In this guitar lesson, Steve Stine discusses some things to think about before buying a 7 string guitar, and whether it's the right choice for you.
The most important factors (in my opinion) to think about are:
1. Does the 7th string confuse you to the point of frustration, or can you see the 7th string as simply an extension?
2. Does the neck width and length feel comfortable to you?
3. Do you see a benefit big enough to justify the cost and the transition?

@pxjesse8128 4 года назад

I was a bit hesitant at first but I'm probably gonna buy a 7 string soon, it seems like the convenient option. I've been into heavier music for a few months now and I'm constantly tuning my guitar to drop C or lower, which sounds like actual ass on my Squier Strat. About time I upgraded anyway, the Squier was fun to play when I started learning guitar, but in the long run it's pretty bad.

@xplanet2112 5 лет назад

I think the less you know the easier the transition is because you’re (I’m) clueless in the first place. I have a nice 8 too, it’s just another tool. 👍🏼 Actuality, and I digress, the longer scale length suggested by extended range guitars feels more natural to me as a bass player due to tension but that concept is now taken on by multi scale guitars due to the correct/assumed tension. n shit.

@TheSpeenort 5 лет назад

I was originally looking for a baritone guitar when I bought mine, almost exactly like your Ibanez. I have mine tuned a bit differently: I have it tuned ADGCEAD so I have an extra high D string. It took a bit of woodshedding to get used to that extra high string but now, when I'm playing in the higher scales, it has become second nature and I miss it a bit when I'm playing regular guitars.

The additional String on a 7 String Guitar is another B String (2 Octaves below the 2nd String) which makes it a great extended range Guitar to start with. The Low B String on a 7 String Guitar makes it easier to transpose to match the ranges of other instruments & Vocalists especially on Church Gigs.

Bougth a 7 string 1 year and a half ago, I ve played it without any issue since the first day. One thing I had in mind before buying, as you said, the scale (25.5) and the correct gauge for the 7th string after. Love it! My 6 strings too!

@jasonstallworth 5 лет назад

Steve, dude, I say 'No' for most guitarists, and here's why: Most 7 string players become like a mindless robot play that 1 heavy string, all the time. And then their music and everything they play/write revolves around that, thus every song sounds the same. So I encourage 7 string players (and those thinking about making the jump), make sure you don't limit yourself. Don't just hang on those super ultra heavy notes all the time. Play riffs! And play and write songs in different keys (not everything has to be in that heaviest key). If you can break past all of that, then yes, by all means get a 7! And yes, it is a transition (that extra string 'gets in the way' it seems) but you'll get used to it. And dude, I do like that Ibanez you have!! I have the ESP E-II Horizon FR-7. Plays beautifully, but I'd like to also have an Ibanez 7 string.

@senspartech3533 5 лет назад

Dunno.. I think that, outside of professional musicians, music is about having fun and enjoying ourselves. I suppose for some, its about pleasing the sensibilities of others. If someone wants to sit on a single string and enjoys it thoroughly, more power to 'em. Its not my thing, but it doesnt have to be.

@sighermike Год назад

"....I'm a pretty short guy". Dude just rose three levels in my book. ;-) In all seriousness. I bought a 7-string back in about 2012, i think. And I couldn't get the hang of it, it threw me off and I didn't like it. I had an old Schecter Omen-7. The neck was wide, the thing just didn't sit right in my hands, and that dumb 7th string just jacked me up. I vowed to never play a 7 again. On a side note, I've been playing a 6-string bass for over a decade and I've had nothing less than a 5-string since the late 90's. Fast forward to earlier this year (2023) and I found a Sterling JP70 for $225. I heard the Petrucci models felt smaller and were easier to play. So, I picked it up. I've been playing it a lot lately, trying to figure out how to play it like a guitar vs just djent notes on the B string. I've started treating it the way I would play a 6-string, like that lower B was just a string I can play chords on, single notes, etc. just like I did with my E string. Now, I'm having a blast with it.

@prism223 Год назад

I have an 8 string but not a 7 so it might not translate perfectly, but the extra strings do have a price. It's possible to adapt and play 6 string chords on extended range guitars but it will never be as easy and natural due to the extra strings. My advice is to use each tool where it works best.

@jacerogers4477 4 года назад

So as a beginner would a 7 string be a bad idea? I’ve held a few and they feel better in my hand then most 6 strings. My hands aren’t huge but it just feels like it actually fits in my hand.

As a beginner, you should probably just buy whatever guitar gets you most excited to pay. Once you fall in love you'll happily go back to buy another. Getting a guitar that excites you will keep you excited to play for the rest of your life

@andrewharper1609 5 лет назад

I have to admit a seven is something I have always been curious about since I heard Steve Vai had one. I don't like Nu Metal so that removes one reason to buy one. I understand that seven stringed instruments existed before the Universe but it popularised the concept among among rock guitarists previously it was mostly played by jazz players. I think it was one of the first electric seven strings. My problem is I feel a compulsion to buy so many different guitars I'll probably never get around to it. I'd like a twelve to fill out my rhythm playing and an archtop for those chill jazz moments. I already own five electrics an acoustic and a cigar box plus ukes. Logistically I probably wouldn't find enough time to fit it in. Especially since I seem to have fallen into trading guitars on the side to pay for my habit. Some people have drugs I have guitars ok? Sorry I haven't bought a guitar for about a week I'm starting to white knuckle. Have a good un all.

