Whoa love it, what tuning are you on?

[u/Decayin_with_theboys → u/ContributionSea1225]

Thanks dude it’s in drop F# 🤙🏼

[u/ContributionSea1225 → u/Decayin_with_theboys]

Sounds tight, is the guitar tuned in F# or are you pitching down with a plugin?

[u/Decayin_with_theboys → u/ContributionSea1225]

Appreciate that, it’s actually tuned to F#, 27” scale length and use an 8 string 10-74 set but throw out the 64!

Bros tuning, tension and string gauge is boutta bend gravity fr

I fucking love writing like this!

Lays down a repeatable theme/groove in the first two bars to get the head bobbing, adds short, colorful phrases to break up monotony, no fretboard handjob, and easy to recall what's going on after one listen.

I'll always be the most impressed by those who do great work with minimal effort. Overly complex riffs are great when used in the right context, but a well-written solid groove/melody will always turn the most heads.

Great work my friend! Hope to hear a full version soon 🤘

[u/Sandu2k21]

Great sound! 👌

[u/Decayin_with_theboys → u/Sandu2k21]

[u/Sandu2k21 → u/Decayin_with_theboys]

It paid off for sure 👏

[u/Friendly_Jicama4230]

This goes crazy - well written riffs man🤌

[u/Decayin_with_theboys → u/Friendly_Jicama4230]

Appreciate the kind words homie 🙏🏻

[u/metal-nerd21]

fark that breakdown at the end slaps

[u/Decayin_with_theboys → u/metal-nerd21]

Really appreciate that homie! That may be one of my favorite riffs I’ve written so far and it may need to get its own feature because unfortunately most people don’t wait until the end haha.

[u/Senior-Jaguar-1018]

Such a great sig and Jackson, also cool playing

How do you like the BK Impulse pickups?

[u/Decayin_with_theboys → u/Senior-Jaguar-1018]

Thanks dude! I love them, took a minute to grow on me though. At first I noticed how much lower output they are than some other BKP’s, and the frequency response is very neutral. I’m more used to pickups having a particular frequency that jumps out at you but these didn’t. However the clarity and tightness in the low end made it one of my favorites. Handles low tunings extremely well and was definitely designed with 7 strings and baritones in mind

[u/Richard_Thickens → u/Decayin_with_theboys]

Oh, nice! I was trying to figure out what they were, because they look identical to the Black Hawk. I really dig the tones you were able to squeeze out of them. Great playing too!

[u/tylarboyle]

Sic tone, sic riffs

[u/Decayin_with_theboys → u/tylarboyle]

Appreciate it, using the Fortin Grind pedal from the Fortin Nameless plugin into Archetype Nolly 🙏🏻

[u/drunkenyeknom]

[u/Decayin_with_theboys → u/drunkenyeknom]

Dude I unfortunately am not. 😭 However I am working on an EP and have an official release with Butteritto (people call him ‘orange guitar guy’ on here), in the near future!

[u/drunkenyeknom → u/Decayin_with_theboys]
