I like that the background remover removed tuners from the headstock. That's not the surgery I'm performing tonight!

the good doctor is back to perform guitar surgery tonight at 6:45pm eastern

Pretty happy two people have noticed the Soundgarden riff in today's video.

I usually never play other people's songs in videos for fear of getting demonetized, but today I tried to live instead of falling on black days.

Chris wrote 95% of the songs, so Kim sure has a big ego about the songwriting in this interview. Anyway, EEBBBe confirmed. (and again, Chris wrote the songs in this tuning)

oh wait according to a sourceless wikipedia entry it's in EEBBBe and not EEBBBB

this does make more sense because EEBBBe is a known Soundgarden tuning

either way I'm not bothering

also, some real Telecaster and Les Paul slander from Kim Thayil here 😆

3 chords and the truth?

how about one chord and a lie?

imagine tuning your guitar to basically a power chord and then writing a hit song and going on your merry way like everything is normal

had a heck of a time trying (and failing) to figure this song out without looking at tabs

obviously the general ideas of the main riffs are easy but nothing sounded right

fucking EEBBBB come on guys get real I don't have time for shenanigans

oh I'm sorry I forgot EEBBBB tuning for The Day I Tried To Live

Not for nothing but apparently Chris Cornell really struggled with songwriting and Fell On Black Days had been floating around for years before he finally figured it out. The demo, for example, is wildly different

I'm not sure why I didn't learn more Soundgarden songs growing up. I guess I never felt like tuning my one guitar to EEEEBB or EEEEBE or BAGDAD or DAGDAD or EEEDAD or DEEBAD or BADEEE

the intro/verse/chorus riff, of course ... but the bridge riff is cool as heck too

Learning the songs of my youth and Fell On Black Days by Soundgarden is probably the best riff ever invented

The paradox of social media:

A video I hoped would do well on YouTube is my worst performer in a year whereas the same video is my best TikTok in a year.

The paradox of hair: if you wash it with soap or shampoo you simultaneously get it wet and dry it out.

Fender Standard Series Telecaster

Stating the obvious but that is an incredibly depressing place to visit. I had to leave halfway through their tour.

We watched it a couple weeks ago. It was good!

Another good one filmed in Poland is EO (streaming on Max), although it is also very sad.

🤘

If you're gonna perform guitar surgery, you've gotta look the part.

Unrelated: wtf am I doing with my life?

Just ordered a momentary push button (aka kill switch). Back in the olden times we weren't that smart and just desoldered the neck pickup from the pickup switch to pretend we were as good as @tommorelloofficial.bsky.social

Nice! I've built a couple of these. Here's my first (with a 2x4 lapsteel to the right of it)

Finally learned how to outline a photo in a YouTube thumbnail. Only took 3 1/2 years.

if you guessed "string change" then you're right just kidding
