    Pretty cool. And a heck of a lot easier than it sounds. Level 7 and you're just learning to chug..... Been playing 43 years, but old metal, not Nu. Got an ESP LTD MH-17, a Gstyle 7 string strat, A Bexgear 7 string (kit build), an Iron Horse 7 string multiscale, a Gstyle 8 string strat, and an Ibanez 8 string multiscale. Gimme a week or two to dust off the rust (I build guitars more than I play nowadays), and a couple more weeks to move through the levels, and I could probably be there. That's one cool thing about guitar, the more you learn, the easier it is to learn more. I've never got into Nu metal before because I always considered alternate tunings to be "cheating", and found getting good sound from standard tuning to be a more worthy challenge. Nowadays I'm less of an uptight purist about things. With the rise in popularity of alternate tunings, I found its just as easy to write bad music regardless of tuning used. So now I no longer blame alternate tunings for bad songwriting.

    Just starting 8-String... would love to have a way to see the chords spelled out or tab on some thing. Dissonant chords just wizz by. All the low D string stuff is easy enough to follow as is the octave. When on lowest strings you hand seems to be on a bar chord, is that stop ringing or do you string the chord?
