+Josh Johnstun What the heck do you mean by props?

+mantovannni props means respect.

Jacek Leja Ahhh ty for that, new terms pop up all the time, it's hard to keep up with it sometimes.

+TehBrackShiip Anything's new for anybody unaware of something.

You rarely see people who play 9 strings that know what is below the low b string these days.

+leftyguitarjoe Yes! I love his work.

where can I find more?

bobby rock Wesley Belmont on YT.

I'd be giving him the middle finger because he's nothing but a hack wannabe.

+colby shane So true!

+colby shane 9 strings are tuned identical to that of an 8 string where the standard tuning is F# B E A D G B E but above the F# for the 8 string the 9th is a C#

I know kris schubert​ lol I'm saying I have a rough time with scales on a 7 haha much less adding 2 more strings

+colby shane i find 8 ' s to be very comfy a bit of a flatter neck too. and that's with my ibanez

Fair point, these pickups just don't give the clarity needed in the low end. I think bare knuckle make 9 string pickups (Not a 9 string player so i'm not sure), which would of sounded so much cleaner :)

+Tim Crouch I did see a video with the bkp's, to me sounded far better (just opinion)

+Dacaisen J it is very difficult to achieve the same string definition and separation that one might be used to in a player that does not use a pick and play this style of music. interesting song but sometimes there is just mud. again, not a very easy task to achieve in an electric guitar, specially a 9 string one. anyway, great job and kudos to david.

Not criticising him he did an amazing job

I agree, Dimarzio makes a 9 string D-activator and it would be much better. But also i feel it has more to do with his amp and guitar. Agile is famous for a real thin tone that sounds like tin. And his tone is trying to compensate for the low end to get clarity and snappyness but it has so much fucking treble and mid it's unbearable. I tried liking this dude cause i appreciate his creativity but he needs to dial it down. And by "it" i mean his tone and playing. He is skilled but he goes all over the place and his tone doesn't help his wild songwriting. But i still stand by what i said about liking his creativity because i do, it's interesting and unique. And he has fun it seems too which is most important

+Derek Charette they are both guitars you fucking droolie lol.

+Derek Charette you just don't get what he was actually trying to say? stop and think for a sec before cursing out.

+Derek Charette It's a guitar he's using primarily bass techniques to play

He definitely didn't skip leg day

And now he comes to yoga as well!

I think 9 string standart-tuning ist c#

kind of redundant

lol!

not understanding why it's idiotic..

2046: distorted electric harmonica loaded with EMGs!!!

+01firefingers Ibanez had production 7 strings out in 1992...

Are you willing to limit yourself because you're Intimidated? It's 2021 and loads of heavier and technical bands use 7 to 9 string guitars. Goes to show how badly your comment has aged

i agree

Don't get scared : )

Aaaaagh! Why is he torturing that poor guitar!!!! This is FUCKING AWFUL!!!!

Carl Taylor yeah! rob scallon could make some beautiful music with that guitar but nooooooooo we gotta give it to this weed head

It's called different genres and taste ya muppet.

+Renny The tone is a bit much, but I'm impressed. He's using like the full range of the strings, great finger picking, multiple rhythms and melodies, perfectly in time with his song. There's actually a lot to like here.

+Ocean Sage My thoughts exactly. The music isn't my cup of tea, but I'm impressed with his skills and diversity.

+SakustoMusic97 Well sir, you got me. I am arrogant and that other thing you've just called me. To answer your question, I am also a listener, therefore a consumer of the music, albeit not the target one for this musician. That I guess gives me all the rights to label things I hear as "good", "bad" or "BS" from a listener point of view. Ones again, kudos to the guy for pushing the boundaries, but to much is to much.

+Derek Charette The point you're missing here is that musical taste is subjective. If someone finds enjoyment and joy in listening, writing or playing ''jerking off on the guitar'' is he wrong? Stuff like technical playing ability isn't really debatable and we all are allowed to have our opinions on music, but the problem is you are stating your opinion as a fact. There is in fact a structure, melody, harmony etc. in this song, you just have to listen to it again without preconceptions. You don't have to like the song, but denying its value as music is the thing that caught my eye! Btw, no point in getting into personal insults like "ear-gauged filthy hippie", I thought music was about the music, not looks.

+Sasha Tromsa Listen to Merzbow's "Pulse Demon" and come back and tell us this again.

+techdeathcurator Yeah but this is an extreme example. I don't know if you can really compare that with what is being said. I may not care for the music in this video or the style used to play it but it is still music and it still fits the tastes of certain people. This music also adheres to basic principals of music where pulse demon is really not music it is more like an audible expression of "art" because there is no musical structure involved in it.

Corpsecrank Who's to say how one defines music? Just because you aren't able to fit noise under your musical belt doesn't mean that it suddenly invalidates it as music for others. Also listen to Vomir.

You should listen with yours

Well that's what i do with my ears... no need to remind me for what they are for

True

+Hank Hill I for one think they are great, very comfortable, may not have the best QC, but in my opinion the 827 neck is the most comfortable neck in its price range.

Go fuck a bottle of propane.

Hard to find a tone that does justice to both the high and low registers while keeping everything clear.

+TightyWhities94 Him using finger style isn't helping much either

+TightyWhities94 It's all about personal preference. For example, you guys don't like the sound, I love it. It's kinda unique. I also love his use of mostly just his fingers.
