@LeMasterDisaster not true, its not called "musically" correct. it depends on your scale length. for my scale length of 25.5 the standard tuning B E A D G B E A. I tune my high string down a full step. For scale lengths longer than that, its usually the tuning you mentioned, but there is no "correct" tuning system. You can say its the standard tuning, but its not that its "correct".

I like this, A lot of people get to shit metal into these things, you just demonstrated you know what your doing, and you use a metronome. Were/how did you learn, I want a 8 string because of you. ps I play jazz and punk/surf basically anything but drop C stuff, I read music know a few scales, some good theory, but you use some nice flowing scales that go left to right not up to down.

@scalethesummit I was wondering if Sherman Guitars would be able to make a regular 8 string with a F# string instead of a high G or A string

Sorry I'm spamming you Chris, but what tuning do you use on your 8 strings?

cool stuff

Hey guys, our headlining tour started today in Houston! We're playing an 80 minute set each night! Check out the rest of the dates through our website linked in the "video" information up top. Hope to see a lot of you at the shows! -Chris

Hey chris, what song is the first segment of this vid from? I know it's off monument and I thought it was Wolves.. Anyways, I made a guitar pro file of the whole lick, up to where you play the part from Sargasso Sea, and had a blast doing it. It's so well written!

@greg1553 I cant get the video to load, but pretty sure you are right, it should be Wolves.

Chris, just wondering if you could briefly explain the strategy behind having the extra high string tuned to G and not A?

@Captaincereal2 I found more use for having tuned to a high G, especially with all the open string stuff I write.

Still working through your book Chris...its so good. Thanks again for putting it together and getting it out. Its so much better practicing MUSICAL exercises and not blah blah blah stuff. Practicing is definitely a lot funner and more interesting now.
I know you want to express some gratitude to me so go ahead and send me one of those stunning Shermans. Its okay Chris. I don't mind. Hit me in a message and we'll work it out.

@UglyScukuggly glad you are enjoying the book! If I win the lottery some day, which for starters I don't even play, I'll gladly send you one.
