Lazy 'Needles' guitar tutorial [System of a Down]

One lazy take, mistakes added for flavor.
Just in case the broken english throws you off:
Drop C tuning (from top to bottom d, a, f, c, g, c)
Hope you like it! Lemme know if you have any questions or there's something i can clarify from the video. I know i fucked up some parts, as the title reads, it's lazy, so yeah.

Thank you for stopping by! Love to hear this helped!

No need to thank!

Sounds good man what amplifier you using. You have the tone dialed in like Daron's. Dude I seen them in Las Vegas this spring. It was the coolest thing ever. They sounded awesome. It sounded like Daron was using early 90s dual rectifier.

Im just using neural dsp, gojira archetype, default preset.

Yeah SOAD do have a great sound live honestly, seen em twice, live footage makes no justice to their show.

After the slides of "Youuuuuuuuuuuuu" I do 6-0000-6-0000-6-0000-6-0 then slides again. 5/12, 1/12.
The 0000 being palm muted feels much more agressive, in the face, which SOAD is all about in these instances.
Not sure if that's what Daron does but it feels good and violent so I dont even care to be honest.

[@kautaron]

Yeah, i find the most fun to play stuff my own way.

hey would you mind sharing what gear do you use in these songs? specially for the distorted sound? super impressive how close you got it to sound like the original studio records!

I suck at playing guitar, but that part around 3:00 reminds me of that Slayer song… does someone else know the name? Raining Blood?

[@kautaron]

Could be, yeah.
