FIRST Time Playing A Fanned Fret 7-String Guitar | Kiesel AM7

[@RJRonquillo]

🔴 Do you own or have you played a 7+ string multi scale guitar? What riffs would you play?

[@stevechaplin6020]

Smoke on the Water or Stairway to Heaven

[@juanduplays]

change of seasons by Dream Theater

[@mdragon99]

I've got a Kiesel, got it to play Dream Theater, then learned about playing Jazz, then learned I can't play either.

[@DG-po3gi]

Periphery and Dream theater

[@oskarkacin4104]

Which is the first song?

[@JavyonVISION]

Not sure if it djents, but it does appear to djazz.

[@johngerson7335]

Comment of the day!

I'd be willing to bet it would dent *pre-edit *my hypothesis still stands

Funny shit dude!

[@Stretchwreckedem469]

For somebody that doesn’t typically play 7 string, let alone a Multiscale guitar, that was some of the best clean playing I’ve ever seen on a 7 string guitar! 😍

[@isaacw.7523]

Thank for actually making an actual clean demo with the guitar. This answers a lot of questions of mine! Thank you!

[@aidandix7296]

Yaaas some representation for us clean extended range players, it's really hard looking for a new guitar when in every review the 7/8 strings are played with a generic metal tone, like i love metal but i really want a guitar with a nice clean for my ambient jazzy style

[@aubreydaledrinkardjr]

Great Brubeck arrangement!

[@dorrianstone7264]

That is the best demo of a seven string multi scale guitar I’ve ever seen! I’m subbing you, guy!

[@Davepotnoodle]

Well that was a refreshingly different 7 string demo. Nicely done!

[@stevensrp2music985]

I was just talking to a band mate about looking into a seven for what your doing. Bro you’re a killer

[@sumgui6010]

Dude, this is so appreciated. I've been wanting to see a few guitars like this played exactly as you are doing for so long. Try finding a review of a cleanly played mayones or other typical "djent" guitar. Not everyone who wants a fast modern guitar wants to chug and sweep!

[@operator2855]

No, I'm cool with my chugs and sweeps

[@sumgui6010]

@@operator2855 triggered? lol.

[@The_Macaroon]

Lol that's the most pleasant thing I've ever heard played on a fan fret. Love it

[@painkilla1972]

That bass slapping funky guitar jam was epic! Thanks R.J. This proves that in the right hands, a metal oriented guitar can be versatile...but not quite as much as our man RJ...

[@TWMTWM-eb1lw]

R.J. fantastic demo! Really shows your guitar talent well. My guitar teacher is showing me jazz and he has been telling me about using a 7 string for a year now. Now I know what he means!

[@DeadAgainfpv]

Fan fret or multiscale necks are built just like grand pianos. The lower strings are extended to maintain tension while tuned low while the upper strings are shorter as to not need alot of length to maintain tuning. the fan fret accomodates this length difference. Sorry if someone just posted this same expaination. Great review. I play a Schecter Reaper 7MS and love it. The transition between a standard six string was not too difficult. The fret board is so wide, at least on the Reaper with a 20 in radius, that it does cause you to stretch a bit. Bit since your point of view is straight down, the fanning isnt really noticeable.

[@ricardobermudez6229]

Thanks for playing the guitar on clean tone (no one those that these days, and its very important to me)!!! also excelent riffs for the clean tones (havent finish to see the video yet)...

[@christantrj]

Finally not a metal demo. This guitars a great for every style. Adding the extra string you can add bass to your tunes.

[@alfredoandrea8345]

The clarity and tones on this really shows the tonality of this guitar but of course, it's also a great reflection of your skill and how you make it sound with your hands. This is fabulous. Well done, sir

[@RickySterling]

I play almost exclusively deathcore. Came here looking for a review of that guitar for that purpose. Instead... O. MY. GOD. That was beautiful. Truly inspiring playing. I subscribed.

[@baDWolf_75]

That is AWESOME!!! Love it!! Well done, well done.

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

I stumbled upon you demonstrating Dennis Fano's Rivolta series and you have consistently brought the fire on every demo since.I can't even tell you how much my playing has improved since I started watching you and how you play.Thanks man bright future to you my friend.

