Progressive Nation 2009 Tour w/ Dream Theater (Video 3)(Week 4) - Scale The Summit

[shred88]

AWESOME GUYS! Your great Tune sucked me in! ^^ KEEP PLAYIN' THose KILLER TONES! ^^

[Wickedstizzle121]

I WAS THERE, I BOUGHT YOUR CD, I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THAN ALL THE OTHER BANDS (minus Dream theater) YOU GUYS ARE FREAKING AMAZING! you and animals as leaders are the reason Im getting a 8 string but what tuning to you use and what gauge of strings?

[scalethesummit]

@Wickedstizzle121 nice dude, glad to hear that. thank you! i currently have my 8 strings in B E A D G B E G, so a high G and low B. 10 - 56 for the first 7 strings, and then a 08 for the high G. Pretty sure Tosin is E B E A D G B E most of the time, 2 lows, instead of one and one. Hope that helps. -Chris

[Wickedstizzle121]

@scalethesummit Yeah That really helps, I'll get a standard 8 string and then probably buy another and re string it and put a high G on it!

[thefoosa72]

Chris I bet your getting kinda sick of telling people what kind of guitar you use. hahaha That's what you get for using an 8 string. Sounds incredible though

[scalethesummit]

@thefoosa72 na, its fine. its only annoying when i have answered the question 10 comments down on a few videos haha. it really doesn't take much time to answer it again though, I dont really mind. -chris

[NickFerraroAwesome]

haha towards the end, even the security guys are looking at chris like, "wow that kid is freakin good, i cant even perform my job because i am just so amazed right now, wow!"

[Tactrol]

I was also at the edmonton show. it was fucking great! We want to see you come back!

[BruisedEyeSockets]

Hahaha I love you guys! I really like how in the last show on this video, security turns around to watch you.. Haha fucking awesome!

[Kisslinger17]

Saw you guys in Edmonton (i can see myself when the camera pans to the crowd!) and gotta say, you blew me away, best opener i've ever seen. (wouldve gone to meet you...but i couldnt bring myself to give up being in the front, i'de never get it back, although i'm regretting that now) Keep it up, you guys rock!

[JooshyJoosh93]

i think mike portnoy did such a big thing for this band.. i have never even heard of them, and when i went to prog nation and heard them, i was amazed at how good they were and i didnt even no them. this band is going to be big

[WalterLacay0]

Great Progressive Nation stuff. I went to the very first concert in Miami, it's been almost two months since that happened and I still cant get over the idea that I was actually there (came all the way from Nicaragua just to see it.)

[WalterLacay0]

I really liked Scale The Summit since the moment I heard them for the first time, I got really excited to see them play live, it was great, I got a picture with them, hahaha too bad Travis wasnt there at the moment. Actually had a couple minutes talk with you Chris, but dont worry, I know that while on tour there are too many faces and names to remember hahaha.

Greetings from Nicaragua to the guys in the band!

and Keep up the great work!

[Slayers10]

You guys f^&%$n rock!!!

[JRTET21]

The Great Plains is my fav song off the album.

[phmsin]

Small stage in Winterpeg, hey? I saw you guys in Calgary. I own your albums. I was blown away by your talent and stage presence and am looking forward to the next album and when you come back!

[ryushiRj38]

must've been great driving all over the country, with all the beautiful scenery and everything.

[blah152]

I went to prog nation 08, and Three amazed me. But this year, you guys were just off the charts! Saw you in Calgary, amazing show.

[MrBrawl]

You know, though I definitely think these guys are better than Bigelf, they're a great opener. They're a reason why the opening act exists and why you shouldn't just come for the main attraction! In a way though it's a trap to make you see Bigelf, but whatever. You guys are very talented, keep it up. Loved the show in Milwaukee :)

[RyanCmetal]

amazingggg

[StewieSwan]

Beautiful new guitar chris

[chaveznieves]

and what is the tuning you use?

[tehsimo]

I think they use standard 7 string tuning with an extra high string, but I forget what it is.

[Behiimosu]

Travis uses (low to high) BEADGbe

and Chris uses BEADGbeg

[HCXanithon]

B standard (7 string) + a high G.

[chaveznieves]

chris what kind of guitar is that you're using? i know its an 8 string, but what brand/model is it and what tuning do you use?

[scalethesummit]

thanks a lot guys!

and its a Sherman 8 String. That's one of the new ones I got during the tour , its name is the "Blue Bomber 8".

-Chris

[acdc51502112]

I'm still insanely surprised you guys played first...IMO should have played after DT.

[chaveznieves]

well i wouldn't go that far. but i think they're better than big elf. and WAY better than zappa

[jplaysguitar]

blasphemy!

[KorporalKlegg]
