Suicide Silence: "Bludgeoned to Death" Guitar Lesson

[@ghostwalker8249]

I can't imagine these guys in the studio "Ok so imma chug a few times, then you squeal " "Ok chug squeal, got it"

[@wizkid1206]

[@TiANr0ckst4r]

i like how different their tones are specially when they do it together sounds dope

[@JSTPband]

So crazy these guys single handedly got me into 7 string guitars

[@theforgottenangel666]

Same

[@fountane]

These guys are just having fun living their lives creating loud heavy music. Why so much hate?

[@nickglover8738]

Maybe cuz suicide silence is Deathcore and Deathcore gets a lot of shit

[@fountane]

***** both. I listen to Bieber too, what you gonna do.

[@fountane]

***** That means you do care. If you COULD care less, that means you have the capacity to care less. Which means you care a little bit. It's "I couldn't care less". I couldn't care less that you couldn't care less about what I listen to either.

[@markolivares6943]

Devin Taylor seriously dude 🤘🏼

[@DaBestSquigma]

Devin Taylor They’re guitarists, they’re supposed to do their job, as professionals, you’d expect them to be better teaching songs.

[@OxDARKxDESIRExO]

The way they explain the sounds is fucking hilarious.

[@Chill-mm4pn]

I talk to other guitarists the same way "dun dunna dun dun with that pinch harmonic at the end"😂

[@letyoudown5]

this might be simple, but the structure of the song is brilliant. it comes out at the right time where you want it. these guys are geniuses.

[@S-4711]

Hey, today I learned about the "fun chord", the diki diki dout wow-Transition and the dropped D George Lynchy chord. Thank You Mark & Chris! The way I figure, it's the simple way of explaining one's music which helps common people to grasp the theory, the concept and the intention behind! Greetings from a Fan

[@JUMBOpin]

definitely one of my favorite chords (which is why I use it in every song)

[@jesusespada6753]

I know it's been 9 years but which chord are you talking about?

[@Rob_Cary]

I'm not huge on SS but after watching a good bit of his podcast, I love that his voice hasn't changed in any way from there to here. He's one of those people that could never disguise his voice. We know it's him lol

[@bigal2162]

This song should be called "stoned to death"

[@akyrothea4919]

in this context I think it might as well be the same thing

[@hubertgagne3628]

''It's got that diminished kinda....'' Mark says this in every video ahahah

@@daimonicreality1590 lmao

[@johnathantrevino346]

Everyone hating on them having no talent but do you realize they're both playing steph carpenter sigs (who admits to not being a crazy good player) and they both each have more than a few of their own signatures. It's easy to chug yeah, but it's hard to really make somethin Rythmic, heavy and catchy like they do

[@Divine_Serpent_Geh]

I don't like to bash. period. But I think the reasoning behind so much people's hate is that all their material, all the riffs, and pretty much everything they do is extremely repetitive, it all sounds recycled, and I'm not pointing my finger just at Suicide Silence, just like every "Deathcore" band, or whatever people label them, they ALL chug on that same tritone chord in Drop A tuning. It's not so much to do with the simplicity of it. There are a lot of metal artists that play simple music, and sound alot more diversified than these guys. Even some bands of the same sector(genre). Anyway, that's my reasoning for understanding maybe why people bash this band so much.

[@yeahthisisntmyname]

I've never seen such outstanding musicianship

[@_wallyh_]

Essa sim, real dupla dinâmica do Metal da internet

[@BobbyVanStone]

I'm a drummer, and it really frustrates me when guitarists know nothing about rhythm, or at least some terms of it so we can effectively communicate. A good example is at 2:12 when he does the common galloping- kind of strumming (3 16th notes followed by a 16th not rest), but he calls it a triplet, and that makes a huge difference.

[@Cornbooii]

Well it's working for them, isn't it?

[@BobbyVanStone]

I don't know, depends on their goals as a band. Most people have never heard of nor want to listen to a band called Suicide Silence, much less after listening to them

[@YoLpIsBest]

Bobby Van Stone Suicide Silence is one of the most well known deathcore bands and they have over 3 million likes at Facebook so I guess they have done alright.

[@Cornbooii]

Bobby Van Stone It is true, even I think they should know their theory but The Beatles didn't and they got where they wanted to, didn't they?

[@sabianhhxevolution]

YoLpIsBest Just Beiber has millions of fans too, I guess that means he's doing alright too.

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

I love how chris makes his more distorted to mix and match dirtyness with clarity

[@jamesaaron788]

Here's everything they said in this video summed up in a few words: "I have no idea what I'm doing, but I think it sounds pretty brootle." They can't even explain the subdivision of the triplets for their 'intro'. I can't believe I used to like this band.

