Periphery Workshop / Master Class 'Ragnarock'

[@SirTroll3]

"I WANNA PUNCH A BABY" LMAO 5:10

[@revanchistz]

I still can't wrap my head around the syncopated chugging riff that's going on at 1:39-2:09

[@thegodphreaker]

+booyahahaha its tricky!

[@rubolf2153]

+Gabriel Kwek it's not the rhythm though, i'm just wondering how he's playing it. is he filling in sixteenth notes with his left hand by slapping on the fretboard or is he actually picking all of them? i don't get it...

[@user-po8ot3db2w]

+Rubolf Guitar yeah he's just picking everything, he's doing mutes between notes with his left hand though

[@captainpiefox9133]

Gabriel Kwek you gotta memorize it, or have written it. Only two ways

[@bubblytar]

It's 2019 and I'm still having a hard time figuring it out hahaha

[@nachorand]

Excellent video to appreciate the brilliant snare placement Matt does, I found this to be the key of that grooooovy character this band has.

[@jordy4054]

i think its great that he played on the minimalist kit to be honest, from a drummers point of view its really interesting to see how he makes it work with just the snare high hat and bass. woot woot.

[@dreaminginnoother]

talk about a minimalist drum set. Cool to see a periphery song so stripped down.

[@OwentheRocker]

Sweet reference to John Browne of the mighty, Monuments at the end their! Didn't realise Mraky got some rhythm chops from Browne, that's awesome!

[@Aconn1997]

They song is originally meant to be played on a 7 string. Alot of people here complaining thats its not on an 8 string.

[@ederolima]

Get Lucky at 4:00

[@snozbarry]

dang dude...you cut too soon. Do you remember what Mark said about the "John Browne technique?" ...thanks for sharing tho...that was sweet.

[@wtfareyousmoking]

T.J. Jones What did he say?

[@jayreyes828]

This stripped-down, unplugged live sound sounds ABSURDLY excellent! Wow! I know I can do these covers without clicks and stripped down drums at open mics now...

[@darumaleo]

i like how he use a 3 piece drumset and be badass anyway

[@ericramirez2433]

Two pieces actually. Which is even more crazy ha. Kick and snare hi hats don't usually count as apart of the kit

[@decapitatedrathead]

Seriously wish you kept recording so I could hear about the chika-waka thing john browne does

[@polkjyui]

The tuned of guitar is the droptuned of axe fx ii (pitch glide...pitch shifted)

[@JamesSilvers18]

Gaetano Soricaro No it isn't. The actual guitar is tuned f# d# g# c# f# a# d# or 7 string drop g# with a low f#

[@MrRchauvin052494]

+Jimmy Silvers you're a little off eboo Think of it this way it's drop c standard with the 7th string dropped to f# to accommodate the f# on the 5th string Pulling that straight from the tabs I downloaded from their website

[@JamesSilvers18]

Roland Chauvin From who's website?

[@xrainymondayx]

I know this is old but just in case you were still wondering, the tuning for this is exactly what Jimmy said. If you doubt, just play along to the last part (it's easy if you watch Mark's fingers) and use your ear lol

[@miki_the_little198]

I talked to John Browne once, and I told him that he and Mark are my favourite prog/djent guitarists and he said that mark influenced his playing in some ways, and its funny because at the end u can hear that mark said he learnt something from john browne its soo cool

[@trevorsaunders1896]

I like how they pan out of Matt during once his most impressive grooves @ 1:38

[@thegodphreaker]

It was worth every cent

[@xOktavariuMx]

Please upload it.

[@1357lover1]

Ragnacock

[@coryparsley3946]

Lol

[@cruzdrum]

how the fuck did i miss this?!?

[@martindepourquery]

without click.. that's what makes you an amazing musician !

[@michaelheaton6925]

Ever been sitting at home in Pensacola, FL, chilling, looking up old Periphery/Matt Halpern vids to stumble across one of them playing in a restuarant in Pensacola, FL?! Seriously, what the actual fuck.. I need knowledge of these types of things. -.-

[@thegodphreaker]

Haha, too funny, you never know, Sometimes cool shit happens around pensacola.

[@XxTRIPPINGxxGUITARxX]

1:30 I FEEL.... THE PRESENCE OF INSANITY!

[@RegalCheers]

I'm pretty sure he was talking about an 8-string. But for the time signatures, it's really just all the polyrhythmns that Matt uses

[@thegodphreaker]

I can post that part if you want

[@cruzdrum]

yes

[@thegodphreaker]

HOW DID YOU KNOW THE SECRET!! WERE YOU HERE!

