[@robscallon]

well thanks again Oisín :) This song, or any of my 8 string stuff wouldn't exist without you sending that message

[@1029-i7w]

.

[@DavidsMusicChannel]

That was awesome! I'm loving my Omen-8 too which inspired me to write a few songs kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH-9ZKt7eJZ0mbM

[@Drust79]

It was I, Oisín from Ireland, and I was thrilled that you took my reccomendation :) If I can get some decent recording software (And can actually play the song) I'll try a cover of this ^^

[@guitarplayer9000]

You’re a legend.

[@tavicotavio]

He never uploaded the cover

[@sup3rthisguy]

@@tavicotavio 😔😭

[@olivierdube8110]

You're so kind man, I love you

[@BiRDiEHere]

Some one has a crush

[@twitch.101]

This song inspired me so much to write stuff like this! I never even thought about writing this kind of stuff on any guitar, let alone a seven or eight string. It really opened my eyes to an all new style, and an all new method.

[@mctwishvonnoodles9793]

I know I'm super late to the party, but I just wanted to say that Anchor is one of the most beautiful songs ever. There's a kind of "pretty dissonance", if you will, to the way the notes ring out against each other. It adds a whole new dimension to the song. You've successfully made me want to get an 8-string.

[@maxmaxx284]

I honestly haven't had a very big interest in getting an 8-string guitar. It just seems like it isn't my thing as I am really fine with my 6-string. But I find this song to be so gorgeous its almost inspiring and makes me want to buy an 8-string. I think I am convinced haha. Thanks for the video!

[@markeymalarkey7614]

Max Maxx did you ever get one

[@ModerneMaennlichkeit]

i recently got a really cheap one from Harley Benton, just to try if an 8-String fits me. it plays really well! i can only suggest to try it once in a lifetime!

[@The_Nautilus_Project]

I came back to this for the lesson now that I am much better with an 8 string, stayed for the nostalgia. You are such an inspiration, thank you for sharing your music with the world. You are such a kind and beautiful soul, and I hope you are doing well, friend.

[@ItsMikey228]

How does Rob get his sound? Like does he run through an amp or an amp sim? His tone for Anchor is absolutely gorgeous.

[@CameronSchindler]

DiAbOliCaL41 his friend fluff does a lot of the mixing for him. He made a video on it one time and I believe he said it was a Mesa/Boogie .50 cal+ but I'm not sure cause it was a while ago.

[@TS-ez3rf]

Dude. The thumb behind the tapping finger was a game changer. Thank you.

[@OlettaLiano]

Cool video. I'm planning to buy an Omen-8 with a walnut finish next month. Schecter does make great instruments.

[@planesofrealitymusic547]

FOR ANYONE WANTING TO KNOW THE TUNING ITS FCFACGCe

[@d0dg3st4r]

What's the thinking behind that tuning? I would personally have gone something like EBEBGDGD

[@planesofrealitymusic547]

+Danny D idk its a cutom tuning. its like open f with the high g and e. i use it and it sounds great.

[@TimLundin3]

Jack Latham Like an 8 string american football tuning.

[@everlot1000]

American Football AF

[@willowsparks4576]

PL AN ES of reality music Its an F major7 add9 chord

[@steveg7368]

So melodic, it's hypnotising, thanks.

[@rawdoggin125]

Can you please make a omen 8 review

[@yeetmachine1737]

Rob please please do a full tutorial, just got my new 8 string and I have no idea what to do :) Stay awesome

[@redneckrebelzracing2891]

What a beautiful song for 8 string... I was trying to adapt it to a 7 string, and having lot of trouble till I realized u are in a diff tuning kinda open tuned on the low 4 and closer to standard fifths on high strings... Maybe I'm wrong. Either way amazing song thanks for the lesson! 👍

[@joeymoehlenkamp1097]

Shector guitars are great they pull put some insane sounds

[@wieberator1]

Rob please make the vlogs again i miss them

[@Growtutor42]

Please tell us what kind of amp, settings/pedals you use to get the right tone for this?

