I sit in drop G or drop G# most of the time. Fun little tuning trick: drop tune your 2nd string a 1/2 step above your 3rd string. You can do some very fun slide dissonant things!

I've been REALLY digging Tesseract tuning as well: G#-F-A#-D#-F-A#-D#!

After having mine for a few months I am now perpetually stuck in drop G with standard tuning. Still getting my Killswitch engage harmonies but with Chelsea grin drops. I don't think I can ever play a 6 string again. Not some elitist thing. I just love the 7 so much.

@WoWMinGM Год назад

Same here, the 7 just feels better to play as well with shorter string spacing and wider neck. I'm in drop A but use pitch shifting to go low.

@WoWMinGM 8 месяцев назад

@@eddyray666 i use Neural DSP Petrucci. But right now I have thicker strings on my guitar so it’s in drop F# so I use pitch shifting much less often. I was gonna buy a Digitech Drop pedal though, they seem great too.

Back a long time ago, I was a 6-string player. Then I got into heavier music and found out they used 8 stringed guitars. So, naturally I tried one out and it was like a completely different instrument. Not only in tone, but the feeling as well. I figured it was simply too big and not right for me. So, then I tried a 7 string. Instantly fell in love. Super comfortable to play, and I found out if you drop the low B to an A, you get your dropped tuning as well while keeping standard tuning. This is the part that really stuck out because I constantly switched between dropped and standard. To me, it makes the most musical sense to drop your 7 string down and I haven't looked back. I will never buy a 6 string again. Perhaps I'll try out an 8 string again one day to find that it's much more comfortable now that I'm used to the 7 string. I'll do the same thing with it, too. Lowest string at E, the rest in standard unless I want to use drop A. Then it's just a matter of drop tuning the low B. Again, to me this makes the most musical sense.

If you do get used to an 8, you should progress to a 9 and then a 10 for shits and giggles

@diegobado1584 5 дней назад

Key (to me) is scale length and to some extent neck width and strings spacing, an item nobody seems to take serioua until arpeggioa tend to sound muted on 7,8 strings and beyond for it having less space between strings, this is a big issue id you have fat fingers like me, believe it. Also, a good 6 strings baritone guitar will roar much better than a regular 25,5" scale 7 strings in the same tuning, even more in tunings you talk here like drop G# and lower. Also, beginner players tend to go lower with 7 or 8 strings cause they always think in standard tuning, but there are plenty othwr tunings to try on a 6 string that makes it a wider range instrument like open C, open B, robert fripp's new standard, drop B (late slayer) custom A# (pentagram) apart from the more popular drop tunings like drop D or drop C of course.

Drop F# on a Schecter Reaper 7 multiscale. No rhyme or reason other than 2 of my absolute favorite guitar players abuse that tuning lol. Jesse Cash and Mike Stringer.

@brettmarlar4154 11 месяцев назад

Coming from a largely Jazz background, my "standard" tuning is basically the same as your PRS tuning; only up a half step/tone. I find it easier to play bigger chord voicings that your other two examples don't allow. Of course this does make using all 7 strings in a lead context a bit more challenging, but there are trade-offs in every tuning. I have also experimented with Open G and a combined 4th/5th tuning. (Lowest 3 strings tuned in 5ths, highest 4 tuned in 4ths with the 4th and 5th strings a minor 3rd apart. Low to high: G,D,A,C,F,Bb,Eb.) These latter two aren't very conducive to lead playing, but give some awesome chord voicings.

There's an issue about dropping low tuning: the string starts to buzz. We have to adjust the strings action and sometimes it gets too far from the fretboard.

My 7 string is in a very odd tuning. BEAC#F#BE, aka Open B11(no3). (Note: BEADGBE is Open Bm7add11#5.) This allows me to do some pretty tasty, big chords using 6 or 7 strings, without altering things so dramatically that I can't play regular major or minor chords.
