Plus this guitar is fucking astounding - it sounds and plays incredible. I used to say, ‘So what - it has all the notes I need!’ It was a trend at the time a lot of people were doing it. I kept getting questions about tuning down instead of using a seven-string.
Why have a massive neck for your little hands? Why play seven strings when you haven’t learned how to play six? You have to walk before you can run, dude! Obviously, Steve Vai could play anything and sound great, but most of these guys were nothing like him… so back to the E major chord! At least with a seven-string you can still play it like you would a normal guitar.Įarlier on, I didn’t really like them because people kept coming at me because it was cool to have a seven-string, yet most players would only chug on the lower string. It’s so hard to mentally break out and do something different. When you write riffs in drop B or drop A, you end up repeating yourself. To me, it’s just another tool to get creative with. When you’re writing you’ll play different because the strings aren’t dropped.
If I’m sat dicking around, I just like to play in standard tuning. I play it at home - because actually most of the time I’m not using a drop-tuned guitar.
