How many coders, devs, programmmers, IT peeps, technical design folks are also musicians and/or seriously in pursuit of music lifelong? Curious to know as for more than 30 years in tech I see a lot of crossover.

And you with the 7 string. Such a curiosity to me, as is 9 string as they came about later in my life. I knew from 6 and 12, alt tunings, and no gearhead interest which appears to be gender related. I just didn't relate it wasn't that anybody stopped me from going down that road.

I like the low tones with added string. I'll probably get an 8 eventually, but I want to get better first.

Utterly coil. Is the low end the attraction for you? Do you get heavy into gear, effects as well as technique?

Cool that is. Is it range do you think that drives general interest in 7-9 string electrics?

I haven't really gotten into guitar gear very much. I do have high end headphones and speakers. I don't find very many things relaxing, but there's something about the sound and vibrations of playing a guitar. I am more expressive than technical just like in the rest of life.

It's powerful that you know that about yourself. It shows self-awareness which I posit informs much of the ability to understand nuance of perception, real v hyperreal. You get the physical benefit too. That lone Buckethead interview and realigning physical pain reveals similar.

I think the range is a big part of it for most. You can express heavier things when necessary or play something deep and relaxing.
