[@JiNKA]

Icarus Died.

[@skybrid8502]

Exactly what came to mind

[@awgeezslick8802]

By who? I can’t find this song

[@skybrid8502]

@@awgeezslick8802 the comment was a point out to the song in the video being similar to "Icarus Lives" by Periphery

[@thwoo-]

Was gonna make some kinda icarus joke but then I saw you already had

[@soulrebornofficial]

Hey man, your are great but this is Icarus!?!?

[@MrAndrewCreech]

Congrats. You made the Kirkland version of Icarus Lives.

[@wingsoficarus1139]

Kirkland is good though

[@llObscurell]

Dont you ever disrepect kirkland kettle chips.

[@mouthfulacoque3580]

so accurate

[@mouthfulacoque3580]

​@@llObscurelldon't imply disrespect, man. we all love kirkland here

[@AntilifeHorde]

Kirkland is great though...

[@_trashvis_]

im so glad this came up on my recommended. i was wondering how i could recreate that effect but all i had to do was drop the gain

[@ryan-dxp]

A nice split coil or single coil pickup kills it too!

[@albertkotze8974]

Roll your guitars volume down to just before it goes silent. You can get some really cool less aggressive tones that way without having to adjust your amps settings

[@mouthfulacoque3580]

my favorite method is make a tight fist, pinch the pick between the pad of yout thumb and the outside of your index finger, adjust the saddle hieght AND position of your low string so that they are setup correctly (tighten if sharp then raise if sharp, keep an all-strings curve or radius if it can be helped. this setup will last for months) and then try messing with the tone and volume knobs. If you have a tweeter, but your gain sounds great? roll back the tone. have a djent guitar but no bark? volume knob. still no bark? turn up the amp gain, lower the amp volume, put two distortions back to back at low gain. i personally use a palisades and a dreamcrusher from EQD, but you can do a BOSS Blues Breaker into anything to, first, mimic the palisades, and achieve a tight, full bodied distortion sound

[@EverlastingSleepCO]

Dispossession by Northlane is the song that made me learn this.

[@big_tuna8]

that's PERFECT, i have this riff and i feel like it needs an intro and bro you just gave THE PERFECT advice, BLESS

[@micah8943]

Also consider applying a high pass filter for the intro, it really creates that big contrast when you drop octaves and the bass comes in

[@RikJSmith]

Excellent EQ tip !! I always use both the Hi AND Low Filter for a situation like this . And then possibly make the Bass and the Drums wait to kick in on the 4th beat . But I have no doubt you already know this and you were probably using this Technique way before me . Stay safe , Dude ! 🎸

[@stevebanning902]

what bass?

[@SamBrockmann]

This is an effective technique for any genre. Play the riff higher up, and then drop it down an octave. Boom. Instant power.

[@corbanjames8216]

Bro I saw this and tried it the day after on my guitar and came up with a riff in like 2 minutes, sent to my band mates and no shit they said "yo that's djent as fuck"😂

[@ettuShaggy]

Absolutely Beautiful guitar.

[@luKB01]

Funnily enough i’ve just learnt ‘Dancers to a Discordant System’ and this is the exact technique Meshuggah uses!!

[@soysauce9296]

It's almost like they're the OG Godfathers to the "Djent" wave.

[@luKB01]

@@soysauce9296 Almost just exactly that

[@EmileA-gs1kk]

That was the first thing i thought of, but then when the riff came in it sounded more like Icarus Lives by Periphery

[@Linguae_Music]

When you play it an octave higher you should reverse the order of the notes, like a temporal reversal of the riff and then switch from 4/4 in the higher octave to 7/4 in the lower octave Now, you're djenting. :P

[@SimonYan0818]

Genius

[@CKILBY-zu7fq]

Ivw been watching 👀 i liike what you show. Cool, thanks👍

[@narcsurvivor6969]

Dude, that was sick. Thanks for the ideas

[@NylTheMC]

That’s such a Jim Root guitar tone, I fvcking love it

[@uddhav1080]

It’s the mark holcomb signature

[@CactusCJ]

Damn I felt that in my heart!

