I'm not a guitar pro at all but I do own a 7 string and i'm not sure what you mean by the tunings you say with the extra A string. Is that a special tuning or standard. The tuning I use is just the extra heavy string string is tuned to be just as a deeper/lower power chord tuning basically if that makes sense. I don't know note/tab stuff for it.

I'm guessing you mean Drop A (AEADGBE)? If so, that's also the most common tuning for 7-string jazz, and is what Jimmy Foster is tuned to.

Wow, this is beautiful playing! Ya know, awhile ago I bought a 7 string with the intention of pursuing jazz and using walking bass lines. I never followed through after the purchase, but you sir have just inspired me! Thanks for the great video!
