In a French interview (my native language), Joe said that the left hand was just for "visual effect" like a magician who attracts the attention as everything was happening with the right hand. So, for the "sliding left hand", it seems it is just for the show or maybe he was feeling like doing it this way. If I found back the vido, I could link it to you. (You have a really really cool guitar. The sound is great)
@@ShadowMantraSteve ua-cam.com/video/6LuEH9OCnFg/v-deo.html At 11:09, he starts to speak about this. And 11:19, he speaks about visual effects" (the sliding left hand but "everything is with right hand") I can try to translate it in English some parts if you need it. ^^
Well for what it is worth Joe sure fooled me as I was just watching Explosia live at Hellfest and grabbed my guitar to try and figure out what he was doing with his left hand to make that sound. Of course, nothing I could do would replicate it so here I am again - thanks, SMS!
Thank you! I only really found out about using the thumb to catch higher harmonics by just digging in hard with the pick to get a stronger attack and it was bit of a happy accident. I think it definitely helps to get some of those higher pitches in that cut through more.
I'm looking how the deathcore bands makes this sound, and I'm glad to find in your channel (cause a lot of my covers I use you and your tabs as reference). Btw, thanks for the lesson!
Been searching for this technique's name to put in some of my tab notes but I had no idea what it was called. Everyone on youtube seems to call waterfall/ palm harmonics rake harmonics which was unhelpful. I guess it doesn't have an official technique name. Awesome video, thanks heaps mate!!
The Ultimate Gojira Guy I didn't know about that thumb thingy... I've always wondered how they manage to get different pick scrape sounds. Now I finally know! Mercy
I actually found out about it accidentally. I am not an experienced player so whenever I tried raking my thumb would get in the way and I thought to myself, hey that sounds more like how they do it. Ever since Ive been doing that.
Awesome tutorial! Would you ever consider doing a tutorial for the way Gojira executes pinch harmonics like in their song Magma? Seems to be one of the more difficult techniques.
I did a lesson earlier this year on harmonics, hopefully it helps! ua-cam.com/video/B1l2r8GAtYQ/v-deo.html For magma the key is changing the position of the picking hand to hit the different harmonics. I did a cover of it that should help you see what's going on a bit better ua-cam.com/video/hwbh7AKGqug/v-deo.html
Just subbed! I was trying to learn Flying Whales and was experimenting to get the correct harmonic sound. You explained it very thoroughly with great camera angles! Thanks.
I have an exercise video up that might help ua-cam.com/video/S-6Iq2wuf0A/v-deo.html Also some gallop riffs though some are a bit tricky ua-cam.com/video/7DTCSJu6zqg/v-deo.html
Wow, I feel kind of dumb now, I thought you just did left hand harmonics and raked the pick with the left hand, that's why my pick rakes always sound so bad.
It takes a while and some tweaking/experimentation to find it. The pickups should affect it too much, but having enough gain/distortion definitely helps!
Jumping in with some pronunciation advice: "Gojira" is an English approximation to how the Japanese properly pronounce "Godzilla". Phonetically it sounds like "Goh-Zji-La" with the 'Zji' being important as it's not quite a "Zee" sound or a "Gee" sound but a mix of both. It is not "goJIra" or "GOjira" as I have heard others say. Please adhere to the above pronunciation and respect both the band and the nation from where it took its name.

It’s a dean cadillac
Thanks Gojira, now all deathcore bands use these in every breakdown 😂
I like that’s the only thing people don’t like about Gojira and it’s not even their fault lol
Thanks morbid angel
No one does it like them lol
Great lesson! The thumb scrapping along is something that isn't super intuitive, but it makes all the difference.
Thank you! I only really found out about using the thumb to catch higher harmonics by just digging in hard with the pick to get a stronger attack and it was bit of a happy accident. I think it definitely helps to get some of those higher pitches in that cut through more.
the pitch is dictated by where the rake is performed not the thumb contact
This was the part I've been missing in my scrapes! This video broke it down perfectly.

Btw, thanks for the lesson!

No problem! Glad it was helpful. I don't think I've come across a standard name for it either really.

More than welcome 🤘🤘🤘
Dude no joke I’ve looked like a total idiot for several hours not realizing I needed thumb

Totally thought you were French until watching this.
I was wondering where he was from this whole time, I figured French or American
Thank you so much for this one, I was trying my best but just couldn't figure it out, then when you showed the thumb trick.. then it clicked!
Glad it helped! Once you've got the hang of it it's fun to throw in other songs.
Just getting back into playing guitar after taking 10 years off... Thanks for making this so simple to figure out!
Glad it helped and enjoy playing again!
Man your content just keeps getting better and better. Hoping to see more tutorials/lessons in the future 🤘🏻
Thanks, and yes I'll be doing some more tutorials going forward 🤘
Shadow Mantra Steve keep em coming we need more Steve!🤙🏻

