Gasp! When we were young, albeit decades ago, we knew of 6 string electric guitars, 6 string acoustic. Then there is the 4 string bass Oh there were 12 string acoustic guitars as well. 
Recently however, we discovered that there are 5 string and 6 string bass guitars . Our daughter being our educator!
Now, however, we come to know of eight-string guitars! Most intriguing. Does this mean we have to relearn our chords?
