Gospel Music drew my attention towards this type of Guitar because w/ the Low B String, it's way easier to transpose on the Fly especially on Church Gigs. Gospel Singers love extended Range Guitars cause they can find the right key.

Enjoyed the video! I just ordered a Schecter Damien 7 and I’m excited to learn about this. Learning guitar was my “COVID project”. I have played off and on over the years but really got down to it this year. Mainly acoustic and learning roots and bluegrass so the 7 string will be a great change of pace. Metal is my jam. Thanks for this!

7:30 That chord sounds massive (would be even more epic with a bass guitar playing a low D). Also, ADADGBE would be my main tuning once I get a 7-string. It would be so fun with those low inverted power chords. And I really hope 7-strings will become the standard. They make playing music from jazz to rock to metal more versatile and fun!

First you made me want to get a Flying V now I want a 7 string!
I really like options for bass lines for live looping.

Just got my Strandberg this morning. I got the 6 string boden prog model. I've been toying with the Idea of buying a Strandberg for years, but your video finally gave me the inspiration. Thanks man. Its absolutely amazing to play, and I don't think I can go back.

Damn you dude... I'm on the verge of getting a seven... your video just made me go for it.

Liked and subbed!

I love my 7 string acoustic, but having fanned frets has definitely opened up more options in tunings. I'm no professional, but I've spent entirely to much time and money now in this experiment to turn back now lol.

Instead of using a standard low string I use a high g string and swap through alternate tunings mid song using pitch keys and a Keith tuner. I'm planning on getting 2 more Keith tuners so I can drop my low d string to drop g. I'm trying to also figure out a way to get a pitch key to drop from d to c on the fly.

The tunings I use that i can quickly swap between are

D, A, D, G, a, d, g---extended dadgad nuff said about this tuning

D, G, D, G, b, d, g---Open G "behold an extended range banjo"

D, G, D, G, c, d, g---Mountain Minor "Clawhammer banjo/mountain music"

D, G, C, G, c, d, g---Double C tuning "MORE BANJOS!"

D, G, D, G, a, d, g---Dsus²

D, G, D, G, a#, d, g---Open Gm "probably my favorite tuning"this tuning makes normal guitar patterns possible on the highest 3 strings it's just like you have a capo up 3 frets on those strings. I really can't say enough about this tuning cascading waterfall harmonics are hauntingly beautiful and dropping the D to a low G just adds so much to it (RIP 7th string intonation)

I steal a bunch from banjo players having the high g string on the bottom makes flat picking scrugs style banjo possible and I'm currently learning clawhammer banjo stuff as well. Eventually I'll figure out selective picking and start throwing that into some weird bluegrass stuff.

I just bought a 7 string on a whim today. Never turning back now lol 😝

Hi. I'm practicing those chords from Tuesday👍👍

[arondahlberg]

Have not yet watched the video but will say it straigth out anyway; YES you should buy a seven string! I got mine 6 months ago and now it's the only guitar I use for everything I play! That extra string and the extra range that comes with it is fantastic, did not take long until I started to feel handicapped without it! Just get a proper understanding of the guitar neck and some music theory and you won't regret it!

The Strings that these have are a set of 7 String Super Light Plus Gauge Strings (9.5s). Half Gauge Sets are super cool for balancing things out (weather Acoustic or Electric, you name it) cause for example if you like 10s on your Gibson & you want your Fender to feel the same go w/ a set of 9.5s.

Well Jimmy I just pulled the plug on a Classic 7 in graphite. I've been interested for some time and had an opportunity to get one at a good price with a decent trial period. My 1st experience with a strandberg...hoping for the best. It'll be my 2nd 7 string giving me a good reference on what I'm most comfortable with. Got to say, I'm pretty excited to see what it offers. Keep up the great content, rock on dood! \m/

7 String Guitars are the easiest extended range Guitar to start w/ because the only additional String on it is another B String. Gospel players love extended Range Guitars too because we can transpose on the fly.

Drop Tunings help you find your voice.

I’m gonna spam that 7 string like a kid and no one can stop me 🎸🔥🤘

[brandoncondatore]

Hey man, I wanted to say thank you for making this video. I'm not sure if you still see the comments but I was interested if you can get any more sound demos, or if you have more videos of you playing that particular guitar. I am looking into getting an 8 with that pickup layout ( Straighter with Fan Frets )

[waltscott]

are you still in drop A and D? I bought my first 7 string from Kiesel. My original thought was to extend for some Nick Johnston type of instrumentals. I'm a old newbie to the 7 and am researching along with trying not to get lost on the fret board.

[RockG.o.d]

im trying to shake the itch for a 7 string.. if I want lower then got a 6 string tuned to b, and the helix with the octave shifts, but the itch continues.

[Hiro.the.God.]

Bruh, that flea slap was literally slapping, I can’t wait to play like you man! I’ve logged 300 hours so far and I can see a lot of progress in that time, but when do you get REALLY good?

[magmarok]

I play in C standard and I’m getting a seven string solely so I can have a high F string I don’t need to go any lower since I play with a bass player.
