  • Here are my top 5 Djent guitar riffs for 7 string guitars! In my opinion, these are 5 of the most iconic djent riffs that have ever been written using 7 string guitars. I'm sure that a lot of your favorites are not on here, so I would love to hear more suggestions for riffs that I missed, perhaps I'll do another djent riff compilation with your suggestions?

      I do that for strumming. Lead i hold it the "normal" way.

    Let's face it, this could have easily been a list of Periphery riffs. The Walk, Letter Experiment, Icarus Lives, Ow My Feelings, Make Total Destroy, MK Ultra, and Rainbow Gravity all have amazing seven string riffs.

    Djent Trope No.15:
    1) Play breakdown riff clean or with a crunch tone w/ no bass
    2) Short stop
    3) DJONT.

    • @Michael-fk3ik
      @Michael-fk3ik 4 роки тому +2

      My fav trope still

    • @djentbinary5695

      I would take this as an advice to get a great djent tone

    • @eXX0n

      And I wouldn't have it any other way

    • @rehobalint1100
      @rehobalint1100 3 роки тому

      also make sure that the clean riff is exactly one octave higher than the DJONT version

  • @Yeshuahasrisen

    • @BaenaCarcosa

      Good call, although I would personally say Regenerate would have Monuments most "iconic" riff

    • @Ordacleaphobia
      @Ordacleaphobia 7 років тому +14

      To think neither of you guys would go with that first riff off Degenerate...

    • @BaenaCarcosa
      @BaenaCarcosa  7 років тому +4

      Not sure yet! I am really liking the new album but have yet to pick my "favorites." At this point in time I feel that I still like Intuition the most haha, but maybe just because I am the most familiar with it.

  • @sonofhorror1995
    @sonofhorror1995 7 років тому +32

    was wondering if periphery was going to make it, and I couldn't have picked a better riff.

    • @BaenaCarcosa
      @BaenaCarcosa  7 років тому +17

      +sonofhorror1995 haha of course! I personally like a lot of other periphery riffs way more, but I don't think anyone can argue that Icarus Lives isn't one of the most iconic ones

    Part of me wants to say The Bad Thing by Periphery, but that is technically a six string. Even the strings 1-5 are tuned a whole step down and then the 6th string is tuned to A.

    I don't like like the term djent, but pretty surprised there was no Meshuggah at all. Chaosphere is riddled with amazing riffs that people base their ideas off of all the time. And that album is all seven string.

  • @LexiPixeL_
    @LexiPixeL_ 7 років тому +4

    I'm not too familiar with ATB or AAL (apart from CAFO and Wave of Babies), but the other three riffs would definitely make my top 5 too. Great video!
    Minor nitpick lol, the tempo on Dispossession seemed a _little_ fast. :)

      Alexandra Pierce Oh man, they're all great, personally I don't think they have a single bad song, but I'd say start with wolves within, that's my favorite album by them, I like all their albums though

    • @rskat501

      Murry Deaves yes, djent can apply to any music regardless. It's a technique, not a genre.

    • @murrydeaves
      @murrydeaves 7 років тому

      rskat501 fair enough, just that I've spoken to tosin abasi and he didn't like the term djent, but may of just been as a genre :p

    • @rskat501
      @rskat501 7 років тому

      Murry Deaves Yeah, most musicians don't like the term djent, probably because they when people talk to then about djent they think that's what they're labeling them as, and some people do label bands strictly as djent, which isn't true, a band can't be "djenty" but not "djent" if you know what I mean
