Bass/Guitar Hybrid Build Legacy:

[RockStarOscarStern]

Said Too Much Productions You're tuned to a Crunchy Power Chord like the Japanese Shamisen, the Sitar, etc which means you're rocking.

[Gragonith]

as a bouzouki player myself i'd say it sounds really good!! great work!!

[ChristosNikolis]

Glad to see the bouzouki sound transform on the body of an electric guitar. Thank you for sharing your experiment my friend.

[RockStarOscarStern]

The Bouzouki is played with essentially our everyday Guitar pick so they're super easy to find

[rasmusn.e.m]

Another cool three-string tuning is panduri tuning: stuff like G - A - C# and A - C# - E

[RockStarOscarStern]

3:22 OK here's the Normal Tuning. Since the Lowest string is wound in Nickel Plated Steel (like most Electric Guitar and Bass string sets) it responds to the Pickups super well

[RockStarOscarStern]

3:31 Success you have a Power Chord, & it works.

[RockStarOscarStern]

2:09 Actually this instrument is tuned a half step below Standard Tuning so it's Db, Ab, Db which gives it a much darker sound.

[ritualdeathmetal]

4:17 sounds like Opeth's Grand Conjuration

[RockStarOscarStern]

Winding those thin strings on the Bass machine heads actually reminds me of the time you added a 6th String to one of your Ibanez Basses.

[anarkie]

Sounds like King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

[RockStarOscarStern]

1:58 Thankfully we're really only dealing w/ 3 Different gauges so it only took a few seconds to find the Odd man out middle string.

[orbpulsargd]

I'll call this the "Bouzoutar".

[psychamore_]

I was just on your channel 2 mins ago and then I get the notification, lmao

[RockStarOscarStern]

Good thing they only came in 3 Different Gauges so you didn't mix them up at all unlike the Guitarron Strings (The Guitarron is in A Standard below a Guitar's E Tuning w/ only the High A dropped down an Octave because it's played in Octaves on every single note).

[vrai]

The 3 course guitar would be perfect to also experiment with a cuban tres tuning maybe?

I've heard of people in cuba converting american dreadnought guitars into treses by modifying the nut and bridge, so it must work 🤔

[RockStarOscarStern]

@UCQoElgBw4Rb5zI37trQvGZQ
It basically acts like a 6 String 3 Course Chromatic Strum Stick Dulcimer (they're tuned to that Power Chord too) that can play in every key.

[dylaneverhartmusic]

Some of these samples sound really awesome but it's hard to know how much of that is due to the strings and how much is due to the effects/amp

[deathcrab]

i thought i was listening to bedroom pop
