Who knew someone who looks so intimidating could be one of the most wholesome RUclips guitar instructors. Thank you for this. Just got a Schecter Demon-7 and this video is going to help me tremendously with adjusting!
Thank you my friend🙏 🤘
What?
@@Bob-jl2oewhat do you mean “what”
He doesn’t look intimidating at all 😂 he looks like a regular dude 🙏🏽
I love channels where u feel the passion just looking at his face
🤘
looks constipated to me
great video though
@@Ozmandius Nah dude, that's just an old dude's face...protein powder keeps me regular! lol
Like Cobus! Its infectious to the less confident 😎
True
my ordered guitar arrived as a 7 string instead of 6. Pretty much a beginner, but I guess is destined! These tips really pumped me up to feel it less daunting!
🤘
How was it bro?
i just got a 7 string yesterday for christmas and ive already learned so damn much from this video. im 100% going to use your videos to keep on keeping on this journey. thank you so much big brother
Dude, that's awesome to hear! Also, I have a 7 string playlist on my channel with more riffs and lessons
Maybe I can repeat the success this Christmas hopefully
Dude you are the best teacher on youtube. You dont talk to us like we are mini steve vais and i appreciate that. Ive been learning alot on your chanel THANKS BRO
🙏🤘
You can also use 7 String Guitars for Church Gigs because with the Low B String, transposing is way easier to match the ranges of singers.
I never thought of that (and I played in churches for 20+ years!)
@@jasonstallworth Sounds like you should take your extended range Guitars with you on Church Gigs (or even so Virtually) cause they seem like a good fit for that music.
@@jasonstallworth You could play this song on the 7 String Guitar:ruclips.net/video/1GAdRhSuJXM/видео.html cause Gospel Music is the most popular music that people who have extended Range Guitars can play.

Jason you r the dude…..I’m a weight lifter and guitar player
After watching your video I bought a Ibanez 7 string multi scale with Fluence moderns.
I have been playing just the 6 strings and has helped enormously to acclimate to the guitar..thanks metaldude!
Great to hear that...I still struggle with this thing! lol
I got mine because I wanted access to lower notes, but didn't want to sacrifice the higher notes by down tuning. Plus, I really like the way clean stuff sounds in standard tuning. Another reason is that I like to jam along with some of my favorite songs (80's Thrash), and many of those are in standard tuning.
We love our 80s thrash!!
I sometimes use mine for country, and that extra B string for base runs.
@@jasonstallworthhh
just bought my first 7 string guitar yesterday a jackson dinky archtop js22-7 and it took me awhile to make the decision cause i hit a rust and wasnt progressing with my 6 strings anymore and this video made so so happy to have purchased it thank you for posting such helpful videos cant wait to check out the rest of them
Awesome and glad this video helped! 🤘
Great video, I was just thinking about getting rid of mine, your tips have helped me move forward with giving the 7 string another chance. I've been spending less time watching videos and more time playing, but greatly appreciate what you're putting out there for us guitarists
Awesome to hear that dude!
Stumbled on your channel searching 7 string vids…..thought to myself: Megadeth tshirt, puppets flag, EVH 5150…… this is my guy right here 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Thank you dude...all things that are cool!
@@jasonstallworth hell yeah!
Waiting for my new and first 7 string to arrive now! I've been a half-assed player for the last 5 years or so, playing on occasion but never really expanding my skills. However thanks to 2020 I've been so much more dedicated thanks to excess free time and youtube. I'm a death metal/deathcore player and want the ability to play lower tuned songs, but the more I've researched 7-strings getting prepared for the extra string and found myself exploring the fretboard like never before. Stoked for you videos man, thanks for all the help and pushing my playing.
Oh dude, that’s gotta be exciting, waiting for that to come in!!!
I just got the Ibanez Axiom 7 string Multi scale!! Can’t wait to soak up all this 7 string stringy awesomeness
Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated!
🙏🤘
Perfect Timing! I just got a seven string and feel totally lost.
So good to hear that, dude! I'm not sure if you caught the end of the video yet, but I share some of my initial frustrations and why I almost got rid of my 7!
Keep at it man, Jason tipped me over the edge I went all out on an esp 7! no regrets 🤘 don’t know your music preference but learning some Korn stuff is relatively easier fun stuff.
