Monica Gheorghevici24th November 2017Great lesson Darek!!
Rammikin28th November 2017Another great one! I always get them confused with Blackberry Smoke
. fyi, I think this tuning is "standard" c#, not dropped c#.
Darius Wave28th November 2017Thank You both
Well many of these southern rock bands may get confused because of similar basis I guess As for the tuning it has always been confusing as well. I've seen so many people naming both ways that I'm no longer sure is there any proper way.
Kristofer Dahl1st December 2017Very heavy and cool indeed! @Darius this would be C# standard. C# drop means the lowest two strings are no longer a fourth apart. Btw I think your fretboard needs an oily shower!

Welcome to the Black Stone Cherry style lesson !
Black Stone Cherry is one of my favorite, modern bands. It's a solid piece of southern rock energy. No shreding, no fancy stuff - just a pure power itself. I believe it's an example of riffin every player should go through at some point. Easy to focus on articulation and timing. Great workout for right hand tone control (tone from the hand)
Improvisation side note:
If your guitar is tuned to standard E, you should refer to a C#-minor scale.
