Wow that demo track was really interesting and unique, especially with that top line, cool song!
Damn! This demo track hit me hard! You are absolutely awesome.
Just signed up to your patreon and feel much better now! Your music, stuff, sound are astonishing!
P.S. Haha, I'm first in patron list at the ending of the video))
Man, that clip from 9:35 to 9:57 is so good ! This for me is your signature style of playing, I love the musicality of it, it's really fluid and would lead so well to a chorus. Awesome playing !
Thanks so much!
Thanks for the review bud!
I have the 7 string Amarok and absolutely love it !
Imma buy that one🤔👌
I got one exactly like that today. Beautiful... I've never played a baritone. I have no experience with alternative tuning. So, now the adventure begins! Thanks for the video.
i really dig your guitar chops mayne.
You have the perfect ear for tone bro. Nice vid
nice playing bro
I share your enthusiasm about the EMG retroactives, they do feel/sound amazing (close to SD 59s to my ears but on steroids)... I just wish they were splittable!
From what I've seen the bridge IS made by Hipshot, or at least a subsidiary of Hipshot. Great Playing bro.
Die emgs sind auch echt super.
I have the green one so sick
Dude! You are awesome! Im jelious 😅
Hi, I also recently purchased a Harley Benton guitar, specifically a Harley Benton CST-24 B stock. This is an incredibly well made guitar for the price. Stainless steel frets, wilkinson tremolo, graphite zero fret.
The pickups are from their company Roswell, but they sound great too, and they have push pull.
I got the black CST24, on my collection is one of the better guitars and costs a fifth of the most expensive one I got 😂😂
Compared with PRS SE's and 2.2k "authentic" gibson Les Paul of my friends, it is objectively a better guitar and finished at a higher standard, it's unreal what HB has done.
great review! you are tuned in drop G, what gauges did you used? did you keep 13-62? thanks
I hope you can review something like a budget 7-8 string multiscale guitar, maybe headless. I really wanted an 8 for a while now. And i feel like a multiscale is a way to go for proper high string tension (im more of a lead player)
I liked the Chapman ML1 Pro Baritone more :) I got this guitar because of you. But now, my girlfriend has it most of the time 🤣 And I got a super inexpensive Chapman ML1 Rainstorm Blue Baritone from Ebay Kleinanzeigen for myself 😁 The Pro is more gorgeous and nicer to play, with the stainless steel frets, but the pickups of the Rainstorm Baritone seem to fit me better.
new here id like to try the 7 string
Hi Milian, have you seen the boss SL2 slicer ? I wish i could hear you explore with it and the rabea massad synth dsp thing 🙏
Yeah I've seen it on McRocklin's channel and I loved it! Hope to be able to check it out soon :)
Hey man COMPLETELY off topic lol but do you remember where you got the veneer for the 7 strinf Ibanez you refinished?
Yeah I got that off eBay, but I don't remember the seller!
sounds sick! I want the same sound... what is your tuning and strings gauges ? is it drop F#?
he said drop G on his response on my comment
I love the sound of a bari guitar, but I'm wondering if I'm setting myself up for issues wanting to learn on it (as opposed to a "normal" electric guitar).
unfortunately there's no a place here in peru to buy it :(
You ever listen to beast in black? I feel like that would be something you'd like.
If only they made a 7 string 27" baritone or at least an Indonesian made multiscale ...the Amarok 7 is 25.5", which is a no no on a 7 string imo and they have no interrst in expanding their lineup
Cool :) 2 questions if you will have a minute:
1) Does this guitar's absence of armrest contour also creates an uncomfortable angle for your right hand?
2) What is better for tunings Eb->C: Amarok-6 or Amarok-BT (intonation range, setup, strings, sound and comfort). I already have 28" for B and lower :)
Thank you in advance!
i have the non bari and the cutaway makes it comfortable to me. the non bari will be fine for e flat to c, i play it in c.
something I'd like to see your opinions and review on is a Solar guitar, the brand has been all the internet hype for a solid 5 years now (since it was founded basically)
It's seriously a shame I never got to try one in these 5 years! I've been reaching out to Solar long ago, Ola was down to send me one back then but there was no press guitars available. Haven't asked ever since!
@@MilianMalivukMusic I mean its no secret that most stuff gets build in the same factorys so if you played 1000 series LTD or indonesian Ibanez guitars you ll understand how they play. That said I love mine and I dont have any issues with the frets and fretboard which are the major complaints the brand gets, I thought it was a bit weird that they used the evertune as the ground ,but it works and you dont see it anyways.
Are you sure that you can split the retro actives? To my knowlege only the emg TW are splitable
Now that you say it, I don't think you can coil split them unfortunately.
How much mixing u ve done on the intro song?
Light EQ and compression but not much - if you mean the guitars.
Cool mixing, damn, how do you do that? vst ?
