My favorite KORN riffs on 8 String Guitar

[@checkthedist]

not the difficult but still badass riffs from KORN Did my time Here to stay Somebody Someone Insane Right Now Deep Inside Rotting in Vain Black is the Soul and, off course, Blind

[@thebeautywithinthedestruct3792]

This is in A standard right?.

[@checkthedist]

Guitar tuned in drop E

[@thebeautywithinthedestruct3792]

Drop G would be sick too.

[@groovenx3145]

:( No Thoughtless but good you didn't forget Blind lol.Also what's a good gauge for Drop E I see you gave the Agile a rest

[@checkthedist]

@@groovenx3145 I use 10-74 for this guitar

[@jamesnelson1169]

The 8 string gave the Korn songs a new dimension of sound they sound really good on a 8 string great job man.

[@awonderingoneil206]

That metallic distortion is so gritty and mean. The eighth string just crushes, combined with the part mute its just 😍

[@aaronhachez9927]

Its like meshuggah or humanitys last breath jamming with Korn! Badass....

[@zacharyk7225]

8-string just makes Korn sound more like Korn

[@jafnia2876]

Exactly! Korn should explore this.

[@KhyrisEidan]

@@jafnia2876 I heard they were doing to try it out on either The Nothing or Requiem. It was one the newest albums. I forget..

[@doubleone8368]

That’s the reason why they have 7 strings to begin with. It made them stand out

[@Zeagods-CyberShadow]

Yeee

[@KR_GreySkies]

Serenity of suffering was supposed to be all 8 string guitar. Jonathan wasn't feeling the tone so the changed it. Black is the soul was one of the first songs written on 8 string.

[@Hunter-nw8vx]

I'm dying for an entire cover of their self-titled album by you now and that 8 string guitar is absolutely skull crushingly heavy!

[@meantime69]

THIS ^^^ OR SEVENDUST ,HOME, OR DEFTONES 1ST OR SLIPKNOT 1ST SO GOOD MAN

[@jafnia2876]

@@meantime69 sevendust would be great too

[@DJENTISNTNOTAGENRE]

Hearing this makes me really wanna hear Head and Munky try to make some music with an 8-string. I'm sure it would sound dope and massive like you made it sound here! Great tone you have here, too! Fits well with their material! 🤘

[@blackened872]

NorthtonesDeflane305 check out Andrew baena’s video of korn downtuned and he said korn is a lot like emmure as far as guitar goes.

[@mod3rnwarrior34]

They actually do play at least four songs on an 8 string tuned to E1 standard. The four that I found are called: Bitch We Got a Problem, Illuminati, Way Too Far, and Haze.

[@northtimo666]

Bleeding Out is also played on an 8-string by them. They actually experimented a lot more with 8-strings for Serenity of suffering but they thought it sounds too much like Meshuggah. But I’d love to hear them try it out for once and properly.

[@mod3rnwarrior34]

NorthTimo Very interesting!

[@northtimo666]

Modern Warrior Yeah. Head’s band Love and Death experimented with f# or f tuning for i w8 4 u but with a baritone guitar. That is kinda Korn would sound with an 8-string heavy riffage. Check it out!

[@cowsdotricks]

KoRn and 8 string = beautiful tasty crunch

[@anonshadow2239]

Fuck YES. This is brutally beautiful in a sick way.

[@michaelhead5997]

This right gets me excited. Just got a 7 string after 20 odd years of playing.

[@memebigboy1946]

My god. 8 strings make everything heavier. Great video

[@Sixfootdig]

I just ordered the black cherry version of that guitar about 20 minutes ago haha. Nice playing bro

[@altpath]

I love that you made a bonafide Melody and not just a bunch of pieces chopped together

[@execprotect6147]

I read somewhere that the 2012 album was written and intended to be all on 8 strings but Jonathin couldn't get the vocals to match.

[@scottnorton5670]

Also they’re new record was that way as well.

[@TheAsylum23]

Love korn and love this video!!

[@tatoo190]

Great choice starting with Did My Time

[@luciferhades9805]

Holy shit, dude! You have it there! Very well executed!

