    Not to mention if you can play bass parts on an 8 string, it gives the bass guitar some room to play a solo. So not only are you gaining more musical territory, you’re giving the bassist more room to add to songs!

    I totally agree with you so much on every single point of this vid. I play guitar for over 20 years now and recently bought my first (cheap, yet effective) 8-string multiscale and I hadn't this much fun in playing the guitar in years. Especially since I've seen all the awesome stuff people (like you) do with it besides djenting around. Not that I don't love the djent, but there's so much more to it than just that. The 8-string actually motivated me to dive deeper into music theory, scales, modes, tapping, sweeping and all this stuff that I missed out on for so long. The 8-string saved me from depression, suicidal thoughts, sleeplessness and gave me the stuff that as I can remember only the Cello gave me. So in my opinion you're 100% right. Thumbs up.

    @alecrisser12 3 года назад +2

    What I like most about the 8 string is the fact that I can use all the bass techniques that don't sound as good on regular guitar and all the guitar techniques that don't work well on bass, and I can use these techniques simultaneously. I love slapping it! The thing that annoys me about the 8 string is Djent, which often underutilizes the range and over uses the bass strings, but that's not the guitar's fault. Also, that thing about the string tension is weird, the strings are greater, thicker, and longer on an 8 string putting them under more tension, so you'd think that would make them harder to fret, but I've yet to play a guitar that's easier to fret than my 8 string.

    I'd kill for a course by you specifically for the 8 string guitar!! I've only just had mine for about a year and it has inspired me to practice waaay more so my skills have gotten better overall, but there's just so much new territory to cover!!

    Hey Rob! It would be nice to create a video explaining all the different tunings you use for 8 strings
