resonator dobro ,Baritone 8 string guitar demo with ellis stompbox

[leroy0053]

i know the pieces fit, cause i watched them fall away.....lol....schism

[professorplum]

shit man. i have been dreaming about an 8 string tricone, i had no idea someone actually built one!

[ashben88]

woah



[PlasticC4]

I love it...

[MrMott6669]

how can i get one of these!?!?!?

[CidSilverWing]

A 3-man band in 1! :D

[SlipKnotIOWAmasks]

shouldnt the 8th string be tuned to F#?

[KincaidBass]

it does not sound like a bass at all

[sweeney665]

it's optimus prime!....or his guitar..or a transformer guitar..you name it

[chrisgroove100]

Sure a player can do a lot of cool stuff with an 8 strings dobro but does anyone really like the sound of the basses or their adynamia compared to the higher strings? Sorry, but I can hear the pushed-to-max Bass EQ clearly when the guy is talking...

[TheCrystalyne]

Cool stuff

[PureZOOKS]

for the love of all that is holy, where can I get one of these beasts?

[thomizz]

shism variation?

[Moore2501]

2:38 - 3:09 ah yeah that's where it's at!

[CletusColtrane]

son house is rolling

[AirUpThere996]

The excerpt he plays at 1:50 sounds a lot like Tool's Schism.

[XxJamesJawsxX]

1:59 - 2:01

Bass Guitar is false!!!!!

[XxJamesJawsxX]

haha!!! this is in the gayest tuning i is ever did see! fake,lame and unrelated

REAL 8 string's lowest string has low F# or E1 which is in the 40hz zone like

EBEDGBE or F#BEADGBE

no double high e thats just being a dumbass

[AirUpThere996]

@XxJamesJawsxX

You do know what a chorus effect is, right?

[XxJamesJawsxX]

@AirUpThere996

would you be implying i have a low intellect?

[Leadmetal300]

a 6 A string?? omg, it will break:(

[DanielWiersma]

I love the tune at 2:46

[urheadonastick]

Always a rare pleasure seeing a demo being done by a talented player like this guy.

[suprjnt420]

How to do you get two high e/e's with one tuner?

[Henders100]

@suprjnt420 Pick them separately. 

[TheReighnart]

Hehe, don't actual tenor guitars only have four strings?

[BIGSBYTREM]

@TheReighnart Tenor is a key range/notation register not a string count. Its called a Tenor because the scale length is longer and thus in standard pitch it has lower note range.

[TheReighnart]

@BIGSBYTREM

Yeah, I get that. But google it. Tenor guitars have 4 strings.

[BIGSBYTREM]

@TheReighnart What people name things means nothing. The term tenor applied to four string guitars is just terminology made up by manufacturers! They could just as easily called four string guitars Pigtail lolly-pop fruit mango Baladatrons! Tenor sounded cool fifty years ago so thats what we have. This stuff becoms clear when you study harmony and voice leading. Standard tuning + longer string = Tenor.

[caralhosvosfodam]

which tuning are you using there?

[MadDogMolenaar]

prog metal + blues = ?

[stealyourface73]

@MadDogMolenaar prog metal + blues = The Black Eyed Snakes... Check 'em out!!! They rock!!! It's 1 of 3 bands that Allan Sparhawk fronts. His main band is LOW, which is very very slow & hypnotic. But, the Black Eyed Snakes are extreme!!!

[JayArpeggios]

i dont play anything near this style but i find this very interesting.... i do play 8 string but electric tuned to F#, B, E, A, D, G, B, E...... and sometimes a half step lower. this 8 string ellis looks like a lot of fun tho.

[JulianHertz]

thats sick man! looks and sounds amazing!

[twiztedchild666]

I want one, of each the pedals and the 8 string lol

[Metallicaforever95]

what is a stomp box used for how u use it and what sound

[mdaleo]

Beautiful guitar! Superb playing!

[yeahmansoul]

i love the end piece

[renzolikescheez]

Lol Progressive metal meets the blues.

[DanielWiersma]

@renzolikescheez Progressive metal? Whut? I don't recognize anything of that in this. Fully blues!

[DTRemcoG]

The Tin Hat Trio should look into getting a couple of these.

[disturbedrocks992]

Wow, I wish I could use a slide like that.

[willimace]

l4d2 music

[TheAngelInTheAir]

Holy crap.

[Deftoneskid1]

That shit sounds mad tool haha

[MetalBuddah]

those bass riffs sound a bit like stuff Tool writes

[binzing]

Its the bass line to I know the pieces fit.

[Lukesdoor]

schism* pretty much exactly

[RustyRoulette]

in fact, the first bass riff, is a small variation on Schism( or how the f#$% you spell it)

[CapnPuff69]

@MetalBuddah It sounds just like a lower tuned version of schism

[source1zero]

@MetalBuddah That was totally Schism wasn't it..

[SGTSHOOTnMISS]

@MetalBuddah the first one is very similar to Schism, i think thats what your relating to it, and you are correct

[FURRY1995]

@MetalBuddah yeh Schism isnt it the song???

[ellipsicon]

@MetalBuddah

Yeah, that little hammer on triplet sounds like the main riff from Schism.

[CHICKMAGNET66666]

@MetalBuddah actually its pretty much close to what schism sounds like hes in the same position as adam

[GDT1124]

@MetalBuddah He's basically playing a Schism

[hojima]

@MetalBuddah Not at all....

[longboyful]

[greezmunky111]

man the guitar is cool...but not $5600 cool...shit i would rather hear an old stand up slappin behind a beat up pawn shop dobro...

[Suasion]

That bass riff at 1:50 is Schism by Tool(slightly elaborated on),but thats pretty sick to mix in with blues.That part with the capo is a great concept as well.Nice job.

[aahmm]

yeeeah i caught that too. great riff

[RCROSSH]

I love this sound !

[HarshRocks85]

Pretty Cool,,, I should rate Six stars,,too bad there isnt room,,Hmmm

[PopovVictor]

[threehedgehogs]

great!!!

[OLDENpopovVictor]

beautiful sound!!!

[KeniLeeBurgess]

This is a very nice guitar. I love the idea of the extended bass, but with a price tag of $5600.00 US, it is a little too steep for my needs. Thanks for sharing.

[iceblendedcofee]

he reminds me of the guy from house. excellent vid tho.

[bluespower]

[feddless]

I love your guitars, anywhere I can buy a Ellis guitar? So beatiful sound of it, falling inlove again :) So, I want to buy a Ellis guitar, where can I buy one? :)
