Like this comment if you want to see TABS at the end of videos. Is this useful for you??

[adamcogan]

That cort looks sick! Trivium and Babymetal were the reasons I got into 7 strings

[RequiemDead]

My love affair started with the likes of Korn, Fear Factory, Meshuggah, Morbid Angel, and of course Vai and Petrucci.

[TheMirrorify]

Getting a 7 was a game changer for me. Drop Ab and Eb standard at the same time on my guitar. I always hated the scale shapes getting messed up when drop tuning a 6.

[adamwilliams]

For me, it was KoRn. I loved how they sounded. Thats where and why I started on a 7 string.

[ScottStieg]

+1 for the Sylosis shirt. I own the KX700. it's rad. Good riffs!

[darkstar]

Trivium's Shogun album has a lot of riffs that are great for getting used to 7 string.

[asanders]

This was excellent man! I'd love to see this style of vid for 8 and 9 string

[pseudo]

This was honestly a super sick video. Reminded me of a lot of bands and songs i havent listened to in a while and its good inspiration for when i eventually pick up a seven string. Tabs/the play along at the end was a nice touch and much appreciated.

[NuclearSoda]

The best riffs to play on a 7 string are riffs written for low tuning 6 strings 😆 usually the arrangement is much more comfortable..

[WagnerPiruca]

Many bands made me go to the seven strings, like Korn, Fear Factory, Suicide Silence, but the real trigger was the music Down From The Sky from Trivium.

[CakedNinja]

I know this unconventional, but I really like to place a capo on the 1st fret to essentially play a 6 string in C standard with and additional high string.

[Andy_Yates]

I'd love to get to a point when I can play Cytotoxin - Dominus. A lot of Allegaeon songs are written on a 7 and 8. Dyson Sphere is a good alt picking challenge with an accessible solo for sweeps. They play 6s but I'm pushing my down picking learning Misery Index. New Salem will get that endurance built up

[cleverg]

I owned my Schecter blackjack 7 string a year ago and i’ve been loving it but the only problem i found in my case it’s that i can’t remember more than 5 or 6 songs at the same time with it and i had to rewatch tabs so many times, with 6 string i’m sure i can play and remember more than 50 songs almost perfect

[craftcrate]

All Shall Perish is an incredibly underrated band that sadly left the map too soon.
And also how can a 7 string list be complete without any Trivium riff, I'd guess they started playing much of 7 strings later after you were getting into it, but their latest 2 albums really have some sick 7 string riffs worth checking out!

[damianquesada]

me watching the intro and glancing at my 6 string ibanez tuned to drop A because of slipknot 👀

[LysisZero]

My fav 7 string jam riffs come from nevermore and keith merrow. Anyone can pick like helicopter. Anyone can play the bazillion open note combos. To play something that doesnt just sound like blended noise requires more than lows otherwise all i hear is drums and fuzz.

[GeorgeWalsh-ekyw]

Awesome video, just bought myself another six string but I think I might need my first 7 string

[jamesbannister]

Devin Townsend ziltoid albums are what got me into 7 string. Gcgcgce/ fbfbfbd tunings.

[markus_mrk]

There's nothing like modern metal 7 string riffing especially when playing call and response style licks between bassy riffs and higher disonant or melodic chords over a groovy half time beat! Great looking course. Tabs please 🙂
