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
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.
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
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
I wish there was a tab for this - there are some chord and parts I cannot grasp. And when I slow it down, it just gets blurry or the camera switches angles lol.
You like Groove Metal? Then check out my album, available for free download: alexchichikailo.bandcamp.com/album/hangover
It would be cool if you could make a video showing some chords for metal types with tabs.
So bad ass!
Make an album called " The Latest & The Greatest"
Dude, you are so extremely effing proficient. 👍👍👍👍

The gojira bit was a legitimately cool riff
Sounds like the DOOM soundtrack
Shiiiit dude!! Was about to say the same thing!
So doom ost is djent, groove, and synth? Dope as fvck
Maybe I’ll just play this instead while I slay the demon horde.... \m/
Ellis Dutchenberg, pretty much.
YESS
How to open the doors of baddest malignant darkness:
1. buy an 8 string guitar
2. play it
Powerful for real 🤘
1. I did
2. I am
This needs to be my everyday and all day personal soundtrack...I'd get more stuff done!!!! Amazing playing!!
крутяк!!

Jesus christ that bluesy old school metal riff had me headbanging
I like, you really rock on that brother! I play 8 string but not like that. Rock on!
I'm new here and this was amazing. Impossible to not headbang
It's only one guy playing, but sounds like 2 guitars are playing! Extremely talented! My favorite guitarist!
LOL probably because it's double tracked plus it has a bass it's not really magic. Sorry to break it to ya!
Alex I've been listening to you about 3 months now and your riffs and chops are the best there like Gojira mixed with a 55-gallon drum of adrenaline

7 string in drop A such a good option
8 felt weird to me. I got comfortable on a 7 and I think I'm almost ready for an 8. I know that my fingers love 27'+ scale lengths
This godly tone...how did you do it?
Yes you are like a bulldozer. Superb warm atmosphere with Alex on the guitar, I ordered my 8 string legs, you will be my teacher. Sleippnir
funny but also VERY well played and fun to listen. I will check out your album Alex.
I don't agree that this is groove metal but it was, never the less, a good video.
Drunk blues - yay! Please do a dark-djenty-blues song sometime. Really love your take on that!
These are the kind of riff video's I'm looking for.🤘
I know you made it for fun, but you clearly know your shit, and those are some pretty grooving riffs man.

I wish there was a tab for this - there are some chord and parts I cannot grasp. And when I slow it down, it just gets blurry or the camera switches angles lol.
