Stephen - 7-String Guitar Shred thing

[LarcherESP]

pretty nice video, but the video quality is beyond shit :|

[kbbrarsonist]

nice melodic shredding there ;) I like it

[Achw3l]

Damn he's awesome...

[gordon86512]

D A M  NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[Inkawgneegrow]

funny thing about is some of the earliest 7 string players were shredders and then korn came along and f'd it up for everyone...

[xSHADOWxCHILDx]

LMAO. it's ok tho, Jeff Loomis makes a seven string an instrument ov the gods

[tydogg]

funnier... 7 strings were first used by jazz players... so were 8 strings...

[ThatRandomGuy325]

dude dont bash korn. its there own style. they didnt fuck up anything.

[Inkawgneegrow]

@ThatRandomGuy325

nahh... i'm pretty sure they suck... and what i mean by fucked it up for everyone is that they took an instrument with an "extended" range to limit themselves to a smaller range... if you only need the first 5 frets of the lowest 3 strings then why do you have 7 strings and 24 frets? buy less guitar... however, the fact that other ppl think they're cool only means that I'm more likely to be able to find 7 stringed/24 fretted axes more easily... so meh...

[Depplair]

O-M-G!

Awesome! 8D

Great video, m8! Congratulations from Brazil!

Btw, what's the intro song name?

[halleysing]

intro song??

[PoopMyPants87]

Sounds a lot like a scale Jeff Loomis likes to use in his solos.

[Inkawgneegrow]

harmonic minor and diminished?

[deathmetaliscool]

yeeeah, but you could just say harmonic minor, being the diminished scale the seventh degree of it (i don't know if i fucked up any technical term being italian lol)

[Inkawgneegrow]

yea i just recently learned that. haha. i know very very little about theory. only the patterns and what hey sound like. :-\

[shotbyaknife]

Ibanez RG1527 > Peavey Bravo 112 in that video

[twooos]

Fuckin yeah bitch! I remember commentin this a long time ago but im commentin again. Ste i didnt know this is you!

[Arvobravo]

haha yea, see you on the OW forum lol

[mechajabo]

those stock pups? I'm looking to buy that guitar. my plan was to throw a set of dimarzio in.

[Arvobravo]

Yep they are the stock pickups, still are too, had the guitar 2 years now and still not changed them

[MagicIncorporated]

metal method? speed kills?

[cscarp4503]

your legato is awesome.  very inspiring.

[fupasack2]

how the hell do you get that good!

[Rg1527]

hey ma\n could u post a vid showin some of those harmonic minor licks , and general shred riffs i can use like those in the vid, id appreciate it :) your tuned Bb right? what guage of strings do you use?

[Rln777]

He i uses 0.11 i think..

[julesdb]

what amp did U use for this? The tone is pretty cool...

[Arvobravo]

Peavey Bravo 112, its valve also, i just plugged into it, not using any pedals

[Michielvdwerff]

Wow dude nice!

[Baztien]

You suck, you guitar idiot. Use your 7-string to make loooow keys & heavy tunes & it'll be good ! Fyck we don't need more shredders !

[Arvobravo]

lol, we don't need more retards, like you. Just because i play like this doesnt mean i don't appreciate other aspects of guitar playing as im not narrow minded, seems like you are...

[Rln777]

Baztien.. Im shocked and amazed over how retarded you are..

[psyleid]

No one likes a negative-Nancy (especially one with sand in her vagina).

[pockthehairy]

Whoah whoaah

[MegaReece]

I hear Loomis, nice video buddy! great geetar too

[gsoe]

you... used your fucking phone for this?

god damn it man, thats pretty decent for a PHONE

[spuddiamorah]

sounds like its tuned to b flat nice nevermore shred btw.

[Stabwound07]

Killer playing dude. Are you running direct into the computer with this one?

[Arvobravo]

cheers and nope, i used my mobile phone to record the video and audio

[ibanezfreaknj]

sounds killer man......keep shredding

[stratman687]

are those the stock pickups?

[Arvobravo]

Yep, havent bothered changing them

[adil2552]

standard 7 string tuning?

[Arvobravo]

Nope, tuned a semitone down so its Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb

[Pedestrian777]

Dude, that's way good. Tons of chops - but never at the expense of musicality, nor style, judging from what you've submitted so far! Keep it up! :D

[alfie987654321]

can i ask what r chops ??? im only 13 lol

[Marlowann]

Playing hands and skill, basically.

[Rln777]

Technique

[sue4arie]

fucking brilliant!!!!!

[MegaReece]

emgs the best, nice playin good big vibrato.

[goresicle]

Nice playing!!!!!!!!!

I love that guitar.

[erikkn]

You're playing reminds me of Santiago Dobles from Aghora.

[Spirituality1980]

Wow, that sound isn't bad at all for the stock pickups! I've got an RG 1527 and will be installing an EMG 707 and EMG 81-7 in the coming weeks. But that's just my personal taste. The sound you have is good!

[goresicle]

Make sure you run 18volts. I have that same setup. I'm just waiting for my new active pickups for Seymour Duncan they shit all over the EMGs.

[ChromeCelica00]

Sexy!!

[m0rb1dnightmare]

dude that would be a KILLER ibanez ad if you submitted it

[ibanezdude123]

Hey man,

Nice playing, I also have an RG1527, it sounds awesome :)

[Arvobravo]

[alecmm61]

[Arvobravo]

[kramerblues89]

[elapsepat69]

7 strings fucking rule man and ibanez are the best 7's around i have a rg7321 which is fucking awsome to play

[BoltFurr]

i have the rg7620 i wish Ibanez would put it back into production

[Arvobravo]

Yeah, i just recently got an RG7621 (fixed bridge version of yours) as i couldnt get an RG15271, great guitars though, ibanez really needs to put out some more 7's i think

[anubisblue]

schlechte aufnahmequalität

[twooos]

well that was fuckin good

[jacksonrox]

how much is one?

[autosmash]

What strings do you use? Guages?

[Arvobravo]

[autosmash]

What strings do you use? Guages?

[Riker1982]

[Arvobravo]

Yeah, players like petrucci and loomis also, some vai and stuff

[td7687]

hell yeah dude loomis and petrucci are fucking amazing at the 7 string

[RG7621]

EXCELLENT! By far the most impressive 7 String video I've seen on youtube so far! 5 Stars.

[mushi753]

[Arvobravo]

[goldmember123]

For the record I think your fuckin good, you dont even have to call it wanking, put a chorud before it and some versus and you got yourself a solo

[cdwillis]

Nice Ste

[sallyjones22]
