      I absolutely understand this is a joke so with that said, it's actually incredible that he is as good as he is with downstrokes considering how good his hybrid and alternate picking is as well. You'd think he could only get that good at down picking by never practicing alternate picking or hybrid picking but he clearly does practice them and they are just as tight as his down picking. It's insane.

    • @potatosaladvm9329
      @potatosaladvm9329 7 років тому +7

      Browne got his tuning from Acle Kahney back in the day when they played in Fellsilent together. It's known as Celtic tuning or DADGAD, though it's tuned down to Bb F Bb Eb F Bb Eb for most of their 7-string stuff

    • @Preussenpenner

      I did not practice with math however :P Just with Time, experienced Musicians and a good Metronome. Natural talent always has a part in how one developes his style, John Browne has a great sense for Rythm and Melody, that is not something you can learn. It is a piece of you and your playing, how you connect with your instrument.

      @3rdfriend 9 років тому +1

      Sure, concretely you can lower some of the (chorus) voices and eq the guitar different. It's not a problem which other modern bands have to cope with. The special kind of mix has its benefits, but I strongly prefer a good sound on the instruments AND the voice. It's possible to balance both... whatever, I always listen monuments with an EQ :D

  • @LifeofEbb
    @LifeofEbb 10 років тому +7

    I really wonder what the tuning is. It's really rare for them to playing in the key of G minor, but from the looks of it, more than likely Bb F Bb Eb F Bb Eb

    • @LifeofEbb
      @LifeofEbb 10 років тому

      Browne told me that they just play in different keys of DADGAD so it's hard to tell when the key of the song is different from the tuning.

    I know people will whinge about this... but this is one of the songs that sound 100% better with vocals, also Atlas... But I will admit, I liked the original I, The Creator without vocals.

      I come from 2020, downpick is still going strong. It seems to have created a cultist group called riffhard.

    Technically great, crap down picking tone though. He's way over-muting the E string. Sounds more choked than chunked. Great string jumping though.

    Did anyone know what the tuning is for this? Apparently it's A# F A# D# F A# D#
    Super weird, I'd really like to know where they got the inspiration for that.

      +Richie Anthony This tuning remains throughout his whole career; back in the day when he was playing in band with Acle from Tesseract, they started to use this kind of tuning, I think John just liked it.
      Why they use it? It's like Drop A, but top three strings just doubles next three... I think that Acle liked to use it because the tuning remains constant on all the strings - he uses bottom strings to build heavy riffs and then he doesn't have to think about changing the position of his hand (and change his mind!) to play ambientsque parts (he love to!) on higher strings.

      +swtwsk It's actually DADGAD with an extra high string (if you drop DADGAD two whole steps you get A#FA#D#FA#D#).
