Hey guys, I really hope this is suitable for this forum as I really didn't want to join a dedicated forum. And chapman sticks/warr guitar's/whatever other makes... are really the definition of extended range instruments (not looking for an argument if people disagree with me, I mean I'm a 7 string dude myself, this would be for my other guitarist or bassist who is too lazy to go on a forum themselves :L).
Anyway I was wondering whether a CS/WG/WOM is any good at metal, I seen loads of vids of good ol' boys playing some very nice jazzy stuff on them, I've also seen behold the artopus who I think are talented, but pretty bloody dire, but we don't want any of our music to sounds like that kinda of thing.
TBH what I'm mostly wondering about is
1) How do they sound distorted?
2) To repeat a note ya have to do some sort of hammer on I'm guessing? If so is it hard to play conventional-ish stuff on it?
3) Anybody have any hands on experience?
Thank ever so much, hope this hasn't been too round about :L
Tom