[@hankralf2640]

Is it possible to play this song on a 7 string, I am going to do it anyway but i just wanted to make sure that no special tuning other that what he talks about above needed to make it sound right. thx in advance. -Hank

[@defaceddeath]

did you ever find out?

[@dovahzoh]

Can we get a lesson for The Dial? Or maybe the rest of the tab for Envy? I love all of your songs

[@IngressBand]

I'm trying to write a similar song with my Schecter Hellraiser c-7 Diamond series :) I'll link it to you if I can ever finish it haha

[@javieriturra369]

I really love this song, I feel that I get way too your music and let me know where I could download or purchase some of your songs I want to have it, your music is beautiful and it's something I really love great art , I admire you , you're a great musician. And I'm really grateful to have heard your music, it's something that touches me in a way that does not know , thank you for creating it and I say hope you continue creating and great support for you from chile

[@jermbarnett1]

Love the how to! Awesome song more please!

[@ryanhoppe5121]

Hey I am thinking about getting the Omen 8 and I was wondering how you felt about the scale length? I am a big fan of the tone it has based on its appearances in your videos, but I was curious as to how the 26.5" scale feels.

[@inveilgun]

Hey! What size of strings did you use on this guitar?

[@SpeczDaPlug]

That's my dream guitar, I need it!

[@badams.mp3]

I plan to get this guitar asap...

[@UnlinealHand]

Just got myself and 8 string and I'm learning this before I go to Meshuggah.

[@Funky_]

I wonder how this song woud sound like on acoustic guitar

[@GoldRaptor00]

it would sound like it was played on an acoustic guitar

[@clintonhart4784]

wow

[@fraserfrazzle690]

I wonder why?

[@OfficialMorda]

Holy shit I never thought about that...

[@michaelsmith4691]

That bar chord is painful enough on an electric, fuck that I got tally marks on my index finger

[@ЯрославТрифонов-п9з]

That's a great song, thanks for tutorial btw. But what is this technique when you roll over all strings with four fingers?

[@Drust79]

Funnily enough, I hadn't even thought of it like that. Woah XD You're very welcome! :)

[@Fishul]

You should do a part two, show more of the cool slappy bits.

[@klairesmusic3716]

have you ever tried playing this with an acoustic guitar? nice channel you have btw :)

[@wrench9810]

This song is so beutiful

[@almondtart]

AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE WHO LOVES HOW HE LOOKS ESPECIALLY IN THIS VIDEO ESPECIALLY WHEN HE'S PLAYING OHMYGOD

[@StricklandAssistantManager]

Now I just need to get an 8 string and I can play this song :D thanks rob!

[@manuelanorga]

Hey! I am thinking get that Guitar, loog good. Could you give me some recomendation?,

[@mzry1374]

whats your step by step on composing a song like this and the others?

[@Anthonyxia]

Any possible way to pull this off on a six string or something similar?

[@David-ej1ps]

+asch the fall yes it is possible, play the song in drop d. i have only figured out the first part of the song so far. in the original video he has the link to the tab and in there you can find the chords for the rest of the song.

[@RCHobbyist463]

+David Malangu in drop D, the lowest note would be almost a full octave higher than what's required for the song.

[@David-ej1ps]

yes but that wont stop you repeating the same movement, look at the tab and focus on the movement of the song

[@Anthonyxia]

+David Malangu +Nicolas Otala in that case, play it in Drop C haha. Thanks though! :)

[@LunyAlex]

Hey dude, are those MDR-X200s?

[@MrStev96]

what is it called when you play with your fingers instead of a pick? can anyone you show us how you strum this song using your fingers? i really love your songs and it really opened my eyes as to what you can do with a guitar, and you made me consider buying that guitar as well! (damn me, i keep buying guitars!)

[@kickside99]

Fingerstyle?

[@lcb931023]

Who Even Djents Now relevant username :P

[@kickside99]

lcb931023 You know it ;)

[@bullheadshitface2023]

I actually believe he's using the slap style ( like slap bass) obviously he isn't slapping it, but it looks like the techniques you would use in slap guitar.

