I freaking love nu metal. Starting an 8 string nu metal band now.

Works even better if you throw in a whammy pedal, closing in on Morello territory.

[@dwkluka511]

Its got some Limp Bizkit vibes

[@andrewgiovannini3382]

Those are some killer fat riffs brother

[@mlody969]

No, just random core/djent shit

[@gustavo_if3042]

That "A lot of notes in one string" 🤤🤤

[@jarensauer1898]

Thank you for proving to me that you can make banging metal music without having a master’s degree in music theory or any formal training. 😂😂😂 I’m legit maxed out on all these levels and laugh at myself constantly because I don’t actually know what the hell I’m doing.

[@azizkarim2194]

inb4 he actually has a bachelor degree in music education, ggwp.

[@drewharrito5705]

This is fantastic… that binary riff at the beginning did sound hard as f.. all riffs are sick.

[@Snavels]

I'm not a beginner, but I still mostly play Level 2 because I find that the most memorable riffs are the simplest.

[@czyprodigy2743]

Cool excuse

[@MSNGR415]

Learn the most you can, then forget most of it and write good music 🤙🏽

[@Snavels]

@@czyprodigy2743 Shut yo greasy ass up. Doom riffs are stupidly easy and super memorable. I incorporate lvl 9 stuff, But it's preference. Simplicity is good for it being memorable

LOVE your mixing!

[@PaulKingMetal]

Great playing and sound as always.

[@estudiodrive]

Oh shut up, it was perfectly played and one of the best tones I have seen out there, take out that text on the beginning of the video. Congrats!

[@aldrindelosreyes4973]

Keep it going..that wall sound is sic especially to a Nu Metal fan..

[@BababooeyYcho66T]

All the levels by themselves are very killer, but putting them together creates a bloodthirsty creature handcrafted at the gates of hell. Very well done my liege.

[@epirotejam]

there is always this thickness to your sound I love it!

[@MetalGuitarGuy]

Sick riffiage once again! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@voidbehind9394]

Damn you should make the new doom soundtrack maker

[@skeeterhouse1]

Your music is out of this world! Amazing! Just ordered my first 8 string. Super curious about what pickups you use.

[@checkthedist]

Thanks man! I use ARB Tavr set on this guitar.

[@rekaty79]

@@checkthedist I was also watching your videos before ordering a custom angled ARB Torr for my Ibanez RGMS8. It wasn't cheap, but I'm very satisfied with the result. I also added an EMG SPC middle boost pot for an extra bite. Very inspiring videos, Alex.

[@eternalAku]

Love all the levels, but level 10 and bonus one are my fav :)

[@diegolatorre6793]

This riff writing is godlike.

[@CallMe_DrWorm]

I missed watching this one when it came out. Those staccato downstrokes are completely devastating and tastefully placed!

[@user-vf1kc8hq6u]

Спасибо. Теперь я буду знать, что нахожусь между уровнями 2 и 3.

[@rajdeep.banerjee]

This is sick!!! Brutal at it's best! 🤘🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🤘🏻

[@TheLounabomber]

Tone is sick AF 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@tris8316]

So sick dude! Love it🤘🏼

[@palanthis]

"Look at me, mom. I'm a DJ!" Dude, I almost spit out my coffee I laughed so hard at at that.

[@normbarrows]

Pretty cool. And a heck of a lot easier than it sounds. Level 7 and you're just learning to chug..... Been playing 43 years, but old metal, not Nu. Got an ESP LTD MH-17, a Gstyle 7 string strat, A Bexgear 7 string (kit build), an Iron Horse 7 string multiscale, a Gstyle 8 string strat, and an Ibanez 8 string multiscale. Gimme a week or two to dust off the rust (I build guitars more than I play nowadays), and a couple more weeks to move through the levels, and I could probably be there. That's one cool thing about guitar, the more you learn, the easier it is to learn more. I've never got into Nu metal before because I always considered alternate tunings to be "cheating", and found getting good sound from standard tuning to be a more worthy challenge. Nowadays I'm less of an uptight purist about things. With the rise in popularity of alternate tunings, I found its just as easy to write bad music regardless of tuning used. So now I no longer blame alternate tunings for bad songwriting.

