I got mine because I wanted access to lower notes, but didn't want to sacrifice the higher notes by down tuning. Plus, I really like the way clean stuff sounds in standard tuning. Another reason is that I like to jam along with some of my favorite songs (80's Thrash), and many of those are in standard tuning.

Waiting for my new and first 7 string to arrive now! I've been a half-assed player for the last 5 years or so, playing on occasion but never really expanding my skills. However thanks to 2020 I've been so much more dedicated thanks to excess free time and youtube. I'm a death metal/deathcore player and want the ability to play lower tuned songs, but the more I've researched 7-strings getting prepared for the extra string and found myself exploring the fretboard like never before. Stoked for you videos man, thanks for all the help and pushing my playing.

This is a great video, and your best tip is #7 - don't restrict your playing to just chugging on the low string! I also got mine for compositional purposes but it helped that I'd been playing a 5 string bass in a prog metal band for 4 years. I'd been writing a lot on that bass and I got sick of detuning my guitar so I got a Mark Holcomb signature PRS which I love!

When I started listening to Carcass, Hypocrisy and other 7 string bands at that time, I became obsessed with buying one. I have 7 string Ibanez RG1527 (made in Japan) and it's absolutely fantastic. The whole point for a 7 string, is that it gives you total different chords. It might take a while to adjust and get used to it, but it's absolutely amazing.

@@jasonstallworth OK Jason I have a question. My primary amp is a Marshall Origin 15W. I'm thinking it's not the right amp for the 7 string as the low string gets super muffled and distorted. Any tips on the right amps for low grinding metal? Or even some amp/pedal settings you find that work well? I started playing metal when I was 14 - all on solid state amps but now in my 40's I play all genres. Jazz, blues and rock sound amazing on the Marshall but I'm wondering if the tube amp isn't for metal. What do you think? For reference I'm looking for a sound like 'Burn" by In This Moment. Solid, low, percussive fury...

Jason i have been following you for some time now. And i think you are the best person to answer my question. right i`l get straight to the point, ive just turned 50 and probably bought 6 guitars over the last 30 years and each time had them for a few months then sell because i felt i was getting nowhere, but recently i have tried again and bought a schecter hellraiser c-1 6 string and man i love it has the split emgs pickups, i can play some basic chords and now bits of songs but its only now its finally starting to sink in and improving slowly! but more than ever before. so hope your still with me and not fell asleep!!! so here's the thing I'm 6`7" rocking 19st my sound im after is like carcass/paradise lost so im torn on which guitar to go for next ? So 7 string or 6 string baritone!!!!! so if you're in my shoes what would you pick and why Jason it would just help to know your opinion if possible? Keep the cool content coming,,,, Stay safe & Peace out in these dark days..

Dude, it's hard to say! I have many 7 string videos on my channel (I even have a playlist for 7 string lessons and tips!)...but I'm considering parting ways with mine. I've had it for over four years, have recorded an album and many projects with it, but it just doesn't feel like 'home' if that makes sense. But it may indeed be a great fit for you, especially wanting to play the styles you mentioned! And being tall, you probably have a lot better reach for a 7 string than I do, and I think that has played a role in my decision here.

Hi Jason. Thanks for a another great video. I stumbled upon your channel awhile ago and I must say you have helped me a lot. A year ago I picked up playing guitar again after a long break. And I have played regularly ever since, mostly autistic. I have played a lot when I was younger so I didn’t have to start al over. As a reward if I continued playing I would get me an electronic guitar and amp. Which I did( an Ibanez GRG121DX and a Boss Katana MKII). I absolutely love playing the electric guitar, metal all the way. With a lot of help from your videos. So I am already planning to upgrade to a better guitar. I love the sound of 7- and 8-string guitars(Meshuggah), the heavier the better. So my question is if I should go for a 7 string for my next guitar? I know I have just started my guitar journey. But I wouldn’t mind playing just 6 strings on the 7 string for a long time just to get used to the feeling and then start slowly adding the 7th string What do you think? Any help is appreciated. All the best from Sweden.
@jasonstallworth 3 жыл бұрын
Dude, thanks for supporting my channel and glad my videos are helping! My initial thoughts are to have you keep hammering away on the 6 string and get really comfortable and proficient with that...maybe another 6 months of solid and dedicated practice. Then make the jump into the 7 string world.

Awesome coverage of things to consider on a 7 string. I've contemplated one, but haven't seriously looked. Google suggested a "best 7 string" article which after reading I quickly came here. I'd love to try some of that just down and extra dirty B string one day, but might have to offload an existing guitar to do so. One question: have you played other 7 strings and if so how much would you say the very nice ESP E-II has helped with your choice to keep it or just playability in general? They're more expensive than any of my other guitars , but I've got a Ibanez Prestige and there is something about it that's just beautiful to play. And think we have to say Keep it EXTRA metal with a 7 string 🤘🤘🤘🤘

I think 7-strings are much better than 8 strings as well as 6 strings. They don’t feel as daunting as an 8-string but it doesn’t feel too gigantic to where 6-strings end up feeling like little toys. Also, most songs for 8-strings (Meshuggah, AAL) can be very easily played on a 7-string.