@@shane4796 that’s awesome and good to hear that!! Funny thing is my preference isn’t the typical 7 string or low tuned music. I’m an old school thrash metal guy but I also integrate a lot of the European metal styles like Nightwish.
You can hear those styles combined in my latest release here: www.jasonstallworth.com/music/masterpeace/
Mine is coming wednesday. Have only played a bit of bass, and otherwise my main practice has revolved around piano.
@@anisnej10 piano is awesome to learn and I need to get better at that!! I’m a complete novice at keys!
Thank you Mr stallworth. You provided a simple lesson that I can follow right along with and get me started with my new seven string. Some other 7-string lessons I looked at just jumped in with like sweeps and all kinds of stuff that I can't even do yet on my 6-strings LOL...
Awesome to hear that and glad this helped!
Been waiting for this!! Thankyou!!!
Really glad this helps dude!!
Warm wishes on New Year!!
Thanks for the informative video!
Stay blessed!!
🤘🤘🤘
Great advice as always. I feel a bit more confident now thanks. Getting my 7 string soon!
Really glad this helped!
When I started listening to Carcass, Hypocrisy and other 7 string bands at that time, I became obsessed with buying one. I have 7 string Ibanez RG1527 (made in Japan) and it's absolutely fantastic.
The whole point for a 7 string, is that it gives you total different chords. It might take a while to adjust and get used to it, but it's absolutely amazing.
You're right, that's the point of playing a 7 so that you can expand! Love some Carcass and Hypocrisy!
Ordered my 7 string today, definitely I will use those tips when it arrive, thanks!
Awesome to hear that!
this lesson rips, needed some 7 string inspiration, I typed in "Learning metal on a 7 string" so glad i did, my 7er is a Schecter JL-7FR with the newer Duncan Jeff Loomis pick ups, I truly have never heard actives sound this good, stainless frets, it sings for days, a very very stable guitar, one of Schecter's best. I tend to noodle too much on a 7 string because they sound incredible and are too much fun, this video helped me focus on the chord progression
🙏 🤘
This is a great video, and your best tip is #7 - don't restrict your playing to just chugging on the low string!
I also got mine for compositional purposes but it helped that I'd been playing a 5 string bass in a prog metal band for 4 years.
I'd been writing a lot on that bass and I got sick of detuning my guitar so I got a Mark Holcomb signature PRS which I love!
Yes, that 5 string bass makes a world of difference! Those PRS guitars are nice!
thanks, im getting my 7 back tonite..like you said i gave it up but now i understand
🙏 🤘
Really loving your channel Jason! Thanks for all the lessons 👏✊😁
You're welcome! 🤘
Sweet! Thank you for the tips and tricks, Im looking forward in expanding my guitar playing skills to a 7 string guitar because I like a challenge for something I love doing! lol
It’s definitely a challenge and I’d be lying if I said that I still don’t struggle with it at times!
Just recently found your videos, and just picked up a schecter Damien elite 7 diamond series getting back into playing after 12 years, and your videos have helped me a lot! Keep on rocking man! Thank you
Awesome to hear you're back at it!
Yo i just got a schecter Damien elite 7 diamond series.
THANK YOU for this video! I will have my first 7 string in a few days and was just searching videos on RUclips for a place to start. Even after playing 6 string guitars for many years myself, the idea of playing a 7 has been a bit daunting. I especially DO NOT want to limit myself to just the lower notes as you said, so seeing that you were on the same page as I am on that I continued to watch the video. I'm going to use this as my primer so to speak. Many thanks!
Awesome to hear that and glad this helps! Yeah, the 7 can feel like a different instrument at times!
@@jasonstallworth I'm going to think of it as a new adventure. Thanks again!

Really greatful 4 these vids I've been playing 6S along time wish I could have watched your vids back then pre youtube days watching this vid yesterday and your motivation helped me decide to get my new RG7421 I'm really enjoying it gona be picking up the tricks on this channel thanks so much dude 🤘
Awesome man!!! I've yet to play an Ibanez 7 string!!!
7 string arrives today ,I'll be certainly following yourself, absolutely awesome
Dude congrats on that!!
My Schecter KM7 MK3 just got here last week. This video is great for us first-time seven stringers.
