Do you think 8 strings are cool or is it better with regular down tuning? :)
I think it depends, both can be amazing for what you play, either way I’m happy, but I’m simple minded, so seven I can just about manage haha keep doing amazing stuff Pete! :)
yes
8
Down tune a baritone 6 string. Only so I don't have to think too hard about scales.
I write music far better on a down tuned 6 string. Whether that's from familiarity or personal taste I'm unsure.
Sounds savage! But leave some frequencies for us bassists please 🤣🤣
Never! Tune low, chug slow. Haha :)
@@peteplaysmusic mwhahaha alright I'll have to tune up then 😅🤘
I mean, the whole point of mixing 8 string guitars is to be in the same note range but totally different frequency field as the bass.
Boost mids, scoop lows
Nah, sounds totally different.
Man that tone is sick for such a thick gauge string.
Thanks! :)
That was f****no brutal and insane Pete ,awesome work dude !!!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏
Thanks! :)
How thick is that string?
It's a 74, I think :)
👌🏼
Hell yeah pete man do you have metal backing tracks for your subscribers to play with?
If you a Patron on Patreon I have backing tracks for all my songs. This will be on my Patreon tomorrow afternoon :)
NOT JUST NOISE
naw, you dont need them
I do need 8 strings lmfao
What I do isnt 101011100011100110101010010010101001
It’s all personal preference, if you want to use all the range that’s awesome. If you want to chug on the low string, that’s awesome too :)
@@peteplaysmusic do I love mindless chuggy songs? sometimes
do I love insane tech songs? sometimes as well!
agreed
I really like the mix 'n' riffs! Feels like watching old Rob Scallon (and I mean that as a compliment of course).
Thanks! That is absolutely a compliment, Rob is awesome :)
Got some Mick Gordon Doom vibes from the riff around a minute in! Such groove much wow
Thanks! Love Mick Gordon, he's awesome! :)
I personally love the sound of 8 string guitars, I feel like it has much greater dynamics over the range. Gotta love just using the fat string though haha
Haha! Yeah, 8 strings are cool. First thing every guitar player does with an 8 string? Chug on the lowest string :)
Pete proving once again why he is the riff master of RUclips!
I try my best haha! :)
Sounds like a level of Doom. Very nice!
Thanks! I actually based the song structure on Mick Gordons riffs. Dude is awesome! :)
Why don't you just play a bass
Why don't YOU play a bass!?! :)
this gives me shovel vibes :D
Haha! Maybe I can borrow it from Rob :)
Taking me back to classic Rob Scallon days ❤️
Love that dude! :)
it's not about how many strings you have, it's about the notes you play.
I 100% agree :)
It's what you do with them.
I can't imagine how weird that must feel without all the strings there lol I've busted a single string on stage before and was at a total loss for feel even though I didn't really need it
It took a little getting used to at first but then it felt totally normal, kinda cool experiment haha :)
Soooo, how I normally play my 6-String in Drop A then? That was sick. I'd like to retrofit with a 7-8 String set one day, just to get lower without switching to my bass.
What scale length is your guitar? Switching to an 8 string set would probably need some modifications to the guitar. :)
Mick Gordon has entered the chat lol
Awesome stuff!
What was the move above the nut? Was that just a different bend or something else?
Yeah that was a behind the nut bend, so it kinda sounds like a whammy bar. Also, I'd love it if Mick Gordon entered the chat. That dude is awesome :)
@@peteplaysmusic you should get with geoffplaysguitar, the dude has MG down... To the point where I think he might actually have Mick tied up in his basement.
But a colab between you two would be phenomenal!
That’d be awesome, I’d love that :)
Who needs an 8 string when you got guitar with a scale length of 30 inches
Vildhjarta is all the proof you need.
You have more talent on one string of a guitar then I do with 6. Awesome work! 🤘🏻
Thanks! This wasn’t as easy as I thought though, still challenging but in a different way :)
My man is fretting strings that don’t exist lmaoooo
I see you muting those missing strings!! \m/
Force of habit haha :)
*Brushy one string has entered the chat*
Pete doing more with one string than 95% of all djent guitarists playing with 8. 3000 IQ talent. Thank you for another awesome song!
Thanks! :)
uhm... nothing special...
@@k4shey Most djent music is nothing special. This at least had some musicality. That's what makes Pete a great player is his ability to serve a song even though he can play just as well as many other more flashy players.
I agree. 100%.
Actually true.
The alternative form of string skipping. Just skip putting them on in the first place.
