CHELSEA GRIN Guitar Riff Evolution (2008-2018)

In this video I picked my favorite guitar riffs from deathcore legends CHELSEA GRIN. These riffs are all played in either Drop A or G on a 7 string guitar, or Drop E on an 8 string guitar.

on recreant theres a sweep solo kinda thing where theres a pull off and hammer on on the high e string

Damn this really does sound like chelsea grin

[@fleshtaffy]

True, I think it's their riffs

[@Jamesc_music]

You'd really think they are wouldn't you

Sounds better that the original pieces to me

[@blendernoob64]

See You Soon is still one of the sickest riffs in a deathcore song ever!

[@beano_burrito]

i made the stank face as soon as it came on.

[@kittenromero6317]

See You soon is one of my favorite

[@infinitedeath4567]

I thought the same thing when it came out. Best riff on the album.

[@justevan877]

If I had a dime for ever time I have played that song I could buy an Aristedes 007

[@infinitedeath4567]

Evan Collins I’ll seriously never forget the first time I heard that riff.

[@JoseGonzalez-fn8wo]

Man I miss the good old Chelsea Grin! I released my inner demons with Alex’s screams and gnarly riffs. By far one of my favorite deathcore screamers!

[@joshuagarcia8547]

Is it me or does Alex have more of a shrill than a scream.like he's a demon so full of hate that it just shows he's cut from a different cloth?

I only just realised the Ab stands for you name haha, i genuinely thought it was for A flat and would become a guitar soley for that tuning. God I'm stupid

[@jamesrowe2055]

Man Andrew you are so lucky you got the best friends in the world and that is the coolest guitar I've ever seen in my life

[@regdenee]

Until this very day I still think that My Damnation has some of the best stuff of CG, especially with the old line up. The new stuff is killer though even if it's an entirely new band with different members and Tom Barber is really the best replacement they could've found for Alex. He really stepped up the game of the entire sound.

[@blakedout]

I'd love to hear Within The Ruins next

[@arthyetd6094]

Unpopular opinion : Ashes To Ashes was, is and will ever be their best album! Now that 3/4 of the CG fan base hates me, I have to say : Amazing video as always!

[@BaenaCarcosa]

Evolve EP and their newest albums are my favs personally

[@arthyetd6094]

@@BaenaCarcosa Evolve is incredible too! And Eternal Nightmare is a huge banger, of course! But, to me, they'll never top Asses To Asses !

[@zerozeeros]

Common denominator is Jason's presence haha. But yet the evolve ep and ashes are my faves. The melody does tonnes for their sound

[@arthyetd6094]

@@zerozeeros definitely!

[@6juicebag9]

Bro, personally My Damnation is their peak. The whole album has an eerie and evil feel to it both lyrically and musically that none of their other albums capture.

[@TheBANDEMIC]

best structures riffs... they had some fire ass riffs especially the song parazlyed

[@victorupreti6285]

I love new Chelsea grin but Ashes to Ashes is hands down one of my favorite albums I really wish they did more “prog” with deathcore

[@drewharper1891]

I have to say this was a really wholesome and interesting video. I learned a lot from this thank you Andrew! 🤟

[@aaradicatin12]

A little disappointed Sonnet Of The Wretched wasn't here but that's okay! Great video Andrew!

[@gutcheckfm]

I think Don't Ask Don't Tell era CG was such a missed opportunity. It's so distinct out of all of their catalog and a Deathcore direction with heavy vocals and drumming but with those sorts of instrumentals would be a SPLENDED idea

[@kanoaikawach]

They didn't like Jason Richardson's changes.

[@spagward]

I love the breakdown in Hostage! My absolute favorite from the atom Barber era!!!

It’s Ya Boi. Jason Richardson but with thiccc string gauges

Whats stopping you from trying out for chelsea grin my guy? Youd be perfect for them

[@oyemrkrabs6084]

Yea they could use a second guitarist instead of 1 bassist and 1 guitarist

How about "if Mudvayne tuned down" or " if Three Days Grace tuned down"? I'd like to see that

Genuinely think the Aristides is one of the best sounding 7 Strings I've ever heard. Might sell a lung or two to purchase one in future...

[@MrCholoPants3415]

Fuckin $3,500 for a guitar that sounds, plays, and has the exact same features as a $1000-$2000 guitar.

