Chords for 8 String Guitar Rig for $450 that doesn't COMPLETELY SUCK!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Hey everybody, how's it going?
So I'm still at Henning's place here in Germany
And we got talking about what could we possibly do for an interesting bang for the buck style video and what I got right here
is a Harley Benton
eight string guitar from the wonderful people at Tolman and
these guys
Managed to get this guitar and put it together for 150 euros, correct?
Okay, Henning's kind of out of the shot at the moment.
He's just kind of nodding
It is called the R458 if I'm not mistaken.
R458.
Bye.
Bye
Okay, we will put links in the description below where you guys can get your hands on this
But I gotta say for 150 bucks
It's a lot more guitar than you could have got when I was a kid.
Let's put it that way the hundred dollar hundred and fifty dollar guitarist
_ Back in the 80s were absolute shit
And this is actually a pretty half decent instrument
Especially considering what they're asking for for the Americans in the audience that's gonna translate to about a hundred and eighty
$185
_ Now we've made this rig a little more interesting now, you [N] know, you guys have seen me tear apart a line six spider
Which is like a $200 amp
We've got some better choices here.
First up
We've got a real cabinet instead of that piece of shit speaker that line six gave you in their spider
This is the Harley Benton 1 by 12 cabinet that has an actual Celestion vintage 30 in it
So we're talking a real cabinet with a real speaker and one that you can record and it's going to sound good
And if I can get a close-up on the amp, please
That is the joyo bent amp.
This is the zombie model
it's a 20 watt solid-state amp in the power section, but it has a tube preamp and
It's actually a snarly little motherfucker.
And what are these retail for?
to my 169 euro
169 years so the whole package guitar amp and cabinet is
410 [G] 420 euros, so we're talking for 54 60 something 450 [F#] $460 us
And the cool thing is you can get it shipped to the States for a grand total of 50 euros
And the thing is if you see a few more things
On the site that you want to get you can add it in the package
It's not going to cost you [F] anything extra, which is really cool
I think there's like a 30 kilo limit which is about 65 US pounds
So you can stack a lot of things into a package and get it shipped to the States for dirt freaking cheap
Anyway, I'm gonna hand the guitar over to Henning here.
We're gonna take a listen
I'm just a little clean stuff to start I suppose.
Yep.
I'm gonna have to fiddle with the too many strings on here
But we're gonna [B] go
_ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [A] And we have no pedals on this what's nope _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [E] _ [A] _ _ [B] _
_ [E] The wrong string yeah, that's _ _ _ because the Hennings not used to playing with something so big
[A] My wait, where's West [G#] here here right right there right there this is
[C] _ _ _ [D] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
[G#] _ _ _ [F#m] This is
_ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ [F#m] _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Very [D] nice.
Yeah, okay.
Well, let's crank it up a little bit and let's see what we get here
We're gonna throw it on the high gain channel here, [G#] and yeah, just bear in mind
I mean like obviously this isn't a full-on rig for studio recording
It'll do the trick sure
but this isn't gonna be my first choice to record in the studio who this is for is
for somebody working in his bedroom or
[Em] Maybe this would be a great Christmas gift or birthday present that kind of thing for a kid who wants to learn how to play guitar
We're not talking a massive investment
Right at the get-go.
Well, if you want to you know, check out the whole eight string extravaganza
Extended range and you're not sure if it's your thing.
Sure your bag of tea bag of chips cup of cup of chips tea
[N] Yes.
Yeah, then you're not you're not dropping a thousand bucks on a string guitar.
You're testing it out for 150 bucks
Sure, absolutely and that makes and that makes perfect sense.
Yeah, so it's definitely
A budget rig, but it's not bad for the amount of money you're putting out
I mean the great thing is you know
Like the cabinets only 99 euros and it's a very good cabinet for the money the speaker itself
If you buy it separately is actually more than that cab with a speaker.
Yeah, I don't know how Toman pulls it off
I know [G#] and this is the thing
I'm like, I'm gonna be checking out the Harley Benton 4x12 on my channel very soon as well
We've been the Harley Benton name has come up time and time and time again on
Many discussions with audio engineers in my field and
Everybody says it's a great recording cab, but the 1 by 12 so far not bad
We've looks like we've got a Sennheiser 609 in front of it and it's pretty interesting tone on the high game
Let's take a look [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