[@zach9827]

Love your playing bro!!! Funky bit at the end was fire. Thanks for this one!

[@red240red2]

Painted pickups looks so dope! I'm waiting for my fanned 8, having that extra tension is amazing!

[@Salvador-Cobos]

You play awesome RJ!

[@sunsparkle8443]

Wow, you get that Brubeck 5/4 feel beautifully . I love your clarity also. I've been playing guitar since the 80s, and I'm still learning from excellent players like you. Thanks.

[@ITSergioFelix]

First time I see you play... you're AMAZING!!!

[@chaselearkendall]

I was waiting for an old school Kmac ending where you just hold a long open low B string and just stare into the camera at the end haha. Nice jamming man!

[@southjersey10]

Really enjoyed the clean sound.

[@wildwayz]

I agree with all the comments here; so nice to hear a demo of a 7 string multi fret guitar played in a non heavy distortion way

[@toneseeker4968]

Now, this slap style of guitar playing is something I've not tried before, because I just considered that to be the territory for really good bassists. Would you consider putting out a tutorial on this style of guitar playing??? In fact, I would gladly pay, whatever the price, for a complete note by note breakdown of this particular piece, as a foundation, then develop my own style from there. I've watched you play this style a few times lately, but this piece was a lot longer and absolutely brilliant, R.J.

[@vicvalente4874]

that is pretty cool, it is like a bass and a guitar in one!

[@sam127001]

really well done video! funk bass while playing chords ?!?! outstanding !

[@zacharycohen89]

This is making me want a 7 string baaaaadly

[@retrorewind6042]

Zachary Cohen get an 8 string, theyre even more fun

[@jeremiahlewis700]

That's some Charlie Hunter stuff you've got going on there!!!! Nice to you play that style too!!! 😎😎😎

[@brianpetersen3429]

Very cool playing!

[@DK-md2pu]

Loved the big metal robo-drummer tease wind up to some nice jazz and funk. Appreciate your showing that Kiesels are not one-trick guitars. Great intro to the review as well - you are well-spoken and honest. Big thumbs up!

[@Emm_R_Guitar]

This has almost sold me on the fluence. Im an rock/prog player but I love my single coil passive cleans and Im not a fan of thrashy 00000 chug. So seeing this is helpful.

[@PunyapatFungtammasarn]

That was unexpected but a very welcomed one. Nice playing !

[@RossCampbellGuitarist]

I think you and Mark Lettieri would get on really well...

[@blackiejames1843]

Outstanding demo ! That guitar sounds great what a tone. As always your playing is awesome.

[@elevenAD]

those fishmans sound damn good!

[@quailstudios]

Sounds very cool RJ. I like the choices of tunes that you used for this demo. I’ve thought about getting an 8 string fan fretted guitar.

[@mashnost]

Informative and entertaining! Man, I laughed out loud when you started to play Brubeck! I'm subbing! Trying to learn how to play 7-string. Thanks for the videos!

[@roygunter3244]

The finish on it is amazing, the tone is killer, of course the moment you hit the first lick I was surprised but not by it sounding great but what you were doing with it. Of course it sounded amazing, with R.J. playing it what else would it sound like. I can't wait for you to give us about 15 minutes of it straight.

[@conan218]

That was awesome, RJ! definitely metal and "Djazz" :-)

[@insomniacstylejac]

Subscribed purely for Take 5. Was not expecting that on an AM7

[@tuttorouge]

I was exactly thinking to buy one to get this one-man jazzy-funky style! Absolutely great the second and third jams! But then I would need a lesson from you to play bass and guitar like this!! Please do one! The lower string is tuned to A?

[@roosolini7105]

Now THAT'S how you play a seven string. Great video dude

[@beyondinfinity3876]

sir you are real gangsta!🙏🙏

[@TheCandel34]

Yes someone else playing a 7 thoroughly!!!

[@brandonproctor3639]

Very nice playing man! Great to hear another style of music on a extended range guitar.

