You are amazing! Thank you so much for this channel. I’ve been struggling to find YouTubers who cover this genre, and it’s so great to finally get one. Especially with someone as much enthusiasm and knowlege as you. Instant subscription. Keep doing what your doing
The moment that changed my life forever was the time I tried tuning to drop D without realizing I was already tuned to open G. I had in fact tuned the 6th string to C and only realized once I began playing. That tuning makes playing the music I want to play feel as natural water flowing downstream or current going to ground. (1stD) (2ndB) (3rdG) (4thD) (5thG) (6thC) The best tuning there is.
corgan and mascis were my main influences in playing lead, love mascis' medolies and corgans controlled chaos
Eb, Drop D, D Standard, and C# Standard are the go to tunings. I have my strat in Eb and tele in D Standard, both sound pretty amazing!
I always use E flat and drop d, on e flat put a capo on 1 and your in standard I think lol if you only have 1 guitar saves you from having to tune up or down all the time.😊😊❤❤great video 😊
About 4 months ago I saw your channel and this... just amazing. Your videos helped me in choosing pedals and pedalboards for shoegaze staff, all kinds of grunge stuff, etc. Even an inexpensive shoegaze board. just fucking cool. thank you for your work
In the past month this has become my fav channel, keep up the great work!!
My favourite ‘grunge-type modulation’ pedal is the Keeley Dyno-My-Roto. The price is right, and it has three modes: a tri-chorus that would give you lovely underwater, seasick vibes; a rotary speaker simulator, that will give you those “Black Hole Sun” tones; and finally, a very flexible flanger that can do very subtle all the way through windtunnel hell. I also use a TC Corona mini chorus, as I can load it with different TonePrints depending on my needs, which kind of makes it like 50 different chorus pedals.
Soundgarden uses a rotovibe live for black hole sun. You can use a chorus pedal, it really doesn't matter, but it's not like univibe and rotary pedals are still rare these days.
Motörhead and Kiss also played most of their stuff in Eb standard tuning. But then again, grunge took a lot of inspiration from 70’s rock and metal, so it’s not that much of a shock.
There's a common theory/urban myth that has several videos & forum posts about is that Eb tuning sounds particularly great on Strats.
Thanks for this. If you're looking to improve your lead stuff, get Steve Stine's masterclasses. He covers soloing, techniques by era, and music theory. Also, was the Small Stone responsible for the "swoosh" effect, on the Cherub Rock solo?
COME BACK PLEASE I LOVE UR VIDS COME BACK
Guns and Roses used the E flat standard a lot as well. Love the channel!
8:50 I thought that was STP interstate love song lol
Cool tips ! That lead at the end cuts like a knife indeed !
So I had to teach black hole sun to a bunch of kids over the years, and the way to get the correct tuning is basically doing drop D, but every note is tuned sharp, roughly about 3/4s of the way to the next note.
6: 44 this' so amazing, really cool!
Aw hell yeah my pedal man growing fr, I remember you having like 1k subs. Keep making the good content.
