SlipKnot - Solway Firth (Guitar Cover by FearOfTheDark)

Cover #58: New amazing SlipKnot song requires new (hopefully amazing as well) guitar cover from me. I used my wide-angle lens this time which was a little quality-upgrade for the video. I also did a new outro-clip and hope you like it ;)

[@Kmahrle83]

Hey fearofthedark, just recently started playing again after a few years hiatus. I still have the chops to play songs like this but I'm not a very technical guitar player. How in the hell can I easily tune to drop b? I have the Ernie ball not so Slinky heavy ass strings so such a low tuning is no problem after adjusting the neck.

[@FearOfTheDark]

Sorry, I don't know what you mean. I always just tune down without getting the neck adjusted. I know it's pretty stupid but I'm pretty lazy... :D

[@Kmahrle83]

@@FearOfTheDark I figured it out. Thanks anyways though. There's a phone app called fender tune that helped me out with this. Now I'm shredding this song like a champ. Do you think if I uploaded a video of me playing it, you could give a few pointers?

[@xYw0]

Awesome cover! What strings do you use for these low tunings like Amon Amarth and Slipknot?
