Hi, I just have some questions about seven string guitar, and more specifically, switching to it from six string.
I want to get a Schecter Damien 7 for my first seven string, since it's in my price range. But I can only get so many guitars, and I have to make sure the guitar I pick is the right one, the one I know is for me. I haven't played it yet, but I have some questions before I go to guitar center and get pressured to buy something.
#1. The guitar of which I speak is baritone scale, right? I've heard that it's not that hard to switch to baritone scale, but the guy I heard it from, was, to put it bluntly, a lying asshole. So I need to know the truth. Should standard Gibson scale be that hard to transition from?
#2. Big, open chordy riffs. I really like Opeth. Does having that seventh string there make it harder to play riffs from songs like Blackwater Park, Godhead's Lament, and others.
#3. The review didn't really specify, should the next on the above mentioned guitar work well for shred and neoclassical? That's really what I'm into, and having that 7th string should help with sweeps and long scalular runs. Along with prog, and Meshuggah.
That's it. Sorry if I somehow broke your internet etiquette rules.
