Here's something that turned up in my inbox during my most recent vacation (I'm slowly catching up on emails and old coffee cups with disturbing things growing in them).
It's a video of a talented eight-string guitarist, Sonia Shredder, performing a playthrough video of "Vultures," the title track from Fate's 2008 album (Metal Blade Records).
The video, which was published to YouTube in February, features the following bonus info from Sonia:
"This is an A-tuned six-string guitar cover that I transposed to an F# eight-string guitar and played the last section a third interval higher. Twice the fun! :)"
GEAR
- Guitar: Ibanez RGA8
- Pickups: Seymour Duncan Distortion 8
