Reality is most people go to play bleed, meanwhile I just attempted to learn some periphery, unprocessed and berried alive 8 string riffs. It has not been going well🤣
I played one at a guitar store. I actually went the “expectation” route, because I don’t know any 8 string riffs and I barely touched the bottom string at all lol
The excellent playing in this video is exactly my expectation with one thing to add: a high A string with a multiscale Floyd Rose bridge that can be pulled 100% sharp and the string survives. Used for A E A D G B E A tuning. Why? The ear will be surprised by those dog whistle sweep/taps while the low A2 note keeps the chug going and a bass in A1 fills things out. The kick has room to live in the 0-1 octaves. The range would be huge, especially combined with divebombs and squeals. Great players like blameAlexis would melt faces with a Floyded A to A guitar. But, because a floating multiscale Floyd Rose 8 string bridge does not exist, we are forced to deal with the reality: nearly every extended range guitar is a boring, two humbucker, fix bridged Strat with one volume knob designed for songs with tabs that go 0 1 0 1 0 1. Why? Because of cost and the kids can only play the low strings well so they don't need more options. Most 8 string makers won't even put pickup rings on 7-8 string guitars. This means Seymour Duncan will not make 7-8 string Triple Shot mounting rings to give you more wiring options with your pickups. So for me an 8 string is like a hot date who was just not that fulfilling afterward. But the unrealized fantasy of him/her is amazing.
Absolutely, I’m using the Gojira plugin, and sounds great, even tho I had to tweak the EQ here and there but sounds great for the pickups it has (they’ll be gone soon lmao)
nice playing but your audio interface is telling u thats too much input gain. it should light green not red, u gotta turn it down. also a guestion about how is the quality of legator guitar? ive seen mixed reviews of build quality.
Thank you! It’s not clipping and/or red, it’s purple, I customized it so instead of green turns into purple, (I know, looks red from here so nothing to worry about lmao) and glad you asked, I am making an honest and personal review on this guitar, so stay tuned!
@@patricknelson1471 why? you dont see me hating on metal guitar 6 stringers only using the bottom 4 do you? that never does lead, same thing, ''But uhh man you never use anything else than the bottom strings on an 8 string guitar uhhh* Man shut up with that boomer ass take
When i first bought my 8, i immediately tried Bleed. It did not sound great
Would be lying if I'd say I didn't do the same with my first 7 string
most of us can admit we immediately tried Bleed. and most of us can admit it sounded like a car tryna start up in -20 degree weather
Reality >> Expectation 🤷🏻
Valid 🤷♂

When I got my 8 string 4 years ago. I played Korn on it before going “chug chug” 😂
goes hard
Damn straight outta the gate with blistering alternate picking. Nice work, you impressed me 🙏
Guilty as charged
the riff of the expectation remembers me to an archspire song

Nailed it. Literally happened to me, it could happen to you too.
I mean to be fair, if you use Fortin Nameless or any decent plugin, even 0's can sound really good on the ear lmao.
