All these people saying 'you don't need 7 strings to play this song' you need the scale length to play in this tuning. Common sense people!
@theblizzard327 жыл бұрын
iNattty Not relevant as you can get greater scale length 6 strings. Main reason a lot of these bands like 7 is because of greater range, and flexibility with these lower tunings. I would also guess that convenience plays a part, as greater scale length 6 strings aren't always at GC for the casual player; or for sale on most websites without going custom (Agile/Rondomusic being an exception).

Scale length has nothing to do with the number of strings. I have several 7 strings with 25.5' scale lengths, that's still the standard. Anything longer is "extended scale". 26.5", 27", 28" and so on.. So they just need a 2 string, extended scale length guitar. Done.

Whitechapel's live lead guitarist, Ben Savage, also didnt come and do this playthrough, which is why they don't actually play the solo. Alex and Zack probably don't know it.

I'm just saying that if it's a 3 guitar track, they shouldn't grab both rhythm parts for a video dedicated to showcasing the guitar work of the song. That said, this isn't really the kind of music I listen to anyway so I was already sort of "meh" about it so take my opinions with a grain of salt haha

They have LTD sig models since the market for LTD's is much larger as they are cheaper. Obviously, White Chapel and LTD will sell more sig models than an ESP model. So they play "LTD''s" which I'm sure are hand picked and sent through the ESP USA custom shop before the artists receive it. This makes LTD seem "legit" and thus, they sell more guitars. $$$$$$

@NehemiahHughes8 жыл бұрын
Songs are usually recorded with a left panned rhythm guitar part, a right panned rhythm guitar part (played to harmonize the left in some spots for musicality) and a lead guitar panned in the center. Having 3 guitarist allows a band to play live all the sounds recorded in the studio effortlessly. So the sound on the CD is the sound you hear live. However, Periphery would be better example for this, as they actually have different parts for all 3 guitarists. Whitechapel really only needs 2 guitarists as most of the left and right rhythm are duplicated.
