Like this comment if you want to see TABS at the end of videos. Is this useful for you??
Trivium's Shogun album has a lot of riffs that are great for getting used to 7 string.
This! Shogun is the album that made me pick up my first 7-string. Down From the Sky specifically.
Yeah I wanted one when I heard Trivium’s What the Dead Men Say (song), the use of the 7th string just sounds so good
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.
The way I looked at it, I was playing in D# with a low G# instead of playing in G#. That helped me learn how to navigate the fretboard
That cort looks sick! Trivium and Babymetal were the reasons I got into 7 strings
💪 for Divine Heresy and TTEOTD 🥳
+1 for the Sylosis shirt. I own the KX700. it's rad. Good riffs!
Lovely production quality Jamie!!
Thank you! Totally appreciate it. I’ve been working super hard recently to change up my video style
For me, it was KoRn. I loved how they sounded. Thats where and why I started on a 7 string.
8:35 Divine Heresy! Omg what a throwback! That band is criminally untalked about these days but their albums were such a riff barrage
Yep its a shame Divine Heresy didnt get the attention it surely deserved. Dino Cazares is the 7, but mainly 8 string riff machine 👌
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.
This Proves that Jamie is Great Player🤘🤘
Keep up the great work you play the best metallica riffs my favorites master of puppets and creeping death fantastic!!
Awesome songs and awesome format. I love the little personal experience with the riff breakdown… and I don’t even play guitar haha
Awesome video, just bought myself another six string but I think I might need my first 7 string
That Cort is gorgeous! I want one
Great 7 string video! Im looking forward to the 8 string guitar video. With hopefully Divine Heresy songs in it 👍
Great :! Thank you !
Thank you for watching!
I needed this video. Ive had a Legator Ninja7 for a while and I couldn't get it down. This helps so much
Thanks! You’re welcome. Hello from Japan 🇯🇵
Borderline criminal that KoRn never popped up in this 😭
First thing I thought
"You can't talk about 7 string guitars without talking about this band" - It's Korn. The band is Korn!!!
Idk man, I never really cared for them either. Different strokes for different folks I guess
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.
Down tuning your sixer will only do so much. I used to only play six strings and down tune but after playing a 7 string for the first time and going back to my six string I could definitely feel the emptiness
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
Sick AF!!!
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 🙂
The best riffs to play on a 7 string are riffs written for low tuning 6 strings 😆 usually the arrangement is much more comfortable..
Yehhhhhhh
“Termination Proclamation” by Nevermore is a good one
Always Loved Them
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!
Yeh they are so good. I’m so glad they’re back now!
@@JamieSlays I didn't even know they're back, that's so sick to hear!
@@craftcrate6602 10 days they’ll play their first gig in ages
Awesome stuff Jamie, definitely useful for me as I'm looking to get a 7 string 🤘🤘
Going to finish watching this after work but decided to add these songs to a Spotify playlist. Couldn't find Devine Heresy "Failed Creation" though - just the one album available (Bringer of Plagues), could it be under another name?
You're metalxcore stp preset is my favorite and go to ❤ 🤘🤘🤘
so, im having trouble getting a good sound when recording to my pc. i use the new Focusrite, bandlab and neural dsp plugin (amp). Any tips?
I remember that show on MTV back in the day. Listened to "Unearth" a lot during a period back then.
Bro… don’t tell me that was orihime and ulquiora ? Bleach fans here too 🎉

My love affair started with the likes of Korn, Fear Factory, Meshuggah, Morbid Angel, and of course Vai and Petrucci.
Oh sweet!! That’s intriguing
Far from heaven by fit for an autopsy is great to warm up to 7 strings I’ve been learning the first 2 riffs for the past month and at full speed holy shit you’ll definitely have to be comfortable on the wider fretboard.
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.
I got my first seven string yesterday and i have been learning septuagint from Obscura for the past 4 hours, its by far my favorute 7 string song tho il have to learn the whole Omnivium album
Same story. But reason to buy my esp nt-7 was Thy Art Is Murder - Shadow of Eternal Sin, Carnifex - Unil I Feel Nothing, Chelsea Grin - My Damnation, Suicide Silence - Slaves to Substance, Emmure - Protoman, Divine Heresy - Facebreaker. Now most impressive 7 string music, for what I want to buy 7str baritone - is Lorna Shore with Adam de Micco.
P.s.: still dreaming to buy 8 string guitar to try to play my number 1 band - Aversions Crown (Tyrant and Xenocide) and Archspire, and of course Bleed by Meshuggah)))🤘
The song that made me want a 7-string guitar was Members Only by Veil of Maya, it just blew me away.
I sincerely expected to hear 10 Korn riffs 😂 I didn’t even knew there was someone on earth who didn’t pick a 7 string because of Korn 😝
Hahahaha yeh I’m the odd one out I didn’t love Korn especially back then. I do now!
I clicked hoping to see Unearth, I am indeed happy. Got some All Shall Perish too 😮
I knew of 7-strings but absolutely didn't understand how scale length worked, etc. Trivium's "Shogun" album is what made me finally pull the trigger on my first 7-string. Down From the Sky being the first song I ever learned on a 7-string. Battle for Ozzfest was the SHIT! I've seen Unearth a handful of times and they're a stellar band. One of the bands that make me a proud New Englander here in the states just one state over from Massachusetts 🥹 Unearth was absolutely a band I learned as well but I think the band that really sucked me in with 7-strings the most was Periphery with Periphery I leading into Periphery II 👀
me watching the intro and glancing at my 6 string ibanez tuned to drop A because of slipknot 👀
Try Chimaira's Pass Out Existence. The whole album sounds like "simple" riffs, but boy, they're tough to play but feel suuuuuuuuper good to play 'em.
