I love that you go into enough theory to have an understanding of whats going on and why, but not so much that you turn playing into homework. subscribed!

Such a nasty, grungy tone, but still versatile.

Damn dude that kiesels matte black burst looking finish is insaane🔥🔥

The 3rd riff was absolutely sick tho. Just proved to me that harmonic minor is one of the best scales for metal

Really appreciate the content on AoC. As a Tool fanatic and a confirmed Drop D addict this channel is a personal fav

I'm a bass player but this was still super helpful. As well your tone is ferocious! Keep killing it.

Great informative video it’s helped me out and definitely a fun tuning to keep making up riffs !

Thank you for the guitar knowledge my brother

Awesome video, great ideas!

Yay! I understood one! Also, ‘Outshined’.

That guitar is perfect

2nd riff is my favorite, so soundgarden like

Ok I’m gonna follow you for when I get an electric

Time to get my Shinedown on

You're forgetting the most used one.. the pedal style riff. 000D and then riff on the A string. Like Unholy confessions.

Me: tunes to drop d. *Neil Young has entered the chat*

Surprised he doesn’t have more subs. You actually learn something.

first song sounds *EXTREMELY* Lamb of God, but the last two were both like, 100% Tool

I noticed a bit of Jerry Cantrell style there, would you touch on that in one of your up and coming clips?

Great lessons I just found your channel. What pedal or amp do you get that sound. It’s awesome

Melvins are the drop D goat

1:20 i love Roots Bloody Roots!

I'm gonna add these to my own riffs

Would you PLEASE do a vudeo on this tone?!

Riff 1 - Lamb of God/RATM/Slipknot Riff 2 - Disturbed/Godsmack/Soundgarden Riff 3 - Slayer/Tool/Muse

great!!! How do you come up with interesting rhythms? My best ones are usually purely inspirational... do you have any tools to come up with cool ones? Thanks

Excellente. Does this works with bass too?

If something works, no matter how simple and clichè, its Good.

Love your work as always man... I do have a random question though, what kind of strings do you use? I'm just curious because I've used Heavy Bottom slinkys for a long time and I think that is more of my "Adam Jones Fanboy" thinking and I want to experiment with different gauge strings/brands and whatnot

@axeofcreation

I'm a slinky man myself as well. I tend to usually use 10s, if I know I'll be playing in strictly Drop D, I'll go a little thicker on the low string.
