Real ones remember when the title was "I Put Sitar Strins On My 7 String Guitar"

[@UncleRJ]

4:35 I thought you were gonna play Embryo by Black Sabbath but no instead you played Lil Wayne guitar solo

[@Sjrm126]

I love the sound of those strins

[@13_cmi]

He said strings so much I don't even know where he said this

[@dhill05]

I bet "Strins" is gonna become a meme of yours from now on

[@mrbungle3310]

Sounds cool to me, especially the distortion sounds amazing for Math Metal

[@tylerphillips503]

Simpathetik strins

[@1337million]

I was at a guitar shop in Oslo once, and they had a 12 string acoustic where 6 of the strings were a regular nylon set, but the second set of strings were sitar strings and whatever they did to mod it also made them sound similar to a sitar

[@kingnary9th688]

is it the store with all those wacky instruments and shit?

[@1337million]

@@kingnary9th688 I think it's in the Grønland area, but I haven't been in Oslo in a few years now. I never look for it, I just stumble upon it lol

Next guitar mod idea: double the neck on one body.

[@danmaycock9238]

1 guitar, 0 neck.

[@nipulkradmsinatagras8293]

*Great lookin set of strins*

[@vlyrch]

There's a lot of potential in this.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

We also have the Italian Mandolin Family (tuned the same as the Violin Family but you strum them).

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

The tuning is basically DADGAD but down a half step

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

6:04 The only songs I'd be able to play on these Loose Strings would be all those Choral Arrangements from Hal-Leonard & other companies.

[@13_cmi]

Sitars sound beautiful. This thing with distortion sounds like a drunk bagpipe from walgreens.

[@Sir-Thrash]

Fact Metallica's wherever I may roam starts with a sitar And also has a 12 sting bass

[@noobasaurusrex9608]

Andrew Baena is one of your patrons?! That's kinda sick!! Also good vid. All of your vids are good. I never comment on anything, but just know that we all love you 🤘

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Some Sitars have 21 Strings 8 Main & 13 Sympathetic

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

2:20 Some of the Strings aren't necessarily in the Right Octave because they felt too loose while tuning up. So the 2 Lowest strings are tuned an Octave Higher. And that C#5 string which starts much closer to the bridge on the Sitar, I knew I wouldn't be able to get that high so I just matched its neighbors octave.

[@MrNickRowe]

Crazy how the clean sound so... Sitar like lol sounds super noice

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

3:09 Melodic

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

They do make this special Bridge:www.eyb-guitars.de/Eyb-English/sitarbridge.html that allows you to make your Guitar sound like a Sitar so you can get that Eddie Van Halen Sound.

[@AlexIsASeraphim]

Seen it done n Guitar Samurai I think with tin foil.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@@AlexIsASeraphim Reminds me of this:kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWrGpZR7qtt4m80 all plain strings on Guitar thing which never worked well because Wound Strings are easier to handle.

[@zueiraautentica5977]

gimme that *S T R I N S*

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

The Sitar Scale Length is the same as a Bass Guitar.

[@dannybardon2934]

Great strins

[@moonchild4806]

This is super interesting. Some of the clean stuff you were playing reminded me of what I've heard on a vietnamese guitar. I think they're tuned normally but they have a super scalloped fretboard, moreso than what you'd see on a western guitar.

[@AndruJorj]

This reminds me of the band The Tea Party.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

2:20 The 2 Lowest Strings had to be tuned up an Octave because they felt too loose in the normal Octave, & that C#5 String which starts closer to the bridge can't be tuned that High so we just matched its neighbors octave.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Said Too Much Productions They do make Wound Sitar Strings:www.sitar-tabla.com/sitar-strings.htm & yes it's scale length is identical to a Bass Guitar.

[@blood_red_sinnamon_official]

Hey you should get a four string bass And string it like a ukulele Like tune it to E2 A1 C#2 F#2

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

Interesting sound, might be perfect for PTX song covers.

[@AlexIsASeraphim]

Think you're onto something with this. And cheaper than buying one of those Danelectro sitar guitars too. Thanks Kevin.

[@benjaminmarker7581]

Strins

[@SaidTooMuchProductions]

Of course this was the first comment lol

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

A six string with an added string between the B and high E string would be closer to the way a Sitar plays.

[@crusiethmaximuss]

Perhaps adding small strips of plastic picks to lightly rest against the strings to simulate the buzz bridge and it might sound like a sitar guitar.

[@ravelitschimo]

Sounds like fretbuzz:-)

[@mfledermauskonig8949]

I’m surprised this actually worked! Who knew? However, now I’m wondering about the scale length. It seems the sitar is pretty long. This might make all the difference? I would think the correct tension on the strings would be important. Also, I think this is kinda what I like about a 12-string. That chimey sound is used in a lot of 1960’s songs. There was an electric sitar guitar made by Dan electro but it really doesn’t sound right. So maybe a baritone version? will be better?

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

A Baritone Version would be cool

[@kevinmkraft]

Interesting!

[@TheLowest]

Wow, I'm really surprised at how similar to a sitar these strins sound on a guitar

[@famitory]

would love to see you try to DIY an electric sitar bridge, a really annoying thing to try and get hold of (the danelectro fixed bridges suck, the EYBs are impossible to find, and the gotohs have weird spacing and machining issues)

[@docnova]

I was here when strins were still strins. Are the good times really over for good?

[@TheTeaTVI]

I thought i heard meshuggah for a sec there at 3:31

[@cooper9287]

Cut you hair. Love your channel bro

[@mr.fictionaloxymoron3643]

God Stephen Carpenter would cream over these things if he found them lol. Seriously alot of what you did sounded like deftones and I loved it. Great job and Djent on man🤘.

[@RockStarOscarStern634]

@UCQoElgBw4Rb5zI37trQvGZQ The Mandolin w/ its 4 pairs of Strings has the same tuning as a Violin but it's easier to play cause it has frets & you use a Pick.

[@elFxble]

do you happen to know where i can get a similar strat 7 now adays?

[@peehandshihtzu]

The distorted part reminds me of a bagpipe for some reason. :)