[@infernocturneofficial9178]

Great job man! I would love to hear part 2!! Especially riffs like Die Yet Another Night, Lost, Swallow, Souvenir, Dead Bodies Everywhere, Embrace, Thoughtless, Here It Comes Again...

[@shadowscar4841]

Man, I wish that you lived in Jacksonville, FL. So that I could convince you to join my band. I need a guitarist like you. 😈🤘

This popped on the recommended section and it makes me wish I saw this a lot sooner Subscribed

[@nuke97]

Great production, kick ass Tone, and of course great playing!

[@sarondiesel588]

Can you do some covers of their Nothing album? Or just play some riffs from it with your 8 string?

[@ericirwin413]

Digitech Whammy DT Pitch Shifting Pedal's help if you don't have an 8 string making your regular 6 string sound like an 8 string which I like to do with mine when I feel like it!! 🎸🎶🎶🎶

[@adrianacaracciollo5125]

Amazing sound! Love Korn!

Love the medley... Great job!

Мне кажется, что Alex единственный человек, который начал Korn не с Blind)))

[@TH3R4ND0M.]

I think that you'd must rewrite this video title as: "The best Djent of Korn"...rsrsrs

[@funnyperson4027]

Lmao that probably pissed someone off

[@drednac]

I was growing up with this .. still great riffs

[@0ktothorp]

Man, Here to Stay fits an 8-string really well :O

Great line of Videos dude, keep on it... Try to make some "Keith Merrow" Riffs it could be Awesome :)

[@tonya4157]

*applause* nice work man.

[@mattball420]

All the little bends make me question the evertune on his signature model lol

[@rockmetalguys]

Original korn sounds heavier in my opinion because the bass guitar plays much lower. And the bass guitar is a huuuge part of their sound and actually all modern music in any genre. When you play 8 string in F# or even E you cant effectively play bass octave below that because there is almost no sound there so you have to play higher and mix turns out sounding even lighter. So there is always compromise on exremely low tunings. Great playing man!

[@craigmchugh9978]

maybe the bass could use a pitch shift pedal and go down another octave?

[@uncroppedsoop]

Well that's just not true, you can just make out the bass less. The mix sounds heavier because as a whole it's lower. Think of it this way: the guitar makes up the weight, and the bass is its backbone

[@ChristofferKeizer]

Love the black C-8.

[@tommyrr9106]

Very nice . I feel so good

[@wakywhatever5360]

That's a gorgeous guitar

[@RFSA180]

[@ugurutkuuslu]

dude good job.can i ask 2 question.whats your tune E B E A ?(8 string e drop) and whats your string brand.9-65 or heavy bottom 9-80 thanks

[@checkthedist]

Yes it's drop E, i used 10-74 for this guitar mostly

[@nateflores12383]

This is just making me miss my 8 string so bad... Anyone selling one?

[@stein0niets]

the 8 string np.. the emgs really break vibe for me nothing personal just sound wise.. good chops and love the Schecter, soundwise just not the vibe for me. Big KoRn and 8 string fan but this is something else entirely

[@stein0niets]

this guitar has good sustain.. KoRn guitars have less and more attack and uptuning by hard strikes its part of the sound..

[@alexwolf6607]

Лайк за хелрайзер! Отличнейший сгармонизированный инструмент

Bro, what gauge strings are those? Is your F# string an .80 or .84? Your whaling on those strings and it ain’t going out of tune. I just bought a Schecter Hybrid C8. It’s got a 28” scale and the stock stings suck ass

There's just something about the sound you can add to that to make the sound pop to make even more better then what it is! PopKorn 4:43 Add a pitch Shifting Pedal right in that part! I play guitar also btw

Not good on 8 string still 7 can get the best tone and tuning for drop A!

Tbh 8 string is bass player territory. Too low, not able to differentiate between bass and guitar anymore, but nice riffs and i love them all. Great job.

so basically mick gordon

[@djentgod]

Жалко они сами на 8 не перешли (хотя попытка была, вроде Манк даже у Дино Бурритоса просил чтоб тот самолично показал как че на РыГэ228), что еще раз показало отсутствие у них какой-либо независимости и что нужно ездить как цирковые клоуны играть все песни в первоисходнике. Как на 8 звучит мне больше нравится. И творчество Хэда, шо Love&Death, где он в Гхэ играл.
