Guitarist you most want to see pick up a 7

[Jerich]

Dragon Force...great band terrible name heheheh!!!....Herman jams too and they are such a bunch of tools too they love having fun...funny guys...SAM is a total Pisser....hehehe!!! Seen Herman give a Clinic he was pretty good outside that whole Hollywood epic metal stuff......

 

[Jakke]

Paaaage..... 7 string Gibson LP, anyone?

 

[bostjan]

Wow! I remember this thread...

Thanks for the bump. Now I want to go through here and see if any of these guys on the list actually ever picked up sevens.

 

[baboisking]

Lamb of god

Opeth

PLEASE!

 

[Evil7]

Mark Morton / Willie Adler both on sevens

Adam Jones ... some seven string tool.

edit...wow got ninja'd real quick!

 

[bostjan]

I still think it'd be amusing to see the guys from The Presidents of the United States of America try to play sevens. A lot of the posts here follow that same suit, naming artists who aren't even known for playing a guitar, yet have a signature model, or artists who play standard guitars with strings removed.

One that hasn't been mentions - Future Man!

Other than that, I don't see why anyone here wouldn't mind seeing their favorite guitarists pick up a seven.

 

[ZXIIIT]

Mark Morton & Willie Adler
James Root & Mick Thomson
John 5
Michael Amott & Christopher Amott
Greg Tribbett (L.D. 50 era...)
Head (uses baritone 6 strings now..)
Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein
Kiefer Sutherland

^Definitely agreed on Greg Tribbett. They should go back to drop B but add a low F# which is what Ryan does anyway.

 

[MikeH]

The Faceless
The Dillinger Escape Plan
The Black Dahlia Murder
Protest The Hero
The Red Chord
Ken Sorceron (in both AW and Aborted)
And weirdly enough, Alexisonfire. I feel like they could do some cool things with the extra range. Plus it's nice to see someone that isn't in metal play 7s every once in awhile.

 

[PyramidSmasher]

Protest the Hero for sure.

 

[All_¥our_Bass]

Adam Jones

 

[TheWreck]

I'd like Pat and Rob from Cannibal Corpse returned too 7's....The stuff Jack Owen and Pat wrote for Gallery of Suicide and Bloodthirst, was really awesome!

 

[ShadyDavey]

Dimebag or Jimi or Randy.

Well, it's November the 5th right?

 

[Black_tear]

Seasick Steve eheh yoda:check him out you must)

Guthrie Govan ( if he already didn't, but i'm not aware)

 

[Daggorath]

Holy bump.

And +1 on Guthrie Govan, as there's apparently nothing he cannot do - and the fact that I've heard he's also a fantastic bass player - it would lead to some very interesting chord melody + bass line playing including slap and whatnot. Charlie Hunter style.

 

[cheepy91]

Eddie Van Halen /thread

 

[Chopsession]

Alex Lifeson, Zakk Wylde, Steve Howe, Adam Jones, Dave Mustaine, The dudes from Maiden.

Oh man, I'd love to hear what Alex Lifeson would do with a 7! As for Zakk Wylde, he's already known to drop his 6th string to a B, A or even G (Counterfeit God).

Seasick Steve eheh yoda:check him out you must)

Saw Seasick Steve live, such an amazing performance. Brilliant character too, very humble. Don't know whether I'd want to see him playing 7s though, wouldn't suit his style.

 

[vampiregenocide]

Dimebag

Shame he hated 7 strings.
