Good tunes to learn for beginners to guitar.

s7eve · 11-25-2007, 04:39 AM

The other thread was for people who are new to sevenstring but have a guitar background.

This ones for absolute beginners starting out on a seven.

I've started learning Replica, I really suck.

What are other good songs for a beginner to learn?

Severed or Sp Lit from Chimaira. The tune is Drop A on 7-string, so no difficult there. Also Archetype from FF is pretty easy.

s7eve · 11-30-2007, 06:45 AM

Anymore suggestions.

My opinion is use your seven as a six with addes lower B, so you can learn other songs played on 6 string and play them now in different tonalities using low B or play them using other fingerings with lowB.

learn crazy train by ozzy, or orion by metallica, great songs for beginers. barr maybe the crazy train solo

oh shit, seven string hey....
the heart collecter by nevermore is great, quite simple and fun to play!

I think you should be learning guitar in general, not nessecarily a song that is played on the low B. unfortunately in my opinion there are two difficulties of seven-string guitar songs: extremely easy and hard. there is a lot less music out there, so often times you are choosing between Fear Factory and Dream Theater etc (neither of which I would recommend for an absolute beginner)

Edgecrusher by Fear Factory maybe.

Its a good idea to start where all the metal guys start: Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth. There is a good reason for this- namely that they have a lot of songs that span a wide variety of difficulty levels (and even solos that spawn a large variety of difficulties). None of those songs use the B string.

Dead Inside by Chimaira is a good one too for 7 string

For rock stuff try A Perfect Circle, they mostly tune to C# and a lot of their songs can go quite well on a 7. Judith is a great tune and was played on a 6 tuned B, F#, B, E, G#, C# (Basically a drop D tuning 1 and a half steps down) and would be cool for a 7... actually I might give that a burl now!

Try the beginning of Dream Theater's A Change of Seasons (just the acoustic thing at the start and the first heavy riff). Obviously, unless you are insane, don't try learning the whole song.
