I sit in drop G or drop G# most of the time. Fun little tuning trick: drop tune your 2nd string a 1/2 step above your 3rd string. You can do some very fun slide dissonant things!
I've been REALLY digging Tesseract tuning as well: G#-F-A#-D#-F-A#-D#!
@@ryan-dxpooo I'll have to give that a try!
Dudes got a Holcomb, Misha, and Rishardson signature series... oh yeah.. I'll listen to what he has to say 😂❤ #Goals
After having mine for a few months I am now perpetually stuck in drop G with standard tuning. Still getting my Killswitch engage harmonies but with Chelsea grin drops.
I don't think I can ever play a 6 string again. Not some elitist thing. I just love the 7 so much.
Same here, the 7 just feels better to play as well with shorter string spacing and wider neck. I'm in drop A but use pitch shifting to go low.
@@WoWMinGMHey man, what pedal are you using to droptune?
@@eddyray666 i use Neural DSP Petrucci. But right now I have thicker strings on my guitar so it’s in drop F# so I use pitch shifting much less often.
I was gonna buy a Digitech Drop pedal though, they seem great too.
Back a long time ago, I was a 6-string player. Then I got into heavier music and found out they used 8 stringed guitars. So, naturally I tried one out and it was like a completely different instrument. Not only in tone, but the feeling as well. I figured it was simply too big and not right for me. So, then I tried a 7 string. Instantly fell in love. Super comfortable to play, and I found out if you drop the low B to an A, you get your dropped tuning as well while keeping standard tuning. This is the part that really stuck out because I constantly switched between dropped and standard. To me, it makes the most musical sense to drop your 7 string down and I haven't looked back. I will never buy a 6 string again. Perhaps I'll try out an 8 string again one day to find that it's much more comfortable now that I'm used to the 7 string. I'll do the same thing with it, too. Lowest string at E, the rest in standard unless I want to use drop A. Then it's just a matter of drop tuning the low B. Again, to me this makes the most musical sense.
If you do get used to an 8, you should progress to a 9 and then a 10 for shits and giggles
Great job man, extremely helpful vids. Subscribed, done!
Thank you so much for making more 7 string content!
Would love to see a video of scales and chords with the 7 string. Please keep it up!

Jackson kills the headstock game, theyre just so clean, and so is that paintjob! Theyve really stepped up their game over the past few years
i think schecter has best 7 string headstock
We play in drop C on our sixes. These days, I use a double drop on my 7 string (and buy 8 string sets for it, using the bottom three and top four).
It's tuned FCGCFAD. It's a monster.
Such a huge help thank you brotha!
love the thumbnail haha
7 strings quickly became my favourite type of guitar after getting my first one. I once threw some hectic fat strings (like 0.74-0.14 or something) on my ibanez gio 7 and managed to hit drop F with a minor truss rod adjustment.
Meshuggah time 😀
Great video dude - thanks for that!
The breakdown of 7 string that we noobs need. Thank you! 🙏
Full step down on my 7 string Schecter Hellraiser for those Korn jams 🤘
love the channel, great tips and just the right amount of sarcasm! might even subscribe.
Still getting used to mine, so standard b. Love the videos man!
I love the green fret wrap with the orange finish!
You're tellin' me!
I use mine tuned to A,D,A,D,G,B,E. My vocalist for the band sings best in drop d, so i utilize the low a for intros, breakdowns,etc.
Thinking of using this in a song I love the more metalcore drop D, but then I have access to big drop A chugs
Just got my first 7 (black version of the orange Jackson in the video) and struggling because I normally play in drop D/drop C. Been in drop A with the E, but I'm gonna try this! Thanks for the comment!
I've been wanting to try the same thing with drop B having the 7th string in F#
I just put my Jackson Dinky 7 string in A standard this morning.
I'm a recent 6-string convert. A standard is my tuning, and always will be. It just feels...right.
The Korn tuning.
Me too. Beyond creation inspired that for me
🤘 Bad Motor Finger. I need too pick one of these up asap!
Interesting I got about two Jacksons from you and I just bought a 7 today and I'm make vide go live later Hey Ryan it's August I love a 6 and 7 ..........Dear Friend
Awesome
Nice!
Drop F# on a Schecter Reaper 7 multiscale. No rhyme or reason other than 2 of my absolute favorite guitar players abuse that tuning lol. Jesse Cash and Mike Stringer. Just got my first 7 string and I’m probably gonna take some lessons. Entirely self taught to this point. Ready to actually get good.
I don't own a 7-string yet and now I learned the 7 string has a low B I always thought it had a high A string dummy me. So needless to say I won't be rushing out to buy a 7-string anytime soon but my favorite alternate 6 string tuning is Dadgad F major 9 and C minor 9 and drop D of course
My tuning has been ADGCFAD over 10 years when I bought my LTD SC-607B. I'm huge Fear Factory fan, that's the reason :D
what strings do you use for that tuning?
Coming from a largely Jazz background, my "standard" tuning is basically the same as your PRS tuning; only up a half step/tone. I find it easier to play bigger chord voicings that your other two examples don't allow. Of course this does make using all 7 strings in a lead context a bit more challenging, but there are trade-offs in every tuning. I have also experimented with Open G and a combined 4th/5th tuning. (Lowest 3 strings tuned in 5ths, highest 4 tuned in 4ths with the 4th and 5th strings a minor 3rd apart. Low to high: G,D,A,C,F,Bb,Eb.) These latter two aren't very conducive to lead playing, but give some awesome chord voicings.
