Nice video Doug! For those who want to understand better the history of counterpoints ( 5:35 - Improvised Bass Lines) I suggest Dino's 7 strings 1992 interview at ruclips.net/video/cmwtxht885g/видео.html ; Dino is recognized as one of the creators of brazilian 7 string samba language and certainly one of the best brazilian guitar players!
I was looking forward to seeing what your contribution to the Semistrunka-or-Russian 7string classical folk guitar conversation would be but as soon as you suggested a tuning based off the 'Standatd(ahem-Should be called "Usurped" or "Catholic")A440 Tuning instead of DGBDgbd @A432 the tuning most widely associated with this particular instrument. My personal choice though is dropCm11^6-CGD#Fa#dg~it has a hauntingly beautiful yet sombre & reserved timbre at the same time resulting in something I find truly unique & powerful for composing or just noodling around. But you'll be hearing more & more Ppl tuning to 432hz instead of 440hz for the simple fact until the late 1800's 432 was symphonic standard & is far softer on our hearing on the whole
I've always thought that once you go to more strings you should have less distance so the strings act more like a drone, Standard : E1 B2 G3 D4 A5 E6 then D7 C8 B9 G10 and then a requinto like a0 treble string on top for string 11. I would love to try this guitar though, it has a punchy sound for rhythm.
I finally reached the point in which I was in a position to buy one of these, but when I went to the website to make the purchase I found that Altamira raised the price rather dramatically overnight. Uuurrrggg, oh, well... I guess I have to settle for a different 7 string.
Hi Doug. Great video and demo. Have you tried tuning the 7th string to D? If I ever get one of these, that’s what I would do ( I think), I’ve always wanted to play in drop D without having to constantly re-tune. I’ve never seen one in any guitar shop.
@@RoadToFuture007 You'd need special strings designed for that tuning made by Aquila. Russain Guys tune their 7 String Guitar to Open G (DGBDGBD) and yes you can play everything from Rolling stones to Black Crowes, you name it in this tuning.

This is the only classical guitar I can use to properly play a Slipknot cover with.

That music has similar chords to the music in super Mario when he eats a star and is in an invincible mode
Haha great catch

Gospel players certainly love the Low B tuning cause they can easily transpose on the fly to fit the ranges of certain singers & instruments.

Magma Strings now has a set of Strings designed for the 7 String
I would add Strap Buttons & a Guitar Strap so that it's easier to hold.
Beautiful. Do you make them left-handed?
Hi Josh. Yes, all our models can be made left handed. You can contact us at info@altamiraguitars.com for more information
This has inspired me so much.. I'm waiting for my seven string to arrive and the low C and B tunings have me so very excited! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I know 7 String Guitars alot, the 7th String is another B String so it's a good extended range Guitar to learn on
You both look and sound like Ben Mendelsohn.
Love the video btw.
Always good to hear Doug play Brazilian music.
Beautiful, excellent ‘lesson’
What strings are you using... particularly the 7th... How low/high is it tuned?
Typically the 7th String is another B String
Wonderful! I think I will tune mine in B, more easy to remember the positions then :)
Yes because the additional String is another B String really easy way to get into the 7 String
Just got a kremona 7 string classical and having a lot of luck drop tuning to a low A. Its really useful
Bucky Pizarelli used that tuning & may he RIP
Who learn Brazilian music never more wants plays other style ♥️♥️♥️♥️
That really is very true, agreed

That High A is the same as a Tenor Guitar
Very versatile you can now play it on a Church Gig
Bravo Doug, I so enjoy your playing!

The Low B tuning is something that Djent Guys use
Rock and Metal Peeps prefer a Low B Too
Djent Guys uses low F on 8 string

I’ve never seen one in any guitar shop.
I just recently bought a 7-string classical guitar, but where do you order strings for it?? I can't find them anywhere!
We recommend the D'Addario 0.58 for the 7th string
@@AltamiraGuitars Magma GCT-7 Strings might work too
Nice...
finally the low c major
is this guitar still in production? How can I get one?
Yes they are in production now and will be ready in November
Belo violão! Que som!
I like the samba triste excerpt in the end. The guitar sounds amazing .. congrats !!!
Wonderful sound. Don't see the 7-string offered on your USA website. Special order only?
Dear Paul. It is on our US website and we have stock in our LA workshop. You can find it here: www.altamiraguitars.com/shop/p/sete-cordas
Got fan fret?
That's coming soon but it would balance out the String tension.
Can you tune it Russian style?
Why not?
