More about this title

About the Artist: Korn

Korn emerged from Bakersfield, California in the mid-1990s as pioneers of nu-metal, blending heavy guitar riffs with hip-hop rhythms and electronic elements. Their approach to guitar work, featuring extended techniques, unconventional tunings, and rhythmically complex patterns, fundamentally influenced how metal guitarists approached their instruments in the decades that followed.

Why we love this

B.B.K. captures the signature Korn sound that advanced metal guitarists want to master: aggressive riffing paired with unconventional tuning and rhythmic precision. The TAB format makes this contemporary heavy music accessible for self-directed study and band rehearsal without requiring transcription skills. Students working through this piece develop the technical control and tonal awareness that defines modern metal performance.

What to expect

Propulsive and intense, with the kind of rhythmic drive and tonal aggression that defines Korn's approach to guitar writing. The piece demands precision and control while delivering the visceral satisfaction of heavy music played with technical proficiency.

Who it's for

Advanced guitarists comfortable with drop tunings and heavy distortion who want to expand their contemporary metal repertoire. Students exploring modern heavy music styles will find this piece both challenging and immediately rewarding to perform.

How to get the most out of it

  • Pay attention to pick attack and muting. The clarity of each note depends on precise right-hand control, especially in the tighter, syncopated passages.
  • Use the TAB's rhythm notation to lock into the exact feel. Korn's timing is deceptive; what sounds aggressive often relies on subtle rhythmic displacement.
  • Balance distortion settings so individual notes remain articulate. Heavy gain can blur notes together if the amp tone leans too thick in the low-mid frequencies.
  • Reference the original recording frequently during practice. The guitar tone and feel are integral to the arrangement in ways TAB alone cannot fully convey.

How to use it

Feature this in a guitar recital or ensemble concert alongside other contemporary metal or alternative repertoire to demonstrate the technical range your advanced players have developed. It works equally well as a solo feature or as part of a student band performance.

Skills your students will build

  • Drop tuning technique and adjustment
  • Syncopated rhythmic reading in complex meters
  • Distortion tone control and note articulation under gain
  • Alternate picking accuracy in fast, aggressive passages
  • Dynamic contrast between driving riffs and quieter sections