Sollllld list!
I'm buying a seven to play some Polaris. Theyre not reinventing the wheel per say but what they do, they do at the highest level.
They’re incredible RIP my buddy Ryan
Mix of Wake up by Suicide Silence, Down from the sky by Trivium and Failed creation by Divine Heresy
Haken - Puzzle Box. Beautiful thing!
Oh sick I’ll check it out!!
Arent Haken 8 string guys?
@@metalpuppet5798 Yeah, but at least this one can be played well on 7.
@@dasi8111 ah. Gotta check it out then.
I love Haken, absolutely best band out rn
I bought a 7 string a while ago just because of one song. So I got a 7 and and then realized the song was harder than I thought and I've never been able to play it lol. Now I dont hardly play my 7 and when I do it's dumb stuff that I could just do on a 6.
(The song is Doomswitch by Make Them Suffer)
7 strings really aren't that difficult to learn. Think of it as having more options for lower tuning and longer scales. Also with a seven string you can use a .072 gauge string on the bottom which allows for some crazy picking and awesome sounds.
No Nevermore....shameful
Because they’re gash.
@@scaberouswretch3673They Ruled.
btw Cort I never tried it out, just thought of it as a "new beginner based guitar brand" or whatever how is to play on them?
For some reason, tech death riffs are easier on 7 compared to a 6 due to the wider n' rounder neck and it helps me grip on better also you get 2 tunings in 1.
TTEOTD was so good.
deviloof was the band that got me into getting a 7 strings, no regrets
Oh wow yeh! The Japanese band??
@@JamieSlays YES, i love their riffs
lmao i've always played day of justice on the 6 string. it's the only ASP song i ever learned
actual w vid
Devin Townsend ziltoid albums are what got me into 7 string. Gcgcgce/ fbfbfbd tunings.
What guitar effects did you use for this video?
I need to fix my 7 string and learn Divine Heresy 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸
It’s such a sick song! I love it
Whitechapel, Suicide Silence, Carnifex are my early 7 string heroes
I played mostly Korn riffs on mine, then sold it
brilliant hahaha
yeah but don't lie everyone's first riff on a seven is something by korn mine was blind
If you tune a 7 string to drop c what do you tune the low b string to
G? I think maybe even lower
@@JamieSlays thanks
If you wanna do a "double drop"/inverted power chord tuning, you can tune like GCGCFAD. If you drop just the lowest string then it's GDGCFAD.
Loomis 🏆🏆🏆🏆
Yehhhhh seed awakening is my fav
I bought a seven for unanswered. Stayed for unearth, then archspire came along….
Archspire 😰 I wish
@@JamieSlays a couple of the riffs, but only like 5%
:D lets play some Korn heh
what song is that first impending doom one?
What Acacia Strain song is that riff from?
Jamie has found his new calling....used car commercial salesman. This cadence feels so flase. If its ironic....cool.
Blind by Korn got me into 7 string
Brilliant song!!
that guitar is damn nice
I really like it
Yeh!! Me tooooo
@@JamieSlays I want to have one too.
Where can I buy it?
@@macabrecreation1067there's a link in the description
@@aphelionmk1 thank you
Maybe I'm weird, I got into extended-range guitars listening to After The Burial
For me it was Soil the Stillborn by Infant Annihilator. Well technically it needs 8 strings but still..
Haha yea what a banger. Love that album. Can’t play any of the songs tho haha
Sick looking guitar, but that 25.5 scale just aint it for me. I feel like if you are going to play in Drop A or lower you really need an extra inch in scale for better tension. But thats just me. Great video brother.
❤
🙇♂️
I want a 7 string, so I can play Doom Metal.
just made the switch, I'm pleased greatly.
A good song to get used to the seven string with is pagan by vitalism.
Jesus that song is intense haha
Not a single Nevermore riff. Wow.
What about Korn?
I didn’t really like Korn growing up. I do now though
TTEOTD are the reason I played a 7 string. They were from my hometown and I’m still good friends with the guys. They toured with As I Lay Dying when their album Malice dropped. Since it was around my 21st birthday, they got me backstage to hang out with the guys in AILD. It was a memorable night for sure.
I tune mine as ADADGBE
learned how to play a 7 string because of self titled deftones record
I am a straight man and I must say, you are such a beautiful man.
Why thank you 🙇♂️
My reason for my seven string: BABYMETAL
Yehhhhhh I love it. I saw the guitars in Japan last year
Isn't it great paying for an extra string and rarely using anything besides the lowest two strings?
Haha yeh unless you play some of the songs i mentioned in the video :)
No Korn?
Nothing by Morbid Angel? :(
I didn’t like them growing up. I do now!
i love this vid but i have no need for a 7, just buy some thick ass strings. i mean the only band that requires the upper string is like korn and stuff. strings are waaayyyy cheaper than a guitar.
7-string is a definitely awesome tool but this video shows almost nothing about it. Instead, it mostly proves the point of 'just getting a 6-string and tunning it lower'. 6-string baritone and a pitch pedal do a great job together
Still, there ARE riffs and crazy chords that are easier and more 'natural' to be played on a 7-string, too bad that most examples here are not showing this =(
Indeed. Exactly like I say in the talking parts :) I’m only showcasing riffs but the songs I’m referencing are good examples. Also this isn’t a review of the guitar. It’s a riff medley. I have done a review of this guitar if you’d like to watch that one
faillllllllllllllled creatttttttttttttttttttttionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn🤘🤘
"Mastering the 7 string guitar is incredibly difficult".
Riff 1... lol
I don’t get it 😂
Psychosocial for me
Korn
