    Yesterday I jammed for the first time with two stoners. Usually I'm more into punkrock and I don't really know much about the "groove". Now I gotta prepare myself for our next session. Your content is very helpful. To me it's pretty hard to slow myself down.

      As a drummer, the problem gets worse. However, you'll learn quickly a better internal feel for rhythm/groove. Taking that forwards into punk rock, there's some nifty things you can do. Sum 41 is the first band to come to mind.
      (Speeding back up after doing these tempos for a few years is proving difficult.)

    @stickierbuds I'm not using any effects here. I'm using the rhythm pickup on the SG with the tone control all the way back, giving it that fuzzy sort of sound.

      +Jeroen Verbeeck Actually the original creator of Shaggy and the voice actor both never thought of him as a stoner. They hated that people acknowledged him as one.
      Then in the 2000's we have a movie where he meets a chick on a plane and her name is Mary Jane, and he's like "Man I love that name".

    @santanaincubus 12 років тому

    Ive been playing stoner rock but my tone sounds more Sabbath like. But to make it even sound more dynamic and heavier I guess I have to change the tone a bit to sound a bit like the tone in this video. Its all about tonage. Awesome vid.

  • @DeadBoySabbath
    @DeadBoySabbath 12 років тому

    Well that's kind of my point. And actually I take back what I said about your point being null and void, you're right. Really the same reason you use a Peavey Bandit is why I use a combo amp myself, larger amps sometimes don't make sense.

  • @prolixian
    @prolixian 12 років тому

    Do you think you could make more songwriting material, maybe for other genres? I find your content the most useful of all the riff lessons on YT. I'd love to see heavy/thrash metal, something that goes hard but that still sounds musical. Maybe some Metallica or Dio sounding stuff. Much love brother.

  • @devilbeastie
    @devilbeastie 11 років тому +1

    start off with a regular 4/4 (or 6/8 - depending on your track) rhythm and develop from that...it's just trial and error. try to fill in the patterns at different positions and try combining them. after some time you will discover which pattern works with which lick/riff.
    creating a good drumbeat is as hard as creating a good guitar riff...and it's a matter of taste as well. so there's no explicit formula.
    just: if you like it, it's allowed to do. ;-)

  • @jacktowers7533
    @jacktowers7533 8 років тому +3

    Would you recommend keeping strings the same gauge to create a slurred sound when down tuning or beef up a bit to keep tension

    • @jacktowers7533
      @jacktowers7533 7 років тому +2

      even when i wrote this comment i was using a custom set of .10, .14, 20, .36, .48, .66

    • @khanmaykr8021

      answer this comment I wanna know as well

    • @swissarmyknight4306
      @swissarmyknight4306 6 років тому +1

      The answer is "yes". Some players play with a relatively tight fretboard and therefore heavier gauge strings (my preference). Some players (like no less than Tony Iommi) like a loose fretboard because they like the spongier sound and the ease of bending. I would suggest trying whatever string set strikes your fancy.
      If I hadn't, I would never have known that I like a pretty tight fretboard in the three bass strings; those heavy strings drive the pickup harder and I can play both more softly with clarity and more forcefully without rattle than I could with thinner strings.
      You can calculate your string tension so you can keep the same tension at lower tunings here. stringtensionpro.com/Home

  • @fliesandpigs
    @fliesandpigs 7 років тому

    Great lesson it helped me alot, just few questions: what strings would you recommend for stoner? Also if i want to tune down my guitar to C i have to bring it to a luthier to set my guitar to avoid the neck to bend? Sorry for my english

    • @CoreyHunter
      @CoreyHunter  7 років тому +1

      Yes, it's a good idea to get a qualified luthier to adjust the neck when changing gauge. I'd recommend .11-54s for lower tunings. They come in a variety of custom gauges.

  • @wyldefan716
    @wyldefan716 12 років тому

  • @ber210513

    @DavidL1432 .10 - .46 gauge strings and the tuning that I am in are probably not the ideal combination.
