[bigmigit150]

Same here

[TheKGismyhero1]

@MrSicbassman89

I agree like hell

[MrSicbassman89]

you need to make these videos longer and more educational.

[robbiewhelan]

how to play ,oh rly thanks

[R4nd0mm3r]

Lol, this is not "How to play Heavy Metal Guitar", it's "I am really awesome while playing Heavy Metal Guitar".

[MitchRB15]

I've only seen two of his videos and he's said ballsy in both of them. wut?

[Emojim123]

can anybody tell me wat is the riff from (song name) when he playing at last?

[rakizta20008]

forgot to mention slipknot ^_^

[CollinGuitarStuff]

@rakizta20008 endorsed by ibanez i think

[backdraftguitar]

@rakizta20008 Slipknot has never and will never use a 7 string guitar

[TheManSpider]

@backdraftguitar Considering that the lowest note they use is usually a B (or even A, for a few tracks), they might as well use a 7-string.

[rakizta20008]

@backdraftguitar Alright ^_^ just sounds like ^_^

[rhinohockenberry]

sorry,,, but i like this dude.

[Moukeaf]

If you want to quote a real 7string guitarist, think about Steve Vai.

[swp2012]

screw korn!!

[daylantin]

lol!!! Gary: today im gonna show you how to play a 7 string guitar...guess what its a guitar with 7 strings. made me lmfao!!

[KusanagiMotoko100]

he didn't teach anything O.o

[DukeofColumbia]

Why the dislike for Expert Village?

[fobrock22]

@DukeofColumbia Exactly. 

[paulthebassguy]

expert village? it's more like amateur village.

guitarists that play down at my local bar on friday night are better than him.

[Ardboy96]

The video was pretty pointless. Would have been cool if he played abit of Glass Prison by Dream Theater ;)

[GearsOfInsanity]

lol on the abyone enduresed by ibanez

[membersnaklo]

what kind model of ibanez is this ?

[DeidreJaNet]

Wow that sounded so good. I will have to get a guitar with a 7th string. Thank you for posting.

[666DARKR0SE666]

you needs to be playing some slam with a beast guitar like that mate !! :)

[ralfcaetano]

that didn't teach me anything

[ckaleader]

I watched an ad for this?

[halfdarkshadow]

@ckaleader Do what I did and get an add-blocker for your browser :P

[palalajec]

first i thought that it´s a standart tuning but it´s not

[k5lta]

@palalajec Its B♭ tuning, B♭-E♭-A♭-D♭-G♭-B♭-E♭.

[palalajec]

@k5lta I know I know ... it´s pretty wierd but here in slovakia it´s not B-tuning but H-tuning ... our note scale is c,d,e,f,g,a,h,c not c,d,e,f,g,a,b,c ...

[k5lta]

@palalajec whoa i didn't know that, its really different there.

[palalajec]

@k5lta here is note B the same note as B♭ ... for us it´s H♭ the same note as B but we call it B insted of H♭ ... i hope you´ll understand me :D:D

[k5lta]

@palalajec that worked my brain lol

[Techdeath96]

Dude schecter makes more 7s than ibby. And most Ibanez models are 6s

[Baseballer711]

0:07, we learn that a 7-string guitar is a guitar with 7 strings on it. thanks expert village for that brilliant insight.

[gokusama666]

this guy sucks!

[U2punk]

where in this video did i learn anything?i learned that i can wast 1:17 of my life watching an idiot tell me what i already knew.....

[mrwho33]

@U2punk then why did u watch it?

[olivermichael88]

endorsed implies that somebody is STILL endorsed by ''ibanez'' DT and JP in particular has been using ernie balls for yonks!

[EvilDudeoftheDead]

@olivermichael88 Ernie Ball=Guitar STRINGS, therefore, you=IDIOT

[olivermichael88]

@EvilDudeoftheDead ernie ball music man...? = guitar! and when he was using ibanez i recall him usin Dadario strings, whether or not he used ernie ball STRINGS whilst still playin ibanez guitars is a different matter but i still say saying dream theater endorse ibanez guitars is not necesarily true seein as he has not used an ibanez guitar since 1999.

