What are some good 7 string songs to learn that arent by Nevermore or Dream Theater?

Metal Messiah · 01-15-2006, 11:10 PM

I'm getting my first 7 soon and since I have nothing to do I'm lining up a bunch of songs to learn for when I get it. I already have all the songs by Nevermore and DT that I'm capable of playing, can someone give me some more reccomendations? Thanks in advance.

Sevendust has a lot of great tunes that play out well on the seven.

Unearth
Mercenary (no tabs, though)
Demon Hunter (drop-B)
Devildriver (drop-B)

Reflux
Meshuggah

Liquid Tension-Acid Rain
John Petrucci-Jaws of Life

I hope you don't count those as DT

There's always some Rusty Cooley if you're up to the challenge.

Yeah, I forgot about them, but yeah. Anything off of Passion and Warfare. And if you have a pedal with a pitch-shift option or a digitech whammy, I'd reccommend going for Satch's "Searching". Very awesome song indeed

I'll put in a second word for Meshuggah. There's an awesome tab for "Ritual" on mysongbook.com.

Thanks again everyone. I know about Rusty Cooley but I'm not nearly good enough to attempt any of his stuff.
