Watch Jared Dines and Stevie T deliver multiscale mayhem in Djent 2019 video
Two men, 38 strings, one excessively low-pitched instrumental
Back in 2018 YouTuber Jared Dines introduced his 18-string, Tasmanian-blackwood-and-stone-top Ormsby guitar, which was subsequently bested by fellow video star Stevie T, who unveiled his own 20-string black walnut model built by Chinese company 10s.
Now, the electric guitar players' not-so-serious battle of one-upsmanship may have reached its zenith – or, depending on your viewpoint, nadir – with the new Djent 2019 video, in which the two men engage in head-to-head multiscale warfare.
“Your reign ends now,” Stevie T says.
“It takes more than two extra strings to be a djent god,” counters Dines.
Let the battle begin.
