The Mirror.

God Hand Apostle · 02-12-2006, 04:22 PM

Cannibal Corpse - Dead Human Collection is always an eye opener when "sixers" watch you play it.

No, the whole song!

Concatenation has some pretty cool riffs too, the slo-mo remix of it is just as br00tal as well.

Nevermore have so many you could write a short story on it, I don't even know where to start.

Some other Corpse ones off the top of my head:
Devoured by Vermin (the bridge riff)
Perverse Suffering
From Skin to Liquid, a great 7-string instrumental
Unleashing the Bloodthirsty (if you know the song, you know the riff haha)
Nothing left to Mutilate
Rotted Body Landslide
They Deserve to Die

Chimaira had some great riffs on their Pass out of Existence album, come to think of it.

And Glass Prison, too.

Though the first 7 song I ever heard was "This Dying Soul" and it was awesome.

As for The Mirror riff, that riff is pretty bland on its own and the only thing that makes it interesting is the rhythm underneath.

Leon · 02-12-2006, 07:10 PM

+2 @ The Mirror...

dun dun dun, dun dun dun, dun dun dun, dun dun dun....

also in the DT vein, check out A Change Of Seasons.

+1 "This Dying Soul" revived my interest in my 7 string (and introduced me to DT)

What about the transition riff into Lie?

Chung dun dun weeeee bumm yeeee-oww!
Chung dun dun weeeee bumm yeeee-oww!
Chung dun dun weeeee bumm yeeee-oww!
Chung dun dun weeeee bumm yeeee-oww!

What about Spokes on the Wheel of Torment by Buckethead? or The Dance of Eternity by Dream Theater (at least until the part where it gets too confusing for me to follow along

)?

The first minute of Unearth's My Desire is pretty fun to rock out!

voidar · 02-12-2006, 08:12 PM

Anything by Beneath The Massacre.

I didn't know buckethead used sevens and hes my favorite guitarist

Have you seen a tab for it? Its one ive been looking for.

bostjan · 02-12-2006, 08:27 PM

Hmm, never seen a Buckethead tab before. Cuckoo Clocks of Hell was done mostly on Sevens tuned down a half step.

My face melted off the first time I heard Moths to Flame.

Errr... the Dance of Eternity, while awesome in the context of the entire concept album, blows by itself

Lie's pretty cool, though.

And let's not forget Jaws of Life

Umm, why does it blow? I love that song.

Well, I overstated a bit, I like the song, but it works best in the whole album context, and by itself it pales in comparison to much better (IMO) DT Instrumentals like Stream of Consciousness or Hells Kitchen.

bostjan · 02-12-2006, 09:50 PM

Hmm. I thought Hell's Kitchen was highly under-rated, but I was a little disappointed with Stream of Consciousness.

Erotomania is really good, too.

Oh yeah but it's not on seven

telecaster90 · 02-12-2006, 09:50 PM

How about every 7 string DT song?

VforVendetta00 · 02-12-2006, 09:51 PM

Carcass - Heartwork
