More about this title

About the Artist: Korn

Korn formed in Bakersfield, California, in 1993 and became one of the defining bands of nu-metal, blending heavy distorted guitars with hip-hop rhythms and unconventional song structures. The band's innovative approach to riff-writing and production has influenced generations of metal musicians and remains central to contemporary heavy music.

Why we love this

This track gives guitar students access to authentic nu-metal riffing at a level where the technical demands match the stylistic payoff. Learning to execute Korn's signature downtuned, syncopated parts builds both precision and confidence in a genre that resonates with contemporary players.

What to expect

Heavy, propulsive, and rhythmically angular, this piece locks into a groove that feels as much rooted in percussion and hip-hop timing as in traditional metal. The syncopated riffing creates forward momentum despite the low tuning, with a menacing tone that balances aggression and precision.

Who it's for

This TAB suits intermediate to advanced electric guitar students who want to explore modern metal vocabulary and understand how riff-based songwriting shapes contemporary heavy music. Players interested in downtuned guitar technique, syncopation, and the rhythmic foundations of nu-metal will find genuine technical and musical value here.

How to get the most out of it

  • Set your tuning to match the original (typically several steps below standard) and verify intonation after tuning down, as lower tensions require careful setup.
  • Lock into the syncopated rhythms by subdividing against a metronome at half speed, then gradually increase tempo to nail the groove.
  • Pay attention to dynamics and palm-muting variations in the TAB; the contrast between muted attack and full tone defines the riff's character.
  • Use the TAB fingering suggestions as a starting point, but adjust your hand position to maximize comfort and control in the lower register.

How to use it

Program this as a showcase for electric guitar students in an ensemble concert or recital setting where contemporary styles are featured alongside classical and traditional repertoire. It works particularly well in a segment highlighting how modern bands use extended range and unconventional tuning to expand the instrument's palette.

Skills your students will build

  • Reading TAB notation accurately and translating it to the fretboard
  • Playing syncopated rhythms in downtuned registers
  • Controlling palm-muted attack and clarity on heavily distorted guitars
  • Developing stamina and precision in repetitive riff patterns
  • Understanding how tuning and tone production shape genre-specific sound