Well brother, after researching quite a lot, I’m actually picking out the Schecter C-7 FR SLS Elite, it also has a 26.5” scale as the KM7. I find my Schecter has more value in the price range than the Ibanez. But, it’s your choice, since you’re at the $2,000 range. I would say, at that price range, go for the Ibanez or ESP E-II. :)

@Yeshuahasrisen 3 года назад

No body ever talks about the difficulty of switching back to a 6 string lol. I don't know it's probably just me maybe I spent too long on a 7 string because now when I play a 6 I almost always go one string down. Could have something to do with learning by ear first because I don't see the first string as the first it was the last string for me I was 7 years old and I had no one to teach me. I have tried my entire life to resolve this issue it still trips me up when I'm reading tablature or script. Thanks for the Video it's some interesting thoughts. I do have a question you may have answered in another video, Whats the significance of the tuners beeing on just the top or just the bottom? I have a 7 string Ibanez like you but my tuners are on the top. Is there a difference in how it holds tune or possibly even effect the tone of the 7th? I honestly didn't think about it until I seen your Ibanez.

Just got a 7 string multiscale Jackson. I was really worried that it would be awkward and confusing. It's not. I just play it as a normal guitar and if I do pentatonic runs I sometimes end up on the 7th string (low B). I have more choice in a certain position on the neck and don't have to move up and down the neck as much. I don't play metal or heavy stuff at all btw.... If you play atmospheric music with delay and reverb, the low B is nice as a background drone or just a pick and slide rumble. I love it. Multiscale is absolutely no problem, was used to it in an hour or so. Mine is a 25,5 to 27 inch multiscale.

@domagojoinky8262 5 лет назад

So it is like the 5 string bass, you can also play 4 string lines on it as is, and it gives also an option of going lower or playing something in a different position. Low B string is a great addition to both bass and guitar. So I am for seven string guitar as it can play six string songs, and also it can make for fat riffs, and it can give a nice cello like sound while playing on the seventh string.

woah ho ho! put the guns away, quickdraw! good info man. been on the fence and you got the km7 which you said works well for small hands. Ibanez a little better option just for the shorter scale length? Or is the neck thinner as well?

@stinemusiclessons 5 лет назад

I’d say the Ibanez is more comfortable for smaller hands, as it’s the same scale length as their 6th string counterparts, and it’s still thin. The Schecter is very thin, but the longer scale length takes some getting used to :-)

Why didn’t you continue playing that Schecter KM7 MKIII but you switched to Ibanez

I had a 10 year hiatus on playing guitar. I came back in 2017 with a 8 string Schecter, wasn't a big deal since I was re-learning how to play guitar again,

@diegobado1584 5 лет назад

Thank you Steve, such a good advice!

When I picked up a 7 string for the first time I didn't know what to do with the extra string so I drop tuned it to a G which worked much better for me at the time. I wouldn't mind trying it again with a more standard tuning.

I want a 7 string cuz of korn

@thespotlights9278 Год назад

Im having a hard time dialing in a Schecter Reaper multiscale 7 string. Mostly, the low B (drop A). I get nearly no actual chug out of the lowest string.... I get more of a plunky, Korn type of tone.... But, not a true chug. It is a 27 x 25.5 with a .62 on the low B (drop A). I am using Helix Native , ML Sound Labs Mikko Mesa OS IR.

@stinemusiclessons Год назад

Hey thanks for commenting. Maybe adding a bit of compression might help. Just to level the tone.

@johnwehby7371 5 лет назад

Thanks, Steve! Do you worry about stepping on your bass player?

@stinemusiclessons 5 лет назад

Many times, the bass player would play a 5 string with a low B as well, so it’s really not any different from that perspective.

Vette video. Heb een Harley Benton Amarok 7 string. Ben onlangs ook begonnen met RU-vid. Zou je mij feedback willen geven?.

@jj_zeroshiki 5 лет назад

6 string - Strandard E to Drop C 7 string - Standard B to Drop G 8 string - Standard F# to Drop E 9 string - are you being serious? Just go buy a bass guitar. You're already past Drop E with an 8 string

9 string - After the Burial

@nick3718 5 лет назад

Drop B works on a 6 string tho. B standard is for 7 string

what’s the intro song?

@cyborgchimpy Год назад

I got a 7 string multiscale guitar last week and been playing everyday since. everytime I switch back to my 6 string i'm like WHOA, i'm GOOODD *SHREDS*

@yannara 3 года назад

Not everyone are capable of playing 6 string stuff on 7 string guitar. The thickest string will disturb you. As an example, I can't play Metallica Enter Sandman on E with 7 string.

@jeffthecoomer7178 3 года назад

Ok so I thought longggg and hardd about it for two weeks and iv decided that i dont have much use for a 7 string as i dont play anywhere near that low a tuning. -_- 6 string here all the way 🤟

@lucyferina 3 года назад

it won't throw you off if you like me are a drummer and just mess with guitars, and due to time now I mostly learn things by watching videos and not actually holding a guitar. For some reason I have improved my playing even though I have not held a guitar in years, what I mean things that I used to struggle to play seem very easy to me now. It most be that frame of mind thing...

@adamkahn8645 2 года назад

have you done a similar type of video but instead of 7strings, use baritones?

@bradcarr2444 Год назад

I'm curious as a complete beginner is it wise to start playing guitar on a 7 string so there's zero transition issues or start on a 6 string then switch to 7 string.

@stinemusiclessons Год назад

Hey thanks for commenting. Usually the transition goes from 6 to 7. & string guitar will have 6 extra notes and the chord shapes will be a bit different. You can start on a 7 but I'd still practice the chords and learn them as if I was playing a 6 string so you don't feel too lost when you pick up a 6 string. It also depends on the music you'd like to play. Hope this answers your question.
