I never realized how many riffs I love in C standard!

Can't believe you chose As I Am as a heavy C standard track when it has to go up against A Nightmare to Remember. Literally the heaviest C standard intro riff I've come across; and I play the damned tuning, lol.

TBDM, Nails, Shadow of Intent, Suffocation AND Gorgits...good shit, my man.

Did not know SHADOW OF INTENT even played in C Standard😲😲😲 awesome stuff bro!

Bro thank you for putting some Shadow Of Intent up in this. They are criminally underrated 🤘🏻

The goddess figure is my favourite one and i didnt know even the band! However, wich set of strings are you using for the C standard tuning? How does it feel compared to the classic 9-42/10-46?

Love the Shadow of Intent inclusion

I Will return chorus riff is awesome. Just one of the greatest metal riffs

Please tell me what kind of guitar model and what caliber of strings do you use?

THANK YOU FOR ADDING DETHKLOK

Noooo! Trigger’s breakdown! I was gonna mosh

Always makes me happy when Cradle pop up in a video

Im glad you had autopsy and gorguts on here but if you do a part 2 of c standard you should include defeated sanity

Hello! Please advise what strings you use for C standart?

Aww yeah Boyyyy Heavy Riffs to cure my depression :D

Glad to see NAILS on here. That band kicks some absolute ass.

Good 'ol Darkest Hour. Love their riffs.

Nails, Darkest Hour, Immolation and TBDM make this video 100% valid I would've loved to see Eyehategod or Burnt By The Sun tho

This honestly could've just been all of Nocturnal

Nice, what kind of string gauge do you use? regards

Half of the heaviness of wide open wound is the guitar tone but god damn that would definitely be my pick of heaviest c standard song. That riff is CRUSHING on the album

It’s nice to see OG Avatar being appreciated. Their old stuff is very slept on imo

Dude, that is the heaviest Nails song. I wish their whole albums were like that. They definitely thrive in that tempo range over the faster, blasty stuff imo. Also, I thought they used drop C. It actually makes me respect them more knowing they are in C standard.

Nik, How do you find that a song is played in which tuning mode?

dude no way you included some old Arch Enemy they are dope!
