I know more of you owe some homage to the man!

BOW!

twas a year or two ago. He played with Torche. It was in support of Lifeline. He played quite a long set actually. This is how cool JKB is....he invited the crowd to come to brooklyn to hang out at a party he was DJing. He seemed like such a super nice and humble dude. I cant wait to hear the next actual album he puts out.

Jeff Loomis
John Petrucci
George Van Eps < dude is crazy.
Greg Rapaport < awesome. Listen/DL for free at his website "11th Portal" and "The Brawler", add headphones = blow you away.

Muhammed Suicmez

I just checked out some of your music and I love it! I find it absolutely amazing. I will definitely be checking out the albums ASAP.

It's also great to see a musician like you so close up in the NW, it seems almost every musician I find around here is either into indie music or technical and/or brutal death metal.

can't lie...it was koRn. i was obsessed with them when i was a young teenager couldn't afford an ibanez so i bought my c-7. i l8r started liking much heavier music and now play death metal but i think they pretty much started it all.

TheGuitarNinja · 05-13-2010, 07:40 AM

I bought my first 7 as an impulse buy at a pawn shop. As soon as I got home I tuned it to Bb and the first song I played was either New Millennium Cyanide Christ, or Born. So there we go. Meshuggah and Nevermore.

GoreNotCore · 05-13-2010, 09:08 AM

I knew korn had 7 strings since i was a little kid, but i never cared.

1: Jeff Loomis. when i was like 13 he was the shit for me.

2:Rusty Cooley. he used to do guitar clinics all over the place and i met him a few times

i would say steve vai but what the hell does he use the universe for? his songs are never that low.

MetalBuddah · 05-13-2010, 09:40 AM

It all started when I listened to KoRn back in middle school...had no clue they used 7 strings since I didn't play guitar till after middle school. I always digged their sound. Then as I started playing 6 string I just wanted to go lower and lower with my tuning so it was a natural thing. But that was influence mainly by people like:
Loomis:

Cooley:

Keith Merrow:

John Petrucci:

a_hub10 · 05-13-2010, 03:22 PM

i might catch a lot of shit for this but i really became aware of seven strings after i started listening to bands like Whitechapel, Suicide Silence, and Impending Doom. After i saw Oceano's old guitarist playing a C-7 ATX at a show i knew i had to have it.

Korn, Cannibal Corpse and Meshuggah

Konfyouzd · 05-13-2010, 03:56 PM

I had no idea Cannibal Corpse used 7s...

TheWreck · 05-13-2010, 04:51 PM

On "Gallery of Suicide" and "Bloodthirst" they imo totaly shredded their guitars!

MF_Kitten · 05-13-2010, 06:48 PM

Korn, Bulb/Periphery, and Meshuggah. mostly the two second ones, particularly Bulb. Korn just put it's existence and low tuned sound in my head.

Choop · 05-13-2010, 08:29 PM

Steve Vai as actually the first artist that got me interested in 7 strings surprisingly, the concept of the 7 string guitar was just really awesome to me. Later I discovered other artists that used 7's, namely Loomis and Petrucci...now I'm trapped forever! D:

-One- · 05-13-2010, 08:40 PM

Well, I'd been listening to Korn, Deftones, and Vai for ages, and then I discovered Dream Theater, which really piqued my interest in a 7-string, but it wasn't until seeing Suicide Silence and Megadeth live (back when Chris still used his seven at least once a night) that really got me wanting one.

ddtonfire · 05-13-2010, 08:42 PM

I was first introduced to seven strings with Dream Theater/John Petrucci. I thought it would be cool to have one. Then I heard Misha Mansoor's music, and I realized that I needed one.

ephrion · 05-13-2010, 10:38 PM

Mercenary, Epica, Scar Symmetry, Nevermore...

So many bands with a style I love play 7s. Why don't I?

more often than not its just the rhythm tracks that use all 7 strings on his earlier records. thats why for more or less his entire repetoire HIS lead part can be played on 6 strings, which he clearly prefers
