    Best thumping tutorial I've seen. Thank you so much. If you don't also play some violin, you might enjoy giving it a try...you'll grasp the mechanics quicker than anyone because of your insights into how the body helps to make your sound. Thanks again brother -

      Thanks! Glad it was useful for you. I would love to try violin if I got my hands on one. It definitely helps to have a general understanding of the mechanics for learning stuff when picking up similar hobbies.
      All the best

      @@eightmetalstrings Using my thumb for the thumping. I was doing it unconsciously. And knuckling properly for plucking with my other fingers. Other videos never talked about it, so I could never figure out where my issues were. I mostly thump on bass, so these insights actually helped me with bass.

    and what about right hand muting

    • @eightmetalstrings
      @eightmetalstrings  23 дні тому

      I wouldn't say it's impossible if you absolutely need to do some muting and there is no other way, but for me it's not worth the effort and pain in the wrist. I also don't see really anyone else doing it.
      If you need to do some muting, I recommend checking out muting techniques of bass players that have been tried and tested for decades where you use your left hand fingers to lightly touch the strings right next to the fretted note.
      Hope that helps!

    What would be and good eight 8 string guitar for beginners and like clean tones and chords

    • @eightmetalstrings
      @eightmetalstrings  4 місяці тому

      I guess that really depends on your price point. There are very few 8-strings under $1000 (cad) from what I can tell. What price are you looking for?

      I'm new to the 8 string party as well. If you want cleans, check into Rob Scallon's signature C-8 by Schecter. That guitar is what really got me interested in getting an 8 string to begin with. I've seen them used for around $1200. I almost got one, but went with their MS SLS Evil Twin, which is a more "metal" C-8 version. Rob's vid on his signatures: ua-cam.com/video/-H_E8MGTHiY/v-deo.html
