Ohhh ! The animals guys usually tune in drop E! Lowest note is E, rest is standard!

Thanks. What's wrong with my link? I always do something wrong there...

You were using the video URL and not the "share" link.  This one:
 

Note that you still will need to remove the "s" from "https" though.

Congratulation man! I have also a 8 string, Ibanez that is. My favorite 8 string players ae those in animals as leaders. Tosin Abasi is extreme! Javier Reyes has some solo stuff too that's great

Alright , another 8 string player . What length scale is your Ibanez ? 
My guitar has a 28 scale length and I love it ...

I'm sticking with the standard 8 string tuning for now ( Low F # ) it happens to work best for what I 'm currently playing .
The drop E is nice I have tried it ..it certainly makes it easier to know where you are on the neck and it also makes it easy to hit some one finger low power chords ....
One interesting 8 string tuning I tried out was Low G ....Low G was nice because it was an exact duplicate of the top 3 guitar strings

Meant to say that I enjoyed watching the below video over the weekend (haven't watched part 2 yet).  I'm definitely going to go back and watch again once I have a guitar again! Might take awhile to "get" it, but I'd love to be able to play like that.

Hello Craig ,
 
I'm glad too hear that you got some kind of enjoyment out of my video 
The second video seemed to not take off ..people may have lost interest ..or I may have talked too much ...
 
When I do something like these vids , it is basically to share and pass on info for any one who may have an interest .
FWIW , this is exactly how I approach my guitar playing ...the main difference is I take all the little playing ideas and riffs I'm working on / learning and run them through 4 or 5 different keys and chord types .
( major , minor ,7th , altered )
 
all the best,
 
Kenny
 

I will be checking it again once I get my guitar back.  There's a LOT I need to relearn and then even more to learn!  Hopefully I'll have my finances back in order soon so my mind will let me take the time and not badger me to find work.
