I'm Pete and I play music! Having fun with metal guitar doing everything from modern metal, extended range 7 strings and 8 strings to thrash metal on a good old 6 string. Riffs in the styles of other bands, shredding and lots of fun with metal music!

Next challenge : find the thinnest guitar strings and drop tune them to "modern" metal and make a song as silly and low as nowadays but without whammy you just bend the h*ll up of the string to make the glitchy noise !
this is it, this is the video that would make me subscribe to your channel again if I wasn't subscribed already

if you turn up the gain and boost the volume to the max, you can just smack the ody at certain points and that would make the strings vibrate, making a very vibeful ambient sound

Man, I LOVE groove metal songs and riffs. This was killer. These challenge vids you do are a ton of fun. I still recall the "sugar" Meshuggah vids you did back in the day. Maybe do another vid like that but you do the sound effects with more modern items like a vacuum or an electric shaver? That could lend to some industrial metal madness! Regardless, great vid, dude. Looking forward to more.
woah I'm really early. Good seeing you back Pete!

Awesome! Didn't know what to expect with that title lol, but you created a really awesome song with limiting the frets. I love bends, slides, and harmonics (the latter especially!), and I love how creative you got with different techniques. Might have to try those behind the string bends at the head of the guitar myself just for fun.

Came out sick. How about a Periphery challenge. Make a song out of bits of as many Periphery songs as you can. I double dog dare ya!
I have a challenge for you. Put the strings in the opposite position. Low on the bottom and high on the top. Have fun!!
You did a great job considering the challenge. Sounds surprisingly musical. But you benefit greatly from frets haha

Is that because the fret job on the harley benton cut your fingers ? i had one R458 multiscale and first song i played my fingers were bleeding... I'm sure the quality inproved since the frist release but , i don't know , would love to see it in real life but i'm really disapointed with my last order from them , do you think it got better now ? Thanks , and always , Awesome song man ! Cheers from France !

Thanks! And yeah, I’ve had no problems with the frets on this so far. The only issue was that the nut was a little sticky and grabbed the strings too much. It was easily fixed with graphite from a pencil to lube it though. This guitar is closer in quality to the Amarok series which are really great. Not tried one of the R458’s in a few years but I remember them being very cheap. This one though is much better :)

I don’t think there is a name for it. I just call it the Gojira Scrape. You mute the strings with your fretting hand and then rake across the strings towards to with your picking hand. It’s kinda like a muted harmonic sweep :)