[@screamkeeper]

Got my sub🤘

[@black1blade74]

Literally every periphery song

[@stickychocolate8155]

Really? What else besides Icarus Lives?

[@minisurfbanana]

Not

[@soysauce9296]

Listens to Icarus Lives once, and claims to "know" Periphery.

[@Remedy462]

Wow, an informative guitar video that is actually applicable! Good job buddy! 😎

[@nuke97]

Strong Korn vibes!

[@msparkes1990]

Loving korns new djent album :)

[@Dvncann]

Ah shit, here we go. Went from 100-1000 in like 2 weeks. Love your videos my guy

[@b123kotey]

Your guitar collection 😲

[@Ppuffdiddleydangdoof]

Goddam is that heavy. I love your videos, thank you.

[@connoriquada5429]

I’m glad virtually every human being in these comments agreed this sounds like Icarus lives 😂😂

[@trevormatejcik8809]

Oh fk yeah my dude let's go

[@ChopTop399]

I don’t know about the whole djent thing but I think you just made a song for Korn without knowing!

[@cringegasm7400]

Hahahaha aye sounds like 🌽

[@SpiritofPoison]

was gonna say that lol. could definitely be something from their first album.

[@iconofsin5886]

You sir are a djentleman for giving us a nice tip.

[@KRUNK42069]

Sir that's P L A G I A R I S M

[@ProducerRyan]

Sounds awesome

[@joeymadara7266]

Grooooovy

[@m3t4ldood]

I had that's actually a legit music tip I first learned it from watching Leo

[@davitharutyunyan5777]

A good one tbh but I think that was like really obvious. Apart from what he had said you can also make it faster. But I really prefer chords and arpegios to prepare the listener for the chord change and be abel to do crazy time signatures and really fast melpdys and that will not be oberwhelming the listener. But also if the part should be on clean than I try to make something active in that chord change refering to polyphia. Yea and second guitar can help a lot via playing the chords and the melody will be played an octave higher and even if its really shreddy the whole emotion is very easy to understand for the listener

[@НикитаЛандышев-б5ь]

This James Hetfield mustache rocks!

[@jasonday8334]

Happy New Years

[@Dr.Stoeffloev]

Honestly reminds me of dead bodies everywhere by korn

[@StevenDiLeo]

Ah yes the good old octave trick ❤

[@joshwestlake375]

I like when they put a crisp airy tone on the higher octave into for a nice am radio sorta feel

[@blumblum_is_unfunny44]

Reminds me SO MUCH like icarus lives

[@jaydenspencemusic]

Bruh I almost thought that was a Korn riff with that bass and drum tone ngl It djents

[@leshreddur]

Holy... I was kinda already doing this sometimes. Good idea.

[@JohnR436]

Whew, I thought you were going to steal this idea I was going to use for a song I was working on, that was a close one.

[@OkGrandmaYuhurtnme]

Thanks man it’s all jen

[@SENORxMUERTO]

I feel like that was more thrash than anything, ThraD'jent

[@PainfuelProductions]

old trick, goes back to punk era

[@Yurichantaske]

I feel like icarus lives became a rick roll of djent

[@Guacamolian]

Ab is the tuning i like to use on my 7 string too

[@jaypickard]

The kick drum sounds like a COD hitmarker

[@drwoah7242]

That first tone is wild bro💀

[@Beef_Cooker]

Something I do when I make riffs is not only do I play a ton of riffs until I find one I like, sometimes I do a divebomb or a big slide just so I can have a weird noise introducing the riff 😂

[@robertfraser7199]

Dime started this with cowboys from hell riff.

[@jeffreyedwards767]

let's what see what you got ,,don't hold back °•°• ● slayer ●

[@Baltimore813]

Reminds me of the way Pollution by Limp Bizkit is set up on 3$ Bill Y'All

[@continuum288]

HAHAHA! That's not djent.. That's new metal lol.. And that snare is great!

[@DarkSoulx7]

Drop Ab/A flat is the same as Drop G#. I'm just leaving this here for the uninformed and the noobs. I've been playing guitar for 15 years and just found this out last year while getting into music theory.

