DREAM THEATER - AWAKEN THE MASTER | 8 String Guitar Cover

One of my favorite songs of the new record for sure ! This song inspired me to play my 8 string in a differnt way. It ticks many boxes, technically challenging topped with tasteful solos and tone in signature Petrucci fashion. In order to achieve the right tone (to my ears) and play it more effortlessly I used a set of 9-42 and 58-74 gauge for the strings. I wish major brands make it available as a set one day. let me know whats your otimal 8 string set on a 27“ standard scale length !
