I bought a baritone 7 string (and played Doomsday by Architects) 

Oh man. I appreciate you sticking it out to get to the video though! haha

@@HaileyThiccc I HAVE to pay for premium. I work at an ad agency so if I have to sit through bad ads, it’s so irritating!

@@HaileyThiccc I had to watch an ad to open my toothpaste this morning 😂

Thankya snes!

It's just so good

Cheers!

Thank you! I'm glad you dig it. :)

Yeah I really like the headstock on this one! Thanks heaps, man. Very kind. ❤️

You have been bamboozled, Elia.

Cheers!

I can hear the guitar just fine on my phone. Use headphones

It might just be me trying to focus on the bass more since I am a bassist.

That could indeed be it haha

Oh geez yeah they would sound muddy down there haha. I've heard great things about the d-activators! Evertune upgrade is definitely on my mind for this one at some point too!

Now they would be fun to riff on.

Hey mate, thanks! Sure. I think it all depends on what you have already and what you want to be able to do. Are you playing heaps of low tuned stuff but your main guitar isn't good for that? Need to cover multiple tunings etc? Like, I have this in drop F# because my other guitars are in standard/drop D, so it fills a need by doing something they can't do. If that's what you're trying to do then filling out your arsenal with a baritone sounds smart! But if your having trouble with your main guitar and it needs upgrading to something and you don't want it dropped super low then maybe the standard version would be best? It's hard to say without knowing the situation

any guitar with more than 25.5 inches of scale is a baritone. the longer scale length makes it easier to intonate lower tunings and gives a bit more of tension. most baritones are 27, but you can find 26.5, 28 and 29.4/30. Almost all 8 strings are baritones 27 inches, all 9 strings are, mostly 28 or 30inches

Totally understand how that would be confusing! It's pretty much what @Davix-tt9sh said. Usually the baritone threshold is considered to be 27" and above, but a lot of people consider 26.5" to be the threshold. But yes, you're right. Any guitar with a longer scale neck, starting at 26.5"/27" and above is a baritone. 7s, 8s and 9s included!

I use an 8 string 10 - 74 set and skip the .64 for F#. I did give it a setup out of the box but it didn't take much as it's a good quality guitar so the adjustments weren't too major. 🙂

Hey man! Sorry for the late reply. I don't have a rigid routine anymore, I find it hard to keep to a strict routine between work, writing songs, writing riffs for videos and recording etc. But I do have some exercises and runs I like to drill with a metronome. I run over scales while watching stuff and drinking my coffee. I do a lot of improv and legato practice and I've more recently been trying to work on my alternate picking speed and accuracy with exercises to a metronome. Happy to be more specific if you wanted to DM me on instagram!

they sell for around 900€ in europe, idk about america

@@DIM00252 thanks

Cheers man. I'm in Australia and they retail for $2299. Noone sells them for that though haha

@@itsMEADOWS Nice, I’m also in Australia!

Kind of, yeah. Ibanez have a model called the RGDR4327 which is a 7 string with a Floyd and a 26.5" scale length. It's only a half inch shorter than this guitar and it looks VERY similar. It'd be killer if that's what you're looking for!

RG2027XL, great guitar, Wes Hauch has two of them

@@itsMEADOWS That's pretty much exactly what I was looking, for thank you for the suggestion. I knew the price would sting a bit, but I'll have to save up for one of those I think. Also, that's some killer riffing in this vid, I feel like I should have led with that but I'm getting really interested in extended scale guitars because I like low tunings a lot.

@@Davix-tt9sh That sounds like a great option, thanks for the suggestion.

Perfect! Hope you can get your hands on one soon! And thank you, haha.

Yeah, when things get heavy it can be hard to hold your head up under the weight of it so you end up kind of bobbing up and down a bit like this. Hope that helps!

@@itsMEADOWS ah okay! I’m a noob so thought it was a coolness thing ha!

@@donniejean look I do think it'd be a lot less cool if I was playing something sick and sat completely still 😅

@@itsMEADOWS Haha! Right! Like a drummer who just looks like he hates his life since he's way in the back.

Very mean riff indeed

Yeah, he's got such a cool sound to his riffs. It's very refreshing. I like emulating his style as a way of learning so I can better my own writing style in turn.
