Hey guys
please forgive my uber noob question about 7-strings
i guess this is more of a fundamental question.
I play all styles of music. The one absolute thing that i *HATE* is having many different guitars with different tunings, especially for a live show.
So now comes my question:
If i have a 7-string with the traditional 6-strings tuned normally but the 7th string tuned down to B or A, will I be able to go from playing Iron Maiden to Arch Enemy without having to switch guitars?
i know that Arch Enemy uses a lower tuning, so the hand positions would obviously be different, and they also use super heavy strings, but with a suitably tuned 7th string, would i be able to make this transition without having to have another guitar with separate tunings?
