#Guitar #Riffs #Tabs
In love with the Blew riff
I still credit System of a Down and Daron Malakian for inspiring me to write my own riffs in Drop C and Drop C#, the man is a freaking riff machine. And also speaking of riff machine, RIP Alexi, still gone from us way too early
I'm guessing you never heard of black sabbath
@@tylerdurden6901 Obviously I have and I know Tony does a lot of playing C#, I’m just saying Daron was the first guitarist I heard use those tunings
SOAD and Alexi are worlds apart haha
R.I.P Alexi. God bless. 🙏✝️
I haven't heard that Three Days Grace one since I was in high school back in 2006 when it came out. I was instantly transported back in time.
Yeah man, a classic 2000’s hard rock song, still one of my personal favourites
Thanks for including some Children of Bodom, RIP Alexi
Proof positive that the one word that best describes my formative teen years is CGCFAD
Based
This guy, keeping me on the toilet, avoiding my family, re living my youth...nice one mate 👌
Sitting on the toilet while reading this 😂😂😂
Great work! This collection was basically my middle school practice routine, 2000s was a great time to learn guitar as a teen into metal!
My favorite bands that use drop C has got to be Born of Osiris and Gojira! Such an awesome tuning.
My favorites in drop c
Frantic - Metallica (don't @ me I unironically love this album)
L' enfaunt savage - gojira
Deutschland - rammstein
Radio - rammstein
Animal I have become - three days grace
The chant - gojira
Bodies - drowning pool
Something in the way - nirvana
I also love St.Anger, respect Brother 🤘
Isnt deutschland in drop d
For me rammsteins best c drop is mann gegen mann
@@dekideron5199 nah bro is drop c, made me second guess myself though
Frantic is such an awesome song
yessss disturbed, skillet and three days grace!!! love this
Man, that Monster riff just sounds so awesome.
Very happy to see Bodom on here. RIP Alexi
I’m so glad you put in blew. I love that song
One of my all time favorite tunings!!
The best video of Drop C Songs 👀❤️ nailed it man
This video gave me a ton of new stuff to work on! I started in Drop C because of Breaking Benjamin - So Cold
I was really hoping to see at least one Breaking Benjamin song in this video.
Isn't a lot of Breaking Benjamin songs in drop A or something like that, it's a weird turning most people would never have a guess they played
I think a good majority of their material after We Are Not Alone is in a very low tuning. We Are Not Alone was pretty much all drop C, I believe.
Most is in drop A#. Well, they call it Bb cuz it stands for Breaking Benjamin lol.
Diary of Jane album started doing drop A#. So Cold album started doing drop C. The first album was drop C#.
Lol you learn a lot when you play guitar
@@simpledesign37 BB mostly play in drop Bb (heh) but they have a few drop c songs
Great list! Thanks for posting. 🤘
Love this video bro! I had to subscribe after watching this. I play all of those songs too lol. Keep making great videos 🤘
What a great playlist to end with beautiful My Curse.
Honestly there's so many iconic Drop C songs, it's difficult to just choose 10 of them
Kinda surprised to see "Davidian" by Machine Head didn't make this list, one of the most powerful, hard-hitting drop-C tuned songs and most iconic opening tracks in 90's metal.
davidian is drop b
@@dedandflooded technically it's 40 cents between drop c and drop b so people argue over it
Not drop C you muppet
@@Faeron1984 I've played it in drop C forever and many others have, and it sounded pretty dead on.
Really Nice riffs!
Great tone on that SG!
Nice selection!
Thank god somebody included a Three Days Grace riff, they wrote some rather awesome Drop C stuff.
Same with BFMV. Suffocating is the best song on that album, along with The Poison
3DG and BFMV being two def underrated groups ngl
For me it's gotta be the main riff from Meddler by August burns red. Fucking incredible feeling when you nail that song.
TBH what swicthed me to Drop C tuning was Bullet for my Valentine when I was about 18. I had not long started experimenting with Drop D then Bullet just hit me like a truck. Crushing rhythms, sweeping solo's and it just went together so well. I didn't discover Bodom until I was well into my 20's in sort of 2008-2010 so I am quite a late comer to the Smashing metal core party, and yes Bodom mainly played in Drop C
Extra riff: i don't wanna stop by ozzy osbourne
Started with oblivion , love it
Great video!
Nostalgia overload!
thanks for the vid
Dude, how you gonna include My Curse then cut the video short right before that epic, beefy, open C riff. That riff is so much fun to play and shows off everything heavy and awesome about drop C
some great ones in here
So good!!
wish i had a sg. such a pretty guitar
Que buenos riffs 🤙🏽⚡
I'm impressed by how clean your alternate picking is at 2:23. I always played it with downstrokes
Now make a video on 10 iconic clean riffs in this drop 🙌🏽
It’s strange the intro riff to My Curse is featured but not the bone crushing verse riff. One my my personal favorites. Love the whole song though.
W for putting Monster by Skillet
Freya by The Sword is also a very iconic one, would of fit right there next to Oblivion.
Stricken is one of the coolest riffs ever.
awesome
very very cool
I had favourite tons of drop c song and my favourite drop c song is redefined by as i lay dying.
Wow! I didn't expect for Nirvana!
I could never make these videos I’d be so biased. My top 3 would be angels don’t kill, are you dead yet, and living dead beat lmao
Holy Diver is another one.
