Useful Chord Shapes on the 7 String Guitar

[@Torgomasta]

The chugs after Canon in D made me laugh, nice video lol.

[@Remnantsofadam]

Going back and watching this again, I now realize how ridiculous of a transition that is haha

[@redeyedrednek]

@@Remnantsofadam its perfect. Absolute perfection.

Spoiler :/

[@Mackievellian]

holy shit hahahaha

[@Sardjento]

Literally just found your channel and this is the second video I’ve watched and it’s already so much more informative than the majority of other videos like this combined. Thank you, dude!

[@Remnantsofadam]

Thanks man! glad it helped!

[@billelliot5113]

Most impressive 7 string guitar video. I found on KZbin. Thanks!!!!

[@Remnantsofadam]

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed!

[@TheRedAnvil40]

Dude I just got a 7 and this was so helpful to get started! Thank you!

[@Remnantsofadam]

No problem man! I'm glad it helped!

[@denisbisaillon]

Great video! I had purchased a 7 string guitar 20 years ago and nevered really played it. I always reverted to my 6 string. Now I have taken it out again and began experimenting with chords like yourself . I also realized that some interesting bass run work very well! Rgds, Denis

[@Remnantsofadam]

Thanks man! Yeah, using the lower end for bass is super fun!

[@silphv]

Really well done. I'm lately learning 7th chords and other jazzy chords on my 7-string and there's really not much out there. The way you explain things and even the order you explain it in is exactly how I've been working on learning this stuff so this is a good reference and lets me check things like drop-2/3 7th chord shapes starting on the 7th string, and inversions, against what someone else is doing - I haven't really found anyone else talking about this.

[@Remnantsofadam]

Thank you! I’m glad you found it useful! I’m still continuing to learn shapes and new ways to think of chords on the 7 string and also trying to apply it to the 8 string. I probably need to make an updated version of this video soon!

[@SLEEPYDEADBRAIN]

Drop a is deathcore tuning

[@FR-ho6pn]

Dude, this is literally the most useful video I have seen on the topic! Your teaching style is awesome! Do you have plans to make more theory videos like this? Cheers!

[@Remnantsofadam]

Mr Wrappy mc wrap face Thanks man! Yeah, I’m planning on continuing lessons. I was just super busy for the last few months juggling school and work, but I’ll be going back to the KZbin grind soon now that the quarantine has given me way more time.

[@AndrewGrey22]

I just bought a Jackson Soloist 7 string. Thanks for the helpful info.

[@Remnantsofadam]

Sweet those are nice! And no problem man!

[@makkiesteban4574]

Thanks for sharing this! I just picked up a 7 string with the same intentions and ended up just chugging. I can definitely use your ideas shared here to do some different things.

[@ToneD5150]

This was very informative. I have just started playing 7strings so now I can get off to a proper start...!!! Thanks a Million 🤘 72 and keeping it Metal 💯

[@Remnantsofadam]

Thanks man! Glad it’s been helpful ✌️

[@j.p.stallard6957]

Awesome, man. Make more.

[@nolan_riddle]

Such great information bro thank you so much😎

[@Remnantsofadam]

No problem man! hope you can get some use out of it!

[@danieljosebernatecaipa5353]

Really great video, i figure out some of those things before but your video give more ideas about playing

[@Remnantsofadam]

Daniel Jose Bernate Caipa Thanks man!

[@shawnhuff3920]

I bought a schecter demon-7 seven string guitar and I am still enjoying it I've got the guitar a week ago what do you think about the schecter demon-7 seven string guitar

[@coopash7387]

Of course i loved doing the chugs but i was most excited about the scales and having the full 3 octaves rather than the normal 2.5

[@RichLunaMusic]

That’s exactly how my Jazz teacher taught me how to do scales!

[@Remnantsofadam]

It is super useful! That’s always how I teach my students as well!

[@n3zyd]

The Most chill guitar teacher award goes to.....My .02 you have a true gift and I don't mean your ability to shred face you can explain things in a small bite simple way without the slightest attitude a collaboration with you and Ben Eller would be epic.

[@Remnantsofadam]

Haha thanks man! I really have to thank the kids I teach for that. They're great, but you do need all the patience you can possibly get to teach them effectively lol I don't believe I've heard of Ben Eller. I'll check his channel out some time!

[@TheAnalyticalObservers]

This is the only guy I watch seriously

[@amlansarmah4687]

Waiting to play them when I get my 7 string.

[@Remnantsofadam]

Hell yeah! New gear day!

[@MusiCaninesTheMusicalDogs]

Thanks a lot, man! This helped me a lot!

[@Remnantsofadam]

Hell yeah I’m glad it helped! ✌️

[@martijnemmenofficial]

Thanks! I wouldve liked to see more Drop A chords!

[@Remnantsofadam]

Martijn Emmen No problem! I’ll have to check out some other ways to get more chords out of drop A. Drop A just lends itself so much to power chords that it’s hard to get anything else. I love doing the inverted triads in drop tunings though!

[@wizard-at-large]

Very NICE. Kudos

[@ahmadhassoun5305]

Thanks dude!

[@RockingKPS]

Thank you :) this was very helpful

[@Remnantsofadam]

PreeT Awesome! I’m glad it helped!

[@ericcastro1600]

Hold up, who tunes their 7 string to b?

[@Remnantsofadam]

I do lol Sometimes I put it in drop A so I can write different riffs, but I like to find used out of both tunings.

[@spylingual8573]

Thx for the info

[@lukehewko260]

Really surprised by the quality of this video and your ability to teach in a way that isn't esoteric as hell. Are you a fan of Revocation by any chance?

[@Remnantsofadam]

Thanks man! I actually have not heard of them, I don't think. I'll have to give them a listen!

[@tooastybreado1330]

What guitar is that

[@my_sideproject3815]

It's because too many dainty little finger couldn't grip and rip a 7+ string. "We need a wittle bitty 6 string neck"

[@brentwiens2652]

Is that an evil twin? I just got one!

[@Remnantsofadam]

Heck yeah! They're so nice. I love mine!

[@victorruiz7862]

How much did your Schecter Guitar 🎸 cost You ?

[@Remnantsofadam]

I got it a long time ago when I was still in high school, but I wanna say around $500? Not a bad price considering its held up to this day.

[@victorruiz7862]

@@Remnantsofadam Thanks for answering my question ⁉️ just purchased the same one for 250 $ South Korea made solid condition.

[@brianbergmusic5288]

"Drop A doesn't add anything new to your chord vocabulary". -- paraphrase You know... after watching most of this video, I just might keep my Schecter in B-Standard when I get it back from the luthier. [edit] The only problem is that I feel that there is more fingerstyle tunes that I can play because of the A-string chord vocabulary.

Dude I would subscribe but you got 666 right now and I will NOT be the one to ruin that :D