[Grunge00125]

I feel like if he were in a band he wouldn't be too bad but his videos are about absolutely nothing.

[kuruyad]

Uh... Hey! WHERES DA LESSON PART????

[MrBucketOBolts]

"So today we're talking about sevenstring guitars. It's a guitar with seven strings."

Thanks buddy really needed your imput on that.

[hiketheskymusic]

you should not be playing 7 stringed guitars bro

[spasmicbaritone]

Guess what, a 7 sting guitar is actually a guitar with 7 strings.....

[Ghostofgrace92]

Really...Korn?...thats all you could up with? What about Fear Factory, Meshuuga, Strapping young Lad, Lacuna Coil. and btw. Ass Burn. Most 7 String players play ESP now. because...ESP owns all.

[Rayman304]

@Ghostofgrace92 You do realise that this video is 4 years old right? just sayin...

[ElectroFret21]

@Ghostofgrace92 I agree. ESP owns. Especially now that they just released a bunch of new 7 string models...in shapes that I haven't ever seen another company produce before.

[Ghostofgrace92]

@ElectroFret21 I want Play anything but ESP. I don't have a 7 string. I play Black Metal and stuff like that. doesn't really fit my style. but if i ever decided to get one i'd get an ESP. ESP. Epic Stringed Products.

[DoomedEtiquette]

Is that Shit playing>?>? I hear shit ?? Yes sir thats Shit are Expert on the guitar playing ... No man i ment i hear SHIT PLAYING!!. hah

[cperalta92]

"Pretty much anybody endorsed by Ibanez..." fail.

[4everRock666]

everyone bitches too much, i enjoyed the video.

[Ghostofgrace92]

@4everRock666 Your IQ must be lower than this guys.

[4everRock666]

@Ghostofgrace92 nah, i just don't like complaining.

[Ghostofgrace92]

@4everRock666 I'm not complaining. it's just fun to pick on expert village.

[neochase1]

uh ?? okay !

[Thelordhelsing]

a seven strig guitar is a guitar with 7 string

yeaaah i didn't now that before you video -.-

[RockerZeca97]

Gary Shit-today im gonna show you a 7 string guitar guess what its a guitar with 7 strings

Me-No shit Sherlock -.-

[SOAD525]

@RockerZeca97 umm thats the point it was funny

[MrAsymmetriphobia]

00:47...FAILED PINCH HARMONIC

[Metalfeak3]

Expert? Expert at what Gary Shit? I swear when you say your last name you say shit. You parents must be so proud (sarcasm)! 7 string guitar? No dip you fucking dumb ass. XD

[DKN2488GuitarHero]

omg... nonetheless the riff starting @ 0:54 sounds very cool...

[DKN2488GuitarHero]

omg... nonetheless the riff starting @0:52 sounds very cool...

[ALEXXXHAAS]

This guy SUCKS!!!

[trickpooler]

I have a question to everyone, If you want to tune your low B string to an A (drop A) can I do this by myself or do I have to go to a guitar shop related to the neck and the bridge of the guitar

[ukeleleboy97]

@trickpooler just tune it down you dont need to adjust the bridge or neck

[ninoiphone12]

Hey dude, go home or debra is gonna be PISSED!!!

[CTMetalhead95]

"Guess what? Its a guitar with 7 strings." No fucking shit Gary

[ParkwayFAN1995]

His sample riffs sound very Tool influenced.

[Musicfrommitchell]

I can't believe that he put the words "Dream Theater" and "KoRn" in the same sentence. what an insult to dream theater!

[emilyae]

"how to get paid for a video of some guy playing metal"

[emilyae]

"how to listen to metal"

[emilyae]

"how to play youtube videos"

[XaltonMOTU]

Wow I want my fucking time back. If you guys are gonna do a "How To" video then put some fucking how to's in the fucking video. All you did was show off a white Ibanez 7-string and have some dude play some riffs. WHAT FUCK AM I GOING TO LEARN FROM THIS?!

