Fayeed Tan7th December 2013Yeah man! Great tune!
tjh926th July 2015Tag says drop C# but it's actually c# standard...
Bogdan Radovic26th July 2015Tag says drop C# but it's actually c# standard...
Thanks TJ, we have updated the lesson tags section now.
The tuning info can be found in the text section under the main video.- Darius Wave26th July 2015
There's a huge worldwide missunderstanding around the "drop" tuning meaning. Going from E to C# is a dropped tuning already, but some people refer to a word "drop" only when 6th string is detuned one more whole step down comparing to other strings. I've seen a lot guys saying drop-C# in both cases - while the guitar is tuned to D# and 6th string to C# and also in second case - whole guitar tuned from C# to C#. To be honest it's hard to have one proper description for this

Hi there folks!
Welcome at metalcore riffin' lesson!
This lesson will help You to work especially on Your right hand. There are tons of fast, palm muted licks with only down strokes at 220 bpm. All is based on some very popular, metalcore concepts. Every note belongs to the C# minor scale but being honest... You will rather think of E-minor while only the guitar is tuned to C#. This is the reason for further scale and chords names reference to standard E tuning.
Learn how to organize strength of You right hand. Having too much tension might hinder your ability to handle the tempo.
Gear used:
* Bloody Mary custom made electric guitar with EMG 81, H, 89
