      There’s a couple penta licks throughout their catalog. Usually interspersed with more spicy stuff so it hits different. Javier the other guitar player is really good with more soulful stuff like that as well

      I love Tosin, but his sound is just a lot of well established classical concepts that used to be as popular as pop music is now. If anything, I view him like a musical historian breathing new life into old concepts.

      @@reboooot lol you can say that about any musical concept, that all artists are just breathing new life into what has already been established, but there has not been another musician in history that has propelled so many other musicians to take up a number of diverse techniques and approaches to an instrument like Tosin has. "historians" don't inspire like that. Pioneers do.

      @AlexRamosDrTaz ปีที่แล้ว +3

      My guess is Tosin wanted to present something a bit more approachable for anyone new to his design aesthetic. He probably was curious to see if he could work out something with one less string on it LOL. If there's enough demand I'm sure an eight string model will come to the market.

    • @Baribrotzer
      @Baribrotzer ปีที่แล้ว

      Robert Fripp's been doing that one for fifty years.
      And Tosin already does it as well: Although he dresses like a rock star - an understated one - he doesn't really seem to act like it. For him, as for Fripp, it's all about the music and he does the Big Time Music Biz stuff reluctantly or not at all.

    The music in this demo is so wonderful. I also love everything about this guitar except the scale length. I dream of owning a 7 string multi-scale guitar with a non-locking tremolo. I love the look and design of this guitar, but it's too short for my taste. If it was 25.5" to 26.5" for the low string, it would be perfection.

    I mean I get why ppl want a longer scale and tbh Id like to see it atleast a 26.5 on the bass side but people play the hell out of the petrucci guitars and as well as many others at 25.5 and it's never really seemed to be that big of a deal. I get people have a preference but to say this guitar is useless due to the scale length is a little much. That being said I still got a pre-order of the spectra flare color just because 🤣 (I regretted it immediately due to the price)
