Beginner 8 String Lesson: Moving Patterns Down to the 8th String.

The song in the intro is Demiurge by Meshuggah. This video is coming from the perspective that you have been playing a 6 string for a little bit and are switching over to an 8 string. It is intended to help you figure out how to move the patterns you already know down to the 7th and 8th strings. I hope it helps!

This was amazing. I recently got myself a 8 string Jackson and these tips are very valuable. Thanks for posting. It will certainly help me with getting to know my modes across eight strings instead of only six. I better get busy. Thanks again.

Thank you! Just got an 8 string recently and this helped a ton.

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for this video! There aren't a lot of people doing this kind of content so as someone that has picked up an 8 string recently, lessons like these are invaluable. It'd be awesome to have more of this type of stuff translating 6 string thinking to 8 string. I'd be happy if you were to do anything else with this subject :) thanks have a great day!

Good to see a new video on your channel! Was wondering what happened to you for awhile.

Are you still giving lessons at Buckdancers?

Just a suggestion:  If you're going to do lessons make sure the guitar audio is clear and loud, and I personally wouldn't put any crazy delay or reverb on, as it can be very distracting.  Gain is okay but again, crazy amounts can be distracting.
