That tone on the sleep token song should be a crime lol
You got some wet spaghetti noodle strings lmao. They floppin. It looks cool, but I am curious as to hoe it did not make the tone sound awful.
My first 8 string riff was combustion by Meshuggah. And it was so damn fun to learn, quite a bit more than demiurge imo
Ya but it definitely gets into intermediate territory loll
I'd consider myself a decently talented guitarist and learning that main Combustion riff was touuuugh
I learned combustion on slap bass first then guitar
entire guitar part being offset by a 16th note doesn't really hit that "for dummies" criterion
"Demiurge" and "Butcher" are not just 2 of my favorite 8 string riffs, but two of my favorite riffs period. Def dig the list
I really wanna buy a 8-string guitar now. It sounds so good.
Dude that rareform album from ATB is 8 string riff heaven. Every riff and song for that matter is fantastic
My first 8 string riff I learned was Lethargica by Meshuggah, it's fairly easy and isn't just chugging on the lowest string
Due to tuning stability and string tension preferences, I’ve wound up at Drop F on my 8 string with my current string set-and I’m stoked to see i’m not the only weirdo who uses that
Literally just ordered my first 8 string 2 days ago. Impeccable timing and great riffs 👍
yup the summoning def made me pick it up again. The Volumes riff so simple yet so filthy love it, Love Bro 🫡
any Vola riff is pretty much perfect for 8 string beginners imo, especially Starburn, Napalm and Stone leaders falling down
I recently learned stone leader, paper wolf and head mounted sideways
Straight Lines is great too😊
Stone Leader Falling Down is a mean riff I love that song
VOLA is great. I like head mounted sideway. It’s not inherently 8 string but imo makes it easier
Thank you for this tutorial. After 6 years of owning 8 string I can finally play a song
This was a great list even as someone who's not new to 8 strings. Fun stuff, dude. My first 8 string riffs were Meshuggah - Rational Gaze and Vola - Alien Shivers.
siiiiiiiiiiick riffs. Nocturnal Bass sounds killer too.
All Essentials 8 String Songs
1:10 You've Seen The Butcher by Deftones
1:44 Stranger Things by Periphery
2:12 Demiurge by Meshuggah (🌮 De Pechuggah con Lechuggah)
2:35 Aspiration by After The Burial
3:02 Bitter Pill by The Acacia Strain
3:34 The Mixture by Volumes
3:51 Wave of Babies by Animals As Leaders (🤘🤣🤘)
4:27 Devoid by Carcosa
4:51 Bleeding Sun by Chelsea Grin
5:06 The Summoning by Sleep Token
Went back and forth trying out 7 strings, baritone, even a 7 string baritone guitar and couldn't get into them. First time picking up an 8 string I did a double take and figured what the heck, try it out. Absolutely love it and bought it! So much fun! Sounds so freaking good with a Nobels ODR-1 in front before hitting the amp!
just recently bought an 8 string for christmas and i live it! (its my second guitar i have ever got lmao)
Some Darko riffs would be sick!
9 string though… still could downtune
Hell yeah. Pale Tongue is one of my favorites to play.
The Offering by Sleep Token seems like a fun riff for 8 strings
My personal favorite is Utsu-P's "Harakiri". Dead simple, lots of fun. You kinda gotta be a Vocaloid fan already though haha
that intro had me choking on water
Dude The Mixture is one of my favorite volumes songs made my day 🔥🤘
I don’t know how to play the guitar but I love watching Andrew play and seeing the top string wiggle
Another one would be the main verse riff for Bleed the Future by Archspire.
this is crazy timing, my 8 string is coming in today😭😭😭
Like for Deftones!
Whenever I heare deftones nostalgia hit hard.... there tone man....just got chills lol
The carcosa riff was savage! and maybe not beginner riffs but how about a Fear Factory 8 string riff?
Soul Hacker by Fear Factory is also on an 8 string and not hard to play!
Great song too
@@AlexPhantom1292 Yeah i like that song hahah
Other simple and amazing riffs for 8 string guitar are from "Designing the Enemy", "Metallic Division", "Mechanize" and "Soul Hacker" by FEAR FACTORY 👌🏻
I love the idea of The Acacia Strain and Volumes of tuning up the 8 string instead of downtuning the 7 string.
More range is always nice!
I'd add Monuments' "Origin of Escape". The main riff is really easy to play.
Great playing and super cool tone.
I can't get that tight bass sound.
However I was also expecting the Wave of Babies solo. 😉
I actually just got my first 8 string this past Tuesday! Currently trying to learn Origin Of Escape by Monuments 🤘🏻
I love the whole diamond eyes album
Bro got that 5 star wanted level in the tank
More carcosa tabs please!
Fucking love it dude! Thank you!
My first 8 string riffing was BFG division
Rational gaze is always the go to lol
Just what I needed
Thx
Gotta give some love to Dream Theater with “Awaken the Master”.
great series do more like this!
Volumes is so fucking good
Thanks daddy, great video.
