@@CFH603 back in the day in Russia there were seven string guitars that were tuned in a different way to normal guitars so it made them sound different. And the new 7strings aren't only for metal. I've seen jazz musicians use even 9 string guitars because it's good to have a higher range on your guitar and it can make you sound better if you know how to use it
@@CFH603 my point was that most people don't buy 7-8-9 string guitars just for chugging. But yes it is just adding more bass notes. You can't really go higher because thinner strings break easily
yeah, it's like every guitar magazine review is a bunch of blues and some box chords or triads. They go like "Today we have this metal machine with EMG pickups, a pure black finish with actual virgin blood used to paint some of the decals, it comes with 12-62 strings from the factory, it's shaped like a weapon and sounds like pure evil" *proceeds to play blues licks in E standard on a Fender 65 clean channel*
Nothing irrites me more than watching people review thrbLprn signature models and them not playing a f$#@&ng Korn song. Or worse yet.. Changing the tuning immediately...🙄
Basically every single guitar review that I look up on YT. Even if it's a single pickup metal Axe with an EMG81 in the bridge, they always play the same old boring blues licks and chords.
dawg i was always a 6 string player, sold my SG cuz i needed money then about 7 months after got a ibanez 7 string, instantly tuned it to drop f# and been loving it ever since
I love my schecter damein platinum 7. If I want to play ANYTHING I grab it because it's the only guitar I own that feels comfortable and just wright. I think I will now buy 7-8 string guitars from now on. Or maybe a baritone 6 string so I have the same scale length.
Lol so true. The first song I learned on my 7 string was "Bent Backwards & Broken" by CC. But since back than I still relied on tabs, I learned it about 1/4 faster than the original. lol And I actually could play it at altered speed. I love the challenge of shredding on a 7 string, only to go back on a regular 6 string & get overwhelmed how it feels much easier since the bridge is smaller. Check out Bucketheads Woods of Suicide, Final Wars, Worms for the Garden. Thats a worthy challenge for a 7 string.
Ugggghhhh I feel this! I recall a demo of the signature head and cab used by Dimebag... was just open G and A chords with a lil minor pentatonic thrown in. Absolutely killed me.
I started out playing music with metal or grungey chops, but i play more mellow now with metal undertones. I always wanted a 7 string to find new beautiful, haunting chords!
So over the 7 and 8 string etc fad. I play in an alternate Drop B on my 6 string PRS and achieve what I need on the higher strings with solos and leads and just use a pedal if for whatever reason I do one more on the high end. Not like I’ll ever be a Steve Vai anyway haha 😆🤘💀🤘🎸
It's best to just keep your mind open to a 7, when you first get one... When I found mine, I first figured out to regard it as a 'baritone' tuned to B, but with an additional high E. So: the G string is actually tuned a half step lower to F#. And further in I started using drop-A and drop-D on the lowest strings. But I'm not really fixed on any one tuning anyway, I use multiple tunings on various guitars - like Robert Fripp's New Standard Tuning, or Nick Drake's... It just depends on what I'm aiming for sonically.
I feel like I would treat a 7 string the same I do a whammy. I forget it's there, then I go "oh I should use it" and I do for 30 sec, realize I have no clue what I'm doing and then quietly go back to what I was doing.
Unashamedly when I get writer's block, I will just jam out some dminor blues riff till inspirations strikes... Which is normally somewhere I can't record a voice note to myself or have my guitar nearby 😂
Man this is true when you are trying to get a good metal review on damn near anything guitar and bass related lol. I just want to hear how the thing chugs so I can determine if it’ll start a mosh pit or not
Jokes aside the thing I found weird was the tuning. In terms of my 6 and 7 string being tuned completely different, and so scales are totally different when you swap from one to the other. Isn’t hard it just becomes a mind f*ck a little bit.
It gets even worse when they start playing some flaccid hard rock riffs with an angry bee swarm tone and think that it sounds metal.
Yessssss

Ha that’s accurate 😂🤣😂🤣
E standard is evil as fuck
So specific but I still felt it
Horrific and so accurate 😅🤣🤣🙃
God i fucking hate that😂 boomers cant jam and the review every amp the same way with blues licks

I CAN'T HEAR YOU
I'm tuning the B to an A and start 30 minutes of random slipknot songs
I do that but with a six, lol. I hate tuning it down and up and down and up and so on
i rather knot on a 6 string, not to mention you wouldn’t be in tune just dropping to 7 string drop A
Pfft most of their good songs are in B you stooge
@@vexedpixels tune the g down half a step and you’re good
@@nos4me if you have a 25.5 inch or 24.75 such as a Matt heafy model you could probably pull drop b off on a 7 string

What was the first riff you played? @@JamieSlays
Reviews a 7 string proceeds to play soft rock and some blues licks.
2 years late but THATS LITERALLY THE JOKE
i was half expecting wonderwall
🤣 yesssss
*cough* guitarworld *cough* this is so true, it’s a bloody 7 string, play the low b…if you wanna play blues get a 6 string strat…🤣🤣
🤣
Even better, at least drop the low B to an A… I feel like that’s the bare minimum 😂
I even always play evil riffs on my strat
The guitar that does everything!!!!!
DAMN THAT WAS A SICK RIFF!!!
The one at the start was prettty good, too.
thought it was gonna end with you hammering the low b for fun haha. You do nail this format though
Same

If someone removed the 5 highest strings on my 7-string I’d be like “that’s fine”
😂 🤦♂️
Chugs only 😈
That’s what max calavera does with his 6 strings
As an owner of a 7 strings guitar, i have to say: this is absolutely true! uhauuahuha

