      From my personal experience, I found out that by using 7 string, I corrected my bad habits in terms of posture and hand shape, solely because of the different neck width/profile. It took some getting used to, of course. But in hindsight I realised I had many bad habits from my 6 string days.

    Very nice to see such a varied selection of riffs, Cerebral Hybridization is a great underrated pick in my opinion, excellent video!

    That's why I need many guitars now - each one for a type of tuning 😂

    Amon Amarth - Asator, Destroyer Of The Universe
    Kataklysm - Crippled And Broken, Black Sheep, Prevail
    Trivium - pretty much any riff off of Shogun or Becoming The Dragon off of The Crusade