[@brolsonmusic]

I was sooo going to buy that one! I waited and got the Chris Letchford, 7-string multi-scale with rainbow sparkle!

[@larrygoldstein3481]

Killer job pulling off authentic disco funk.

[@pjwolos]

Is take 5 tab in your tabs? I have a crappy non-finger style tab and I like the way your version sounds

[@liamhunter071]

WTF??? Damn that sounds like a sweet bass on the low end! Amazing. Great jam MAN

[@Blue_3rd]

That was a nice, green video 😎 Amazing playing, as always!

[@johndellaselva687]

Very Nice Demo, Thanks!

[@bak1386]

Interesting take on 7 string, got some nice basslines poppin, I think u got a great style playing that guitar

[@Theincrediblespud]

Would it improve tone and clarity of sound to have fanned fret 6- string guitar in standard tuning? Surely the scale length for the high E and low E must be at least slightly different. I wouldn't imagine that the fanning would need to be too extreme

[@Heybuditsme]

Haven't played a multiscale but at one point I bought an Ibanez S7420 on craigslist. Wound up exchanging numbers with the guy that sold it and playing music with him for a couple years. Sold it back to him for the same price cause he only sold it because he needed money and had a tattoo of the headstock on his arm. I miss playing it all the time

[@ChasingAnthems]

That funk sounds is legit! Like a one man band.

[@lastofthe4horsemen279]

RJ you are my hero picks up metal apocalypse guitar and kills "Take Five" classic Standard from Brubeck.

[@johnnytruck2009]

Cool looking guitar!

[@ShawnTubbs]

Killer playing RJ!

[@ginor9447]

that shit had me head bobbin the whole time!!! DAMN IT MAN

[@marco.savini.128]

Btw as I've said before on your insta, I'm ALL FOR u going all Charlie Hunter on us, makes me that much more in awe of your skills to hear you playing this kind of stuff so well, great stuff! 😍

[@douchecraft3113]

Beautiful guitar! Anyone have experience w Kiesel vs Harley Benton?

[@MetalHeadHippie]

Rock On My Brother. Thanks R.J.

[@Mudder1310]

That green is sick.

[@Canthony_]

It looks sooo clean

[@juanduplays]

you're monster guitarist!

[@JRUMMAMusic]

Was hoping for some feedback, I own a 7 string and have never played a fanned fret. Was it a difficult transition? And did you prefer the feeling over a traditional scale? Notice much difference?

[@hyperboogie]

Goes into djent mode and plays "take five". Instant like 😁

[@felixramirez6898]

You always play something really great . What a pocket .

[@RafaZapata]

dudeeeeeeeeeeeee best review ever, 7 strings a for whatever you wanna do too man!!!! R.J fire man, that shit sound straight charlie hunter´´ish!!! Now you made wanna get a 7 string more than I wanted before man!

[@johnw5734]

That was funny. You're all set to metal shred and then you go clean with it. Great looking guitar and awesome funk demo, RJ.

[@tudorsanta5367]

Isn't this guitar supposed to sound like a machinegun?

[@zipchtkdn7804]

I bet Jeff gifted you that great looking guitar your playing .

Love the song selection. Rawk!

Damn man you can play anything and real pro at it all

[@theSummerfight]

Not what I was expecting. But definitely not disappointed.

[@dantimmerman6693]

It's all about string tension 🤘

[@johngerson7335]

Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" and funk jazz on a seven-string fanned metal monster? Dude, I already liked your work and had mad respect for your playing, but you just went up about five to seven notches in my humble estimation. = )

[@AndyDion]

2:29 RJ gets Metal!!!

[@PNWGuitar]

Dope playing!

[@teriakamoto]

You's a Bad Ass Guitarist RJ. I guess 40 Metal heads didn't get the review they were hoping for.

Robert Baker brought me here and my fkn lord how tight is that funk... Subscribed!

[@Cheezeeeee]

With what you did, I do think you need an Abasi concept... Hahahahaha!

"Take Five" and a funk jam on your new 7-string: this is why you rule the demo world.

ha! I't killed me when you started with take 5, nicely played! (pun intended)