For a second he played chop suey
It's the Barbie dolls on the wall for me.
Literally my first week of getting a seven string and bringing it to jam session. Completely ignored the new string for the entire time 😂
I handed my grandpa my headless seven string and he started playing blues on it 🤦♂️

cool gramps

So true. Like wtf how do I judge it on open chords nonsense
Tuned to A Standard, with "Are You Ready?" Burned into its mind.
Honestly one of the truest videos I've seen you do. I own 27th string guitars and I play the 7th string about 3% of the time.
My pa got 7 string guitar. He ain’t no metal dude. He cut the 7th string off 💀💀
Bro 😭
Why tf would he cut it off that's the whole point of the 7th string 😢
Ugggghhhh I feel this! I recall a demo of the signature head and cab used by Dimebag... was just open G and A chords with a lil minor pentatonic thrown in.
Absolutely killed me.
i made this mistake at first lol, getting a 7 string just to use it as a 6 string. of course i don’t do it anymore but i frown upon myself for that
Hell yeah that riff was killing
Personally I like seven string humbuckers for their power. It really makes the low E have that sound I am looking for but can’t get on 6 string pups.
*we’re looking at you, Paul*
The expectation kind of sound like the band “vampireCunt”
Funny enough, I picked up a 7 string just to try one out yesterday, and that is exactly what I did 😅
You played the boomer riffs
This is definitely true when I get a 7 string I'm going to learn korn song.
I need a midi controller or a 7 string. I just want a 7 string more xD
Love the shirt
I started out playing music with metal or grungey chops, but i play more mellow now with metal undertones. I always wanted a 7 string to find new beautiful, haunting chords!
I was expecting the Blind riff on reality 😂
Spot fucking on dude
This is extremely accurate
I had to comfort my ibanez 7 string on the second video and tell her its only a video gave her a djent she purred happily back to sleep
Not sure if he was going for the Jonathan Davis look with the glasses, hair in a bun and the cannibal corpse shirt 🤷♀️
Every. Goddamn. Time.
The first one is literally me lmfao
Whatever you played first reminds me of some old school Chelsea Grin, Desolation of Eden type vibes.
Tbf I find it weird that people buy seven whole strings and only use the top 2
The problem I have with 7 and 8 string bands is there's sooo much real estate to work with but people just drone the open string.
i didnt buy a 7 string until i had a list of like 30 songs i wanted to learn that were on 7, just so i knew id actually use it😂😂
Man, your pinch harmonics are from other planet. Great job
i feel attacked of how accurate this is
Man I need more medley videos
I barely know how to play 6 strings, if id add one more I would start crying lol 😅
omfg that sounds so good
Those pinch harmonics were nasty
The man bun gives him +5 shredding power.

Lol it’s versatile. You can use it as a low tuned metal chug machine, or you could use it as an extended range 6 string. Lol
The world in your hands
Holy shit 😂 accurate
Anyone else notice the badass collection of DB characters he’s got in the back?
I just bought that same Cannibal Corpse shirt, coming between December 29th - January 4th
I feel personally attacked, cause I got a 7 string and I basically just play 6 string stuff
When I first heard the opening note to reality, I thought you were gonna play the Better Call Saul
I fkg love guitar
That was insane
That was funny 😆 imagining myself doing exactly like it if I get one

Dude that sounded so heavy🤘🎸💀
All it's missing is either a slightly crunchy tone or metalzone distortion
If im gonna buy a 7 string ill play KoRn of anything
When the expectation is literally reality lmao
I saw the same stuff during 8 string reviews. They guys there played minor pentatonic riffs, but an octave lower 😂
Since i suck at theory i need a 7 string chord diagram.
I haz that fret wrap.

Tuned so low I can hear the strings smash against the guitar :) 🤙🤙
I need that Dragonball POP collection!!
Every time without failure lol
How about when guitar center had Lady Gaga's guitarist, who doesn't play 7 strings, demo the Schecter Reaper 7
I watched the Reaper 6 demo with him, I like his playing style tbh… I’ll check out the Reaper 7 review
what is that first riff?
I want to know as well.
Probably just some random chuggin
"Expectation" sounds like Psychosocial by Slipknot

You can do both the brutal stuff AND the standard stuff.
Bruh yeah. I just got an agile 7 to dive into extended range and I just play it like I would on a 6
Gets 7 string, proceeds to play sweet child o mine 😂😂😂
If they reviewed a 7 string with this tone, I'd never pick it up.
Your reality is my expectation
Yup. lol The band plays death metal but i noodle around with a poor excuse for fusion on 7’s at home 🤷🏻♂️
It really sounds like cheyne stokes when you start playing
Man this is true when you are trying to get a good metal review on damn near anything guitar and bass related lol. I just want to hear how the thing chugs so I can determine if it’ll start a mosh pit or not

For a second I thought I heard Nothing Else Matters solo when he switched to reality.
“We gotta review a 7 string? Alright get Bobby to play a few AC/DC licks with the worst tone you’ve ever heard, that’ll be perfect.”
I see you got the ola Jackson

Play walk and domination breakdown on low tuning
Duuude lol this is so dang accurate haha
Pls do a SOAD tone video
Also works with guitar with trem like, i wanna hear the trem but it just Keep intouched
Getting my first 7 string in couple of weeks… i’m afraid that this is probably going to happen😂
but... how? if i wanted to do that stuff id just use my 6 string...