🤘
Thank you dude, your playlist is helping me a lot to step up on my 7 string ! And you make it very easy to understand even for a french guy like me.
Btw is there any link to download the backing track you're using in this video ?
Glad I'm not the only one that makes those faces after playing the same riffs I would on a six but on a seven. Solid vid man, keep it up!
Lol! 🤘
Thank you for those simple chord progressions. Sometimes I need to be reminded of stuff like that to get the creativity flowing. I've been using my 7 like a more downtuned 6 and I need to change that by being more aware of what's available.
Really glad this helped! 🤘
Love your energy
🙏 🤘
Very well explained! 🤟🏿
🤘
Thanks a lot for taking the time to teach as much as u do.
🤘🤘
Nice video, thank you. I just got a 7 string as I already have my Strat and Les Paul, and was tired of de tuning my LP so I got the Ibanez Apex 30 7 string for ultra low, “A” tuning Korn style haha. So I’ll stick to the other 2 for general play and my 7 string for low note anger release 😂
🤘
Great first video, I just picked up a bargain craigslist seven string and found this video. Jammed the whole way through with you, really appreciate it!
Awesome! Yeah, you can pick up some good deals out there on used gear!

Hahaha, OK man you got me... no more avoiding it, I'm picking it up today with the help of this awesome video. Thanks Jason :)
Dude that’s good to hear!! 🤘
Thanks man this is awesome planning to shift to 7 strings
It's a cool experience! Though I'm still more comfortable playing my 6 string guitars. I may try an Ibanez 7 soon...I like those Wizard necks; they fit my hands a little better than the ESP 7 I have.
Great video man! I've been playing guitar for decades myself, LOL. But I love it. I used to have a 7 string, but I sold it to Guitar Center. I really regret selling it. On my 6 string, I play in drop C. But I feel very limited on a 6 string. So I just ordered a Schecter Omen 7 string, and it should arrive today. I can't wait. I'm probably gonna drop the low b down to a though. I just love the heaviness of it. Anyhow, great video!
If you only knew how many times I've thought of selling mine!! lol Life with a 6 string was so much more simple!
You are the Man Jason! Just picked up my first 7 string Jeff Loomis signature Schecter model in blood red. It is sick! Thanks for the lesson. Have a 🍺beer on me.
Thank you dude, I appreciate that 🤘
Nice material, now i can undertsandt 7s guitars. Thank you! :)

Just bought a seven string. This helps so much. Thanks bro.
Thank you for the sub and glad this helped!
Love the vid. Just picked up a 7 string Ibanez yesterday and was kinda wondering how to incorporate that low B. Thanks for the tips my dude. 🤘
Always wanted to play an Ibanez 7 string...those necks fits my hands better
@@jasonstallworth I was staring at these Jackson 7 strings but at Guitar Center they had a few Ibanez used and I love my other Ibanez hollow body so I went with that 7 string.
Just bought my first 7 string because this video made it so simple. Thanks a ton!
So great to hear that!
Hi im an intermediate Acoustic player and I only have an acoustic guitar.. is it ok for me to get a 7 string as a first electric? Thanks!
@@JesusIsLord7773 go for it!... When I first started 7string, I bought 2 sets of strings, same size (10s in my case), 1 set nickel, the other set neon green. I put the regular set on EXCEPT for the low E string, and for that one I used the neon green low E. And the next time I needed to change strings, I reversed it. That gets you use to using ( or avoiding) that extra string until you get use to it. Good luck!
Hey Jason. I appreciate this video. My first 7-string is on its way. I'm looking forward to the new challenge. Sounds like we are approaching it from the same place. Thanks for sharing.
You're gonna love it!!
@@jasonstallworth OK Jason I have a question. My primary amp is a Marshall Origin 15W. I'm thinking it's not the right amp for the 7 string as the low string gets super muffled and distorted. Any tips on the right amps for low grinding metal? Or even some amp/pedal settings you find that work well? I started playing metal when I was 14 - all on solid state amps but now in my 40's I play all genres. Jazz, blues and rock sound amazing on the Marshall but I'm wondering if the tube amp isn't for metal. What do you think? For reference I'm looking for a sound like 'Burn" by In This Moment. Solid, low, percussive fury...
