riffs.
Love your work as always man... I do have a random question though, what kind of strings do you use? I'm just curious because I've used Heavy Bottom slinkys for a long time and I think that is more of my "Adam Jones Fanboy" thinking and I want to experiment with different gauge strings/brands and whatnot
I'm a slinky man myself as well. I tend to usually use 10s, if I know I'll be playing in strictly Drop D, I'll go a little thicker on the low string.
Would you PLEASE do a vudeo on this tone?!
Curious, if one can pedal the open a string and play notes on the d string simultaneously?
Cool channel like your content I think 🤔 I’m going to subscribe
Welcome!
1st riff reminds me of old school Command & Conquer.
"China must grow larger!"
Second riff reminds me of three days grace
Excellente. Does this works with bass too?
I got some Opeth vibes from the last riff.
Nice video
How about chord progressions and chord styles?
