I use Drop A tuning, then use the Downtune button on my Whammy Pedal. A truly lazy person's low tuning solution.
It's not lazy, it's effective
@@apothecide.2 I felt mildly self conscious when writing this fact about me.
Kinda. I have the drop pedal which is the same thing without the whammy pedal, but you lose pretty much all articulation after like 3 semitones
Not really lazy. Weird. But you still have tension and don't have to set your guitar up for a whole new tuning and/or string gauge. I only find it weird if I can still hear the strings that aren't tuned down.
I like the F# standard tuning, sounds so brutal
I usually tune the G string a half step down from whatever i tune my 7 string too, which allows me to not only have the typical range of a 6 string from the low to high B strings, but it also helps with allowing you to use a single finger to barre the G, B, And E strings when playing chords on the treble strings.
Yeah tuning that G to an F# really does make a surreal sound. A song I wrote used DADF#AD tuning.
I did that to learn a Five Finger Death Punch song once
New to owning a 7 banger, getting a Schecter Silver Mountain in Green, multiscale. Almost was going to have the guy set it up for drop tuning until I watched this. Great timing
That was really informative, thank you
*drops low string* 👀
I have started with standard A, because of Korn, they have easy riff so they were useful to learn playing.
Then I moved to standard A flat (also to learn Dying Fetus riffs, that are I standard C#) and now I mostly use drop F#
Yo, the way you explain things makes it easy to understand. Do you have any lessons or plan on do any?
Cool - Thanks! I learned on drop tunings and it's REALLY hard for me to play in standard for any length of time. All of my sixes and sevens are dropped. I learned off of tabs and drop D in the early 2000s by playing TOOL songs and various nu-metal from that era. Now I like prog, djent, and all kinds of metal and I can tell learning in drop tuning and with tabs has contributed to my plateau. I'd like to get better, but change is hard.
Have played guitar for 20 years
Simply keep playing guitar, and learn songs that play differently than what you're used to playing, and this will always evolve your and diversify your skillset. I know it sounds simple but I promise it is effective.
You are doing amazing work with this channel and I know your channel is going to continue to grow. I would have loved to have had this content when I was first learning. I hope you can look back at this comment on the future when you’re much bigger and give me a reply that I was right! Haha
I messed around with A# standard on a six string guitar, but the high strings felt too lose, and since I didn't want to mess around with setup, I spontaneously bought a seven string guitar this Saturday. I tuned it down a half step and then... Well, this is the tuning: A#-D#-G#-C#-C#-A#-C. The lowest four strings are normally tuned, the third string is in unison with the fourth string (C#), the second string is untouched (A#) and the first string is in C, just one whole note higher. It messes up a lot of stuff, but there are some cool riffs I can play on it. The tuning is A#m11/Bbm11, or so a chord analysis tool on the internet says.
The tuning I’ve been playing in recently is G# with everything else dropped half a step because I’m learning Icarus lives.
The only additional String on the 7 String Guitar is another B String (2 Octaves below the 2nd String) so that's quite an easy one. It even allows me to transpose a song to a key that's easy for me to sing in.

The Tuning I use on my 7 string Guitar is a Minor Third higher because it's a Rare 7 string Terz Guitar.
There was a brand new 7 string Jackson at my local shop for 250 bucks and I regret not purchasing it. Great video!
That’s really cheap for a 7 string and probably poor quality
Nice!
I clicked on this expecting you to be wrong(with no basis to this claim as I've never seen a video of yours), but you nailed it. I was recently gifted my first ever 7 string last week and, currently playing in D standard on 6, I tuned the 7 ADGCFAD. Bravo.
I tune to drop a, and sometimes use pitch shifter to go to drop f#. I chose drop a, because i started with 6 string guitars and if i am in drop a i still hyve e standard from the 6 string included. So the arpeggios are the same. Only on the low a i have to do it differently. But i like having an a string because b is a strange note and because of the powercord possibility. Also riffing is easier for me that way
On my 7 strings I use B standard (BEADGBE) and A standard (ADGCFAD). Although I am thinking of switching to drop A (AEADGBE).
Visualizing the fretboard is so great on a 7. On a 6, the outside strings mirror the same frets (both E strings) and on a 7 both outside strings mirror (both B & Es)
This just made it click. Wow, thanks!
@@sirnatanielson yeah man. Play a Dorian scale across the strings starting on the low B and you'll see it better. Great reference point
@@TommyGunzzz will do. Still looking at buying my first 7. So indecisive on the few I'm looking at. I'm excited to start learning that extra piece to the puzzle.
@@sirnatanielsonjust bought a Jackson Rhoades V 7 string. Love it!
@@gouldonlinestudios I just recently bought a Jackson JS32-7 dka, the nice pretty white one. Plays great and is lots of fun learning to play!
I play my 7 string standard tuning but the 7th string tuned to A for bar chord/ drop A style tuning. I honestly thought that was correct this whole time.
that's why i have two 7 strings guitars: Ibanez Universe for standard tuning, ESP Horizon 7 for drop G
Interesting... Just got my first 7 string the other day and I told them standard tuning for the setup. I bet they thought I was crazy to not drop C it.