An update in case anyone else is dealing with the 7-string amp question. Turning the amp master way up solves the problem. As always the metal solution is the best solution. Not sure my family appreciates this approach but I believe my problem was trying to practice at a reasonable volume.
Love ESP
🤘
Great video . I will purchase your cd
Thank you! Here's the shop (I also have my latest CD there): metalmastermindshop.com/collections/jason-stallworth

That sounds like a nice guitar!!! Also, check out my playlists...there's one with all of my 7 string videos that you may find helpful
@@jasonstallworth thank you kindly im headed over to check them out
Then I shall buy 7 string guitar, after watch your tips. thanks for Great video
I still go back and forth on mine to this day!
Thumbs hit your thumbs up button!!!

@@jasonstallworth I remember seeing them in Atlanta when Marty Friedman and Nick Menza were with em..Coal Chamber opened..Good show man.
Jason i have been following you for some time now.
And i think you are the best person to answer my question.
right i`l get straight to the point,
ive just turned 50 and probably bought 6 guitars over the last 30 years and each time had them for a few months then sell because i felt i was getting nowhere,
but recently i have tried again and bought a schecter hellraiser c-1 6 string and man i love it has the split emgs pickups,
i can play some basic chords and now bits of songs but its only now its finally starting to sink in and improving slowly!
but more than ever before.
so hope your still with me and not fell asleep!!!
so here's the thing I'm 6`7" rocking 19st my sound im after is like carcass/paradise lost so im torn on which guitar to go for next ?
So 7 string or 6 string baritone!!!!!
so if you're in my shoes what would you pick and why Jason it would just help to know your opinion if possible?
Keep the cool content coming,,,,
Stay safe & Peace out in these dark days..
Dude, it's hard to say! I have many 7 string videos on my channel (I even have a playlist for 7 string lessons and tips!)...but I'm considering parting ways with mine. I've had it for over four years, have recorded an album and many projects with it, but it just doesn't feel like 'home' if that makes sense.
But it may indeed be a great fit for you, especially wanting to play the styles you mentioned! And being tall, you probably have a lot better reach for a 7 string than I do, and I think that has played a role in my decision here.
@@jasonstallworth Jason thanks for a speedy response bud! What are your thoughts on baritone? But I think I know what you are going to say man haha.
I will figure it out I guess great to see people like you still doing what Yr doin I'm a 80's metal head 1st album was iron maiden killers the rest is history..
My first Electric Guitar was an old Ibanez RG7321 Fitted with two green Dimarzio blaze pickups. Got it for christmas when I was 13 or 14 and i'll never part with it, its my baby.

Cool video, the backing tracks to play along to are a nice touch. Did you get your RG back with the new pick ups yet?”
I go pick it up this Thursday!!! And I’ll have a few video there a day or so after!!
Dude..... I didn't know you're so jacked! Besides that... this is a helpful video. I played a 7 and 8 string before but I didn't dig the 8 string because not many nice sounds with chords with it. But I'm thinking to buy a 7 string soon. Thanks for the upload!
Glad this was helpful dude!!! I think you'll like the 7 string!
@@jasonstallworth I want exactly what you're using. LTD with EMG pickups. It doesn't get more metal than that!
Cool man, you talked me into it...
It's a cool thing to get into, and man, I don't wanna disappoint you but I'm actually considering selling my 7 string. As much as I've played it and even recorded an album and some other projects with it, but the 6 strings feel so much more like 'home' to me. But don't let that sway your decision! lol
@@jasonstallworth I'm just a drummer learning all the other instruments and vocals to improve musicianship so the fact that I love the more aggressive sound and 7 string matches with 5 string bass perfectly, I'm not familiar enough to be uncomfortable since I'm oblivious anyway

Hi Jason love the video, I have had my 7 string (not only a 7 string but multi scale as well)for a month now and tried different tunings for the low string A,C but never B which makes sense. I normally play metal style in dropped D on 6 string guitars , so now I am bit confused
on what I should tune the low string to. Also which gauge of strings would you recommend?
Dude, my honest recommendation with a 7 string is don't touch the tuning. Just leave it in standard and when you want those lower notes, play those on that heavy B string. As far as strings, I've been using Elixir Nanoweb lights for a long time now.
