@Adam Bailey I don't know enough theory to explain in better detail, but regardless of tuning maaany popular "core" riffs hinge on the notes found on the 5th, 7th and 8th frets of your E-A-D strings

​@grimlok3487 it's the first 3 notes of a minor scale. In drop C if you 578 on the G string, it's C D Eb which plays nice with chugging on the C string.

I'm currently at the stage where I can get them somewhat reliably but not after playing anything longer before. So I play 15 nice ones and then okay two regular bars and just can't get one at the end of that. It's a painful process. Still have some hope though.

Why is it called 5-7-8?

[@FairyCRat]

Because in order to play it, you alternate between palm-muting the open 6th string, and playing frets 5 7 and 8 on the 5th string. At least that's in drop tuning. If you play in standard (more common in melodeath than in metalcore) then it's 7-8-10.
