@@CFH603 back in the day in Russia there were seven string guitars that were tuned in a different way to normal guitars so it made them sound different. And the new 7strings aren't only for metal. I've seen jazz musicians use even 9 string guitars because it's good to have a higher range on your guitar and it can make you sound better if you know how to use it
@@CFH603 my point was that most people don't buy 7-8-9 string guitars just for chugging. But yes it is just adding more bass notes. You can't really go higher because thinner strings break easily
yeah, it's like every guitar magazine review is a bunch of blues and some box chords or triads. They go like "Today we have this metal machine with EMG pickups, a pure black finish with actual virgin blood used to paint some of the decals, it comes with 12-62 strings from the factory, it's shaped like a weapon and sounds like pure evil" *proceeds to play blues licks in E standard on a Fender 65 clean channel*
Nothing irrites me more than watching people review thrbLprn signature models and them not playing a f$#@&ng Korn song. Or worse yet.. Changing the tuning immediately...🙄
Basically every single guitar review that I look up on YT. Even if it's a single pickup metal Axe with an EMG81 in the bridge, they always play the same old boring blues licks and chords.
I love my schecter damein platinum 7. If I want to play ANYTHING I grab it because it's the only guitar I own that feels comfortable and just wright. I think I will now buy 7-8 string guitars from now on. Or maybe a baritone 6 string so I have the same scale length.
dawg i was always a 6 string player, sold my SG cuz i needed money then about 7 months after got a ibanez 7 string, instantly tuned it to drop f# and been loving it ever since
So over the 7 and 8 string etc fad. I play in an alternate Drop B on my 6 string PRS and achieve what I need on the higher strings with solos and leads and just use a pedal if for whatever reason I do one more on the high end. Not like I’ll ever be a Steve Vai anyway haha 😆🤘💀🤘🎸
How heavy u going? Most people should play 10s by default in my opinion for anything that isn’t lower than C but once u get C I’d use 11 A/B 12 but it’s really up to u what u want to use I’d say u can probably use 11 for B A is pushing it 12s u basically can only stay A and B I’ve basically repeated myself this entire time and my personal opinion might be deemed wrong
Lol so true. The first song I learned on my 7 string was "Bent Backwards & Broken" by CC. But since back than I still relied on tabs, I learned it about 1/4 faster than the original. lol And I actually could play it at altered speed. I love the challenge of shredding on a 7 string, only to go back on a regular 6 string & get overwhelmed how it feels much easier since the bridge is smaller. Check out Bucketheads Woods of Suicide, Final Wars, Worms for the Garden. Thats a worthy challenge for a 7 string.
I mean, if you just wanna play chunky drop a, a-sharp, or g rhythm riffs, get a 6 string baritone. To me the whole point of a 7 string is having a wider range so you can play crazy chord shapes and leads while still being able to get the low end.
The dudes who thumbs up the "reality" vid are the same ones who talk crap about guitars with extra strings and then later give the middle finger to guitarists who tune their six lower than 'D'.
I feel like I would treat a 7 string the same I do a whammy. I forget it's there, then I go "oh I should use it" and I do for 30 sec, realize I have no clue what I'm doing and then quietly go back to what I was doing.
Just really depends on how to set up your effects. It will sound just like other normal electric guitar of you only plug it on an overdrive. Amd offcourse your cab really does matter. It's useless to buy this if you don't have a high gain amp
It's also the same thing they do with high-gain pedals. They never show you how it sounds in context of rhythm guitar it's just somebody musically masturbating and you never get to hear the true tone of the pedal
This is the guy that’s my friends boyfriend. Has an extremely slanted 8 string & every clip he’s playing is absolutely garbage blues solos on the 12th fre & just playing terribly. &She’ll sit there & take a video of him labeled “Oh he’s so amazing been listening for two hours” & it’s like “PLINK, PLONGK, out of tune bend that isn’t a bend), (unsuccessful double stop), (starts shaking his hand like he’s using vibrato but isn’t).” I feel bad.
Ugggghhhh I feel this! I recall a demo of the signature head and cab used by Dimebag... was just open G and A chords with a lil minor pentatonic thrown in. Absolutely killed me.
It gets even worse when they start playing some flaccid hard rock riffs with an angry bee swarm tone and think that it sounds metal.
Yessssss

