Basic Introduction to 7 String Guitar

Here's a short, very basic introduction to 7 string guitars. Intended for those who are curious about playing a 7 string but have never picked one up before, afraid to get into it, or just don't know anything about them. I'm not a great guitar player by any means, so trust me when I say if I can do it, you can do it. Maybe a different way of looking at it is all that it takes. Hope this helps some of you out there. Thanks for watching.

I absolutely LOVE when someone speaks to people without trying to sound like they're the all-knowing inventor of music and music theory!!!! Thank you, Sir!!!!

This is the easiest explanation of how to go from 6 to 7, seriously, thank you very much.

[petercheney]

You may not know diddly-squat about theory, but you are a natural born teacher. Good video. Thanks.

Yeah..this is the best intro to a 7 I've ever seen.

Tune the G to a G flat so you can play regular guitar chords. It's like having a guitar in B standard tuning but with an extra high E string

Four years later, and your video is still helpful. Thank you very much! Greetings from South-Africa.

thanks for this dude. most people are a little intimidated by 7's and this explains it's not a big deal and just adds some extra low end 👍

[spiralfirst]

Nicely done. I'm glad this wasn't a demo of superfast flash techniques, but instead a concise and sensible explanation. Thanks.

Man, I have been playing a six string off and on for a little over 20 years and have had an itch to try a seven string about about 3 months now. This video was EXACTLY what I needed to give me the confidence that I could make the transition without having to relearn it like whole new instrument. THANK YOU!

The fact that your wearing a crowbar shirt tells me im in the right place

[caseylee]

I always wanted a 7 string, and I bought my first one today, because after I watched this video, I immediately understood the scale patterns. Bravo to you got making it so simple!

[Breathemusic]

[barkerfunk]

Been playing for several years now and just ordered my first 7-string. This is the first video I found and the way you clarified everything made me feel the need to comment. Thank you so much for this!

[alienog]

Simple, well explained, no corny attempts at humor or over shredding to look cool...well done my man. Plus Crowbar rules 🤘

[rhymeskill]

Best video on this topic. Your humble approach helped me a lot! Thank you.

[hardcorestymie]

Great job of putting this into layman's terms even a beginner could understand. And great approach to playing and learning the 7 string.

[jasonstallworth]

Nice way to look at it...it's just 5 extra notes!

[Dericulus]

I even know a good deal of theory and you showed me things I didnt even notice. Its just a guitar with a little more of what you like. This was super helpful. I appreciate you making this.