Pro strats haha! :)
The fact that I just bought an 8 strings and this shows on my RUclips page😐
It knows haha! Thanks for watching :)
This is exactly why I am back to 6 string baritone
I’d think I’d hate the idea of a 6 string baritone haha, it personal preference though. 7 strings where it’s at for me :)
The irony of using an 8 string for this is gold
Thickest, most lowest tuned string I could find haha :)
When you're down to this, you've got to look deep within and come out... you're a closet bassist🤣🤣! Gimme screaming harmonics, high reaching melodic runs!
Don't buy an 8 string, buy a cheap octaver pedal. Or a free plugin. xd
But now i can’t do funny Thall bend :(
I’m not familiar with the Thall bend. I will consult with Andrew Baena’s haha :)
came for the joke, stayed for the music
Thanks for watching! :)
The return of the djent-stick ! Love it !
Gotta love the Djent Stick :)
Personally, I would just get a 7-string and tune it to F# or drop E. That way, I can still play some of the lower Deftones songs with it.
Is this death rock?
You mean like Death Metal + Rock? I guess so, I was going for a Mick Gordon vibe with the song :)
You should do lump by presidents of united states of America djent cover
oh we know we dont need 8 strings, we just want them for a e s t h e t i c
They do look cool haha :)
You don't need a 6 string because I've seen people do well on 5 string guitars and electric banjos
Okay, but meshuggah
Meshuggah are the benchmark for 8 string guitar, basically unmatched (also one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen). Trying to play one of their songs on one string would be really tricky haha.
you don't even need talent when playing modern metal
Dude stop doing pushups your bicep is taking too much of screen
What about a 0 string guitar? They play great totally underated
Is that a challenge? Is a 0 string guitar possible 😜
@@peteplaysmusic it is possible, you didnt saw that thing with a touchpad instead of strings? Very back in the day there was also a laser harp and violin
A one string guitar, I might even be able to learn that (maybe not though).
So what your saying is buy a 8 string, but only use the top string.
I realized that i dont need 8 strings after tuning my 7 string to drop D1. high D is useless for me lol
I guess it’s more about what you do with the lower tuning than how you get the lower tuning, it’s all personal preference really :)
DGent yeah ok that was so 2018! LOL
good song...!!!!
Thanks! :)
Why don't you play bass instead?
I think you need to get yourself a custom Krappy guitar made.
No way, there’s a guitar company called Krappy guitars? :)
Modern bands be like: 8+ strings, 0 ideas, 100% derivative. I can't distinguish them on playlists anymore. It's mostly the same 0-0-0-0-0-0 dj0nt and core shit with lyrics as flowchart as the music. And drop C still sounds better than drop Z
I agree to an extent but all music can sound derivative and similar after a while, regardless of genre, tuning, number of strings etc.
I don’t even hear any notes. Lol
Damn Pete! This sounds like something from the DOOM soundtrack, awesome \m/
Thanks! I was kinda going for a Doom vibe with this. Love that soundtrack :)
2 Truss Rods 1 String
This is exactly how most people play 8 string guitars anyway ^^
I think we play 8 strings like this every now and then haha :)
Now just use the higher one
You know for comparison
Reminds me of Meshuggah on shovel!!!…🤙😎🤘
Those videos were awesome haha :)
We already got 9 strings; now we just wait for the 10 strings bass-guitar hybrid
Agile make a 10 string, it’s wild haha :)
Well yeah, I could take one string a put in on a 8 foot neck and wouldn't need 8 strings either. Doenst mean I dont want a 7 string just for the hell for it.
Absolutely, 7 strings are my preference too. I’m just having some fun here cos let’s face it, a lot of us chug on that low string haha :)
the metalhead cousin of Brushy One String
Haha!🤘
As you leave the lowest string on an 8 string lol
(Great playing though mate 🤘)
Thickest string I could find, also I thought it would look cool haha :)
Nice strategy to link othe old videso. I'll take note...
Yep, directing people to just one video seems to work well :)
Djent Stick
It is kinda like a Djent Stick now haha :)
hehe 😇
that's why 30 inch 6 strings guitars getting popular right know
Baritones definitely aren’t for me, but I can understand why people like them so much haha :)
😪 ᑭᖇOᗰOᔕᗰ
1 string surf board djent-O-matic
Lol I should get one of those too! :)
Reminds me of Jared Dines Djent Stick days
The good old Djent Stick! :)
Now just use the higher one
You know for comparison
Haha, I kinda already did a video on this. I used something called Inside Out tuning so the guitar was strung kinda backwards with the high E as the main string. It was weird :)
no
Two most underutilized truss rods known to mankind
Hahaha! It looks cool though :)
This fucks. Solid tone bro
Thanks! :)
I mean if you dont use the extended range, thats on you boss.
