More about this title

About the Artist: Korn

Korn emerged from Bakersfield, California in the early 1990s as pioneers of nu metal, blending heavy guitar distortion with hip-hop rhythms and unconventional song structures. The band's innovative approach to tuning, tone, and rhythm guitar work has influenced generations of players seeking to expand beyond traditional metal frameworks.

Why we love this

This track showcases why Korn's guitar work demands serious attention from rock and metal students. The TAB gives players direct access to the precise techniques, unconventional tuning, and rhythmic intensity that define the band's signature sound without requiring transcription work.

What to expect

Aggressive and hypnotic at once. The guitar tone cuts through with industrial intensity while the rhythm section locks into grooves that feel almost funky despite the heavy distortion. There's a mechanical precision layered with raw power that rewards careful listening and meticulous execution.

Who it's for

Advanced to intermediate guitar players comfortable with distortion, heavy rhythms, and unconventional tuning systems. Students studying modern metal, alternative rock, or musicians exploring how to expand beyond traditional blues-based rock vocabulary will find this material directly applicable to their development.

How to get the most out of it

  • Lock into the rhythmic feel before worrying about speed. The pocket and groove matter more than tempo precision in this style.
  • Pay close attention to muting and palm-muting notation in the TAB. The tone quality hinges on how you dampen the strings between notes.
  • Check the tuning information carefully. Korn often uses altered tunings that dramatically change the physical approach to familiar fingerings.
  • Work through sections slowly with a metronome, then gradually increase tempo once the muscle memory is solid. The technical demands require controlled building.

How to use it

Feature this as part of a modern repertoire unit exploring how metal and alternative rock have shaped contemporary guitar technique. Students performing this piece gain insight into production-era guitar innovations and the relationship between tone shaping and musical identity.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading and executing TAB notation with precision
  • Applying muting techniques (palm muting, string dampening) for tone control
  • Playing in altered tunings and adapting finger positions accordingly
  • Maintaining rhythmic accuracy in syncopated and unconventional meters
  • Developing distortion tone quality and amp awareness
