Carvin 7 String Solo - Enrique Romero

[lute760]

Great playing! A little like Eric Johnson in a way.

[emosucks89]

You have a wonderful sense of melody!

[narshadda]

@emosucks89 Thanks!

[MinelabBob]

thats some mighty fine pickin on that gee-tar ... I just bought one of these myself.. i think im going to enjoy it a lot..

[Mr0ro]

I only use carvin seven strings and I do have them with floyd and never had any problems with it and I use it a lot. It could be that I always change the bar for a real floyd one. Its much beefier and tighter inside the shell where it goes screwed. I feel that they bring are a bit skinny and it wobles inside that shelf a bit.

[Lubial]

awesome

[brandon5pennies]

i personally don't like the floyd roses on these carvins i think they're much better as hard tails

[narshadda]

@brandon5pennies I agree totally... The wilkinsons feel so much better. I'll have to really think about it when I order a six string.

[tussero]

is the floyd rose ORIGINAL or LICENSED ??

[narshadda]

LIcensed. It is the weakest part of the guitar IMO.

[tussero]

does it stay in tune? if it´s well set up then it doesn´t matter if it´s original or licenced. thanks for replying :)

[narshadda]

Without the sperzel locking tuners it does detune when used heavily. The feel of it is not as precise as a floating style tremolo. Still, the guitar is by far exceeded what I was looking to buy a 7 string and tried everything on the market.

[narshadda]

I didn't mean that it being licensed or an original floyd rose made a difference. The design is identical. I was referring to the feel of the tremolo.

[Phagedaena]

nice tone

[MustGroove76]

How's the Carvin DC 727 neck? Fat and chunky like Schecter 7-string necks or thin and fast?

[narshadda]

Its fat and fast. Kinda like Fender necks. Plus it being a 7 string it is even fatter than most. My Ibanez RG570 feels so flimsy next to this.

[RideTheLightning83]

with a floyd

[HeavyMetalTurtle]

I'm hoping to purchase a Carvin 7-string guitar in the near future... but i cant decide.... floyd rose or no floyd rose? Help please?

[misztal2112]

i just got a dc727 with the floyd rose. its amazing how well it stays in tune. also you don't need that fugly locking nut because it has locking tuners.

[filipe200x]

i see you have some skills on execution, but it seems you're either just trying to show off or you're not inspired cause you're making no music in this video.

[narshadda]

Not trying to either show off or "make music". This was just me picking up the guitar and jamming a bit. Hard to believe a lot of people don't do that more often.

[MrHardrod2]

Dont worry dude. I do the same thing a lot too when Im praticing. I just a whole lot of things just trying to practice licks, riffs, sweeps with a backtrack and just throwing different ranges in different various modes and scales. It's not like you were really trying to copy a song or anything. I do that a lot too just to memorize the keys in the fretboard to know exactly where they're located when a particular chord is or what major it is in a scale.

[UGNecrophagist777]

sounds like music to me. nice tone and playing.

[DomeShot101]

I got a schecter c-7 hellraiser... it's awesome! I was a bit worried going from an Ibanez 6 string neck to a schecter 7 string neck, but I actually like the thicker neck for some reason. It feels more natural or something... Your tone is sweet btw. very nice!

[torturesofthedamned]

sweet

[defcon777]

I have the DC127 (lefty) and I love it. Carvin makes custom guitars for about 1/2 the price. Mine was shipped $1080. I bought a prewired pickguard (Carvin) and it sounds amazing on my parts guitar!.

[bANDynamiTe]

this guitar is beautiful. There are about 3 7strings I just love. Carvin dc727 or 747, Ibanez Rg 1527 nad the schecter 7strings

[TheAveVecron]

why have you put "wank" in the tags?

[narshadda]

You'd be surprised how many people search guitar videos by "wank"

[stonesolo]

man...... you fuckin make me hate myself.. i guess im gonna have to sell my guitar on ebay. :<

[espguitars01]

I like your playing a ton, but my only complaint is that it sounds like Steve Vai way too much for me.

[narshadda]

Thanks! That is one heck of a compliment.

[SteVeTurchin22]

Haha, true. Nice playing. Very emotional.

[Rael0505]

I definitely see the Vai influence! I felt it even before reading this comment.

It's very rare to see a good improvisation that isn't played behind a backing track. You're an excellent player. And that's a beautiful guitar!

[Speedbeetle07]

lol did you even use the 7th string at all? nice vid 5 stars

[TomasuSA]

absolutly stunning sound...how does the playibilty of the fretboard compare to say..an ibanez?

[narshadda]

Ibanez necks are a lot thinner and the tone on the carvin is a lot warmer.

[narshadda]

The Carvin is my main guitar. I use it for everything except for crazy tunings which I either use my Ibanez RG570, my Moon lightfield, or my olp MM1.

[afaruler159]

What are its specs?  I have been thinking about getting one like it.

[purefernandes]

You are amazing but can I ask you why you use a 7 string for that solo?

[raolufsen]

mby he didnt care to remove the 7th string to play the solo ? :P

[johnmeister123]

why is "wank" one of the tags?

[narshadda]

I thought wank was a common guitar jam term.

[Thulle3]

It sure is. :)

[just6hangin6]

yup definetely!

