Yeah Steven! Totally out of line with your super vulgar and explicit message

That extended fretboard 8 string is too ....ing sweet, I would love to play on it. And I hardly play 8 strings.

I know anything I say beyond this point is going to sound like me being butthurt over misnaming a guitar. I'll just shut up now

No biggie man!

No biggie man!

Either way it was a stellar show. Anyone planning on seeing this tour is in for a treat.

Because I'm able to see that across a dark stage.....

Can't I say anything on the internet without getting reamed? (rhetorical question)

And to be fair I quick googled "Tosin Abasi strandberg" The first link is for #17 and the first pic in the images is #8. And I wasn't aware Tosin had 2, let alone two that look so similar . Sorry to offend haha

Sorry man, didn't mean to sound aggressive.

And Jonathan, I keep bugging Ola to bring baritone hybrid to the AES Boden8. No success yet.

'sall good broski.

Baritone hybrid sounds awesome in concept. Haven't been able to play one yet. When I eventually can afford a strandberg I'm definitely going to try for that on a 7.

 

[Solodini]

Just stick a 6 string capo on an 8 string and you'll have the same effect as baritone hybrid.

I just got home from the Indianapolis stop of the AAL, Conquering Dystopia, and Chon tour. Things got pretty toasty in there an no one left without getting soaked in their own sweat. I tried in vain to find some cold ones for the bands after the show, but all the liquor stores were closed on Memorial Day. I had to settle for ice cream snickers bars, the other cold treat. The biggest thrill of the night (besides the awesome music), was getting a thankful sweaty hug from Alex Rüdinger. He was pretty stoked for those ice cream bars. I can't wait until they come back again!

 

[TheStig1214]

Damn, Tosin looks good. I should start doing Crossfit....

 

[Lydian2000]

Very recent clinic, full thump techniques explained in detail, which crushed my hopes of one day being able to play this(just trying the basics of slapping on guitar for now, this is light-years away) at 21.00

plus very cool performance:

Guitar Center Session - awesome!

 

[Webmaestro]

Just found out they're playing here on Friday with Conquering Dystopia. All for only $18. I'm so frickin' stoked.

 

[Daf57]

Man! That's too cool!

Just saw them perform at Bonnaroo the other night. Out of 80,000 people, hardly any knew about them so they played in a small tent. The only ones there were the metalheads, so it was a nice change of pace from listening to popular music for a couple days and it was cool to talk to them.

It was Friday the 13th under a full moon at the 13th Bonnaroo, so a lot of people were dressed up (including me, I was adorned with a bear costume.) Anyways, they played an amazing set that blew everybody's mind. The crowd seemed mesmerized by their playing and the energy was fantastic.

Being one of my favorite bands, I had high expectations for them. When I found out they were going to be at Bonnaroo, after I had bought my ticket, I freaked out. Needless to say I was not disappointed. My friend who doesn't even listen to metal music loved them and said he wanted to check out more of their stuff. Festivals are magical.

Are you talking about CD copies or the vinyl?

I'm still waiting to hear what the hell is going on with the vinyl version of JoM. I preordered the damn thing and still no word on it...

Offtopic: how are headless guitars tuned?

 

[jephjacques]

The tuning machines are down on the bridge.

Offtopic: how are headless guitars tuned?

They aren't. You have to be a master musician to unlock the headless guitar option, because you will need to play in whatever pitch the guitar ends up in when you string it up. You will need to spend the first two months after each string change learning all your fingerings again, relative to the tuning you ended up with.

Impressive stuff huh?

Got an email Thursday the 12th saying my vinyl order was being prepared for shipment.
