Did you keep the guitar stock or get it setup to eflat tuning with 9's string guage?I Just got the guitar and it came with standard tuning and 10's I believe. Awesome playing, im trying to learn this right now.
Well he is on the neck pickup I think, which makes any sweep sound clean... no matter good you are or how much you suck. Either way it was really good.
@unorthodox41 All the Ibanez 7's I have played sucked. The best 7 string guitar I have ever played (I've tried a lot) is the Rusty Cooley RC7. It blows all other guitars, even really great 7 strings like this Loomis guitar, out of the water.
@GitarrPwnz Which Ibanez 7s did you try? Most guitars are terribly set up in the guitar stores anyway, so I'm not surprised, I played a bunch that I thought sucked but it was just the shitty setup
I don't know if you've tried it yet or not, but the main arpeggio section to This Godless Endeavor is extremely fun. The whole song is pretty fun to play, but the solo is a bit of a challenge.
nice playing man, you would think at such a y young age they would use a talented young guy like you in the music business, but no they want Justin Beiber..
hae man i was just just wondering.. ive always wanted a seven string but ive got relativly normal hand size so would the larger scale? my guitar has jumbo fretts and i can do streches from like 12-15-19.. but im not sure how big the diffrance of scale has.. if you get back to thatd be great thanks..
@imconfusd I have pretty small hands I think and I have no problem playing this guitar. I can easily do 12-15-19 with this one. It's just all about getting used to it.
@imconfusd The 7 string I just ordered has the same scale as my 6 string. THe fretboard is just wider so if your thumb goes around the back of the neck(like me) instead of resting in the middle it will take a little getting used to.
dude if he made something original you probably wouldn't be watching it right now and that is because you wouldn't care enough or have the time to watch it
If you are going to get a signature model, why not get the one that actually resembles the one he plays is my point. The purpose of the floyd rose overrides the tonal benefits to me.
This is probably the best 7 string guitar you can find, so if you want one, just take the J.L Sig, it's worth it !
Not trying to do some comercial or what ever, but with all the research I did, let's say I found the same results as Riku ( I'd like to say your name instead but I only know you as RikuNiemonen xD ) since he got one too and that I was thinking of bying one a long time ago ! :D
well first it might feel a little weird because of the longer scale but when you get used to it it plays just great. Personally I think it's a better guitar than RL-600.
Well I didn't want to pay over 200 euros more just to get the floyd rose. And seriously I don't even use it that much and my RL-600 has a floyd rose. One thing is also that I find it very annoying to change strings to floyd rose guitar :D
yeah I guess your right, my guitar has a floyd rose too so I guess I'll go for the fixed brigde, seems like this guitar has awesome tones and that it plays very well, I watched lots of videos about this guitar and I'm convinced that it's a great guitar, and even more since you said it's the best guitar you've played lol
nice riku!! new and well done cover of yours! your new guitar is really cool though, but if the passive pickup is a problem on rl600 why dont you replace it for an active then? i have an rl600 too and i think that the active pickup sounds much better too, its a shame that rl600/alexi models use emghz...oh well =S
do you have any tip or excercise to help me not only make my fingers swifter but to kind of learn to sweep? im 2º guitar and want to improve my soloing and else. Please!
Start out slowly and then try to increase the speed. But remember it takes months and months to get it really going. And if you play arpeggios slowly and for example your pinky feels weak and you can't control it you must strenghten it.
I have it. But after getting used to this guitar I really noticed how much better the active pickups sounded. The passive pickup propably works better with Roopes setup but with my amp the actives sound just so much better. Also this guitar has massive sustain.
it's a passive EMG HZ H2. But he sometimes uses active pre-amps in the loop somewhere. If you ask me, Riku's 'roope guitar' tone sounds amazing anyway!
so you don't really need a 7 strings to play this song... it's shredding time!!!!