Just put fluence fishman Stephen carpenter pickups in my Jackson and have been playing in drop g really fun and heavy!
Thank you.. not so easy to find this type of explanation of a 7 string
How do you like your Jackson misha ht7? Any downside on that guitar?
I'm planning to get this exact model but was looking for an Ibanez rga742fm as well.
Which one do you recommend?
Thank you.
i got my 7 string a little less than a year ago and i have ashamedly not used it as much as i should have.
i keep it standard because when i do pick it up i've been trying to learn Whales by Scale the Summit, also its a 25.5in scale length ibanez so i've been warned against too much down tuning without changing the intonation, although i'm sure i can do a half step down.
yeah ♥
My 7 string is in Drop A and then I use the transpose feature on the kemper to drop down into G,F, E etc
There's an issue about dropping low tuning: the string starts to buzz. We have to adjust the strings action and sometimes it gets too far from the fretboard.
Next video idea: teach me how to choose the kind of right string gauge for djent style of riifs?

Interesting video. One question ❓ I was always curious about tuning a seven string electric guitar into this tuning. D E B E G# B E Try tuning up the seventh string into D, and the rest into open E tuning. 😊
Question, I'm looking at getting a Ibanez q527pb headless 7 string that is 25.5 scale length and i want to tune it to the band Volas tuning which is F#BEADF#B. Is that to short of a scale guitar to do that with?
I play a multi scale Ibanez axon label I tune it basically half step down with a drop G #Flat, then I drop the E flat to C sharp
Im personally in ❤ with drop A. Drop D on a 6 is too much fun. I like having the standard E tuning with the A. I get BOTH!? 🤘That's just metal AF in my eyes. 🎸 I get the whole 1 finger laziness of it. Just don't do that. 😅
Really like your shorts. No, not your actual clothing. Nevermind. 🎸🎶👍
My 7 string is in a very odd tuning. BEAC#F#BE, aka Open B11(no3). (Note: BEADGBE is Open Bm7add11#5.) This allows me to do some pretty tasty, big chords using 6 or 7 strings, without altering things so dramatically that I can't play regular major or minor chords.
"Hey man, how do you tune your seven string?"
"Oh, this one? It's in Open Bm7add11#5."
@@bennymountain1 , you don't know how to construct chords? You ought to know exactly what notes are in Bm7add11#5.
Of course you do (because I listed them above). But c'mon. It's basic music theory, bro!
I love to use drop f#
What gauge strings are you using on the juggernaut for half step down? I have the juggernaut also and usually keep it in drop A with the factory string gauges but going any lower is a bit too floppy for me.
I'm using 9s (as I like light gauge), but on the other guitars that drop below that tuning, I shift to the 10s for sure!
I clicked this on a whim; we have the same guitars dude 😂
Good video! In the last tuning (A standard) what string gauge you use? Or what gauge works in the 26.5 scale guitar? Thank you
To me a 59 in A at 27" feels amazing.
For 26.5" 60-62 is probably very similar.
My Jackson is 26.5. It's in standard A, and it has 60-10's.@@josuastangl7140
This might be stupid to ask, but what's the name of the noise like in 1:58? everybody especially in heavier genre uses it but I have no idea what to search if I want to learn the technique
I think it's just a string scratch... You can slide your down the scale for the same effect
What is that riff it sounds awesome and familiar
my 7 string is usually in drop F# and that thing chunks so much i play it all the time and now i have a hard time going back to 6 string guitar
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey!
I'm surprised not to see the DADGAD-tuning equivalent for a 7-string!
Have you ever tried it out?
What is the fabric thing around your locking nuts
For people who cant mute properly.
2:47 that is so after the burial
My fav Band ever.❤❤❤
@@GaryIstAltMan ME TOO MAN LOL!!! Thank you for posting good content dude keep it up 👍
Hey. That last tuning on the ernie ball guitar was ADC……. Then whats the rest?? 👀
A-DGCFAD 👍🏽
mark wholecum
Serj, why did you gain a bit of weight and became a very happy person?
Tune up to C if you a real playa
C F A# D# G# C F
Diary of Jane... Amma right?
What is that riff?
Which is the easiest to play, so many seem awkward - too wide.
I always enjoy whatever the heck this tuning is.
GDADGBE
I think that's right. I put the lower 6 strings into drop D and then double drop the B string on top of that so its drop tuned in relation to what is now the D. Easy big sounds.
But I suck so it was actually probably terrible.
Drop A
Drop f# for me
Drop A# to me is the king
Roast me. I buy 7-string sets, toss the high B and slap 'em on a 6 string guitar.
I *rarely* see someone on a 7 or 8 mess around with the high string on it anyway. Case and point.. this video :)
People buy these guitars with too many strings on them and then tune them even lower. 🤣
Go back to your ukulele 🎉
@@FireCampSecurity I could play stuff on an ukulele that's heavier and more Metal than anything you've ever done.
Mine hit the ground and doesn’t seem to have much physical damage, but makes a grindy sound on all strings on the first fret only. I’ve replaced all strings and don’t know what’s up. Do I adjust the bridge?
Can you tune drop B on a 7 string?