E standard is evil as fuck
So specific but I still felt it
Horrific and so accurate 😅🤣🤣🙃

I CAN'T HEAR YOU
I'm tuning the B to an A and start 30 minutes of random slipknot songs
I do that but with a six, lol. I hate tuning it down and up and down and up and so on
i rather knot on a 6 string, not to mention you wouldn’t be in tune just dropping to 7 string drop A
Pfft most of their good songs are in B you stooge
@@vexedpixels tune the g down half a step and you’re good
@@nos4me if you have a 25.5 inch or 24.75 such as a Matt heafy model you could probably pull drop b off on a 7 string
Reviews a 7 string proceeds to play soft rock and some blues licks.
2 years late but THATS LITERALLY THE JOKE

Yepppppp lol
What was the first riff you played? @@JamieSlays
*cough* guitarworld *cough* this is so true, it’s a bloody 7 string, play the low b…if you wanna play blues get a 6 string strat…🤣🤣
🤣
Even better, at least drop the low B to an A… I feel like that’s the bare minimum 😂
I even always play evil riffs on my strat
i was half expecting wonderwall
🤣 yesssss
i didnt buy a 7 string until i had a list of like 30 songs i wanted to learn that were on 7, just so i knew id actually use it😂😂
The guitar that does everything!!!!!
thought it was gonna end with you hammering the low b for fun haha. You do nail this format though
Same
The problem I have with 7 and 8 string bands is there's sooo much real estate to work with but people just drone the open string.
If someone removed the 5 highest strings on my 7-string I’d be like “that’s fine”
😂 🤦♂️
Chugs only 😈
That’s what max calavera does with his 6 strings
As an owner of a 7 strings guitar, i have to say: this is absolutely true! uhauuahuha

DAMN THAT WAS A SICK RIFF!!!
The one at the start was prettty good, too.
I just play Nu-metal riffs and write songs
I was expecting the Blind riff on reality 😂
He really played a boomer lick on a 7 string ☠️
😂 hi my name is Paul from guitar world
@@JamieSlays 😂😂😂 calling em out that’s crazy 🤣🤌
@@JamieSlaysPaul… bruh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Man bun metal? Noooop...
Personally I like seven string humbuckers for their power. It really makes the low E have that sound I am looking for but can’t get on 6 string pups.
I handed my grandpa my headless seven string and he started playing blues on it 🤦♂️
what else would you expect your grandpa to play? ya little turdlet
cool gramps
I had to comfort my ibanez 7 string on the second video and tell her its only a video gave her a djent she purred happily back to sleep
Met this guy around 2017 since then i still love his videos Jamie truly slays
My pa got 7 string guitar. He ain’t no metal dude. He cut the 7th string off 💀💀
Bro 😭
Why tf would he cut it off that's the whole point of the 7th string 😢
what is that first riff?
I want to know as well.
Probably just some random chuggin
So over the 7 and 8 string etc fad. I play in an alternate Drop B on my 6 string PRS and achieve what I need on the higher strings with solos and leads and just use a pedal if for whatever reason I do one more on the high end. Not like I’ll ever be a Steve Vai anyway haha 😆🤘💀🤘🎸
I barely know how to play 6 strings, if id add one more I would start crying lol 😅
Funny enough, I picked up a 7 string just to try one out yesterday, and that is exactly what I did 😅
You played the boomer riffs
It's the Barbie dolls on the wall for me.
How about when guitar center had Lady Gaga's guitarist, who doesn't play 7 strings, demo the Schecter Reaper 7
I watched the Reaper 6 demo with him, I like his playing style tbh… I’ll check out the Reaper 7 review
I need a midi controller or a 7 string. I just want a 7 string more xD
Literally my first week of getting a seven string and bringing it to jam session. Completely ignored the new string for the entire time 😂
Do u recomend getting guage 11 or 10 for drop turn
Tune
@METAL! I’m using the Dunlop heaviest 12-54 on one of my guitars and Dunlop heavy 10-48 on the other one, they’re both work with drop tuning.
This depends on your guitar's scale length and what feel you like.
How heavy u going? Most people should play 10s by default in my opinion for anything that isn’t lower than C but once u get C I’d use 11 A/B 12 but it’s really up to u what u want to use I’d say u can probably use 11 for B A is pushing it 12s u basically can only stay A and B I’ve basically repeated myself this entire time and my personal opinion might be deemed wrong
use 10-52 myself for Standard D and drop C.
Not sure if he was going for the Jonathan Davis look with the glasses, hair in a bun and the cannibal corpse shirt 🤷♀️
@JamieSlays
How is this Solar, guitar for you? Fair price?
Yeh! It’s like ibanez Jackson esp combined :)
@@JamieSlays wow thx for such vivid feedback. It was fun to watch Ola Englund vlog on yuotube. Was thinking about trying his 7strings
Tbf I find it weird that people buy seven whole strings and only use the top 2
but... how? if i wanted to do that stuff id just use my 6 string...

