Nice playing and utilization of the range, but it just sounds too generic to me.

@evanpegler Some day in the future, if and when your taste in music matures, then you'll appreciate this level of skill.

Finally! Some 8-string guitar that isn't just Meshuggah rip offs!

A bass line felt deep in the fibers of myocardium ... syncopal sweetness. Thank you!

This guy is a badass.

[jozevgates]

yeah, it's about time someone used an 8 string for something other than metal chugging.

[zsreich]

This is great. I really like to play similar Ideas on my 8 string. Its cool to be able to play "bass lines" and the melodic stuff on the same instrument. Really I think the 8 strings make a lot of sense for jazz although I got mine to play heavy metal.

Excellent!!



[guitarrhythymfool]

@alexxdeadly Well, it depends. If you're going to just use those extra strings for chugs, then no, it isn't. But if you try to actually utilize the range, then yes, it is.

@Dilanadu

Well, obviously you haven't even played a 12 string before.

[alexxdeadly]

He meant a 12 string (E.r.) Guitar you troll and yes it is harder to play guitars with more strings if your only used to the standard 6 strings.

[Dilanadu]

@Gxyz222 a 12 string is literally no harder to play than a 6 string...the number of strings doesn't have anything to do with difficulty...