[@aniline06]

I'm in love with you Jesus Christ what the fuck did I just witness I'm BLOWN away

[@thomasbjor2332]

Fun and informative, sounds nice too! Last part of lvl 2 was my fave🤘💕

Instructions unclear, wrote a deathcore song.

[@smolchungus9213]

"Still can't play guitar like normal people" hits too close to home

[@victorlorente6591]

[@charcoal_burst]

Damn it. I'm also interested in some special agile guitar model, but the interesting one are all sold out by now... I hope they are coming back soon!

[@mixc8]

Great stuff Alex

[@GrMfull]

Lvl 10 is awesome !

This is 10 levels of some killer shit!!! Turn this up!!!!!!!!!!!! Level 9 baby !!! Throw chairs mode!!!!

Just fucking awesome

nice cool try ever ..........thanks!is it try deathcore with korn tone be next ?

Lvl 11: archspire style riffs

[@yukuzoona6604]

all bass players be like..."ima go home then"

[@funnyperson4027]

I've been thinking about an 8 string for a while and I think it's inevitable at this point and that scares me

[@necroticpoison]

Level 9 riff was low key sick though

[@lichkrieg4898]

Watch at 2 times speed for groove-tech-deathcore

[@xxcxpl]

... too much 4 me bro 🤸 must be getting old, hehe ... so just bought a 7string - fcuk da neighbours - greetings from London

[@lichkrieg4898]

@@xxcxpl I played 6 for like 13 years, then in less a year I had a 7 and an 8 lol. I love my 8 because it's like having a standard 6 string and a down tuned monster in one.

[@needsLITHIUM]

you forgot natural and pinch harmonics, but mostly natural. Proper Nu Metal needs harmonics thrown in to weird, random places like an A.I. computer having a seizure.

killer riffs man!

[@thecorsairlives]

man your videos got me looking up 8 string prices lol, i gotta get one

[@wordsmith451]

Love the south park intro 🤣

[@sunriseofnight2105]

thank you. epic. amazing. thats all i have to say

[@Silencex84]

Level 8 and beyond already sounds like Josh Travis

[@docrockland9464]

I love the agile septor elite, is that the 827? 828? 830? *Update* Nevermind, you listed exactly what it is in another video.

[@Yozh_Ezhi]

Reminds me ClubMurder. Level 8 is awesome btw

[@FilterStepp]

Really nice playing! Low end sounds really tight. What gauge strings are you using?

[@checkthedist]

10-84

[@brandonrogers5207]

This seems like an excellent thing to learn for practice to break in my new 8 string do you have tabs or tutorial videos?

[@04-nguyenhoangbach35]

"Impressive, so this is a G chord."

[@alltimellow]

wheres the pinch harmonics brother

[@bioblad3]

Holy shit that was insane!

[@rob0nemusic369]

I never needeed a 8 strings so much

[@whatskraken3886]

i actually really enjoy the "beginner" riffs. sometimes it's just about the 000000

[@scottglasgowmusic]

Just starting 8-String... would love to have a way to see the chords spelled out or tab on some thing. Dissonant chords just wizz by. All the low D string stuff is easy enough to follow as is the octave. When on lowest strings you hand seems to be on a bar chord, is that stop ringing or do you string the chord?

[@ColeRambaldi]

доходчивый guide.

[@krzysztofzakrzewski7777]

Concrete destroy 💣💥 Cheers 🥃

[@TheHeatnik]

Level 1 sounded so much like Admiral Angry. Man I miss them..

[@harrylyod3402]

loved it .

[@kaibourne329]

Ya forgot level 11 GOD MODE, 😂💪✈️🙌. First time listener. Do you play much acoustic👌 would love to hear you on a 12 string or 6 string tuned to open A

[@stevenhammerle]

Getting serious Doom vibes here🔥

[@jonny23_]

Ваши видосы прям как бальзам на душу))

[@D.saltybringer]

No words. What tuning and string scale are using? It really sounds great

[@Divine_Serpent_Geh]

I think it’s Drop Eb or Drop D.