[@aishwaryauniyal]

dayumm!

[@ryanharrison3777]

his top strap button is coming unscrewed and its bothering me!

[@Samus5164]

I mean, all their songs CAN be played on 8s, because an 8 is a 7 with an extra string. ;)

[@yucksuan]

matt's back with mapex?

[@Ramble55]

Ragnarok* Haha. They sound so good for having such a small set up, especially Matt!

[@thegodphreaker]

Yeah I know, wasn't me. But can't blame the guy for having a good time. It was an exciting day at this little cajun restaurant

[@mindfreak990]

I completely regret not going to this! I just had no money!

[@nova495]

0 dislikes! YES!

[@thegodphreaker]

you had to say something

[@TheBandsPage]

Matt Plays Yamaha I believe

[@Relentless_lel]

live to keep tempo for the backing tracks to be in sync.

[@thegodphreaker]

he says he likes to use lots of ghosts notes to keep things interesting

[@JFMartinMusic]

TheGrundigg can you teach me how to play in H?

[@tylercrews9025]

That was weird why does matt switch from open handed to normal lol.

[@thegodphreaker]

lol youre right good point

[@MikleShnikle]

i wanna 2

[@thegodphreaker]

why i focused on mark lol

[@thegodphreaker]

that's what I said!

[@Blood_fog]

He is

[@zkkzkk32312]

I thought this song was played with a 8 strings no?

[@thegodphreaker]

Nope, they dont use 8 strings for any of their songs, they're all done on 7 stringers

[@FarcelPace]

94Raht49 aside from Ji, of course.

[@thegodphreaker]

You sure thats 8? Sounds like drop A on a 7 string

[@zkkzkk32312]

I know its playable on a 7, but the lowest tuning of this song is a F# at least in the CD it is. and most of other 7's song are in A flat or G i think. so not sure how they manage this, must have been on a different tuned 7 string.

[@FarcelPace]

They normally use a drop Ab tuning for seven strings, but for this they drop the low Ab string to a Gb so that the open Gb string's octave is located at fret 3 on the Eb string. For reference, I'm pretty sure all of their six string songs are in drop C and on JI the 8 string was in a standard Tuning (F#, B, E, A, D, G, B, E)

[@dandreamdrums]

WOW lml

[@imcalledjared]

Aw look at the lonely Line 6 amp XD

[@thegodphreaker]

Not sure, think thats just what he used at this shindig

[@thegodphreaker]

it's a damn shame he had to play this stripped down kit

[@thegodphreaker]

sounds like it, most of their songs sound like odd time signatures but as they explained they really aren't

[@buttsniffjackwagon1]

please!!!! lol

[@crmp6638]

12:31 What's he doing jeez

[@xMrWalkwayx]

Mraky!

[@Samus5164]

I think the only song off the new album that requires an 8 is Ji.

[@mrm1dn1ght53]

he's actually playing out of that little amp

[@lukebogartmix]

lol no theres a 4x12 and an axe-fx behind him

[@thejrfanclub628]

u didnt get the joke luke

[@lukebogartmix]

;( im sad

[@MErickson11]

It's drop G# tuning, then they drop the G# down to an F#.

[@SethchristianBand]

I know what it is... Someone said No clicks Necessary, Evidently they deleted their comment.

[@britscout6496]

Seeing Mark before his PRS makes me feel uncomfortable

[@TheMyersProduction]

Its a 7 string guitar count...

[@SabianTamaDrummer]

Technically its a 2 piece!

[@reeshavgohain]

Couldn't he just leave the camera alone? Daaaaamnit! -.-

[@ssssssssedb]

rok...

[@TheGrundigg]

That's cause he plays on the 7 string but with the 7th dropped to G instead of H or A so basically 8 string would be corret in this case :)

[@vapspartypooper68]

Lol s .. Even with a few instruments they sound good

[@Samus5164]

It's actually not bad at all. Now if I went to a 9 or 10 I'd probably feel half-retarded though

[@SethchristianBand]

No clicks necessary? I don't understand why you would need clicks if your drummer is present?

[@acmv71192]

*RAGNAROK

[@thegodphreaker]

lol

[@jonaspazusis5428]

if it wasnt for misha, this how periphery would sound like its too much

[@thegodphreaker]

mak tattle

[@monkeytiger2142]

thats not that that means lmao

[@thegodphreaker]

but a massive DICK!