I always tried but it never worked perfectly... Now I know why. Thanks dude! Your work is awesome
You're welcome, glad it helped!
Just subbed! I was trying to learn Flying Whales and was experimenting to get the correct harmonic sound. You explained it very thoroughly with great camera angles! Thanks.
Glad it was helpful. The scrapes are fun to do once you've got them down!
This is really helpful! I have been wanting to do this since listening to Fit For An Autopsy and Trivium 🤟
I can definitely say that this technique is a lot easier with the 12mm thick pick I use
BALISTIK928 / yøu mean a 1.2 right
@@naveenwilson-moola5570 I meant what I said. I really only use 6mm at the least but prefer using my 12mm when I know where it is
Who Are You? With a pick that’s at least 3mm thick you really don’t even have to turn the pick at all to get a loud and clear pick scrape
@Stephen j it's contoured to a point at the tip. It's the thickest at 12mm in the middle where I hold it
I use a 2mm and a 3mm, 12 is really big...
But gojira don't do solos so makes sense, kinda
Faaaaaantastic. Nice work 🤘🎸♥️ I'd got this nailed but adding the thumb in the scrapes was the secret weapon.
Glad it helped!
thumb scrapping really works! AWESOME TECHNIQUE!
T H A N K S
🤘🤘
Thank you so much this is such a great help!! I'm self taught and usually so slow learning anything different like this. Much appreciated! 🤟🏼
Glad it helped!
That is one sick guitar
Thank you, it's a Dean Cadillac
Immolation has some cool pickscraping techniques i never noticed until i saw them live. too bad it was before camera phones were good that i saw them
I need to listen to them a bit more for sure
Right? And morbid Angel Nothing Is Not
Haha I watched your cover of “of blood and salt” and then looked up how to pick scrape and found you again! You sir are legit with the shit
Thanks man! The thumb was the missing piece I needed.
Ok I get that this video was 3 years ago, but DUDE, THE CADILLAC!!! Love that guitar
Still my favourite!
@@ShadowMantraSteve It’s on my wish list 💯
Thank you so much, now I understand and I can do it ...
Greetings From Colombia ...
You're welcome 🤘🤘🤘
Thats a beautiful guitar my dude. Great trick tip
Thank you so much I’ve really been struggling with this
Glad it helped!
Morbid Angel pick. "Nothing Is Not" from Formulas Fatal To The Flesh
Beautiful guitar bud. Thank for this tutorial
Thanks and glad it helped!
great job mate👍
Wow. Thank you! Would have never figured this out myself
Glad it helped!
Funny because you may be English but you really look French man. As a native I swear you got that look.
Love your videos, man, really nice content !
Easily the best video I've found looking for a breakdown of this technique 🤟🤟🤟 also you're fucking awesome dude
Glad it helped, thanks!
Thanks man! Great video like always!
Thank you 🤘
Amazing video! Will try!
Beautifully done 🙏🏻😈 This truly helps
Glad it was useful!
Love the hoodie
First time I saw that technique was on "Use my third arm", by Pantera
Amazing! Thank you 🤘🏻🤘🏻
its 2 am and im a drummer but god damn i wanted to know how them boys do it, so tasty, thank you
Thats a beatiful Dean lml
Thank you, definitely one of my favourite guitars!
SUBSCRIBED, thanks for the great lessons
Thank you and you're welcome 🤘
Now I can play Where Dragons Dwell 100 percent accurately😂
thanks
Yes!
Amazing lesson, could you do another lesson on galloping if you haven’t already
I have an exercise video up that might help
ua-cam.com/video/S-6Iq2wuf0A/v-deo.html
Also some gallop riffs though some are a bit tricky
ua-cam.com/video/7DTCSJu6zqg/v-deo.html
What about morbid Angel trey Azaghoth nothing is not harmonic raking thing??
Ty!
Informative 👌👌👌
Now I know how to lol thanks man
Glad it helped!
I notice the very last scrape in flying whales is a little higher sounding then the rest. How does one replicate that
isn't the left hand supposed to be on the 5th fret so you get more harmonics
You playing D standard with 11-46 ? u had to set up ur guitar to that ?
I had to tweak the intonation and truss rod a little bit but nothing major
How do u get ur amp to sound like that, i got the scrap down but it cant sound like the recording without the right setup
the pitch is dictated by where the rake is performed not the thumb contact
Wow, I feel kind of dumb now, I thought you just did left hand harmonics and raked the pick with the left hand, that's why my pick rakes always sound so bad.
Thanksss...
U have an almighty mike tyson voice
I can’t get it to work idk why
I still can't do that
Why I can't scrape?😭help
I think spiritbox uses that in every single song
definetely doesnt work on bass lol
Haha not really, maybe on a six? But Jean does get some very nice big bass slides
@@ShadowMantraSteve yeah I just slide instead. I don't know if it would work on a 6 I have a 5 and hell no I don't get that sound lol
Is it my pickups
It takes a while and some tweaking/experimentation to find it. The pickups should affect it too much, but having enough gain/distortion definitely helps!
🤘🇦🇷
🤘
I totally thought you were american 😂
Anyone came here for Gojira aka Godzilla?
Mmmm i love you