/rage

[mrdunngoofd]

digiorno comes with boneless wings now?

[Shink5]

``Who plays 7 strings ? Ppl who are endorsed by Ibanez`` ESP makes better 7 strings than ibanez any day

[thebitchishungry]

Expert village completely sucks, dunno how they gt so many views

[meatloafgodxer]

that is a reallly nice tone

[TOOLAPC68]

"believe it or not, this is a seven string guitar." No shit really? i only typed in 7 string for a reason. Fail.

[POPfreakingPUNK]

hi my name is Gary Shit and I'm gunna show you a seven string guitar. Well, here it is.....

[MURDERFACE555666]

Hey, I'm gonna teach you how to play on a 7 string guitar, by simply playing on this guitar. K?

[hjeb1986]

he sucks not only ibanez has 7 strings, meaning not only ppl endorsed by ibanez plays 7 strings

[samarhello]

this isn't metal, this is pop on the seventh string. What a waste an awesome guitar

[IAmThunderMusic]

Expert Village: Experts at wasting time. Your time.

[MRA7XDRUMMeRDudE93]

I love the groove he does at 0:55 to 1:01

[xphoenixdownx]

ah, listen to that tone, there is no god, he is dildos.

[anshumanchaube95]

This is the pits, this one made me unsubscribe.

[cornflakes2794]

0:15 he can't even play through his open strings without cocking up ¬¬ not a lesson. Not worth watching. Not worth uploading. Expertvillage, fuck you.

[MattFeige11]

Does anyone watch this guys videos and thing he is a bitter doosh who never made it in music so when he does these videos he thinks they are below him?

[Nero21111]

0:30-0:33

[drummer313ify]

0:30 the term i think you are looking for maybe "gritty" or perhaps "dirty" but "ballsy" wtf, what do you even mean by that?????

[iliev93]

these expert village videos are so uesless

[cwilder01]

I'll just stick to my 6 string schecter instead

[MilitantOldLady]

STEP AWAY FROM THE GUITAR!

GET ON YOUR KNEES, PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR BACK!

THIS IS THE MUSICAL POLICE!

[Brndnrchrdsn85]

I could have just googled a 7 string guitar and got the same results...

[GabrielPhegley66]

What's up with this guys and saying "Ballsy and chunky"

[SuperJiiRo]

Your just and stupid fuck who does not know a thing! "anybody endorsed by ibanez"... yeah righ. Retard

[EvilDudeoftheDead]

@SuperJiiRo I bet he can spell right correctly. And you're. And a. And that quotes always start with capitals. Seems to me like a nettard with no balls insulting someone he doesn't know.

[SuperJiiRo]

@EvilDudeoftheDead Hey im sorry i didn't spell correctly but i don't give a fuck cos im Finnish so my native language ain't english. So mister professor go fuck your self! :)

[EvilDudeoftheDead]

@SuperJiiRo Ah. Sorry. I get touchy sometimes. Sometimes just a bit douchey.

[ottozing]

hold 4

[gl797]

cool thanks! I think I got it now, I watched this twice. How long before I have a Double-Platinum album?

[danceoffAsh]

LOL he keeps playing

[dusted04]

is that a 7621

[M4ND1NG0X]

It sound like Mushroomhead!

[evhwolfgangguitar]

Smoking guitar soloing

[Seandude223]

So when does the teaching begin? All I learned was that Ibanez makes some bad ass 7-strings and that this guy can play a marginally cool riff on one. I am disappoint.

[69erthx1138]

I've never seen an expert village video yet that teaches anything worth the crap. More like expert village idiot.

[DirgeofHell]

sounds better when slipknot plays it

[Jimithelad]

actually, i learned more from a monkey in a jumpsuit called Alberto!

After 2 lessons I started a band, and we're famous. Ever heard of 'Nevermore'?

haha! just kidding, i don't like Nevermore, but i respect them. great musicians! i specially admire Jeff Loomis and his 7stringGuitarPlaying Style :)

Just to say that, this guy...sucks. haha :D

[shawn2point0]

i learned so much in this past minute and 17 seconds my brain just about exploded .