[@RJFHMusic]

@@MrCholoPants3415 Not sure about same materials, considering Aristides don't use any wood on their guitar builds to my knowledge

[@cazza710]

@@MrCholoPants3415 you clearly dont have any idea what you're talking about, so stop talking

[@MrCholoPants3415]

cazza710 cazza710 Keep dreaming about a guitar you’ll never have. They all fucking sound and play the same after a certain limit. I haven’t played an Aristides, and I don’t need to. People buy them for the novelty, not because they’re any better than a fucking decked out Schecter SLS with every single component imaginable sold for $1250. Just one example of a cheaper guitar that has more features than an Aristides for half the price. That schecter example has about $3k worth of features in it, and it’s only the price it is because it’s manufactured in South Korea. It plays just as well as my Kiesel and Mayones guitars and it actually has more value. Stop being a pretentious douche bag, it’s clear your collection isn’t very large if you’re putting stuff like this on a pedestal. It’s a trend. I love the look of these guitars and I will likely buy one, and it will neither play, nor sound better, than any of the other guitars I have in the “”premium”” range. That schecter example is less than half the price of an aristides and I pick it up more than I pick up my overpriced Mayones... and I fucking love my overpriced Mayones.

[@RJFHMusic]

I'll just learn to photosynthesize like Spongebob. Who needs food. Cheers for your opinion though, you seem like a really cool dude! Hope you enjoy your Kiesel, Schecter and Mayones, and anything else in your large collection of 'premium' guitars, whatever they might be! Hope you have a wonderful morning and find something that cheers you up abit more today.

[@Mayzek]

Haven’t heard anything from Chelsea Grin since Alex Koehler peace’d out but after seeing this imma have to check out everything they’ve made after that 🤔 good shit btw, wish I could play some songs from this band on Guitar but there’s no tutorials anywhere

[@matthewhale9831]

I KNEW IT!

[@MrCholoPants3415]

Skipped out on the insane Richardson riffs hahaha. Kidding, VERY few people can play that stuff... And it's not exactly fun to learn or play anyways. Love the videos as always. The new guitar is sexy af

Oof, that green Aristides is 🔥🔥🔥

[@Rob_Cary]

It's crazy how much you can tell when their current guitar player came in. Everything becomes less stale and more creative from a songwriting standpoint.

[@slxxpyhollow]

MAAAN I miss Michael Stafford so much. Michael on lead guitar and Alex on vocals WAS Chelsea Grin. It isn't the same band without those two. My Damnation is a masterpiece of a record, front to back. Incredible vocals I have never heard anyone replicate, not even Alex, and absolutely *amazing* guitar playing from Michael.

[@jdc6927]

Man, that Arisitides sound good in the mix.

[@patrickhall1615]

You should do static x next lol

[@peehandshihtzu]

Sic!

[@pattol666]

How do you get that tone? What vst you using for this vid? The tone is insane. Are you double tracking your guitars in the mix as well?

[@almukafamuhammad7977]

Playing with fire full pleaseee wkwk

[@forthebetter1996]

Jason Richardson was the best thing to happen to CG imo. I’ve always been a huge fan of all of their stuff but Evolve is so sick! The Second Coming is my jam

[@LightlessDimension]

My Damnation was their best album. Such a unique one honestly, the vocals were out of this world qnd the riffs and ambiance of every track was dark af.

[@Mindartcreativity]

Dude, what guitar is used for 'Skin Deep' ? Looks and sounds sick!

[@The_Crooked_Path]

A small criticism is that the riff behind the leads in the chorus of Don't Ask Don't Tell isn't played 8 0 3 5th chords. They're these big chords over 5 strings and it's 8 0 15 and the way the bass is mixed makes it sound like a 3.

[@Makron220]

Can you do In Flames?

[@LaGGyXdm]

Man. How do I go from brand new player to learning some CG?!

You should do Anzu tuned down. It will be just extreme poopies in the panties. They already tune super low to G#0 and F0 on a 9 string Legator.

[@JG-fx2ez]

How do you get your guitars to sound like this? How do you get that tone? Is tuning the strings enough or is there something that offers these effects? Help please, or I’m gonna just hire an instructor 😩😩