[@beyondmywildestdreams6942]

woow man this is sick

[@clariiblanco]

hey bro! what tunning are you using?? brutal!!

[@marvins4646]

BEAST!!!

[@nathanevans8488]

Will you ever release this onto Spotify or anything dude? Absolutely addicted to this

[@checkthedist]

I already have some music on Spotify, but this one was more like a joke for me then a song or composition. Maybe I'll create some song based on these riffs, who knows.

[@nathanevans8488]

@@checkthedist I'll check your stuff out on Spotify :) it's insane that this is more of a joke to you, I can't stop jamming to this, love it

[@blastbeatdown]

This is Emmure’s approach to metalcore. But the first riff is def on point. I’m pretty sure Slipknot, Sepultura / Soulfly, and Ill Niño have all used pretty much that exact riff lol.

[@elijahechicagobearsboyd5734]

Don't hate, appreciate.

[@blastbeatdown]

@@elijahechicagobearsboyd5734 not sure where you think I’m hating. I love nu metal, metalcore, and pretty much every band I mentioned.

[@Divine_Serpent_Geh]

+1 for the Ill Niño mention. Level 1 riff sounds almost identical in structure to lots of riffs off of “Revolution Revolucíon”.

[@checksangs]

Amazing! Can we get the tab?

[@AlexanDrMoskalenko]

what kind of nu metal is this, Mic Gordon's?)

[@somber91]

Hey, Alex! Which tuning are you using here? Btw, amazing stuff!

[@checkthedist]

Drop D on this guitar.

[@KHOMOTO]

i didnt know you were the guitarist for korn :D

[@nipulkradmsinatagras8293]

I think I can pull off levels 1 & 2. But that 3rd level looks hard already.

[@checkthedist]

It's not actually, just seems so

[@marting.official]

Level 11: it's possible to scratch the strings

[@marioribeiro5413]

Cacetada 👊🏾

Complètement dingue 🤘😎

great shit buddy, can you please tellme which tunning are you using?

Here it was Drop D

[@Trimech-np2od]

Looks like we got two metal elitist.

[@TLE1977A]

Sick!

[@Fieldy666]

In my opinion the 10 level is quite easy. Even for me)

[@alpertatkan874]

Good but... Maybe, is level 3 harder than bonus?

[@k.d2430]

Level 3 'Old' riff by Machine Head. Tbh I'm more of a L3 and L4 player

[@FEV369]

Interesting, I'm at bonus level but I'd argue you missed a few levels in there =D I still can't play guitar like normal people though =(

[@3amir126]

just wanna ask u guys about that level 3 riffs... I know I've heard it before but can't really remember...anyone knows some songs that have kinda similar vibe to that riff??thanks!

[@mrmohantyexperiments]

He’s a great DJ but guitar mmm may be not so 😂 jk. What an animal of a player. Phenomenal,keep ‘em coming

[@187mafio]

I can play this same style on my esp ltd mh-401bfm baritone 6 string i think baritones can go up to f depending how long the scale length is you dont need eight strings or sevens to tune low or drop tun

[@federicoavalos9200]

♥♥♥♥

[@burneraccounthandle]

that agile is sweet, is that a pendulum? I just ordered a 72527fx and so hyped on it

[@docrockland9464]

Its sick af right? It's an agile septor elite. I'm just not sure if its the 827, 828, or 830 (8 being the number of strings and the 27, 28, or 30 being the scale length). The pendulum is a multi-scale with fanned frets. *UPDATE* I checked the description of another video of him using the same guitar and it's an Agile Septor Elite 828.

[@erikpeterson778]

Learned first 3 *frets* 💀 Not even notes, just frets 🤣

[@binchen6029]

i've recently started playing 8strings， but i don't know how to get started...maybe i need tab（my English rusty）

[@MrAerto]

what is the most used tone? The lower string is G?
