Windhand Guitar Lesson w/ TAB - Orchard - C Standard Tuning

In this stoner doom guitar lesson I teach you the entire rhythm section and guitar solo from Windhand's Orchard, the opening track from the Soma album. The song is broken down into its main riffs, each demonstrated and explained in full detail, followed by a lick-by-lick breakdown of the solo section.

You guitar will need to be tuned to C-Standard

My string gauge: 10-46

The song is played in the key of G-Minor (B-Minor position in Standard Tuning) and it's riffs utilize elements from the Harmonic Minor {R, M2, b3, p4, p5, b6, M7} and Natural Minor {R, M2, b3, p4, p5, b6, b7} scales.

I love windhand to death, saw them live and thought my brain would explode... But holy shit half of their riffs are almost the exact same as this.

This is the one song that got me into Doom. Dorothias vocals with that tone is just amazing

Saw windhand with high on fire in Columbia sc. Such a badass band. Mike's tech lit a cigarette in the building and no one even came at him haha

[MetalHeadHippie]

I did a version of this on my channel also. I'm still a noob so it didn't turn out that great. But I think I got the gist of it. I'm gonna try and learn the full version you do here. Thanks Bro.

Thanks for the lesson, I hope you can keep them coming for years to come. Great tutorial as always.

Oh man! I am so glad that youtube recommended me one of your videos! Almost instantly subbed, and binge watching all your videos right now :) Awesome content, please keep it up!

[elizabethtussey]

Thank you SO much for these videos. It's great to learn the music theory behind these songs in addition to the tutorial.

Any chance you might do some of the heavier Chelsea Wolfe stuff? I’m interested to see how she combines reverb with clipping and what the bones of her songs are like. I don’t have the knowledge of theory/the ear that I used to so your videos are perfect for getting back into the swing of things.

I feel like i owe you a beer. I didnt like Windhand before i thought their music was such a downer. But you opened my eyes man yet again lol. After hearing Woodbine which was one of your recommended songs i was like wow these guys are good! Great riffs drums and vocals. Thank you Steve!

[jordanmayer]
