Picking up a 7 string guitar today. Haven't had one before. Going to sound heavy as fuck!!!
Also fuck work today lol
I did not know 7 string was an option. TIL
They can go down to 9 these days. There's ones that have even more range sometimes too
It allows for a much lower in tone tuning which works really well for heavier music.
It sounds like an odd mix of percussive and melodic.
Play some Polyphia for us!
Haaaaah! I can maybe a minute of one of their songs and then I accepted that I'm probably never gonna be good enough to play a whole song lol
A minute is more than most people haha
Tune down to drop A for maximum djonk.
I've also found 7 string sets weirdly light for the type of guitar they go on
It's in drop a flat lol
