    Here's a rhythm guitar lesson on How to play Davidian by Machine Head. Back in the '90s this song rocked (and it still does). Dropped B tuning, brutal riffs and one of the best breaks in the history of metal.
    The lesson on the Solo is coming up real soon!
    Check out the cover as well - • Machine Head - Davidia...

    You tuned a tremolo equipped guitar to this weird tuning just for this lesson? That's commitment man. Thanks for all that you do!

      As a guitar player with only 1 guitar and that guitar is equipped with a Floyd Rose bridge I definitely feel this comment lol. It actually becomes easier to alternate between tunings when you have done so several times (especially on the same guitar), you get a better feel for it and it becomes easier and easier each time. Depending on how different the tunings are obviously, for instance if you’re switching between standard tuning, 1/2 step down (Eb) or D tuning and D standard then the adjustments you need to make on the springs and the machine heads isn’t that much of a leap. When you go farther down to C and B tunings is when it becomes a real pain to make all the adjustments each time you go back and forth. Sorry for the long comment but it’s actually been a big point of focus for me lately having just gotten back into guitar and stupidly picked a Floyd Rose equipped guitar as the main guitar I was able to finally afford again. I was bummed at first but now I’m kind of glad because it’s just another skill I am getting better at. Plus once you stretch the shit out of the strings several times then lock the nut it stays in tune much longer than a non Floyd Rose equipped guitar.

    here..let me make the tuning issue easier. It is dropped c tuning. However...the reference is not 440hz....it's 432hz.

  • @VictorUtanQ
    @VictorUtanQ 8 років тому +31

    If anyone have a hard time finding that sweet spot for the 40 cent sharp tuning: If your tuner has a Hertz setting where you can adjust the Hertz, instead pf putting it in 440Hz like you normally would, you put it to 480Hz. Hence the "40 cent sharp".

    • @MrTR909
      @MrTR909 7 років тому +1

      Basically the concert or chamber pitch has to be adjusted. It used to be in standard A 440Hz. Keep in my mind if u would like to play this with a band all instruments must change the concert pitch.

Saw them live in 2019 in Munich.. I have a great video from this song on my channel (got blocked in Germany 🇩🇪) .. so I didn‘t over exaggerated when I said this was one of my favorite MH songs .. god bless Metal

      Yeah, that's not right though. A lot of tabs are in E standard too, but I think it's just because the tabber figures as long as the guitar is in tune with itself it's ok. Hell I just learned this one tuned to drop C#.

    Hi, just wanted to share this. Its just a standard drop C tuning, but they set there tuners to 432Hz instead of 440. Google it on why you SHOULD do that ! It resonates better with everything in this univers ;)
    Put your tuner on 432Hz, then tune to drop C and you'll see that its exactly the same as there tuning ;)
    good luck, have fun
