      It would be cool if you could make a video showing some chords for metal types with tabs.

    I'm not gonna lie. I got myself an 8 string and I was like: "ok, now what?" So I mostly write 6 and 7 string riffs and have that extra atring there to fill in whenever needed. That just changed since I've now watched this video. Thanks, man!

      A bit late but, in case the input is of some use, I prefer to not spam the 8th string everywhere so it gets more impactful when I use it and also not to fall in the "8th string 24/7" thing

      Pretty much same here. Got my Agile Intrepid Pro 828 at 16, and was on my Meshuggah craze for awhile, then like you I said “Now what?”
      After several years I went back to 6 strings and play 90% of my stuff on them in Standard B. I’m thinking of getting a 7 since I just skipped right over them and just to have a complete trio of 6/7/8.
      Note: This takes away nothing from my 8 string. I still play it and It has lots of sentimental value to me and is still one of the best guitars I’ve ever played. I just lost touch/love with all the Meshuggah-esque Djent stuff.

    This is surely the best 8 string channel bar none, i listen to you all the time on spotify, love what you do, it's hugely inspiring. Been through all the guitar chanels from mydarkeningheart (back in the day) jared dines, andrew baena, stevie T, rob chapman/Anderton- but when it comes to Hulk smashing the riffs, no one does it quite like Chichikailo

  • @JMetalGuitarist
    @JMetalGuitarist 5 лет назад +15

    From everything I’ve seen 8 appears to be the optimal number of strings for metal. I wonder how many people transition straight from 6 to 8 and how many bridge the gap with a 7 first.

    • @Psyfonify
      @Psyfonify 5 лет назад

      i'm hoping getting a 7 string, downtuning it, and using a whammy pedal when i need a higher chord, will cover things....that, or a 7 with a high string added (like a high G or F#), and an ehx pitchfork to shift it down a 4th or 5th to reach 8 string territory
      If not, then my wallet is screwed...jk...those LTD ec-258 thin les paul body 8 strings look cool, somehow the only 8 string that looks "right" proportion wise, the body makes the neck look like a 6 string neck in comparison almost

      Rockin’ Pixels That’s what I’m about to do. I want to have the ability to play ultra heavy stuff and thrash/heavy riffs in the same guitar and be able to transition between them

    • @robertstith4635
      @robertstith4635 5 лет назад

      I just got my first 8. Transitioned straight from a 6 and I love it. I know theory pretty well though and I've been playing for a while. I've played a couple 7s at guitar center before but I dont own one. I feel like if you're confident in your playing and you eventually want to get an 8 you might as well go for it because it literally has a 7 built into it lmao
