This was a great demo, imo. I recently played a 9 string for the first time at my local guitar center. I'm not really into djent tho. I enjoy tech death and doom/sludge. I thought the overall timbre of the lower strings was perfect for "Primitive Man" style riffage. There are also many alternate/open tuning options that can be utilized with these guitars as well. Anyway, sorry for the long comment, but this really is a cool instrument in my eyes. Appreciate you taking the time and effort to showcase some of it's capabilities through your abilities. Keep up the passion!👊🤟
@@RU-vid_gets_dumber_each_year thank you so much! I more prefer tech deth style riffs too. But 8 and 9 strings are supposed to play this "cave man" stupid (but fun) riffs
@@horstvazinksi3408 ok, but if need 6 standard strings and want to expand my low range for extra low riffs in my songs? Here it is. You get 6 string guitar with expanded dynamic range for low solutions
@@stringsofevil You make a good point in that sense. But let's be honest. 9 strings is just feels out of place. What's the bass doing? What octave is it going to? It's hard enough to compete with an 8 string. I think it's a fair limit. A 7 string guitar and a 5 string bass is 12 strings. Both guys working two different riffs at the same time gives way more range dynamics. One guy doesn't need to do it all. That being said, the riff you played was pretty sic tho. 🤘
@@gredangeo Thank you! But anyway bass is necessary should be in mix even if you play on 9 string. I mean, 9th string is not so lower as bass guitar. Yeah, 9th string it little bit too much for many types of riffs because it unreadable sometimes at fast detailed riffs. But it great for heavy slow riffs like breakdowns and etc.
@@gredangeo bass in context against 9 strings is still valid. Bass handles low end, bolstering certain notes, whereas the 9 string is just low notes being pushed through these gain structures that are more focused on mids and highs. There's a really special dynamic in playing an obscenely low note through the right gainy amp, makes the amp distort in ways you just don't get with a more standard tuning.
All about context man. If you write a riff that's sick in the 8 strig range and then you just need that extra push of horribleness for a section that's extra heavy then the 9th string can be your friend.
