So, on a 7 or 8 string guitar, they've added a lower, or two lower strings? Do you still need a bass guitar anymore?
Absolutely you need a bass! Added lower strings. Makes the possibilities endless with any type of music. 7 strings can go BEADGBE or any tuning combo you wish. The 8 strings are FBEADGBE but many tune the 8th to a F#. 7 and 8 strings are well used in Jazz also. Here is a master of the 7 string, 8, 12, 10, and beyond.