The first song I learned on guitar was So Cold By Breaking Benjamin I played that every day til it became easy for me
Great!!!
Some of my favorites drop c are Song for the dead by QOTSA and The Everlasting Gaze by Smashing Pumpkins
I think that'sC standard
@@HELLCHILDFAN101 it is indeed c standard
Songs for the deaf .. respect
Wow, did not expect Skillet, nice!
Love your list. Would also like to add "Bad Horsie" By Steve Vai.
Oh yeah, that’s probably my favourite Vai song
bro just casually has my dream guitar 😭🙏
Blew is such a good fucking riff
Hu yea man thanks
I had no idea all of these songs were so easy 😳
Recommended, also in Drop C:
Prong: Cleansing and Rude awakening. The most ridiculous riffs from the 90s.
Byzantine: To release is to resolve. Prog and heavy.
Dissection: Reinkaos, the finest, most catchy, beautiful Black N Roll ever made.
Why gauge of strings are you using? Does the SG hold the tuning well, being a 24.75 scale?
I got 12 - 52 strings on there and I don't have any tuning issues with the SG. Holds tuning for a long time.
@@KevinBalke but Gibson apparently don't do tuning stability :kappa
@@flucazade lube the nut with graphite and wound the strings upwards - any Gibson will hold tune perfectly. I can spend an evening practicing songs with lots of bends on G string and it'll never get out of tune
Such tone. I have a Bogner Shiva and it’s not meant for this but i think with my klon klone and tubescreamer pushing the dirty channel… maybe. Just maybe. This sounds incredible. If you could replicate Billy’s guitar tone on “Judith” I could die.
11/10
I think drop c sounds better than 7 strings
There are no Epica or Nightwish songs played in drop c or drop c# ?
Waited the whole video to make sure my curse was there. Was not disappointed
Hi, what is that thing you cover the guitar nut with?
poderia colocar alguns de hardcore NY...
Lucky me they all seem like riffs I can learn at my level
Nostalgia Songs 1:37 3:16 😢
Are you trying to tell me my whole childhood was in drop C
Isolation by alter bridge is a pretty underrated drop c riff. It kinda slams as well
Alter Bridge is hugely underrated in all aspects. Incredible band! Cheers man!
Holy shit I nevee knew Nirvana dropped down to Drop C 🤯
Heart shaped box is drop c
All Apologies is also in Drop C#. I didn't realize it either before transcribing it myself. ua-cam.com/video/Y3ohy3yd5ko/v-deo.html
@@maxlm07 *c sharp
Nirvana loved to tune everything down a half step, so some songs "accidentally" ended up in drop C# but are considered drop D. I'm pretty sure with Blew, the band didn't realize they were tuned down an entire step before recording, so the song ended up in true drop C. Precise tuning wasn't really important to them, obviously.
In dying days - as blood runs black
Hey, its Dethklok's Greatest Hits!
what does the little band at the top of the guitar do
Now do D Standard aka my favorite tuning
Sad But True, Walk, Killing In the Name
@@thedancingguy828 walk e and kitno is drop d
@@DaveThomson nope
@@thedancingguy828Most people play Walk in D standard, but its still off as Dime didn't use normal hertz which is why it doesn't sound right in D at all.
Instead of A=440 it was like "tuned down 60 cents, or 425 H"
For KITNO I am correct, I watch like 5 videos of Tom playing all in Drop D.
@@thedancingguy828 Yeah no killing in the name is drop D my man
hell yeah killswitch engage
Respect from Russia!!!
C'mon let's be honest during the disturbed sticken riff who went "Ah Ah Ah Ohhhh!
He literally played every Oblivion riff except the actually iconic one
1.Mastodon-Oblivion (2009)
2.Disturbed-Stricken (2005)
3.System of a Down-Chop Suey!(2001)
4.Three Days Grace-Animal i Have Become
5. Children of Bodom-Are you Dead yet
6. Bullet for My Valentine-Suffocating Under Words Of Sorrow
7.Nirvana-Blew
8.Skillet-Monster
9.Deftones-Change
10.Killswitch Engage-My Curse
🎸👍
0:50
Dalai lama by Rammstein is SO damn heavy and good.
Feel Invincible by skillet is really good
Thank god you got killswitch in there at the end.
Anything with Nirvana in it deserves a thumbs up
Iconic drop A# riffs please
everyone goes on about kse my curse... but no one acknowledges its a lostprophets song called for sure
I'm pretty sure the most iconic Drop C riff is SoaD's Aerials.
That song was the first Drop C riff I ever learned and I still credit Daron for inspiring me to write my own riffs in Drop C
Love that song
I didn’t know Blew was in drop C
metallica st. anger?
what about neon by John Mayer lol
It's questionable why someone would choose Are You Dead Yet when COB also has Sixpounder's main theme, or the verse riff of Banned From Heaven. But that's just an opinion.
In Your Face gets my vote, but pretty good choices
@@toddwilliams8128 I chose them mainly because they are the ones I feel use drop tuning at its maximum effectiveness.
for when your favorite riffs?
How about a drop B version?
where is neon by John mayer
I'm looking for ideas for cover
I honestly had no idea Blew was in Dropped C lol
Sanctuary by Elder is my favourite drop c song
SAAAAAAAAANNNNNCTUUAAAARRYYYYYYYYY
Where is So Cold by Breaking Benjamin? Great list other than that though.
I was hoping Bodom would be in this
