Passing Through Time by Eric Clemenzi

[Emblemz]

damn this sounds really nice!

[hopkinWFG]

hey would you mind share me your experience with your 8 string guitar? its tonality and playbility?

[CQ7String]

Absolutely awesome brother!

[joshherbert1]

Awesome!! Great tapping!

[l3m0np13]

I enjoyed this very much. Great playing bro!

[thekissilent]

with an 8 string..does that mean u have a low B and low G?

[Kangaralien]

Hi! Low B and Low F#

[CrushTheUniverse]

a) i sweat to god I watch this weekly

b) need tab plox

c) recorded version plox

b) is this just in f#beadgbe? I have a 7 string, kinda want to figure it out

[Kangaralien]

Thanks for checking out the vid! At some point I will get to a tab, but I am teaching about 50 hours a week right now and don't have time. A recording will happen though at some point. You are correct about the tuning!

[CrushTheUniverse]

iight. Awesome. Thanks. Just wondering. Not familiar with the 8 string, nor bands who use it as much (Scale the Summit is about it) so it's a tad alien. I hardly utilize the b on my seven, haha.

Damn. That tapping riff at :56 is so awesome.

I may end up buying an Agile 8 string, as my Agile 7 rules. Ha

Anyways, keep it up. Look forward to a tab

[ClaptonRules64]

Cool Song man

[PunkWigga]

hahahah you totally owned that little fag on ug, and are your frets scalloped? It sure looks like it from what i can see

[Kangaralien]

Hey! No scalloped frets on the 8!

Just curious what is all this talk about UG?  I have seen it in a few posts and have no idea what everyone is talking about.

[BrianGuitarShred]

It looks like you were victim of a point someone posted on the Ultimate-Guitar forums. Someone posted a video of them playing guitar and some guy claimed that he probably just posted a random video and claimed it was him.

He proved how easy it and possible it was for him to do that by him finding this video and claiming it was him. It seems like very few people picked up that he was joking and just showing how easy it is to fake being a good player with youtube videos. Sick playing though man.

[NightmareRitual]

That's pretty sweet stuff. Awesome looking guitar too. Finally, something good came from wasting time on UG.

[SoundGardenX]

Got sent here from UG, some kid saying his band and solo shit was out of this world. And then you post this FTW!!!

[Elitex2097]

Yeah, i had the same. Fucking hell, awesome work there dude!

[PunkWigga]

dude i got here from that 2 haha

[Thrash648]

this is fucking SICK man.

nice one =D

also, is that an 8 string? :P

[FenderMetalShredder]

You're quite the guitarist.

[guitarist5464]

seriously i NEED a tab for that badass tapping riff

[nfguitarist]

i like the dream theater poster in the back there. may I ask if you have a recorded version of this. a tab maybe?

[Kangaralien]

Hey! I am still working on the recorded version. I hope I can do a tab in the future!

[BrofUJu]

Dude this is so fantastic, you need to upload some more. Do you have an album or more written? I'd totally buy that.

[dreamlabsmedia]

BrofUJu,

Eric has a solo album called "Basement Tapes" -- highly recommended if you like this song. Search for it on iTunes. It doesn't contain this song, though.

[ArshkyBarshky]

Very nice.

[eatyourfetus]

haha nice poster, fantastic playing

[randyrhoads2891]

dude, you are cuh-ray-zee. i counted, you hit 958765497654076497650764076034­765704367 notes....swear to god

[RIPrandyrhoadsRIP]

Wow Eric that is nice!!

[PyramidHeadX]

Insane, just amazing guitar work!

[xixiianxixix]

how did your fingers feel after that?

[ShuguProductions]

Sounds like a mix between Slipknot and Steve Vai.

[UncleJayLo]

I remember while taking lessons from Eric that he said he wasnt much of a tapper, its cool to see he turned that around and made something great out of it!

[innerevil223]

what kind of tuner do you use for an eight string?

[Kangaralien]

I use a standard chromatic tuner to tune the strings low to high - F# B E A D G B E

[bicyclerace9]

That is so coool!!!! I got an ear for Music so it looks :-)

[rockinbulldog10]

wow the title fits the song pretty well (especially the tapping part(s)...sounds like a time warp forming)

but I will always remember this as the SYMS 2008 Guitar Anthem

and time flies super fast at SYMS ;P

[bicyclerace9]

Ok Ok I'm new at this. It was ME who's Idea was Passing Through Time for a title for this song. I didn't realize I was on my son's name. I'll get it eventually...

[Kangaralien]

Cool title!! I think that is the winner! Passing Through Time it is!

[Gothika99]

Passing Through Time....I'll forgive ya for erasing this very AWESOME Title for this New Song.

[Kangaralien]

Sorry about that!

[Kangaralien]

A user posted a great name - Passing Through Time - and I accidentally erased it! Sorry!!! I can't remember the user name, but I'll know it if I see it. GREAT TITLE!

[WCuneo]

It should totally be called "The Elmo Song", due to the badass sticker on the back of your 8.

[Kangaralien]

As much as I like Elmo, I am not sure it is quite right for this tune. I'll have to make an Elmo tribute song instead.

[WCuneo]

An Elmo tribute song is a definite win.

[progressivedrums]

Gambling Money?

[Kangaralien]

Interesting, but not quite right.

[rockinbulldog10]

i knew i recognized this song from SYMS

i dont know if eric already does this, but I try to think of something that happened around the same time as when I came up with the song or the riff

Since Eric played this at SYMS, I'd probably pick anything that happened in those two weeks (Keeping it "in the mood", of course. I mean i wouldn't call this one "Cute Butterfly" unless I added "of Doom" to the end)

the sky's the limit...

[Kangaralien]

Cute Butterfly of Doom is SO METAL! \m/
