  • This is a portion of the song "CAFO" off of the Animals As Leaders self titled debut (prosthetic records) I'm in standard tuning on a 7 string with the low E string dropped to D. Not as hard as it looks but definitely fun! Give it a shot!

    It aligns the intervals so that my octaves are directly on top of each other. This allows me to tap a root,fifth,octave in one fret as opposed to the 3 fret span i'd have to reach in standard tuning. I don't always tune like this though. 90% the album material is in standard.

      I noticed this logic when I first learned to play it. I fought with it in standard tuning and noticed how much harder it was. De-tuned that string and BAM. Easy-peasy-lemon-avocado…wait…that’s not right…

    What would also work in this composition would be a string damper. Just put a hair tie around the first fret to damp all open strings. In this case You can even move the hair tie to the 4th fret for better damping.

    lol at the end he plays it differently than he explained it. In the explanation the A string got 4 notes and the D string got 5, when he plays it slowly altogether at the end he plays 5 notes on the A string and 4 notes on the D string. It's tough to tell which way it is when he plays it fast, although I think it's 5 on the A and 4 on the D.

    He's always said he played 7's for years before switching over to an 8 so maybe that's a good place to start. At least as far playing extended range guitars. But since there's plenty of 8 string material out there to learn it wouldn't be hard to pick it up and start playing.