Dear lord, that tone in that intro riff is CWISPY 🤌 Solid work as usual dude! Definitely been dying for one of these for awhile now, just may have to treat myself for Christmas 😎
what petition must we sign so you will get rid of that mustache?
I second that motion😂
Damn... now you got me super paranoid about the guitar I'm waiting to get from Thomann. I hate that they can't tell you what the defect of the B-stock is before you actually receive it.
On another note, why do you say you prefer a baritone 6-string over a multiscale or a 7-string?
I'm sure yours will arrive just fine! Maybe the got this issue sorted by now, it's been 6 months now after all. It's pretty annoying they don't state the actual problem with the item, but they always guarantee full functionality. I get most of my gear as b-stock if I can't find it used.
About the baritone, I just shifted towards 6-strings about 5 years ago and just stuck with them, but I still love low tunings, so the baritone is the right choice for me. I still have my Carvin but I don't play it at all anymore, quite unfortunate but I can't sell it.
I saw a post about HB Bstock guitars and literally everyone in the comments said they couldn't tell why it was Bstock. 🤷
Damn son! Those fret ends are fugly. Seems like a sweet axe though. 🤘🏼💀
may i know which legendary pickups model it is?
The guitar now has the Siren set in it (check my latest video)
Could a kind person help me understand something? I see on Thomann they have Amarok BT, Amarok 6 and they are both priced very similarly. Is there a preference for a beginner? Also, I see there's the Fusion III Roasted EMG which I love the looks of and has EMG pickups and also a bit cheaper.
Between the three is there a solid recommendation? Thanks in advance for anyone helping out.
The BT Amarok is this one, it's a baritone. It has a longer scale length and is designed for lower tunings. The Amarok 6 is a "normal" guitar, like the Fusion. If you mean the Black Fusion III with a hardtail bridge, I would say the guitars are pretty similar and it's up to you to choose which one you like. They differ in construction type (neck-though vs bolt-on 1-piece neck) but they should both perform great in rock and metal situations!
Hope this helps.
@@MilianMalivukMusicThank you. I'll admit that I lacked the knowledge of what baritone is and I simply thought the "BT" was simply one of their models. In that case a baritone is definitely not for me. So it's either Amarok 6 or the Black Fusion III. I'm an absolute beginner and the music range I'd like to play is very diverse. But the black Fusion III and Amarok guitars simply looks very good lol. If I may ask just another question, let's say I get the regular Fusion III Roasted neck with HH and Floyd Rose 1000, would the FR be more trouble than its worth for a total beginner? I nearly purchased the Fusion III HH FR in Cherry color until I read that a guitar with FR is a bad idea for a beginner especially is it's their only guitar.
Hi! Do you think this guitar would Stay in tune if played in Drop #G tuning?
Yes, I have it in drop F now ;)
@@MilianMalivukMusic Awesome!
@@MilianMalivukMusic mine is drop G, but I had to change the saddle bridge screws for longer ones. Otherwise impossible to adjust intonation. Was it the same for you?
It's a bit sad that they cheaped out on consecutive production lines. From Graphtech and Grover to graphite nut (if it's even that). They should also add proper statements regarding why someyhing is B-stock. They offer some Solars are listed as having graphite nuts, but after asking the support, they confirmed that they are all pps
on what tuning are you on? sounds sick!!!
Drop G!
@@MilianMalivukMusic thanks! I love your playing style too!
Which colour is this model? :)
Black Flame Burst!
@@MilianMalivukMusic thanks! Looks niceeeee!
I don't think the nut is graphite, it has a scratch on it that reminds me more of plastic.
I could be wrong, but I think graphite nut are really hard.
They say it's graphite on the website, just checked again.
What are you playing over?
I have the same guitar and it's to thin in my opinion for metal
Do you mean the song? It's my original music.
@@MilianMalivukMusic no over what signal chain

I love this guitar. Paid for a used one, which is like a new one, only € 280. Better than my Ibanez for € 800.
Dude I owned an RGIB6 that was just over $800. I've owned plenty of less expensive guitars that I liked more. I traded it for an Rgdix6 (which is a little more $$) but, I don't regret it at all.
if they release this as a 7 string I will have no other option then to buy it
They ready have a 7 string version! I think it's 25.5" though 🤔
@@billyturk8117 yeah F# or lower on 25,5 will be tricky with the tuning of course I could get another evertune guitar but I just want my next to be simple so fixed bridge and 26,5 to like 28 inch scale lenght.
@@l.sch.7545 Ibanez RGD are all 26.5". I think 28" would be the way to go.I have the RGDIX6, holds G really well and I have the RGIB6(28") in drop F. Ibanez also has the RGXL 7 string which is 27".
@@billyturk8117 I ll take a look but there re just so many guitars out there that I will have to wait till I find the one that just feels right (this also applies to everything matirialistic). Also I m certainly not good enough with 6 strings or less that would warrant buying a seven string.
my amarok came with the benton tuners and they are RUBBISH. gotoh are too short and don't fit so i'll need to find some others that fit.
