Anchor (8 string song) - Rob Scallon

Anchor EP (Tour Edition) is out everywhere!
It's also on Spotify, Amazon, Google Play and really everywhere music usually is...

The guitar is a Schecter Omen-8

I got this 8 string not too long ago after a viewer messaged me suggesting that I get one. I've since been playing it constantly. Here's the first song I've released with it :)
Hope you enjoy it!

Much thanks to my good friend Louis for all his help during filming.

My guitar courses are available within the Guitareo membership :)
Also, my beginner course, GuitarQuest, is still available on it's own too

The channel is supported in part by Sweetwater’s affiliate program. Thanks for that!

This is what he does when he's waiting for his clothes to wash.

Rob's the only guy I know who can bring me to tears in a utility room.

My mom recently died... April 10th and I'm back listening to songs like Anchor and the beautiful sounds reminds me of her beauty. Thank you Rob.

This song brings me back to my happiest and darkest hours...this song has been with me through some shit folks. From lying there cuddling with my girl and having deep conversations with this in the background, to when I was in my room empty inside after being cheated on. Either way, this song made me feel better. THIS IS MUSIC!!
Thank you Rob Scallon for this beautiful masterpiece.

I came here for metal ukelele covers and then had my heart touched. SO BEAUTIFUL! Heaps of feels.

On the day of your death, many who were touched by your music will return to the internet and listen to the songs you have done and feel your very essence. This is your immortality Mr.Scallon.

Can't believe it's 10 years old already. I was still a schoolman going in my senior year living at grandmas old soviet bloc unrenovated room. With laptop and this music I felt hella futuristic. Wow time flies.

As a fingerstyle guitarist myself, I really appreciate this piece. I'm so happy to see somebody *truly playing an extended-range guitar* instead of using the low tuning like a percussion instrument like so many metal-heads are doing. It's wonderful that fingerstyle and classical styles of playing are becoming more popular and getting more attention from guitarists who otherwise would just be chord-chopping. Music has to evolve to stay relevant, and this is an excellent example of that ideal in practice. Hopefully more musicians wake-up and stop all the copy-cat crap and carve their own path like Mr. Scallon here. Fantastic!

no joke you're probably one of the best guitar players I've ever heard

[RichJohnstun]

What wash cycle is the washer set on to get that tone?

[Tobinicus]

Thumbs up if you normally hate youtube add's but were thankful to discover Rob through one

[schectergang]

This is the first song I showed my grandma and she said “he’s cool and talented” you get the grandma seal of approval Mr Scallon.

[nomad]

I remember listening to this two years ago, was going through some shit. This song got me through it.

[hobostrength]

Incredible use of natural harmonics and tapping. I love everything about this. the reverb, vibratos, the accents of percussive playing. it's amazing

[TheAlpacaAlliance]

I think this is the first time I've heard an 8 string played in a style that wasn't either djent or some sort of technical metal lol