Howzit bud. Please can you tell me what string gauge you use on your Jackson HT7 for standard tuning half step down? I also have an HT7 and ive been testing different string gauges? I currently have a 10, 13, 17, 30, 42, 54, 64. I am just wondering if its not a bit heavy for a 26.5 scale length guitar. Thanks in advance.
when he said keep it in standard i legit lol'ed
as son as i brought my first 7 string home i snaped the high e trying to tune it
I love standard tuning since there is a lot to explore with many interesting patterns. Work even better with 8 string standard.
I use a pack of 8 string guitar strings and a pack of 7 strings. I buy the 8 pack for the low string. I go to drop g so that bass string really holds and hits the note without an uncontrollable string flop.
Gb standard on a 7string all the way
sorry i just got my ibanez 7 string and would like to know what exactly you mean by standard tuning? EADGBE? whats the 7th then? can anyone help please? or should the first string simply stay on B - so : beadgbe? thanks mates and rock on
I've never had a 7 string but I am considering it just to tune the 6th string to drop D and leave the 7th in standard E. I think it would be a wonderful noise
The 7th string is a B standard. The 6th would be the E that you drop down to D in this case.
@ninefinger Jack I'm wanting to try it different. Standard tuning just drop the the sixth string to D
@@wheresridgeville1so tosin abasi's bdadgbe
You should go adadgbe instead it sounds cooler
Crossfade used BDADGBE,BbDbAbDbGbBbEb
IMO guitar should have always been 7 strings that B is REALLY key so are the notes in between, the low E is really limiting when writing forcing you to go really high for certain parts
I’m glad i got something right my first time
7 string tuned to A STANDARD/ drop top string to G for Drop G 🤘🏻
Drop F# is the new standar :P
i own multiples guitars from 6.7 , 8 and 9 string. In all this i have 4 7 string, one standard scale 7 string in normal b standard, and i also have a nasty 30 inch scale baritone 7 string tuned to B standard but every string an octave lower, does it count lol
BEADGCF with hipshot extenders on B C & F strings. Drop the B to A for chugs. Drop the C to B and F to E for standard tuning. Otherwise it’s just open 4ths
When you’re playing the scales in this video, is the audio off in tracking your hand?
0:59 start at standard and the drop each string one step down. Not just the B string. Korn tuning.
The only way I play a 7 string is in baritone tuning with an extra high string, so BEADF#BE. I find it so much easier to learn that way since all the scales you know on a 6 string are still in the right place and it also makes lead playing a lot easier not having to think about that major 3rd interval on the top 2 strings.
I got me the Jackson slat 7 soloist The purple flame top. Super sexy
Thank you for saying what’s always needed to be said. I tune all of my guitars standard. My 7s as well. Due to scale work and chord structures and I recommend this to all of my students. 6 or 7 string players. Especially learning scales and chord voicings. It helps to visualize the intervals while playing. Nice work man
I use my 7 string in B standard and my 6 string for drop tunings.
How wrong am I that on my 6 string i’m lazy for power chords I tune down where I can use one finger per fret for 2 strings for power chords and now want the same for my 7 string? (I only play by ear and dont know shit about tuning I just caveman mönkee brain match sound good)
tune is BEADF#BE and you can use your standard chords just like on you 6 string but of course my tuning is drop A have AEADGBE i dont half step G like i do in my standard tuning
Beat me to it 😅 i've been tuning that way for years myself and after playing in that tuning for a while it really opens up the 7 string in ways that i could never have imagined, while simultaneously giving me a means to approach the instrument differently.
I've been wanting to get an 8 string as well so i could see how this tuning works while being able to implement the low F#, allowing me to have two entire octaves for F#, B, and E.
@@Stretchwreckedem469 I got tuning from old This is why you suck at Guitar , UNCLE BEN ELLER Watch his channel for years and id like to try some open tunings on seven string like I use on acoustic.
I use drop G but thinking about drop F
My 7 string guitar in drop A is in E standard so ligma.
😊
Im so happy your channel hasn't taken off 😂 your videos get under my skin
I didn't know Dave grohl could play a 7 string
Unless you want to play jazz and comp a walking bass line or play chord melody, then ok to drop to an A!
White Justin Whang
The best is A in the 7 string.
Reinch
Tune it how ever you want make more sense.
d tuna, you're screwed.
If the pattern does not work, it is only because you have forgotten what you tuned the guitar to begin with.
The 7th string is another B
Ummm … so what’s the actual tuning 🤷🏻♂️
Any form of standard intervals is my typical go-to. So, keeping those BEADGBE intervals and down tuning together from there. Sure, I have drop tuned ones as well, but I love the standard tuning to easily extend scales to the full 3 octaves and such!
that's some ugly rosewood looks like dirty sock composite fretboard
Is this clownery necessary?
7 string are useless, not like me, its you
what💀
All fourths on a 7 string is the way to go imo. BEADGCF
