Make Them Suffer - Doomswitch (Guitar & Bass Playthrough)

[@gabrejj]

2:09 damn, this part hits hard af.

[@chriskeeling223]

Bro, you ain't wrong.. So fkn good

[@jacksonislegend]

The picking hand for that part is pretty tricky. Such a sick riff and super fun to play once you get it down

[@ThatShitGood]

Shits nasty af ngl

[@laser979]

Listen to contraband. This riff is right out of the song!

[@hex_a_lexa]

I love the throwback to Contraband @2:08 what a riff ❤ 🤘🤘

[@uppo9301]

Knew I recognized it somewhere

[@nGuruu]

this is not an ode to contraband. it's literally a riff he has put in many songs over the years if you listen to their older stuff. take a listen. :)

[@hex_a_lexa]

@@nGuruu haven't heard all the old stuff but a lot. First time I heard it was in Contraband and then in this. Only two times I've heard it.

[@str1897]

Nice to get an instrumental version ! This song is incredible, I hope we get a Drum Playthrough of it !

I put him and Jesse Cash in that bracket

Same as everybody in the genre

this is pretty boring tbh. it’s like 2 riffs and chugs

[@diegonz0802]

@@mustbewasabi So you can't play it, right?

[@GoshDarnBarnOwls]

That chorus is a thing beauty

[@The_KlaVra]

Man, Imagine you get the job as a bassist and you encounter the monster that is Nick, the guitar player. Madman looks like a University Professor that is working on Harvard and busts the craziest riffs and ideas out there... That alone, shows you how badass this is... The fact that the whole band can follow him and serve him to make the tastiest songs ever...

[@mobilestew9294]

Nick's guitar parts are always so bouncy and groovy. Especially that breakdown at the end!

[@paulwittek2660]

Dude was like, "Hey, we're gonna start using a new tuning... add another string..." and then just writes one of the coolest songs I've heard in a long time.

[@adammotter7430]

What tuning is it?

[@sleepstaticmass]

@@adammotter7430 Drop E

[@peniletouch]

Because 7 string tunings are suddenly a new thing lol

[@paulwittek2660]

@@adammotter7430 Drop-E/Drop-A E A E A D F# B

[@paulwittek2660]

@@peniletouch Not exactly new territory. Mike Mushok from Staind immediately springs to mind as the first person I heard use this kind of "open" tuning (Ab Db Ab Db Gb Bb, like the lower six of a seven string, rather than a six in Drop-D with an added low A), as far as anything resembling metal music. But in this kind of context, as well as music by bands like Northlane, it is kind of new. I've heard it used more for chordy, melodic stuff than the more notey, technical heavy music coming out the last several years. All sus2s and sus4s, previously. It's a cool tuning that will mess with your brain for a long time when you switch to it. Might just be Drop-E to some, but this dude added a whole new string to his guitar and tuned it in a way where he can't just "move everything down," then wrote a track that kills it, using techniques he's probably still adjusting to because of years of muscle memory. All that string-skipping he does throughout the song is not incredibly easy to do cleanly, and now the distances he's used to crossing are different. Chord shapes and scales are all different on the lowest strings. Three-note sus, minor, and major chords on the lowest three strings are slightly different shapes. Octaves using the lowest four strings are different. He may not have invented anything, but he had to adjust to a lot.

[@JuanCruzFabi]

2:08 and 3:42 are an amazing guitar compossition

[@clintbrooks97]

That riffdown was so sick. Bro played it effortlessly.

[@clintbrooks97]

2:09

[@jacksonislegend]

That riff is maybe not quite as difficult as it sounds, but it still took me a while to get it down. The picking hand is the hardest part because of all the string skipping and alternate picking. Such a sick riff and track in general

[@clintbrooks97]

@@jacksonislegend it’s the left hand for me haha

[@WomTez]

Song of 22 by a long mile. Can't get enough of it

[@soundgearmaster2290]

3:09 that tempo is crazy🔥🔥🔥

[@divercetti]

I´ts amazing, this version allows you to hear all the details in the background

[@0xotHikRu]

After this video I thought that this is instrumental by-design track. Was very surprised to discover in the end, that this is (as I understand) just version with excluded vocals, and this is a song by-design. I think this is great, that even without the vocals - tune is still works pretty good as instrumental track :)

[@callsignblaze4388]

Don’t let their calm demeanor fool you, both of these guys are one chord away from doing full ass flips.

