Here is a pretty awesome video of some super-technical 8-string shredding from Tosin Abasi. He has an instrumental band called Animals as Leaders. I saw them in Seattle. His ability with the guitar is something that I think very few people would ever achieve.

Is it just me or does his picking hand thumb look double jointed? He's got a serious backwards bend going on there.

Wow weird, I just barely heard about these guys a few days ago, then you come and post this haha. Strange.

Cool video though. Im definitely starting to really like this guy and Animals as Leaders. And yes, his picking thumb looks really odd haha.

If you like Animals as Leaders, check out my good friend tearing up "Song of Solomon" on the drums!