[@Hammersmashed68]

[@robrojas6351]

Those guitars are sick

[@williamcanavan7085]

because everyone who's not doing it are mad that they can't get a gig because they spent there lives in a bedroom playing with themselves and think there awesome because they know every scale but have no social skills or charisma and are so consumed with how great they are but can't keep real time with a real drummer and have no feel!! but these dudes don't know shit about all that they started in the garage with friends and did it because they love music and have feel.... no they are not technical but they have feel and can make a bunch of people happy and themselves happy fuck the shit talkers you don't see them on a stage!!! I'd rather jam with those with a love for the jam then those with God complex jam bands smile and have fun. even death-grind-sludge and stoner metal and as I said there the ones on the stage and you haters... keep on hating if there like me it only pushes you harder which makes you better!!!!!

[@jefftX]

William Canavan You hit the nail on the head. Technicality does not make good music. Feel and songwriting skills makes good music. You can write better music with 3 notes than some people who write music with 10 different scales and chords.

[@lawsont4396]

That tone is fucking gnarly

[@schroee]

They are just stoned as fuck

[@AlexBagodonutz125]

Yeah it does, it shows that you have an idea what you're doing, and it takes practice. Music isn't a sport, who cares if they aren't the best of the best, they still deserve some recognition.

[@dehumanizer21]

you realize that they're just nervous, sounds great. I'd like to see em live.

[@MetaLeir93]

Funny how everyone is too busy searching for a thousand different reasons to call this "shit" If you only put that much energy in search of suicide silence songs you might like to broaden your playlists, you'd be much better off But hey it's your life

[@MetaLeir93]

AND if you don't like any suicide silence songs then move on to the next band and there you go. It's that easy

[@Yakazas]

This is Metal, not classical music. Who gives a shit if they know proper terminology and/or theory, the riffs are aggressive, heavy and groovy as hell.

[@Ever4Dope]

joesatriani1200rulez youre embarrassing too, and terrible

[@pivetlord13]

joesatriani1200rulez listen to the black crown. Secificaly the song Slaves To Substance. Youll find your melody there.

[@utooberblooper]

see,when you know theory you can write songs/riffs that dont sound this FUCKING HORRID,its like some jackass that just learned to drop tune then played whatever he could muster up.that crap is in the top 3-4 shittiest riffs of eternity

[@Yakazas]

And that my friend is the magic of it. They are not trying to be progressive nor pretentious. They just want to write heavy music.

[@yaboi2500]

+joesatriani1200rulez Those bands aren't as aggressive. They're good, not aggressive. Personally, I enjoy bands like Morbid Angel and Insomnium, mostly for their intensity and lyrical themes.

[@BVCKBEND]

Them saying "triplets" is probably just to use an easier term for most guitarists. A lot of us are good at what we do and probably care less about 4 notes 16th notes 4 beats per half measure on the treble cleff shit

[@NecroArmour]

I still think the heaviest tone is the "buzzsaw" tone that old Swedish death metal bands like Entombed and Dismember used. And newer bands still borrow that tone today, such as Rotten Sound, Magrudergrind, and lots of other grindcore bands.

[@ZodiacMeatgrinder]

"...squeal, where ever you want a squeal" haha...

[@STAIND12300]

Linn Motionless I was specifically mentioning deathcore bands. I should have been more specific haha

[@T3STAM3NT11]

its not only about using the full 7 string range. some guys just prefer the feel and the different playability caused by the different neck

[@va6465]

These guys do use their high e in solos. But this, along with a lot of their old stuff, can be played on a Baritone 6.

As a frequent listener to this band, and a guitar player. I couldn't fathom why they would make them do a guitar lesson on any of their songs, especially one with out and sweeping at least.

[@ebritt91]

@ericgeving ok, so 6 string guitar is tuned to EADGBE right? 7 String adds a b above the low e on the neck so that you can get an octave, of the 2nd string b, a new lower string then E. What these guys did is took the new low b string, the thickest, or seventh string, and tuned it to A so that they could get a lower ballsier tone.

[@rayrichter7678]

Marks tone in this is brutal.

[@pastilance1]

@partyboy175 Garza is using ESP LTD SC-207, Mark uses the same, but in different color.

Of course you can! I do it! Ektomorf does it! Slipknot does it in some Songs! I use a Career Ektomorf Zoltan II White with a seymour duncan sh8 invader! Ernie Ball slinky Baritone strings 13-72! It works totally fine! Even Solos of them are possible. you just have to Play them in a different way, or may with an pitch shifter or whammy for some notes.

[@filmcoolstuff]

This shit still takes time to learn if you're a beginner. Easy is a relative term. This is easy for people who have practiced a lot or are naturally talented. They even acknowledged that it's easy in the video anyway. Just because they play simple stuff doesn't mean they can't play more complex stuff. There are variations of difficulty in all genres. There is complex deathcore that is hard to play and there is simple blues that is easier than this to play.

[@eckard9597]

Because they play it good and put on a good show at the same time.

[@patrick121295]

@Cleticxx That's probably the truth, lol. Don't really need a 7-string to play a lot of their songs though. Just find the same note on a different string to fill out the parts you can't play.
