Deftones - Diamond Eyes- Guitar Cover

in Musiclast year

How goes it? It better be going, you succulent fucks. I hope you guys all had a safe and happy holidays, I've been falling apart during my time and it's looking like a great start to the new year if my goal was to rot into a skeleton who collects shiny cardboard and play lots of 1's and 0's on a guitar. Speaking of guitar, I've got a new cover for you guys today. And, it's one that's probably a lot more digestible for those of you who aren't into super heavy music like I am, which I'm pretty sure is 99.5 percent of this entire platform. So, hopefully you like it. It was a really fun song to learn, even though it is tuned so far down my strings felt like wet noodles flopping around. I plan on having at least one other guitar video out this month, so I guess check back later for more, you digital sluts.

Until next time, doods!

Later!

That does sound a little low. I did try one tune that called for drop-C. That made for a very floppy string.

Happy new year!

I play in drop C all the time and that's probably my favorite tuning ever.

With this song, I was tuned down to F# B E A D F# B which I won't be doing again anytime soon, lol. Also, happy new years to you as well!

which I'm pretty sure is 99.5 percent of this entire platform.

I'm in the 0.05%! This song looks relatively easy compared to a lot of the other stuff you play

True, you are one of us. One of us. One of us.

Yeah, it's a pretty basic song (Honestly, I feel like a lot of Deftones stuff is pretty simple in song structure with their guitar), but it's very fun song to jam to. I think the hardest part of playing this song was the fact my guitar had to be so tuned down to the point my strings felt like god damn spaghetti.

I'm not really a fan of Deftones singer so I don't really follow what they do but I do love the low tone of the riffs. What note is it tuned down to? Many years ago I had an auto drop-d on my top string and that was kind of cool but these days some of the riffs are so low I wouldn't be surprised if they actually added another string to the top end.

Really? I feel like most people just obsess over Chino's vocals and the "vibes" the songs have anymore. I enjoy his vocals quite a bit, though he's definitely not my favorite.

I had my 7 string tuned down to F# B E A D G B. I believe for the past like 10ish years their guitar player has been using an 8 string guitar and playing in standard. But, I'm just too broke to afford buying an 8 string guitar right now, so spaghetti strings it is for some of these songs.

I like it bro i enjoy the cover
Happy new year

Me encanta tu técnica hermano!!

by the way... what is that shirt you are wearing? I want one.

It's a Day of the Dead shirt from Cavity Colors! I'm not sure if it's currently in stock on their site, but they do restock often and if they don't ship to Asia you could probably use a reshipping service to snag one.

Hey just seen this now. That's so low because Deftones guitarist uses an 8 strings guitar. I'm obsessed with the song You've seen the butcher.
I recorded the guitar part but i'd like to find a drummer here on Hive to make a collab and publish it on 3speak. If you know someone, let me know 😁
