I just put a set of 10s on my ASAT and the farking G is bwowing to crap. I think I got a dud (wouldn't be unexpected from standard fare EB strings... It is driving me insane. BWOOOOwwwwooooWOOOOOOWwwwwwwOOOOWw
Nice to see we are all fans of onomatopoeia.

Yeah just don't pick hard. I happen to love the "bwooowwww", the out of tune-ness lends to the heavy.

It's from the strings being lighter for sure.

After some tries I finally have a verdict...
Apparently the source of the problem was me putting TWO freaking defective .60 strings in a row
The third one (which is actually a .59 because my store ran out of .60) finally scared all the BWOOOWWWWing away
I didn't think it could be a string problem because, you know, that's the first thing I replaced
Anyway, wrapping it bottom to top to reduce the angle on the nut helped as well, I have yet to understand why, but I won't complain
Happy bwwooowwwing everyone!

The "ooo" in "Bwooowwww" is the note going sharp, the "B" is the picking and the "w's" are the correct note. Right off the bat, I would say the only things to do to get rid of the "ooo" in the "Bwooowwww!!!!!!!" is to use a thicker string, pick lighter and dont pick upward from the wood out, pick downward parallel to the body, maybe try using less of the pick, like just the tip of the pick.

i find the extended scale is really helpful for getting rid of that sound. My 25.5 scale will..bwooww but my 30 or 28 3/4 scale wont. and i use medium gauge strings on both
Scale length has a lot more to do with this sound than most of us will admit.
I want to make a song where the guitar is like "bwoww" and the snare drum is all like "ptangk" and the bass is kind of like "fgrurfpt". I'm only 10% joking when I say that, too!
Hate to burst your bubble, but this sound isn't anything new. It is has been present in hardcore/deathcore/brocore for ages. Emmure, Acacia Strain's older stuff, some See You Next Tuesday (grindy, but whatevs), Liferuiner... Ze list goes one! This has been in music for the last ten or longer years.
And if anyone is wondering, this song is actually The Acacia Strain poking fun at Emmure and their endless fucking droning breakdowns.

We must reclaim the term then. I wonder if emmure is going to steal that song, too?
Lol. Emmure themselves have admitted that they are unoriginal, and say that if anyone has a problem with it to "take it up with them." They are (under the impression that they are) hard ass "bros" and like a good fight.

lets not make this an emmure thread, get back to the bwooowwww
I've really been digging that sound really, BECAUSE it sounds so "off". It's quite unique and, like another poster said, it lends to heaviness.
