Speaking of doom, why the fuck did all these sweaty nerds play fast triplets as their first instinct? Can they not play any original improvisation on the spot? You have to write to the pitch you are playing in. This is A an octave lower, meshuggah made A# an octave lower work great on the song Spasm. And doom metal would make great use of it. But instead all we hear here is GRRRFLUNKBRKRKRBRKBRKMKMKM
Psyfonify sick of seeing you repost your bullshit comment everywhere. 10 strings throws off your ability to navigate the fretboard so you resort to ur most basic noodling techniques to get a feel.
Tune the lowest 4 strings like a regular e standard bass and the highest 6 in E standard. There, you have 4 string bass and 6 string guitar in one instrument. Lol
10 or 9 strings for clean tone are amazing ( and useful ) not for high gained tone even before invention of electric guitar the acoustic and classic guitars with 10 strings had been common. You can play low strings like bass guitar!

This is why basses are still relevant regardless of the amount of strings. Such low tunings sound incredibly muddy when the strings are that close together. So to get a sound that is even remotely decent you need to mute all other thick strings which makes it very limited and unnecessarily hard to use.

I'd really love to see Charles Caswell try out this thing. Also looking forward to hear some production quality mastered sound from Andrew on this thing.
Most of them banged on the low strings without really exploring the instrument, and all it has to offer. None of them tried fingerstyling. These good folks need to check out Tosin Abasi. Amazing.
@@goteampatrick It’s the fan fretted. I like it a lot. It’s beautiful, and makes people go “WOW!”. I have it tuned to the standard on the first seven strings. Strings 8 to 10 are tuned to the third fret up instead of the fifth. They were so low-sounding, barely audible, that they were useless tuned to the 5th fret. Tuned up, they are more useful. It is a heavy instrument, so have padding on your neck strap. Other than that, I just love it. Cheers! Marcao
I was listening to this through my phone speakers and thought "damn I need my studio headphones, I don't hear a shit except this nasty mud sound"... Well it didn't change much x) At least it was good fun haha!
🤔 I wonder if I could be one of Andrew's guitar buddies if we lived in the same province. I'm from Alberta... I will be in Vancouver on December 1st and 2nd though, if you'd be down, I would love to buy you a coffee!?
I think it would be more interesting trying to make it very clean, with a lot of reverb and delay, and play note to note, an improvised solo with a few chords in between lines. That's where I find >7 strings to shine (I use a 8 string)
Was cool to see this, but I wish it would of been in G# standard or drop f# so then they would of felt more comfortable playing it. Plus drop A can already be played on your 9 string. If I remember right I think Kevin said this has a .130 or something close to that on the 10th string. I know this was already ridiculous playing it as it is. It was cool to see all of your friends play it though.
There are different tunings to this 10 string. The bottom 6 can be standard tuning. Then alternate tuning for the bottom 4 strings which would make sense to other guitarists. Also other harmonics jump out.
This kind of guitar can't be played with a lot of distortion/gain tbh, having the distortion too high will just fuck up the sound for the low strings. Maybe with the gain set to 3 or 4.
scale length needs to increase with the lower tuning. 30 inch wont cut it anymore past drop E, but then you cant have a bass and then call it a guitar.. might as well put guitar pickups into a 10 string single course bass lol
l like it how they say this is dumb, i dont know what to do with it..but then go on too chug out some sick shit aha..doods just play it sounds fine..shame the 10th string is bassy .. my agile 9 sounds nothing like a bass string with the Cepheus PU's (not active)
@@WarframeCrunch 8 strings are already pretty mainstream, while 9-strings remain niche. Probably not for too long though. Ibanez and Schecter make 9-string models, but those have too short a scale and no multi, so your best bet is probably Agile. Wish I had held off a bit more with ordering mine and got a Pendulum with 27-30'' fanned frets - then again the neutral is at the 12th, would be much cooler to have it at the 7th. Octavia are really awesome and high quality, but in very short supply and expensive

What are they scared of they dont tune their instruments and dont know how to set up instruments strings are a non issue for them.
Hanging out with a guitarist from Angelmaker........yeah, no big deal
Vocalist is really active on fb too. They're very approachable dudes, which is cool af.

Dude seems hella chill
Everyone went for the A0, I wanted to hear the g#4 more
The high string is a G#4?! Well that's my high E String snapped..
Now I'm starting to wonder what would Tosin Abasi do with a 10-string guitar
Many many things
I have faith hed do it right lol
Create a black hole.
SO MUCH THUMP
I think he actually used one for one of their albums. I heard that somewhere, not sure if it’s true
Tune the lowest 4 strings like a regular e standard bass and the highest 6 in E standard. There, you have 4 string bass and 6 string guitar in one instrument. Lol
Except it's all gonna go through your guitar amps and tones, so it's going to sound just as bad.
Nehemiah Hughes You could use an aby pedal to switch between bass and guitar amps.
Exactly like the Santucci TrebleBass
If you do that the strings could snap due to the tension

Amen to that. There’s literally no variation in what was just played

That dude looked like a dwarf with a battle axe!
i gotta get myself one of these
I wonder what would happen if you didn't tune it lower than a 7 string. Just have 10 strings inbetween the notes of standard B tuning
Is this the guitar that inspired Mike to use such a low tuning in Rotoscope? 😅
Mike Stringer is so aggressive😂
So the lowest string on this is like if you were to down tune the low B-string on a 5-string bass?
Rusty Cooley..Andy James or Jeff Loomis or maybe Marten Hagstrom and Fredrik Thordendal of Meshuggah should be able to shred on that 10string
It’s the “HOLY SHIT” guitar

Honestly I think you should tune it to standard or something, just so it can actually be played.
This kind of guitar can't be played with a lot of distortion/gain tbh, having the distortion too high will just fuck up the sound for the low strings. Maybe with the gain set to 3 or 4.
Dude why don't you just retune it to standard next time? :P The four low strings are G#C#F#B, then it's the standard 6-string tuning
So...the lowest string is an octave lower than the 8th? Like same e as a bass?
i belive more than a seven string is to muddy i might try a 8 one day but 9 and 10 is a novelty
What if Infant Annihilator and angelmaker tunes down?
Andrew Banner was the only one who came close to picking and palm muting it right.