[@aidandix7296]

This right here really inspired me to pick up my guitar and challange myself again, i got rusty and this made me wanna clean up that rust

[@darkstar0470]

Saw this band live in November and damn was it pro af. Great energy in the crowd, fantastic sound, performance, they had it all dude.

[@Austiego5000]

Wow! Beautifully played gentlemen! Bravo!

This whole song is just a work of art

Maybe Im bad at music but I heard a lot of different/neat stuff that I didnt catch in the full mix. Thanks for this!

This song is such a fckn banger! I’ve been listening to it nonstop

I wish they used the actual audio of the play through and not the studio audio, but this is still rad

This song is an absolute banger straight from the get go!!

This video just gave me the push i needed to buy a 7 string. Fn awesome! And thank you! 🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥

[@ojitxs]

Sick!! 🔥

[@JayFFAFAlesanaES]

I like the chorus, the interesting off key note and the odd time signature creating an abrupt end. Also, the melody is very nice. The second verse is awesome and complex, too. Never been a big breakdown fan, but it is not bad for one.

[@interdimensionalsloth6981]

Yeah, that off key note threw me off at first. I was like.. wait a minute lmao

[@iamyetimanYT]

That suspended note in the chorus is a make them suffer staple. Never afraid to throw in a major turn for the chorus. Part of which makes them so good

[@keyseee]

4:03 I wish this part was longer

Gosh damn I love this song man

[@ultratacoRX7]

This is the song that finally made me buy a 7 string. Still can't play it but can at least fake it enough to have fun and play along in parts by just playing singles notes instead of the fast double notes.

Man, this song is awesome. I've figured out how to play most of it, but that part at 2:08 is insane. I can only keep up with that riff at 0.75x playback speed :/

[@VapourRose]

Anyone got an idea what tunning this is in? The bass and guitar not using the same notes has me wondering!

[@iamyetimanYT]

Guitar is EAEADGB I think. They’ve always used AEADGBE but added that low E for this song. The bass has me stumped

[@papabutter21]

@@iamyetimanYTbass is drop a as well as guitar with an added low e

[@fromdepthswerise3024]

@iamyetiman up until Doomswitch Nick was using drop A on a six string. It looks like he's using open E (EAEADGB) on a 7 string now.

[@tylerjackson2906]

hey there was an article nick did that went with this vid where he talks gear nerd stuff I found with some interwebs sleuthing I'm here to C&P it to my fellow nick acolytes "“My two main guitars are Jacksons,” said McLernon. “We play in two different tunings - 6 strings in drop A and the 7 string is in the same tuning with an added low E on the 7th string. “The 7 string is a multi scale which goes from 25.5” to 27”. The 7th string is fitted with an .80. They are both soloists. It’s hard for me to pick a favourite but I can’t ignore the quality of build of my Concept Series SLAT7P. The Neural DSP Quad Cortex contains all the effects and ‘captures’ I need to play my guitar live. " this man has essentially an elevator cable sized string for the low E fuckin a

[@iamyetimanYT]

I’d love to know how Jaya tunes his bass for the drop E songs

[@noompsieOG]

What do mean ? You mean when they play live or ?

[@petergamble6968]

Here it looks like his 5 string is tuned to drop A. Every time the guitar hits the low E, the bass hits the 7th fret. It's a cool adaptation.

[@DMxExMxO]

Drop A then match the open notes with the E string or 7th fret on the low A, trying to go lower than drop G is very muddy on bass unless your guitar is specifically set up for it so it’s easier to just tune to an E1 instead of an E0 for clarity.

[@iamyetimanYT]

@@DMxExMxO yeah I thought so. That’s what confuses me about recording bass on drop E songs and whatnot

if there's 0 audio of them actually playing at this moment is it really a playthrough? This reminds me of bands in the early 2010s having "live videos" and it's literally just a video with the studio track added...Song rips but c'mon I wanna hear them actually playing...
