I actually really like the way Chris plays and the scales he uses. I really don’t think he is playing with no emotion. Just because he likes to play fast, doesn’t mean he is playing with no feeling in my opinion.

the whole idea that emotion in music is bound to how fast you produce sound out of the instrument is foolish, i mean how can someone tell what u feel inside when you are playing ur instrument its fucking dumb

Broderick is like a guitar playing robot to me. Be cause of Janic Gers, Dave Mustaine, Chris Broderick, Michael Amott, Alex Skolnick, Jeff Hanneman, Brian May, Kurt Cobain...

The USA Jacksons are rock solid and amazing. Of course, you get what you pay for with those $2-3k guitars.

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

I have his 7 string USA model in trans white. Best guitar I’ve owned. My only complaint is it’s way to heavy and hurts after a while. A USA Jackson is gonna be different than an imported Indonesian Jackson. That’s how all these companies are. If you want the real thing, gotta spend the money. 90% of guitars are all made by 3 factories and the only difference in company name is design and quality control. It’s the same Koreans and Indonesians making schecter, Jackson, dean etc.

It's rather funny because they were in Nevermore together and Loomis tried out for Megadeth back in the late 80s. He would've gotten the job, but Mustaine thought he was too young at the time. Then years later, Broderick leaves Nevermore and gets a job with Megadeth.

Broderick is a very great musician, guitar player and personality. Besides the excellent knowledge of theory and crystal clean playing he respects his body and keeps it strong against the aging or against extra the difficulties of being on stage long time. It might be either for good looking whatever... I have always curious for Jason Newsted, Ulrich or other skinny musicians not interested about sports, gym etc. We read that Jason injured very bad just because to catch the falling amp. Maybe He could overcome with minor injury, I dont know..

[@snapbacksever9192]

Richard Williams seven string

[@jeffreyburrell]

@@richardwilliams2853 It's a seven string guitar, with the seventh being a low B string. There's a TON of music out there with seven string guitar. Vai was one of the earliest (if not THE guy IIRC), then Korn made it really popular. A bunch of nu metal bands used them in the late 90s and 2000s, but I didn't like many of those bands. However, check out Dream Theater's "Awake" album and Nevermore's "Dead Heart in a Dead World" for what seven string can do in the hands of amazing musicians. There's also a bunch of music out there with 8 string guitar: After The Burial (check out kzbin.info/www/bejne/b52ZZZR6q7yHrM0 to watch the late Justin Lowe shred a 9 string!) and Animals As Leaders. As far as you "picking" a string, you don't really have a choice. I suppose you could try, but a seven string guitar meant to have a low B string will be manufactured to accommodate that lower string; the bridge and nut will be properly made so that the string sits properly, as well as the pickup poles being properly centered, etc. I do remember seven strings like what you wanted: ones with a high A string, but they don't appear to have caught on. I think I remember Greg Howe using one, but I'm not certain. Anyway, good luck with your playing!