[Sapiossss]

I finally learned what the term "7-string guitar" means.

[deanguitars11]

hahaha ballsy what a homo

[greensp4rk]

love how the advertisement is almost half as long as the video itself

[hahnicetits]

do u need to be spoon feed on how to play a guitar????? its a guitar with 7 strings instead of 6 theres no diferent techniqes..u just use the 7th string 6th and 5th so u have fatter sounding riff...retards -.-

[MooseSK]

expert village is worthless. nuff said.

[MrFukdishyt]

ugh...i have a long way to go. ive never even picked up a guitar before dammit :(

[Supaevilman]

Hi my name is Gary Shit...

[Xfond]

@Supaevilman LOL



[PatraThanos]

what is the name of the last song????

[5PointsGuitarist]

ballsy , chunky, at 0:30 ????????

[joey1364]

guys a douche 

[Songwriter4God]

0:48 epic fail. Lol. Rule 1: When you are talking about something like this, DO NOT make dumb statements like "Guess what, it's a guitar with seven strings!" because only an idiot doesn't know that, why does he think we're here? Step 2: Do it how it was intended, if you're demoing a seven string, don't tune it down... Also don't make statements you know nothing about, not everyone endorsed by Ibanez uses them, bozo.

[Songwriter4God]

0:48 epic fail. Lol.

Step 2: Do it how it was intended, if you're demoing a seven string, don't tune it down...

[Ningirsutyr]

I don't know if it's already done but what about doing an 8-string guitar in the form of a regular 7-string with an added higher string than the high E?

[jscottizabeast]

@Ningirsutyr, seen people do it on youtube, but a lot of them say they have trouble with the extra high string because its so thin it breaks easy

[ShreddinTony]

@jscottizabeast dude its not an extra higher string but rather a lower deeper one

[jscottizabeast]

@ShreddinTony, it is if you are using standard tuning, you can also tune it with an extra high string all shall perish tunes there seven strings like a six string in drop b with an extra high string

[MooseSK]

@jscottizabeast its actually just a normal gauge string on top. generally a 10. so it doesnt break any easier than any other guitar.

[Ningirsutyr]

@jscottizabeast Isn't it possible to have the highest string in 10 and go thicker from there upwards in that case?

[tabotabojayar]

this guy from expert village doesn't have anything useful but i have to admit his playing is very well sick....

[MrGuitarHero4Life]

When God created him, he made a guitar god

[H3AVYBR3AKDOWN2010]

Abr dont use 7 strings buddy

[USBYDProductions]

i want a seven string that has the bottom 6 the same but the seventh is higher than the high e

anyone have anything they can think of?

[Pelleman666]

@USBYDProductions It's pretty obvious that you would buy a regular seven-string and restring it with a normal 10-48(or whatever) and add a 8 or 9 string as the highest?

thank you very much

[shamgar001]

@USBYDProductions You could always get a seven-string and find an different sent of strings to use?

[USBYDProductions]

@shamgar001 that seems to be the route i need to take

[tonythex1]

Why do i watch this?

I don't even have a classic quitar >.<!

[Ultraussie]

Uhh yeah but everyone else has atleast 11 strings now...

[Apothis]

I learned nothing I didn't already know from this..

[ThaThing1337x]

0:30 so "ballsy" is a word! o:

[ottozing]

pretty much anyone endorsed by ibanez. what about john petrucci he uses fukin music man. plus did you forget about schecter for a second?.expert village my ass

[ottozing]

@ottozing oh i almost forgot about esp and jackson

[MetalElf]

Why do all Expert Village videos remind me of Yoda rejects? "Hmmm guitar plays notes it does!" "Yes, notes in music we play, Mmmhmmm!"

[VapidButchery]

This guy is an idiot.... Watch the "drunken how to videos" on the Vapid Butchery YouTube channel!!! Whammy tricks! Trills! Fun stuff!!!!

[AnRTPgA]

@VapidButchery

you are the idiot here. THESE Videos are for beginners who are just started to learn to play guitar.