I do like extended range, although 8 is a bit too much for me. 7 is my favourite personally :)
This is the best Song Meshuggah never released !
Haha, I will take that as a compliment! :)
Metal version of a diddly bow. Nice
Haha, I guess it is! :)
You can play this on one string and I still wont be able to play it lmao.
It was still kinda tricky on 1 string. Bends behind the nut but also bending the 24th fret, it gets kinda crazy haha! :)
Other 7 are for holding the neck in proper shape.
I’ve seen talk of necks warping and going out of shape before but I’ve never once seen it or experienced it and I think there’s a lot of misunderstanding about the topic. In general, necks will be fine without strings/tension providing they aren’t damaged etc :)
When are we getting the Rob Scallon collab?
I’ve collabed with Rob multiple times already over on his channel. We did Djenty Metal Town and Progressive Metal Town videos and I’ve also done some editing/mixing for him :)
that doubled truss rods tho
It’s a beefy neck haha. Not sure if it actually needs two true rods but it looks cool! :)
I just recieved my for 11 string
That’s about 90% extra guitar right there haha! :)
This was proof why I need 8, lol
Absolutely, it’s all personal preference. I’m just having some fun here haha :)
Very impressive. Now do it with shovel.
I only have a spoon guitar, will that do? Haha :)
@@peteplaysmusic A galactic senator once said...
DEW IT
You dont need an 8 string; just an 8th string
Haha :)
What pickups are in that guitar?
Bare Knuckle Pain Killer in the Bridge position :)
Basically a Mick Gordon song
Yes :)
So even on a 6 string I never play in standard tuning, so I got into the baritone market and grabbed a super cheap OLP (Sterling basically) MM5, which is a 6 string 29.75" scale baritone, and I sold my Kiesel 8 string because I just stopped playing it lol. Baritone is life. You don't need that many strings if you're really gonna go for the CHUG.
U stil do get 2 octaves that way after all
Yep, a lot of 8 string bands actually use pitch shifting FX too so they can get even higher/lower too :)
Still surprised no youtuber came with a djent guitar which is literally one string and the neck is also very small too since it only has one string, just for the memes
How did you guess my new signature model Djent stick? 😜
@@peteplaysmusic i would buy it 100%
*sees title
*angry scallon noises
Haha. I actually can'y wait to try Rob's new Schecter 8 string. It looks pretty awesome with the fan fret :)
I keep meaning to try making a djent stick. I have a few ideas to make a pretty nice yet affordable one, inspired by the Atlansia Solitaire.
Go for it! :)
@@peteplaysmusic Lol aye, I should. Its one of those things I keep meaning to do, but always wind up spending my money elsewhere. Its not even a hard project either. Especially since you can buy single string headless bridges for pretty cheap on ebay. Way better than most djent sticks that have some diy monstrosity for a bridge going onto an awkward looking single machine head. Headless is the way imo.
@@RainMakeR_Workshop great idea!
I am thinking about mutilating a short scale bass to turn it into a 6 string headless baritone for some time now.
No headstock, cut the body to new shape, install active guitar electronics and boom!
@RobScallon made a djent stick out of a shovel 🤔
I also made a Djent stick, kinda? I used a wooden spoon and Cigar Box Guitar pickup. It’s really hard to play lol: ruclips.net/video/qimapRTZSsw/видео.html
0:56 was beautiful
Thanks! :)
The new 1 string comes out in august lol pete signature, worlds first
How did you find out this top secret information!?!? 😜
@@peteplaysmusic opps, sorry man. Shh i wont tell anyone else 😉
Taaaaaaaabs please O:
Tabs for this are on my Patreon, link is in the description :)
Play a chord..........🤣. Friggin dope, man 🤟
It’s a single note chord haha :)
It's still an 8 string guitar.. just missing 7 strings.
It is indeed but you get the idea :)
@@peteplaysmusic I do, I love your videos dude, and I love my Jackson 8 strings.. we all need an 8 string in our rig. Keep up the awesome work Pete. Here's me using all strings.. lol..
ruclips.net/video/0H7bvUm17LI/видео.html
I'm really glad i just got my first 8 string guitar. That is one string that isn't on it. I went one up and one down then tuned down 1 full stop. So my low and high is A and G. Love it! I'm thinking of making this guitar fretless like my other ones. :)
why does it remind me of a riff thornhill would play
Do they use only the lowest string too haha? :)
@@peteplaysmusic in the rhythmic and sound kind of way, if that makes any sense
I'm happy to see an Agile guitar lol
They used to be everywhere but are kind of less seen these days. They’re still going I think and have some cool guitars :)
@@peteplaysmusic i really, really want a Geodesic. Never played a headless, but the Geodesic is a sexy guitar lol