The expectation kind of sound like the band “vampireCunt”
"let's review this sick looking war hammer"
.... proceeds to play clean with reverb and delay on neck single coil
I feel personally attacked, cause I got a 7 string and I basically just play 6 string stuff
I mean, if you just wanna play chunky drop a, a-sharp, or g rhythm riffs, get a 6 string baritone. To me the whole point of a 7 string is having a wider range so you can play crazy chord shapes and leads while still being able to get the low end.

D is extremely heavy. Though in a different octave
Yup. lol The band plays death metal but i noodle around with a poor excuse for fusion on 7’s at home 🤷🏻♂️
Holy shit 😂 accurate
i made this mistake at first lol, getting a 7 string just to use it as a 6 string. of course i don’t do it anymore but i frown upon myself for that
This is definitely true when I get a 7 string I'm going to learn korn song.
If im gonna buy a 7 string ill play KoRn of anything
"Expectation" sounds like Psychosocial by Slipknot
I just bought that same Cannibal Corpse shirt, coming between December 29th - January 4th
I feel like I would treat a 7 string the same I do a whammy. I forget it's there, then I go "oh I should use it" and I do for 30 sec, realize I have no clue what I'm doing and then quietly go back to what I was doing.
Loose the mom hair
So true. Like wtf how do I judge it on open chords nonsense
Love the shirt
Real answer:🌽
Whatever you played first reminds me of some old school Chelsea Grin, Desolation of Eden type vibes.
“We gotta review a 7 string? Alright get Bobby to play a few AC/DC licks with the worst tone you’ve ever heard, that’ll be perfect.”

What song is that? I know that song is it suicide silience? Maybe it’s thy art is murder
I got a 7 string to play some low chugs but I find I use it more for ambient sounds with my jazz chorus. Am I ok? 😢
Tell me you have a terrible taste in musoc without telling me you have a terrible taste in music.
b... but weren't you playing the "expectation" in reality?
Yeah, everyone acts like you get a seventh low string, but you really, get to have a downtuned guitar with an extra high string
I literally wanna learn what he just played and then go into every music store across the nation play exactly that, and promptly leave. Thats it.
Hi Jamie, can u suggest me a good 7 string guitar under 1000 euro ? or if you have done some content about different 7 strings guitars
Okay you're not wrong but Andy Aledort is a homie ✌️
How do you guys get such low pitched pinch harmonics all of mine are so high pitched
Dude stole my grandmas hair do and glasses wtf bro and is that her CC shirt too? Low man..
I'd rather hear open chords than that bullshit generic metal. Lol
That was funny 😆 imagining myself doing exactly like it if I get one
What exactly does you use a guitar woth more than 6 strings for just curious
Tuned to A Standard, with "Are You Ready?" Burned into its mind.
Tuned so low I can hear the strings smash against the guitar :) 🤙🤙
Ну давайте, скажите мне, что вы не подумали про Сола Гудмана, когда он сыграл тот самый аккорд
Reality be that you just spent a 1000 dollars to play korn and slipknot
reality sounded good expectation sounded like shi
Buy thicker strings an detune and will be beast!
This is so going to happen to me, when i get my first 7 string on next Monday 😂
Honestly one of the truest videos I've seen you do. I own 27th string guitars and I play the 7th string about 3% of the time.

You sound jealoud lol
Since i suck at theory i need a 7 string chord diagram.
Did it go out when you used the bar? That last sound was out of tune.
Never played a 7 string...I'm guessing the extra string is for dropped d and other metal tunings? What's the notes of the strings please?
Standard with a low B
Na we just play master of puppets in A standard
Every time without failure lol
yo you rock!! what size are your gauges on your ears?
hey what do u use for that tone? it sounds really good
Play walk and domination breakdown on low tuning