[Funkyb4ssist]

My God that was beautiful! I love near the end when you were going crazy with the whammy bar, keep it up man.

[gcfissore]

great job man

that was awesome!

[PRSGuitarsPWN]

Hey man. Great job. If you don't mind, I have a couple questions for you. To start off, how are these pickups with pinch harmonics, how do you rate it for a 7-string, and is the neck nice? Anything comparable to a Jackson, or Ibanez neck?

[narshadda]

Thanks man!

THe pickups are great all around. I would suggest going with active ones though. They have a bit more bite. The neck is amazing. Its more like a Fender neck, fat but smooth. It is worth every penny.

[PRSGuitarsPWN]

Thanks. I appreciate it. How much was yours if you don't mind telling me?

[narshadda]

$1400 USD

[toffern123]

is the neck thin or thick? fucking love it!

[narshadda]

thick!! But super smooth and very fast!

[toffern123]

ok! and the 24'th fret is easy to touch?

[VicariousShred]

yes it is!

[laxrappa11]

that was so ill

[juanpcarvin]

im counting down the days for my dc727... sounding great man

[topperspoppers]

how do you like the guitar? im debating a carvin 7, a petrucci 7, or a universe? any tips for me?

[narshadda]

I think the carvin is the best bang for the buck. I played the universe and the petrucci prior to ordering the carvin and although they are amazing guitars, the carvin blew them away - and it was cheaper.

[Codyyyn]

I'm almost definitely getting one. Not to sound cliche, but would it be good for metal? I've just heard polarized things about the pickups - people either love them or think they are weak.

[narshadda]

Absolutely.... Check out my other vids and you tell me if you think the pickups sound weak. The only thing different on my next order will be active pickups for rhythm. I love the passive sound for lead and the tight, bright crunchiness you can get with active electronics is perfect.

[dl0]

Thanks for your comments on the Carvin. I have a UV777 and its a very nice guitar but I thought I wanted something to my specs that was still quality. I have a specific question in regards to your tone; what are you using here? Very Eric Johnsonish.

[Thatguy301]

i was wondering that too, i really want that tone on my guitar. Sounds more like Greg Howe to me though

[vetmanmarcus]

as far as playing emotionally, thats great!

way to use the modes to portray emotions

[TalismanRocks]

Not bad man, keep it up!

[Dogma216]

well done man, awesome tone

[Ranfitpunx75]

Dude that was sweet!!! And as for the tone...I love it!!! I have the Zoom G9.2TT as well and its amazing!!

[Ybsored]

Hi , great playing & guitar . I had a serious question,i think seriously purchase a Carvin guitar ( DC727 ) & i don"t how is the roundback of neck . It"s like Ibanez,Jackson,Gibson.....roun­d or flat , thick or ..... Please , i need of your comment

[cataclysmichael]

the carvin is definitly thicker than the ibanez. I got a ibanez universe 7-string, and my friend got a carvin 727, so Ive tried both. I love the carvin though, the look of it just kills the ibanez :P

[dl0]

I have a UV777 and its the best 7-string I have played but I just ordered a sapphire blue flame DC727 with a birdseye maple fretboard and floyd on it and can't wait. :-)

[cataclysmichael]

I just ordered a DC747 =)

[asiankid125]

Wow, that was beautiful! What amp are you running through? Carvins are the best!

[tweekin001]

3 things:

1. I'm definately getting one of those now!

2. You're a fantastic player!

3. What are you using for your tone?

[narshadda]

Thanks!

I am using a Zoom G9.2TT now.

[sluggrocks]

[kmanick]

I just got my Dc727C last month , killer guitars!

[OlegKalyan]

[narshadda]

Thanks!

[mugable]

mice job man.

sounds to me like you like eric johnson.

[narshadda]

Thanks... I do like Eric Johnson although he isn't a main influence of mine.

[googoo3]

amazing phrasing. i love how near the end you took a while to resolve but it was so nice how it was done. your playing style reminds me a lot of how i play.

[narshadda]

Thanks googoo!

[TGArtist]

Beautiful tone. And the guitar is beautiful, too.

[EnemyAce]

Nice playing and tone was great! I don't know can I get as good tone out of my custom Jackson :/

[DaemonBROES]

wow that was really good, love the tone.

[narshadda]

Thanks!!!

[Brazilianjj]

Hey i got a Gibson les paul...and i kinda wanna get a guitar with a wammy bar.. and i hear Carvins are good...But are they betetr then Legendary Gibson?

[narshadda]

Depends on taste. I don't like to play Gibsons, the feel isn't right for me even though they are amazing guitars.

[guitaristdotcom]

Man, you make me want to get an electric guitar.

[danib82]

well done mate. i like the way you play.

[kayline87]

I just recently got my carvin and this video makes me proud to be an owner

[byan85]

Nice!

[Pericles777]

I wish more people would play like this!!! Obviosly you have great taste in guitars ;)

Aren't Carvins great?

[Antestor]

Yep. Plan on getting a DC127 soon. Think they'll do a pointy headstock for me?

[nicknasty]

[nicknasty]

[narshadda]

Thanks Nick - I need to figure out a way to get better quality on the vids though...
