Wave Picking on Ibanez Quest 7 String

[@FahlmanCascade]

Came here from Reddit. This is really beautiful.

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it. I'm working on an EP now that will alternate a few of these short solo guitar tracks with more complete 3-5 minute songs.

Hey! Awesome playing. Do you think you can make a tutorial for this type of picking, or maybe a lesson to the song you are playing here ?

[@RubenBerngesMusic]

I am considering creating more lesson content around this specific type of Swybryd picking, but I am still exploring the possibilities myself to a large degree. I am currently teaching myself how to create e books to create educational content on this in a more structured and formal manner. I will definitely create more on it in the long run though.

You've written a nice tune! And you played it well. What amp / ampsim and settings do you use? You achieved the best clean tone I've heard from the Quest 7 string.

[@RubenBerngesMusic]

Listening back to it this is Helix Native, I'm splitting a path with one half going to the acoustic sim that I mix in at a lower volume. I also got a tape simulator on a split path for this tone. I don't use the inbuilt Helix cabs or IRs but use MIKKO software instead.

I don't understand what I'm listening to but I love it. Is it like a delay pedal with no reverb?

[@RubenBerngesMusic]

I'm hybrid picking and sweeping simultaneously

Hey dude important question, how is the tuning stability? Especially with the 7th string? Do all the strings hold up well?

[@RubenBerngesMusic]

The tuning stability is great, I barely have to tune it. We had a pretty cold winter in Germany now and I am still using the flimsy gigbag that Ibanez provides with this guitar, yet this guitar never went out of tune when I commuted via public transport (enduring temperature changes from -5 celsius outside to like 15 degrees celsius in a heated subway)