[@bullheadshitface2023]

Omg XD i forgot about the regular finger picking

[@sare-grizzle22]

can u play it on a 6 string???

[@luciferhades9805]

Has anyone ever tell you that you look like Ashton Kutcher? By the way, you're one of my favorite guitar players.

[@michaeldawson7618]

I want to get an 8 string just to try and play this song now lol

[@SuffyGames]

i know its made for an 8 string but does anyone know if it would at all be possible to play it on a 7 string? also does rob have any lighter songs like anchor on a 7 string?

[@Артем-ъ5и2ж]

Check out on YT 6 string covers of Anchor, it sounds pretty well. Also I like "For that second" by Rob, which is played on 6 string guitar.

[@genericweeb6501]

its in the of eventully ( from e to high e via 6 string

[@jesperw1602]

Was looking for a review for the guitar and found the first song I'll learn once I get it :)

[@ktakk1]

heyyy thats my first 8 string!!

[@TheMike6452]

Hey!! Could you please tell what tuning you have used?

[@assassinm69]

Tuning from Low to high is; F, C, F, A, C, G, C, E.

[@lordherbs1626]

Middleton92 ecgcaf

[@MegaUWAGAN]

Did you modified the stock pick ups?

[@bbordeo973]

Paul McPooP doesn’t look like it, the stock Diamond pickups are pretty big soapbar style things

[@lucashernandez8146]

Tuning is a "tini" bit different

[@shamiikemi6242]

REDO IT!!!!

[@adrianjord]

Just curious, what camera do you use?

[@symphonicdread9099]

Bootifül

[@debil8223]

but does it djent?

[@Gabrol]

lol so many Idols and Anchors covers in the related videos.

[@Rottingcorpseful]

what about pick up ????

[@eLstratos60]

so funny when you're fighting against you cam XDD

[@justinds9902]

whats the chord progression?

[@Chucho10000lol]

Tunning?

[@lyovaoblivin5104]

I hope your signature won't cost like 400 - 300 bucks like the Schecter , I only go to work at Saturday's which I can't now , and I get like 20 bucks each Saturday , mean yeah if I could save up I would sure buy a schecter or your signature but it would take a long ads time for me :(

[@spottedstar1123]

unfortunately, $300-$400 is REALLY cheap for a guitar - i heard rob's signature will probably be around $700

[@TheExiledTexan]

+spottedstar1123 And even that is cheap for any guitar, more so for eight string guitars. The cheapest Fender strat goes for $700ish.

[@lyovaoblivin5104]

Noooooooooooooooooo

[@fabianpilinski4079]

+The One™ depend if it what country it was made in becuse they retail in my guitar store for $400 for a mexican

[@wasabiwaffle]

Back when Rob wasn't balding...

[@johnravelo6321]

Pickups? ??

[@SteveHupe]

Those are the standard Schecter pickups that come with the guitar. I have the same one, and they look like the stock pickups. They're the only weakpoint on this guitar, and I'll replace them down the road, too muddy and need a lot of EQ tweaks.

[@vincentb5828]

Steve H are these active pickups ?

[@SteveHupe]

20100 B no, they're capped/ covered to look like active ones, but they're passive.

[@vincentb5828]

Steve H ok thanks

[@henryspeer5359]

At first I read the title as "How to play Anchor (& my Semen-8)"

[@daviswood259]

6 years later, 18 and 20 strings

[@ajgnexus]

Atari ST joke - Schecter Das Omen 8

[@95dank]

That's actually an accomplishment, lol. Have fun not chugging before fingering lol

[@FujiShiina]

why u so cool ? xd

[@mcmlxxxviimcmxcvi8641]

Well, piece of cake...

[@OWitbroke]

If you play a g chord with this tuning it sounds like A minor lol

[@wokeil]

This is 420 bucks with free shipping. Limited time only

[@MrStev96]

[@AttilaThebung]