So stop spamming you talentless moron.

your music fucking sucks. I like death metal n stuff but your vids are something that gets shoved up a gay dudes ass. And your HOW TO vids are a real disgrace. you make yourself look like a fag.

[VapidButchery]

@AnRTPgA Have you noticed the comment page here at all? 80% of the comments are about how crappy these videos are! I am giving those people an alternative to this crappiness.... THESE videos are for beginners you say? I hope not! If I were a beginner and these vids were what I tried to learn with I would be screwed! I HAVENT SEEN ONE YET THAT TEACHES YOU A DAMN THING! At least you can actually learn something by watching my vids!

[VapidButchery]

@AnRTPgA Oh yeah! I just checked your page and saw you jamming POD.... yeah you REALLY do like "death metal".... I hope you realize I am being sarcastic... My "drunken how to videos" do teach something but I think the title itself makes it clear that while informative they are kind of a joke or parody at the same time! I am neither an idiot or a talentless moron! I have had extensive musical training not to mention borderline genius IQ! Are you Gary with a funny username? It seems like it...

[VapidButchery]

@AnRTPgA.... I think it's funny how you called me gay twice! Look at Gary!!!! He looks like he could really smoke a sausage if you get my drift! I think I was wrong to say the guy is an idiot he propably isn't BUT he is NOT a good teacher! He plays very well but being good at something never makes you a good teacher and Gary is not!!!!

[TopshelfXPT700]

Hey sweet now I know how to play 7 string guitars! It was so good I think I can apply what I learned here to learning how to play an 8 string!!! lets see...

An 8 string guitar has 8 strings..

!!! look I did it!!

[mathal13]

these are some useless ass videos

[animals29842]

i only thumbs up this vid because he mentions DT.

[dropdguitarist]

more like noobvillage lol

[heilmetalhead]

fuuuuck 7 string guitar is for death metal...but I didn't hear any death metal in this video(

[TheBrokenWing1]

@heilmetalhead well, ive seen people get them and use them for jazz, just because it opens up many more ways to use lower notes in solos, or even makes it easier sometimes to use certain scales......but i do see most of them used for death metal....

[MrHelem]

@heilmetalhead You're an idiot if you think that's all sevens are good for.

[InFeRnO954]

.... hmmm i dunno dude, i'd say the b strings on the top

lol

[bagera93]

question what tuning did you say you were apart from the low B

[deathcore1239]

@bagera93 hes tuned to A#, D#, G#, B, E, A#, D#. just start in standard and tune every string 1 fret/note lower which is a 1/2 step

[FollowerofBodom]

@bagera93 well knowing expertvillage is crap, and he is actually telling the truth, he said he was a half step down so he is in A# standard tuning.

[UnidentifiedUser100]

necrophagist is endorsed by ibanez :D

[bobdabuilda86]

dude sounds like he needs a tube screamer

[Tuzioya]

Dream theater is endorsed by ibanez? maybe like, a decade ago. LOL

[swiggar97]

nvm

[swiggar97]

omg this second vid screwed up tuning  he got the notes right but in order he tuned up a half step

[dropdguitarist]

I didnt learn shit!?!?!

[Direksone]

@dropdguitarist welcome to expervillage<.<

[Kliwadenko]

gary shit pointless video...

E B G D A E B... but all is tuned down half step... so the notes are... mmm... dont give a shit... just a little bit down

[BaeverN]

Pinch harmonic fail @ 0.47 :o

[joey1364]

if you own a seven string you dont need beginner guitar lessons lol

[McMinnManiac]

Gary's good with that 7 string .He's gonna kick some bass at you!!!

[fallenlove1013]

I want that Ibanez RG but they fuckin 1k

[mrmoney185]

@fallenlove1013 not all of them

[fallenlove1013]

@mrmoney185 Yea but you get what you pay for in this case.

[KZ4USA]

I play metal without a seventh.

[ronspeck]

Fuck is this junk?... this is shit I play when I'm just trying to warm up my fingers by noodling random as riffs...
