7-string Megadeth

lucasreis · 02-07-2008, 08:39 AM

I love Korn but the first time I heard about seven-strings guitar was when I got Passion & Warfare in 1991 (the album is from 1990 but I got it in 1991). I thought that neck was kinda big on the cover and I read on a magazine that he used a seven-string guitar. I was like WTF? Seven-strings? Interesting!

I heard about them again because of Morbid Angel, and then Korn, but since I never found any seven-string I downtuned one of my sixes just to get that kind of tone. In 2001 I got my first seven (which is the only one I have really) and I really liked it.

So this diapers thing is really ridiculous, when I first heard of it I was 8, and I was starting to play guitar. And I guess everybody has the internet and wikipedia and know about Van Epps and the other pioneers, so, no need to explain.

Ok, ok let's forget about the diapers and focus on Megadeth+Chris Broderick+7 strings guys! :P Don't be a cranky old fart like me, lol.

Also, I didn't mention anything about Dave playing 7, just Chris playing 7 and if Dave would allow him to sneak in a few 7 string riffs.

I did check Wikipedia just to get my facts straight but I also have most of George Van Epps' records. And I actually like KoRn and all 7 string bands/players, from Marco Sfogli to To-Mera, so relax, hehe...

i dont recall when i discovered 7 strings... but i recall when i discovered songs with riffage falling below Eflat. I first took note with when God of Emptiness from Morbid Angel... then Domination, then At The Gates' Slaughter of the Soul, etc. I was a little late on discovering Steve's P&W.

I remember thinking "goddamn this is heavy; I wonder if Megadeth is going to tap into this 'new' relm.... and it would be soooo cool".

I still dont think it would happen... but to see Dave lighten up on stage and let the band fool around a little bit with some of their songs would be a lot of fun. Kinda like when they do their Symphony jam session.

I'm totally hoping for a moment when Megadeth is jamming a song, then dave let's chris branch off into a low b moment with a deth song while Mustaine bows out, then lets chris morph into his evening solo spot. This may be the only realistic chance of us seeing chris put his low b into use with Megadeth.... a moment when he takes a solo and dave bows out of the spot light for a couple of minutes.

I first heard of 7 strings about 2-3 months after I started playing guitar. I was wondering about learning some Morbid Angel and Cannibal Corpse, and someone said something about 7 strings. I was like "7 string? Double you tee eff dewd?!". I bought my first 7 string a couple months later. Honestly, I don't play much on a 7 I couldn't play on a down tuned 6. What I enjoy most about 7 strings is the fact I can play my downtuned shit, then I can switch and play something else for a 6 string, and if it's something I know the solo to (or attempt to play because my lead chops suck) I can do that without putting it down and grabbing another axe.

True! Having a 7 is such a handy thing and makes you a more versatile player. It's definitely more than the lower notes but they'd still be there when you need 'em. Unlike a down-tuned axe, wherein you either need to have a spare in standard tuning or you can transpose notes on the fly!

Kinda OT: Chris owning Marty Friedman's solo on tornado of souls. (shitty quality).

kmanick · 02-07-2008, 10:38 AM

here's another live clip of Chris with Dave.

and symphony of Destruction (shitty sound though)
but he totally nails the solo.

Jim Antonio · 02-07-2008, 10:39 AM

Haha I was about to post that Ken! I compared that with Glen's Tornado solo (also in youtube) on a Dean Cadillac and man, Chris just kicks his ass! You would expect that with Glen using that Tascam GT he'd nail the solos note-for-note but no. I think Glen's an excellent lead guitarist but Chris is just the most logical choice after Marty. Sorry Al & Glen fans...
