    @MrSrednas001 7 лет назад +92

    Listened to Pete's tuned up first. then listened to this. I dig this one more, but only because it sounds mean as hell! Overall, they both sound good. Maybe KSE just makes bad ass music that can be played in any tuning.

    • @TheWackyWelshMan
      @TheWackyWelshMan 6 лет назад

      +Kris McCleary it actually can't be played in standard as you require the low c note on the bottom string, which you can't get in standard as your lowest note in standard tuning is the open e mate

    • @romeorivera5137
      @romeorivera5137 6 лет назад +1

      Carl Davies you just transpose it from the key of c to the key of e except you play two frets higher on every string except your low e. You realize that this video isn’t played in c either right? So it’s clearly possible to play it in any tuning

  • @thane_snipes
    @thane_snipes 6 лет назад +1

    A lot people are saying that this sounds awful because of the down tuning, but I think the perceived problem has more to do with the fact that there is simply too much gain in there. Your actual playing gets a bit lost while errors get brought out. Otherwise very interesting! Keep it up :)

  • @RobbieDMusic
    @RobbieDMusic 3 года назад +1

    What tuning are you using for this? I just got a 7 string but im a little unfamiliar with how the tunings work. I know its just a low B string added above the E string but im not sure how I should tune it to try and play along. I tried to with arms of sorrow but something seems off on my end.

  • @BboyArpeggios

    @joshmoore8689 7 лет назад

    Sweet video!! I can see why some people are hating, saying it sounds bad...Played in a metalcore band for years and this was our problem too, the lower tuning makes it a touch more difficult to make all the little accents and nuances clear and distinct, therby negating some of the precision being played on the low end...that being said, you're still killing it man!!

    7 string is life. Say Andrew I have a question for you mate, I want to start playing 7 string, and I want to be able to, at the lowest tune to drop F? I think...whatever lowest tuning I can get to without going to an 8 string, because 8's are far out of my budget... any help would be much appreciated if you have the time to respond. Thanks again mate.

  • @rebugall1727
    @rebugall1727 6 лет назад

    Is that drop A or F? Cuz i have my 7 strings on drop A and i dont play the "My Curse" chords like that

  • @GregJonson
    @GregJonson 6 лет назад

    There is a certain point in down-tuning when power chords stop being power chords and just turn into an abstract wall of sound. For me, that breaking point is somewhere around drop A. Lower tunings usually sound way better with a straightforward djenty 1-string-riff approach.
    But hey, that's just my opinion.

    Heavier tuning makes much more sense for Howard's lyrics in my opinion. But Jesse's songs sound more better in drop c bc that's how it started off in and his lyrics sound more lively for the tune. All I'm saying is, Howard's songs should have been tuned down and Jesse's stay where they're at. I love his music in ex devil you know aka light the torch

    I think the riffs sound pretty good down tuned. But it seems it lost a bit of it's power and aggression. But the thing that really makes these riffs less good lower is when you combine it with the vocals from Howard or Jessy. The vocals need to be higher to give it the strenght
