    My first 8 string riff was combustion by Meshuggah. And it was so damn fun to learn, quite a bit more than demiurge imo

  • @Mr.Goldbar

    I love the idea of The Acacia Strain and Volumes of tuning up the 8 string instead of downtuning the 7 string.

    Went back and forth trying out 7 strings, baritone, even a 7 string baritone guitar and couldn't get into them. First time picking up an 8 string I did a double take and figured what the heck, try it out. Absolutely love it and bought it! So much fun! Sounds so freaking good with a Nobels ODR-1 in front before hitting the amp!

    @Maddogg-hg5me Месяц назад

    The intro riff for the title track from Diamond Eyes is also really simple yet really heavy. I built an 8-string out of a kit I ordered just for shits and giggles and it's definitely more toy than tool for me at this point but I find it fun to mess around with Meshuggah and newer Deftones riffs.
