The Story of My 7 String Guitar

Музыка

My 7 string guitar has a really fun story behind it! Today I wanted to share it again for those who missed it previously and play some riffs :)
I'm wearing a BODA SKINS leather jacket in this video: bodaskins.us.com/products/wom..., thanks to ‪@Bodaskins‬ for sending it out to me!

    I remember when you got that, I thought it was cool af that you got up there and allowed yourself to have a good time. It definitely wouldn't have been in my comfort zone either so it's inspiring to see people take the chances I wouldn't and for them to pay off. Cool you got the back glossed, it was totally worth whatever it cost. Good stuff! :)

    7 string guitars are awesome the way you show case your guitars is quite inspiring don't be embarrassed for having it, i have an ibanez that has 7 strings as well and i can't use it standing up because its abit heavy so i had to use it while sitting down and honestly im loving it.

    Consistency is key. And if it's one thing I've found you consistently acheive in your videos is great string breakage timing! Maybe not constant, but it's consistent. And that's all the universe asks. 😅

    When I first started playing guitar again some folks gave some advice that I should start playing again on a Classical guitar. I bought a Cordoba guitar with nylon strings. It sounds great but the E string can break just siting there looking at me. Finally I learned to just loosen all of the strings when I put the guitar up. I do not play it much anymore. I enjoy my electric guitars more. I can barely play six strings so I don't want to try a seven string guitar yet athough I tried a 7 string JP-15 at sweetwater in Indiana. You should go to sweetwater in Indiana you might find it fun.

    When I saw Delain, Sonata Arctica, and Nightwish on tour together back in 2017 or so, I noticed that both Delain's and Sonata Arctica's guitarists were using 7 strings. You don't really need a 7 for those songs; most of it can be done on a detuned 6. In my last band (a country band), we were looking at learning some songs with some really low guitar parts. Usually those are played on 6 string guitars tuned down, but they sound great on a 7 too, and then you still have all the high notes. My favorite 7-string guitarist is Charlie Hunter, but NOTHING he plays is easy!

    Pretty cool RIFFAGE. That's a killer guitar Ibanez has flat necks they're good for shredding and playing metal. You wanted to play seven string I suggest playing some Korn or Meshuggah. Possibly a little bit of periphery with Misha Mansoor! Sure you will dig those bands... Keep up the good work sounds like you're on your way....🎉
