Sarah Longfield: Seymour Duncan - 8-String Shred Alert

Sarah Longfield can probably beat you up on guitar – and will use two more strings doing it. Since starting on the piano early and switching to guitar at the age of 12, Sarah’s interests have widened to include drums and keyboards. After learning the basics on 6-string guitars for a couple of years she transitioned to 7 and finally 8-string guitars as her musical interests turned toward heavy, down-tuned metal. Through her YouTube postings she became friendly with Keith Merrow, who mentored her in the mechanics and subtleties of recording, and encouraged her to write her own music. She’s also now using the Seymour Duncan 8-String Blackout active pickups in her guitars! I recently had a chance to speak with Sarah about her guitar-craft.