@@jasonstallworth Thanks for the advice, all taken on board. Makes complete sense to tune in standard with a low B.
@@chriszoroch3642 You can tune to B standard (B E A D G B E) or tweak that to drop A (kind of like drop D on 6 string): A E A D G B E
Friggin Jeff Loomis makes every want a 7 string and also makes them want to get rid of it as well. That friggin' dude!!!
Loomis is great, but I encourage people to not compare themselves to others. You have your own unique style within and continue to develop that. No one can replicate you!
I beat you man, I picked my first guitar in 88. Although you beat me too, first seven string in 23... 😅 35 years later!
My Solar A2.7 arrived yesterday. Ok, so what am I supposed to do now with this thing?
Your video is an excellent starting point.
Thank you so much for your great work.
I just subscribed to your channel and I'm looking forward to see your other content.
Sometimes that time seems like yesterday! Thank you for the sub 🤘
I picked it up pretty quickly but I'm glad I watched this. Don't know why but it didn't even occur to me to alternate the same pattern between e and b.
I'm glad you got the hang of it quickly! It still feels like a different instrument to me at times! lol
@@jasonstallworth oh yes, it does still feel different. You probably already know this but you can tune the third string down a half step, which makes it so your lower strings are the six, and the first string is the extra.
That kinda helped me get used to it.
Hi, on a 7 string how far would you tune down for a much heavier sound before the sound is totally muddy ?
For me, the standard B is low enough. I don't understand why anyone would want to tune down further than that. I believe folks confuse low notes with 'heavier' but 'heavy' is more of a feeling and vibe. A low note is just a low note. There are plenty of heavy songs in standard 6-string tuning. That's my just take on it dude.
Big help thank you 🤘
I barely manage 6 so what the hell possessed me to go 7 I'll never know.
I felt the same way when I got this thing...and honestly, there are some days where I wish I had just stuck with a 6 string. But I've already recorded an album with this thing (Masterpeace was released in 2019) and much the album I'm releasing in 2021 is 7 string.
Hi Jason. Thanks for a another great video. I stumbled upon your channel awhile ago and I must say you have helped me a lot.
A year ago I picked up playing guitar again after a long break. And I have played regularly ever since, mostly autistic. I have played a lot when I was younger so I didn’t have to start al over. As a reward if I continued playing I would get me an electronic guitar and amp. Which I did( an Ibanez GRG121DX and a Boss Katana MKII). I absolutely love playing the electric guitar, metal all the way. With a lot of help from your videos.
So I am already planning to upgrade to a better guitar. I love the sound of 7- and 8-string guitars(Meshuggah), the heavier the better.
So my question is if I should go for a 7 string for my next guitar? I know I have just started my guitar journey. But I wouldn’t mind playing just 6 strings on the 7 string for a long time just to get used to the feeling and then start slowly adding the 7th string
What do you think? Any help is appreciated. All the best from Sweden.
Dude, thanks for supporting my channel and glad my videos are helping! My initial thoughts are to have you keep hammering away on the 6 string and get really comfortable and proficient with that...maybe another 6 months of solid and dedicated practice. Then make the jump into the 7 string world.
@@jasonstallworth Thanks for the advice much appriciated. I will set that as a reward that after 6 monthis of dedicated and solid practice on the 6 string I will get a 7 string. Thats a good for the motivation.
@@s01id74 That's a great way to go about it...it will be your reward!
cool vid homie. subd
Thank you for the sub!
Hey what are those square panels you have beside your monitors?
Oh those are just panels that came with this IKEA desk. I really want a smaller desk though!
I just ordered the Schecter Damien 7, and I love the idea that I can play drop A or standard tuning with ease using that 7th string.
I am worried though, I feel like I might have bitten off more than I can chew.
I've been playing guitar for maybe 10 years but only playing *seriously* for maybe a year. I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about there.
Did I jump the gun? Is there a milestone I should have hit on the 6th string before moving up? Anything I should look out for?
Going to a 7 is tough! I actually have a blog (and video) giving some additional tips here: www.jasonstallworth.com/6-to-7-string/
That said, I still kinda struggle with the fact that I have a 7 and I'm going to be sharing some pretty big news on my RUclips about that soon!