[@ryan-dxp]

Darn straight!

[@ej1_drew]

... the sun destroyed icuras' wings this time 😢

[@kotymccallister5150]

Basically what Periphery did for Icarus Lives

[@keithhart6200]

You can have the same effect slightly muting your top string if you have a 6 string

[@julianbeira2492]

sounds killer

[@greyguy9767]

I knew I was playing country wrong.

[@thwoo-]

My guy wrote aldi’s own brand version of icarus lives.

[@trieditdied8681]

Fuuuuuuuuuck yes

[@Handsofakiller19]

I have the same guitar haha I Drop G though

[@Sid-uc5ms]

Similar to Tonga by Jason Richardson

[@escaping_purgatory]

Gene Wilder is just staring at me. I'm terrified

[@LucasMastropasqua]

This was a great tip. Any chance you’ll do a video with the Jake Bowen guitar next?

[@elihyland4781]

Noice

[@clarkbridge8004]

Boutique metal

[@thisguy2973]

Icarus!!!

[@MikeHunt.420]

Sounds a tiny bit like if Korn and periphery had a baby

[@MehsenIsrael]

Shalom Family 🙏🏾 Yep that's the sound I want. All Praises to The Lord The God Almighty of Israel "HalleluYah"

[@JustinOliverMusic]

That sounded very Nu-metal to me. I like it.

[@fenrirskeane2420]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@virtualnuke-bl5ym]

Oh Kurn it up Korn

[@agustinurbano]

Gracias bro, I ain’t even think about octaves changes a string down 💀

[@basedgonkdroid3821]

I like making an ambient background a dissonance but my riffs are usually just 0 and 1’s.. how do I make good riffs with notes- what scales do I use?

[@brandon6759]

Dropping your tuning doesn’t increase your access to notes. It just moves what you can play. Only dropping the E string makes that difference on any amount of strings.

[@jescollo]

Or B

[@SeniorFeliz]

Is there a thing as funky Degent?

[@magmastarclash]

i really need this it really sounds like "icarus lives"

[@Mikurusenpai]

Icarus when he had flown too far from the sun

[@AmO_Ogh]

icarus lives but watered down?

[@claytonmonk6926]

Am I the only one who thought this riff sounded like the intro song to MXC?

[@reboooot]

How is that thing for sound? prs is a great company but ive never heard or tried their 7 string

[@boofmiester]

icarus died watching this

[@MarkToast99]

If slipknot wrote Icarus Lives

[@Ottophil]

djent sounds like the nu metal i was doing 25 years ago

[@themysteriousoa4466]

I wonder if he can play this Djent: Bam-bukah. Bam-bukah Bam-bukah Bam-buh Bam-bukah. Bam-bukah. Bam-bukah bam-buh bam-buh, BUH NUH! Bam-bukah. Bam-bukah bam-bukah bam-buh bam-bukah. Bam-bukah bam-buh. BUN NUH! *This is just the first part of the full thing!*

[@fuscox1379]

I mean you gotta play a Periphery-like riff, if you’re using a Mark Holcomb PRS right !😂

[@Watershed47]

Yeah Icarus Lives, but Korn before that!

[@jaymesmustaine684]

What are you dropped down a half step from?

[@SlyHikari03]

Icarus lived

[@denniskielton2447]

Not all inspired by Icarus, eh 😂

[@bmint]

4 string cigar box player here, I’ll show myself the door.. just joking..

[@brandonhoward8239]

can i just say i really appreciate you saying drop Ab instead of drop G#.

[@ryan-dxp]

Some people just work on flat brains. I'm one of 'em!

[@BP-or2iu]

I don’t know what Icarus is. But this sounds like a nu metal method. I feel like this is a Limp Bizkit method.

[@jayyoutube8790]

Thought you were playing the opening song to “MXC.. the most extreme elimination challenge”..😂😂😂”Kenny Blankenship and Vic Rammano!!” Don’t get eliminated!! 😂😂 jk
