Best practise for 7s

[Loganator456]

Hey guys, what do you think is the best metal band for really technical 7 string stuff? I'm mostly into death metal, but really any metal, except nu metal.(sorry) I just want something really technical that will push what I can do with a 7 string guitar.

Necrophagist should keep you busy

take the early meshuggah songs and make death metal covers of them.

Isn't Necrophagist in D Standard or am I mistaken?

What would that be on a 7 string? (n00b question )

3 fret

but transpose it down to B if you want to play it there. Transposing music is some of the most important things you can learn, take your favorite song and transpose it to ever key on as many strings as possible.

True, could do that. I was just curious either way.

I use guitarpro for that type of stuff, real easy.

yes I am an idiot Necrophagist stuff is all six string... don't know what I was thinking.

You dont need anything new just because it has one extra string. Treat it like a guitar man, do what it is u do on a 6 string just be mindful of the extra one. If u want a suggestion as to what to jam along to i highly recommend Unearth. It's technical but it's soulful and groovy too. Good ol thrash, dont go over the top with Necrophagist n stuff, that's just being technical for the sake of it, it's not music.

I'd strongly strongly disagree with that statement.

 

[Scarve]

I always thought it took much time to GET BACK to a 6

 

[skinhead]

Divine Heresy stuff it's amazing, some old Meshuggah from the chaosphere or the destroy erase improve cd .

I agree with you on both counts. Unearth isnt very technical, and Necrophagist is badass.

uggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh...................

Unearth (no offence fans) are a pathetic, pimpled, teenage grope compared to necrophagist..............and I know a thing or two about pathetic, pimpled, teenage groping

I disagree with that SOOOOOO much

hahahaha, I use guitarpro to sometimes, One of the best function of that program is that you can transpose it to mandolin/violin tuning also. I had a cannibal corpse period a couple of month back, resulting in me shredding CC on the mandolin, my wife was not happy

 

[soldierkahn]

i suggest playing Lacuna Coil, Flaw (if you havent heard of them you fucking suck!) , Fear Factory, Trapt, Ra, Soilwork, DevilDriver.....i can keep going

 

[ZeroSignal]

Lacuna Coil FTW! Those boys use their 7's to their true potential imo.
