This is a demo of the Agile Renaissance 8 string Classical Guitar.
I've spent the last year deconstructing the Renaissance Lute style of playing so i can improvise the style of music on the spot. These three songs were Improvised recordings done in live takes.
I personally tune my 8 string in the following way:
DAEADGBE. This makes the top 6 strings exactly like a 6 string, so i can switch between 6 and 8 string guitars seemlessly. I tune the 7th string to A, so it has the dropped A tuning always available to me. I tune the 8th string, higher in pitch to a D, so that way I can hit the low D when i am playing in a key based on the D string.
I used very little effects in the recording, only a mild bit of reverb (the guitar has naturally great reverb) and a little bit of EQ to lower the bass frequency.