Demi urge is the perfect one to start with 🔥🔥 such a crusher
Really liked the Volumes one!
More people should highlight kevin sherwoods work with the 8 string sadly can't call him begginer though
I SAW THAT NIK NOKTURNAL REFF
I like your video, green man
Also, Diamond Eyes is a ripper in an 8 string. First some I learned when I got my 8 string a month ago
I was introduced to the 8 string by GWAR
my first riff was Another Breath by ingested, honestly wish you made this list while I was still getting used to an 8 string. also thic tone bro (Ps--- do another Spokane show pls🙏)
Fuck I love that Tao-8. i have the 6-string version which is incredible, but I can’t afford another one of those 😭
love that schecter man just wish it wasnt so expensive lol
Lmao BFG Division, that should be in in the next 8 String Riffs For Dummies vid
Its a 9 string song sadly
I just program the tunings on my variax shuriken.
Reminds me I need to get new strings for my 8 string
Even though I don't own an 8 string anymore (I didn't play it enough), I really liked playing Risk by Deftones
Sounds cool.
Great examples ! can't wait for my 8 string to arrive in a few days yay :)
However, is drop E EAEADGBE or EBEADGBE ?
EBEADGBE - just standard tuning with the low F# dropped to E
EBEADGBE :) The only string you change on an 8 string for drop E is the 8th string (from F# to E) and you're all set! Have fun with your new 8!
I literally played You've Seen The Butcher as soon as I opened my 8 haha
I REALLLLLLYYYYY want to get an 8 string!
This is super cool! I have some trouble getting my 8 String tone right. I genuinely need help here. I use a Catalyst amp and a Boss GT-8. Any advice?
Intermediate riffs next?
Should do an 8 string tone video 👀
Check out my video I did on the quad cortex last month - the basics of what I did there apply to basically all pluginsb
What are the best 8-string strings to get for drop E tuning?
I need an 8 string, I don’t think my squier 6 string can handle it anymore
Lethargica fits this list too
i feel like the acacia strain is underappreciated however they use drop tuned 7 strings usually.
They use 7s for Drop G# and such, but their F songs are on 8 strings
oh shoot really? i always tuned my 7 string down. I've also never been able to own an 8 string so I guess I only had that option haha. @@BaenaCarcosa
I've noticed in some newer videos you have changed how you hold your pic... I only notice because you held it how I did, then I learn to hold it 'properly'. Curious if you did the same.. random I know...
I've got my 8 string in Drop F pretty much specifically because of The Acacia Strain. Not sure why but my tones seem to sound better with the low F compared to a low E.
Do you need anything special to tune up? Like thinner strings or something.
@@dwkluka511 I basically just use a light gauge 8 string set, but tuning up with your normal strings should still be okay since Drop F is only a half step up.
I need a 8 string
Acacia strain tuning up isn’t that outta the norm. All shall perish used 7 strings and tuned up to B on price of existence and awaken the dreamers
2:12 DOOM Hunted
Now I just need an 8 string
i feel attacked....😂
You think the band, After the Burial, is a Harry Potter reference
can we get the tabs for all carcosa songs ? :D ♥
Sleep Token-Rain (Tuning Drop A)
how can you play a meshuggah riff on another guitar when you've got the goat 8 string ftm in the back ? :((
My guess is that the riffs that are tuned up were probably written on a 7 string originally
or maybe they dont want to detune a 7 all that way down
@@tfwnoyandere possibly. I know a lot of bands in those styles played 7s in drop G, F#, F before 8 strings became prevalent
meshuggah went an octave below a# on 7s in 2002 but its not fun or practical especially without pitch shifting lol
i luove 8 strings
Aspiration takes me back and bitter pill is just rude
Gracious am I first?
*shits pants*
I'm sorry to be that guy but the first part for Deftones is wrong. Not 7 but 6. Also not 10 but 9 if I remember correctly.
To me it sounded more like a pull off on 7 and 10 than a bend on 6 and 9 but I could be wrong!
Like anyone cares, its just deftones
Check the Carpenter's playthrough !@@BaenaCarcosa
I care, Deftones is the reason I bought my first 8 string.@@garyrsingleton
thank you andrew for this video.
Hello i am a dummy
Hey, me too!
Why no doom soundtrack riff😂🤘
BFG division not here
Cardinal sin
using Drop D# on an 8 string is unholy
welcome to Sleep Token 😂
Nah gotta learn unleash he'll first thing
Ah yes. Just got an 8 string, now learn songs rhat only use 2 or 3 strings max. Jk tood video
You use only 4 string. You can play on bass.
Excuse me volumes and acacia strain wtf. I would never in my life put that amount of faith in a set of strings.
Edit: just had a look and I’m pretty sure the mixture is played on a 7 string, well according to the tab at least, so umm..
Baena what the hell you doing man.
Watch live videos of them playing the song, it’s done on an 8 string
Thumbs down for the 2 minute comercial about nac nucturnal.
Ugh I hate this sound with a passion
That’s sad
then don't listen to it why would anyone care that you specifically don't like it so self centered
