I'm such a 90s guy that no matter how hard I try to write modern metal sruff, my music ALWAYS ends up sounding like nu metal (Korn, Sepultura, Soulfly, ill niño, etc). I've been really trying to not sound like that because nu metal isn't really selling anymore, but after watching this video I think I might as well embrace it. That's what naturally comes out.

My favourite Nu-Metal style riffs are from Disturbed (on The Sickness) and Soulfly, even though I don’t really listen to much of those 2 bands i just love that groovy tone. Disturbed are very bounce heavy on their riffs on their first two records, I’m not really a Disturbed fan apart from their first record The Sickness being one of my favourite albums. But the bounce riffing just makes you want to move, even though I’m not a huge fan of Draiman’s vocals past The Sickness. As for Soulfly I’m not really a fan but I just love that groovy and tribal esq riffing that just makes you want to groove the fuck out and go wild, even though I’m not a fan of Max’s vocals. Take Disturbed’s bounce riffing, or Soulfly’s groovy tribal riffing on a better rhythmic vocalist and I would be in heaven.

Hi Heavy. I am a South African too, but living in the UK. My friends in the UK always pick on me for the way I say "here". I never really noticed it with myself, but when I listen to you speak, it is really noticeable. Hahaha. Anyway, this is a really cool video and great sound that you get.

@GaryHiebner

3 жыл бұрын

Above 85 and you gonna have to file the nut. So yeah going to B0 you gonna have to mod it, sorry. For a 95 bass string you just need to unwind it a bit by the ball end to get it through the bridge. But that’s pretty easy to do. Takes like 3-5minutes to unwind.

My favourite Nu metal style is KoRn, Talkah and Linkin park’s Hybrid theory

Theres something very weird and present going on the in the low mids around 150-400hz, some kind of muddiness in the mixing - maybe try out soothe or gullfoss - those plugins would really showcase what I mean, might be your room situation or monitoring setup aswell!

That lower heavy tunning actually comes from a 7th string, which is an extra lower string added to the guitar😈

I'm using a baritone, which can in fact be tuned lower than your 7 strings with a 25,5 inch scale. Both these baritones I used are 28 inches and can be tuned down to F1 where a standard scale 7 string can probably only go down to Ab. So yeah check into batitones and how they can be used for lower tunings. Its not only about having an extra string :)
