Jared Dines doesn’t seem to ever get sick of asking “What if….” and he always seems to want to push the boundaries of our musical expectations. Although he’s not the first to ask what metal sounds like tuned up higher (here’s Pete Cottrell’s take on the idea, and my Inside Out Standard Tuning video from last week sort of covered some similar ground), he does a good job of demonstrating that some ideas at least, maybe should stay in the key that they’re written, and some transcend key altogether.
In this video he has tuned his guitar up a fifth to B standard, and plays the riffs exactly as they are written.

I mean I know these videos are popular which is why he keeps doing them. But he did a standard v drop tuning video a while back which proved that the riff writing is what makes something sound good. Well written riffs sound good in any tuning where as shit riffs sound dull no matter what you’re playing them in.
Every time he does a video like this is just proves the same thing.

A few things..1) nice work, 2) mist of those sounded pretty good, however the trooper got kind of washed out 3) never play breaking Buttjamin again
