Devin is the reason I switched to Open C and let me tell you he is 110% right about it just being more easy and fluid, I found my home as far as guitar playing goes once I switched to Open C.
John Thomas Same here, it just seems to make everything so much easier ^^
Guitar is a lot more logical feeling in open C, except for the E string.
I feel like buying a new electric, maybe a hollow body and leaving it in open c or b for farting around on.
any good resources for finding info on scale shapes and appregios for open c? i cant find any via the internet
Work smarter not harder 🤘
Ya gotta love Devin Townsend! Great sense of humor and a true guitar badass.
Indeeeeed!
+Guy Fawkes and a great singer and composer, incredibly original. I discovered him with Steve Vai on the Sex and Religion tour, he was an animal
Metal shop throwing stars! No one will mess with us. No one.
That was cool how he sweep picked then pedaled the high E right back into the sweep again....this is the guy my friends were talking about , playing leads and singing at the same time!! we thought that that was a big deal.
His face at 2:09 onward nearly had me spit soda on brand new keyboard god damn you Dev lolololol
you SWEEPS picks it... SWEEPS PICKS it....
They say hey look I can sweeps and I am like NO u can not u suck go take a shower
This is from the Duncan hills coffe jingle tutorial right? It's gotta be
Devin "reverb king" Townsend
HAHAHA Its like he is almost always using reverb even live
Harrison Crutcher he does, a reverb and two delays
Delay, Reverb, Delay
LOOVE this man's reverb!!!
I have been rolling with the D'Addario NYXL1149. Love em.
Just imagine if everyone took themselves as seriously as Devin. Not just musicians, but everyone. Everyone would be wandering around saying "Hey did you hear that song? No? Well GET TO MY HOUSE AND LET'S LISTEN WE'LL GET PIZZA AND THEN BE BESTEST FRIENDS" and "We COULD invade those guys. But this cake is too damn delicious. Airdrop in some cake."
Devin Townsend for President!
Hank Hill Devin Townsend for World Leader!
Pedro Duarte
Just Devin Townsend. Just . . . Devin Townsend, forever.
DaveDexterMusic The man should be immortal!
That second one just sounds like what Ziltoid 3 would sound like LMAO
I've always played friends in standard tuning but finding this out does make more sense now
I recently tuned my 7-string in open C tuning. It is a very strange tuning on a 7, but I love the simplicity and smoothness of open tuning. Also very often with a standard one I used to get stuck, while open C it also increases a lot of creativity which is essential when making music
Awesome! Devin is amazing!
My viper is sort of a open E flat tuning but with 5th and root only. So low 7 string B Flat but with high E at at the top. But Devins open C tuning inspired me.
Underrated as hell!!
2:11 It Has No Price;)
Love this guy :)
"THESE ARE THE STRINGS THAT I USE"
hahahaha
lmfao
his humor reminds me of Greg Coch. Devin and Greg are both really great players.
ROCK ON
Damn it Devin i want SYL back
I'm aware of that duh
Did I ask to hear your bitching? No
Then don't read the comments shit head. I'm done talking to you. Have fun feel like your important on the internet loser
No shit dummy
Who Tf are you talking to
How do I get this camera effect where everything breaks up?
Upload lesson please for open c scale tab
Every guitar I own is in open C ..I can't make it talk as good as Devin can but at least you can understand the conversation lol
Daym! That glowing guitar though. Can you get one of these in market\shops, or its custom only? (I didn't saw a single one in the shops i've been)
They're custom Framus's made for him with special artwork and LED inlays
***** rocks! Devin, come out to Saskatchewan and lets make some music!
The Canadian accent just slays me.
I always played standard tuning and know all the scales and sort, but I do like the open C sound, if I switched to open C tuning would that screw up my brain and instincts?
If you know music theory, no, you should be able to adjust.
Alot of playing in open C is just taking a pattern (as it is in standard, but easier) and moving it. Octaves have no fret change on the string skip cause its just CGCGCE. Arpeggios are pretty simple as well. I swap between standard and open all the time.
Yep, I do that as well. I keep my 7 string in in C, a 6 string in B since dev rarely uses the 7th in B songs. Others are standards or drop variants
any idea what gauge he uses for the low G on his 7 strings?
I use a .60
But that's 26.5" scale length.
fkn lmao at 2:06
I thought that Pagey used CACGCE,..hmmh!
Wouldn't a 54 be really floppy and loose tuned down to C?
I tune to C with .52's
@@vorpalblades Thanks..I ended up going with a 52 on the low string. Happy with it.
No not even... as a matter of fact 10-52 is perfect for Baritone tuning ( B,E,A,D,F#,B) on a 6 string @ 25.5" scale length so tuning to C goes to show its actually pretty heavy using a 54.... I've been playing for 25 years and tried all kinds of combinations even going to a .70 for drop A on a 6 string it's it's too damned much. 10-52 is prefect for C# or C standard
52 is to light for C. D'Addario tension chart says at least a 58 single for C. Must be a low tension spring on his Evertune bridge.
+Ash Chase depends on the scale length of the guitar too. If it's a Les Paul type, yeah, it would be too light. but on a 25 1/2 scale it works better. I use the same set of strings but i'm tuned to D standard on a 25 1/2 scale and it's fucking perfect tension.
+Chris Warrick For D standed 10to52 works, but the high end/bottom side is alittle light, EX116 works best for D Standard. I use EXL115w for D standard.
check out stringprotenion.com
Ash Chase
it appears to be working for him.
Ash Chase
also remember the scale length thing. a set of 10-52's on a say, Fender Strat in D standard will feel way too light on a Les Paul in D standard.
+Chris Warrick It goes by scale length of the neck. The shorter the neck the higher in gauge you will have to go. At the end of the day it's personal preference. Everything gauge of string has a different tension and resistance when bending. I personally like my string tension tight. Having a 52 gauge for C is like having a 42 gauge In E.
Horribly interlaced video, we meet again...
hahahaha. great.
I guarantee you that everything he just played is either in Casualties of Cool or Z2.
Nope, I heard stuff from the Ki album and Deconstruction I believe.
JesterIF And the first Ziltoid album as well.
So easy to sound like this with the absolute best equipment, and a thousand layers of effects...
Oh...is it?!
Lmfao you must be one of those guys who thinks amazing guitarist "only sound good because of all that echo" 🤦♂️
Lmfao if you actually knew ANYTHING about guitar you would know that adding another layer...
A timing effect... makes it more difficult because you have to keep timing with the effect as well.
It doesn't cover mistakes it makes them more obvious. DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR
This is not music this is noise.
No wonder this all sounds like Jim root. He's just stepped it down, like he said.
WTF? This has nothing to do with Jim Root.
This guy is better than Guthrie Govan
fredo gumbo Devin is my favorite musician, but I will say Govan is better at least from a technical standpoint (not to say he can't play w/ feel, because he definitely can). Then again one of the things I love about DT is he isn't overly techy for the sake of it, his playing is more built on emotion and feel w/ grandiose production.
It's not a competition.
no shit Einstein!!!
nah, he wipes the floor with Guthrie!!!
@@lincthomas7178 Just no. That is factually not correct. I much prefer Devin's music, but GG is by far the better guitarist.

I just watched a guitar get raped.
