Greetings, I’m Eric, the creator of 8StringGuitarist.com.
I live in Washington State, and have played guitar most of my life. I have discovered an affinity for the 8-string guitar – it’s an instrument I believe deserves greater recognition and exploration.
The Genesis of 8StringGuitarist.com
This website was born from finding a scarcity of dedicated resources for 8-string guitar players. I found this frustrating as I learned to play my own 8-string guitar.
The internet is packed with information for six-string guitar, and there is good content available about extended range guitars. However what I found is that the eight-string guitar is often overlooked.
This site is my contribution to providing a helpful and comprehensive resource for those drawn to the unique qualities of 8 string guitar.
A Glimpse Into My Musical Ethos
My personal 8 string guitar is a Strandberg Boden Metal NX-8, which to me embodies the essence of what I want to express through my own music. It’s not just a tool, but a partner in the creative process.
My long-standing experience with guitars has taught me this:
The 8-string guitar is not merely an addition of two strings; it represents a paradigm shift in musical expression and technicality.
My Vision for This Platform
At 8StringGuitarist.com, I am committed to offering a comprehensive and insightful exploration into the 8-string guitar.
From in-depth tutorials, information, and guides, along with my own personal insights and experiences, my goal is to build an extensive and authoritative resource.
Please note this site is designed to cater to both newcomers and veterans interested in expanding their knowledge and appreciation of the 8-string guitar community.
An Invitation to a Musical Exploration
I cordially invite you to join me in this journey of musical exploration.
It is my hope that together, we can uncover the full potential of the 8-string guitar, fostering a community of learning, sharing, and mutual growth. Your engagement and contributions will be invaluable in shaping this site into a premier destination for 8-string guitar enthusiasts.
Welcome to 8StringGuitarist.com – a dedication to the art and mastery of the 8-string guitar.
