[@bloxsy_]

My Katana Tone Studio sounds for this video are available now on my Patreon www.patreon.com/c/bloxsy

[@calebc5057]

Never clicked so fast on a video before. I loveeeee QOTSA and i especially love how unique of a guitar player Josh is. So many great riffs.

[@bloxsy_]

Thank you. Yeah they really have their own unique sound. Kind of hard to recreate really.

[@kalamay]

same here lol

[@brandonmoses1698]

I think I read in an interview that he said he plays the way he does because he sucks at guitar

[@ryanm4689]

Ah Queens. So many simple, yet catchy riffs. Tone on point as always Blox.

[@bloxsy_]

Thanks dude. Really appreciate it.

[@ryanm4689]

@ you gotta do Black Flag at some point. Anything from Damaged or My War. Six Pack, My War, Black Coffee, Wasted, Rise Above, etc.

[@bloxsy_]

Yeah I gotta do those. I actually started learning them but some of them are so dark I got depressed lol I will try again.

[@danielcastillo5525]

Awesome as always, now Kyuss riffs please 🙏🏻

[@dj011392]

All great riffs! Was a little surprised “3’s and 7’s” wasn’t on here, but the ones you chose actually blow it out of the water 😅

[@Pat-nl4wk]

@@dj011392 watch the 3’s and 7’s video.🤠

[@adamnerd1236]

I thought it was smells like teen spirit when I first heard it

[@Hevvvyyy]

Song for the deaf... hypnotic and evil sounding until the lively chorus hits, I love thet one

[@adamnerd1236]

My favorite fucking band of all time, thank you

[@ianross3353]

My favorite band of all time below Pearl Jam! I appreciate the inclusion of the Paper Machete riff. I learned that one a little bit ago and it is a lot of fun! You always do a great job with the rhythm guitar tones!

[@lucie.DO16]

Thank you, still one of my favorite band 😊

[@bloxsy_]

Thank you!

[@LudithaMusic]

Josh Homme and Troy Van Leeuwen are AMAZING!!!!

[@papercrane747]

Man i love this band

[@daniele.82]

The tuning sometimes is difficult with Qotsa, but so funny. Good job man, thanks ❤

[@bloxsy_]

So true. My guitars aren’t really set up for the low tunings. Some are in standard though so that’s okay.

[@HenrySchecker]

Hey you got a jazzmaster! I check this channel every now and then just to see your guitar collection expand

[@bloxsy_]

Thanks. Yeah the jazzmaster is a new addition but I will get rid of one of the others.

[@hennydarmse]

@@bloxsy_ Not the Duo-Sonic/Short scale you got I hope…?

[@bloxsy_]

Not that one. The Vintage V65 probably. I got the J Mascis one to replace it because it had nicer pickups

[@wafflemanofficial3130]

Tangled up in plaid is underrated

[@karakenio]

Nice selection of songs! mostly old ones, the best ones.

[@charlesclinton3305]

I can't be the only one who played the jamblock in my head when I heard "Little Sister."

[@keanuismyfather7477]

Josh Homme has one of the best collections of catchy riffs in rock history. Excellent songwriter and has a sound that is both instantly recognisable and unique to him. I was Kyuss first then got into QOTSA and every damn riff is so much fun to bang my head to and to learn on guitar myself.

[@steve_rios71]

I remember the first time I heard Sick,Sick,Sick it was thanks to Guitar Hero: Van Halen and after that I got hooked on QoTSA, Homme really knows how to write killer riffs and solos

[@iIIiteratex]

Yay! QotSA is my favorite band, so many cool and unique riffs that are really fun to play! You did a great job covering them! Although I'm surprised you didn't include Better Living Through Chemistry, Make it Wit Chu, or anything from Like Clockwork. I guess you'll have to make a Part 2 ;)

[@sans6956]

Superb!! Especially ‘ the lost art of keeping a secret’ 😮

[@ODAALx]

Them Crooked Vultures riffs soon? :)

[@bloxsy_]

Which ones?

[@ODAALx]

@@bloxsy_….all of them?

[@eadanhuntley903]

Wasn't expecting QOTSA, my favorite band of all time 😁🤘

[@digglydonk]

i can never unhear the opening to 'spectacular spiderman' in the riff for no one knows

[@RedMachineKieran]

Superb tones as always my friend

[@bloxsy_]

Thank you 🙏

[@randall9000]

Beautiful guitars. Great playing

[@bloxsy_]

Thank you

[@guimeplaying]

My favorite one is "Walkin' on the Sidewalks".

[@bassman5948]

Yes the one I’ve been waiting for 💥

[@shoegazer1298]

As soon as I seen it , clicked, two seconds into the first riff, liked, loved it 👍👍

[@Cholo_Puffs]

DUDE YOU HAVE THE CLOSEST TONE I'VE HEARD TO DATE TO QOTSA. Hope you get to see em someday they played my city the first night of this last tour and then cancelled the rest of it I was super lucky to have caught them for the 2nd time.

[@bloxsy_]

Thank you! That’s awesome that you got to see them hopefully they will do some more dates next year.

[@dawngumban2961]

Immediately clicked on this video. Good stuff

[@bloxsy_]

Thank you!

[@gvngrave6698]

Good work, i see how you growing up from start🎉

[@fred4412]

Great ! Thank you !

[@silviaskull]

Excellent!

[@bloxsy_]

Thanks!

[@MalMotorDedo]

Yk, there's a certain magic to simple riffs, can't recreate it often. Great vid!

[@bloxsy_]

The simple ones are the best for sure.

[@torqskrew]

please start doing some tone tutorials to make these tones!

[@Chris75717]

My favorite band!

