New to the 7

calell83 · 09-20-2006, 09:51 AM

I was wondering if anyone has any websites where there is tab for a 7. Even when I look uop tab for bands that play seven...they change it to a 6.

Also, if anyone knows where I can find some riffs to help get used to using the seventh string.

Well how a song is tabbed (ie for a 6 string or a 7) depends on how it was tabbed. Tab sites just collate tabs that users submit.

As for good riffs for the 7th string, just look up some bands you like who use 7's. Korn, Fear Factory, Nevermore, Scar Symmetry, Deftones etc.

A few to get going

Don't forget to change the Band name / song name for what your searching

Look for Vai - 7 string song
Fear Factory - Cars
Joe Satriani - Searching
Dave Weiner - Dave's Party Piece

I know these were already for 7 with guitar pro

Dream Theater and Steve Vai tab books usually have everything written out for seven strings (unlike the tabs in guitar mags which often transpose seven string stuff onto a detuned 6 to make it more accessible).

Alternatively, you could just do your own...

Hey Dude
I dont personally know your level but I found that buying Oncoming Storm by Unearth has been one of my best 7 string choices so far, also
Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor
Fear Factory - Demanufacture are good for getting a feel. Nevermore arent easy though.
Another thing is to just play songs like Devildriver and Machinead 's that are in Drop B on your 7. Also good for note memorisation.

you could also, get winamp with the Pitch shifter plugin and drop down you favorite songs down to your B string. and play along with it. at least the rhythm parts.

But you could do that with a down-tuned six. The great thing about a 7-string is that you have the low and the high at the same time. With a down-tuned six you just have the low.

I've noticed that most 7-string songs tabbed in text on the internet are transcribed to a 6-string, but most 7-string songs tabbed in Guitar Pro or Power Tabs are tabbed for a 7-string (and are usually very very accurate).

I'd recommend Unearth, Scar Symmetry, Mercenary, some Steve Vai, some Joe Satriani (Mind Storm, 7 String, etc.), and such.
