Ummm,,, I got carried away with the rant smiley. I meant to have it just behind Steve and John, because John rarely plays his 7, and Steve well,,, never plays a 7 live.

Jani Limmatainen (sp?) played a seven on a couple of tracks on 'Reckoning Night'. Shawn Lane had a Vigier seven, but I don't think he ever recorded with it.

How about Greg Howe, Alex Lifeson or Jim Matheos?
Yeah, but I wanna seen Jani go really indepth with it.:yesway:

errr... I think his signature guitar would suck... it would probably be 7 strings, thicker neck than a Gibson, and only allow powerchords to be played through a shitty sounding rig.:hbang: hahahah

I happen to agree. But I think reverse headstocks look ugly on just about any guitar... :rolleyes:

I'd give 7s axe to Mohammed Suicmez (Necrophagist lead guitar/screamer), I'd pay to be able to see that shit :)

Cannibal Corpse, I think they have used 7s for recording, but on both DVD's I have they only play 6's.

And of course Buckethead (again, I know he uses 7s for recording, but I would like to see him play a Universe or something instead of that Bigass LP)

Actually Steve Vai did a song on his newest release "Real Illusions: Reflections" thats pretty much all based on the UV.. he even plays a 7 string acoustic guitar later in the song.. the song is called "Under It All" and you should all check it out! Its pretty heavy considering his usual style!

But i totally agree.. He should use his UVs much more! I dont know whats keeping him from doing it.. pretty weird actually..

I'd like to see Dave Navarro play a 7string..

He played B tuned stuff on the last album.

Thats true...but maybe (and hopefully) he has just given in with all the tuning down a shit load and just bought a 7-string...he knows its the right thing to do deep down lol.:hbang:


+1 for Buckethead...he needs to get out there with some custom chicken-e-fied (or possibly chicken-fried) 7-string. :shred:

Adressing the issue that Steve Vai dosn't use his UV much.

Wasn't reason he wanted a seven string because he was fascinated with the #7, and didn't he originally try to get a high a string? And then settled for a low B and experimented with it on Passion and Warfare.

Exactly! Now imagine how much they could rock out with three times as many strings! :lol:

If Matthias IA Eklundh had a seven, how would he tune it?