[@masonbrown-barrett9487]

Love QOTSA, my 5th most played this year 🤘

[@thomsleftbollock]

kyuss next 🙏🙏🙏

[@shoegazer1298]

Mexicola❤

[@alexman26]

Ah!!! This one I can close my eyes at the first few notes and I already know what song it is

[@alicemilton8756]

Queen was such a popular band that they spawned a spin off prequel band, Queen in the Stone Age, and they also became very popular. They only wore their cave man outfits for the first album and tour, tho 💀

[@bloxsy_]

If only that were true!

[@TheEsdaniel]

Hell yeah qotsa!

[@K1leZe1nvl0d]

IF ONLY my favorite Qotsa song was on this list... 😢

[@bloxsy_]

Which one?

[@K1leZe1nvl0d]

@bloxsy_ i already saied. It's in caps lock and makes a internal joke, understand???

[@bloxsy_]

Ah got it lol

[@MrDEUBB]

3s and 7s is one of my favorite QOTSA riffs and the only QOTSA riff I know how to play on guitar..lol..

[@moodieboymusic4376]

I’m Designer and 3’s and 7’s are my favourites. I adored Era Vulgaris.

[@springryker]

wow new guitar

[@brendansonka2596]

Would love a Kyuss video!

[@steffinrobinson7869]

Do a part 2 with songs from Like Clockwork

[@tobyridley9273]

Love Qotsa, had the pleasure of seeing them a few times, can you do one for stoner rock riffs so like kyuss the sword etc

[@bloxsy_]

Oh Stoner rock would be a good one to do. Also I really want to see QOTSA live now. Hope that Josh recovers and they come back to the U.K

[@tobyridley9273]

@ I saw them last year in Cardiff and at download this year, stoner rock just has so much heavy riffy goodness

[@WeEatGhostsband]

Will personally pay you $109 to do a Dillinger escape plan video 🙏🏻

[@Pat-nl4wk]

Excellent tutorial! No talking just playing. BLOXSY, is your LP style guitar a Gibson or another make? Thanks.

[@bloxsy_]

Thanks. It’s more of a run-through than a tutorial but thanks! It’s a Vintage V100 so kind of a budget Les Paul guitar

[@Pat-nl4wk]

@ thanks! To me you are showing us how to play guitar, not teaching. Some people learn differently. Thanks again!

[@bloxsy_]

Thank you!

[@raywt3237]

Nice!

[@firebirdgao]

Awesome as usual ‘🎉What pick ups do you use on the jazzmaster please ?

[@bloxsy_]

These are Fender AVRI pickups

[@ФутбольныйМячик-е5с]

pls do riffs of The Smtihs, Franz Ferdinand, The Strokes, Fontainces DC, Kasabian, Echo & The Bunnymen :)))

[@pgregorio]

Já pode fazer a parte 2. Obrigado

[@bl00df4rt]

I can't give credit to who originally said this, because I can't remember who it was, but I once heard Josh Homme's strumming patterns described as sounding like "a drunken stumble."

[@Hornwiesel]

Next 10 Kyuss riffs pls ;)

[@scatterbrain92]

Them Crooked Vultures, AFI and 30 Seconds to Mars next?? 🙏

[@aziziabdrahman7756]

QOTSA! Yes!

[@humramos1]

Songs for the deaf is a masterpiece ...

[@magatamass]

How about some Kyuss riffs?

[@hosscartwright3431]

METZ would also be nice. Always enjoy your Videos.

[@bloxsy_]

Which Metz songs do you recommend? I know of them and listened to them a few times but not really that familiar.

[@hosscartwright3431]

@ for example: A Boat to Drown In / Glass Exe / Headache / Get off / Light your way home / Blind Youth Industrial Park / Cellophane / Sugar Pill / Sad Pricks / Spit you out / Acetate/ Drained Lake. The guitar sounds massive in my opinion.

[@heyhonpuds]

Needs more first album

[@dirtyharry292]

Nice video - but where is Regular John!? : )

[@edyb2097]

I wish there was "How to handle a rope". Still, great job. Great band 👍🏻

[@sikw]

Hey bloxsy! Is it worth buying the JMascis signature?

[@bloxsy_]

I like it but mine is slightly different to the original model because it has different parts. Different pickups and hardware. So I can’t really say about the original model.

[@solucian]

Self titled has the tastiest QOTSA riffs imo

[@Mitchelskater]

honorable mention the unreleased song from the desert sessions rickshaw

[@richardnorman7045]

👌

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

👏 Like deployed 👍 😎🎸✅️

[@bloxsy_]

Thank you 🙏

[@picadk]

what string gauges are those ? and how you kept them in place in this mustang bridge ? :)

[@bloxsy_]

11s. It was a bit of a struggle and it would probably have been better with the tunomatic bridge

[@TinkyWinky13]

Super🎉🎉🎉

[@Nikkifor]

lost art of keeping a secret of nancy boy

[@bloxsy_]

Similar chords for sure

[@r.m.solympic6857]

Kyuss riffs please for the love of God

[@lukasbohm7943]

kyuss riffs soon?

[@liamQOTSA]

😈😈😈😈

[@wbm3085]

What tuning?

[@bloxsy_]

C Standard for the Jazzmaster and E Standard tuning for the Les Paul

[@pedruxxo]

#qotsa4ever!!!!!!!!

[@El_Bersaker]

Tune?

[@JaneKopp]

¿C standard?

[@bloxsy_]

Yeah for the jazzmaster. The others are in standard

[@mattbelloni]

Jazzmaster is in C standard I guess?

[@bloxsy_]

That's right

[@Theworthyton.]

Are theres any tones this guy can't nail? 😅