@@jasonstallworth thanks!
I subbed, so I'll be sure to see that when you post it 🤙

It's definitely time to get back!
Get back home next week can’t wait!
New to electric guitar, is this guitar ment for metal? Or can I change the strings to to play more pop type songs. I also got this guitar with the fender champion 20 amp.
The strings aren't going to impact or determine the style you want to play. That's more of a personal preference as to what feels right to you
Awesome coverage of things to consider on a 7 string. I've contemplated one, but haven't seriously looked. Google suggested a "best 7 string" article which after reading I quickly came here.
I'd love to try some of that just down and extra dirty B string one day, but might have to offload an existing guitar to do so.
One question: have you played other 7 strings and if so how much would you say the very nice ESP E-II has helped with your choice to keep it or just playability in general? They're more expensive than any of my other guitars , but I've got a Ibanez Prestige and there is something about it that's just beautiful to play.
And think we have to say Keep it EXTRA metal with a 7 string 🤘🤘🤘🤘
I've been back and forth on selling mine for some time now...I'd be ok parting ways with it at this point so let me know if it's something you want!
@@jasonstallworth as much as I'd love that axe, I can't really afford it and I'm in Australia so transport would probably cost a fortune.
buying a 7 string ibanez today... so stoked.. on a side "note" (pun intended) ill be living on the 7 and 6th strings for prolly the first week then ill maybe visit the higher ones again once its out of my system im sure lol
I’m actually considering getting an Ibanez 7 string. Their necks fit my hands much better
Hey man, I know your channel is primarily about guitar but can you share some tips on how to build a Powerbuilding or Powerlifting program? I train Powerlifting and play guitar, too but I have been stuck in plateus for 3 years.
Man, I'm definitely not a powerlifter but I have been weight training for most of my life. I actually have another channel for that here: ruclips.net/channel/UCb28r9psLEU_bd8zwblDXzA
Hey brother 👍
Glad i stumbled onto this,cool vid.
Iam about to get my first 7 string,after mucking around with 6's for quite awhile. Ive been a huge fan of KoRn and other bands like Fear Factory, since the early/mid 90's, so actually a bit surprised its taken me so long haha
The shameless pun/plug was good too bro and really enjoy your playing and just whole general attitude so i think ill be checking out your CD
Thanks 👍🇳🇿🤘
*Edit* I went to buy your CD and a shirt... didn't wanna work, do you ship to Australia or nah?
Thank you for the sub. I'm actually in the middle of changing my shop platform and it will be a better experience and worldwide shipping...should be p in January!
@@jasonstallworth Cheers dude
Play 7 stings guitar ...it is a kind of art!...don't loose the patates...(comme on dit par chez nous)...i like you're vids 👍
It is indeed an art! 🤘🤘
Still waiting for my guitar to arrive 😢 but can’t wait to play
It'll be like Christmas when it comes in!
"or in my case decades" haha.
Happy new year, my amigo!
😂 happy new year! Yea, I’ve been around for a little while!!
I wanted a 7 string because of Trivium. I have a somewhat good control on my picking hand, But expect to go stale on a 7. I've played one of the basic riffs (and proceed to play more) on a 6 string to get me prepared
I actually have my 7 string for sale. After four years, I just never fully connected to it the way I wanted
@@jasonstallworth 😂
I've been playing for about 6 years right now and life got really busy for 2 years. I drug my guitars out to find out both of my electric guitars neck have became warped leaving, thankfully I still have my basses and accoustic but I'm looking for something that provides a heavier tone. You might have just completely changed what I'm gonna buy
It's great to hear you're back in it!!!
I have a 7 String BC Rich Virgin with a Floyd Rose tremolo. It has the widow headstock and is all black. This is before they did the speed loader style and I hear now that the Virgin 7 String is discontinued.
🤘
which plugin do you use? it sounds great...
I'm using a real amp (EVH 5150 III) here. What you're hearing in the full mix track, in the beginning, and the backing tracks were recorded with just the SM57 mic. The lesson clips are just me playing through it in the room with the camera mic picking it up (that's why it's not as clear)
Okay, thanks a lot, what about drums?
Haven't touched a seven yet. I use RUclips like Neo did to learn kungfu! There will be one in my future some time shortly!
