1024x768 5 Creative Tactics That Will Transform Your 7 String Guitar PlayingBy Tom HessDo you feel like your 7 string guitar playing is not ascreative as you would like it to be? Chances are, you have not fully exploredthe instrument’s creative possibilities and limited your approach to simplytrying make your 6 string ideas work with the low B string.Unlike most guitarists, truly great guitar players are wellaware of the differences between 6 and 7 string guitar. As a result, they areable to play creatively on their instrument. In an past article I made, I covered several 7 string guitar ideas.This gave you many additional ideas for how to use your instrument as well ashow to smoothly transition from 6 string guitar to 7 string guitar. Thisarticle will focus on some more specific ideas that will help you use 7 stringguitar to improve your overall guitar playing ability. Implement these five concepts into your regular guitarpractice routine in order to become much better and more creative in your 7string guitar playing:Use Variety When PlayingWith Palm Muting In Your Rhythm Guitar Riffs You might think that palm muting is a very easy and basicguitar technique, however, developing it to a level of true mastery requiresgreat skill and focus (as with most techniques). As discussed in this resourceabout how torecord guitar parts, many guitarists use sloppy palm muting techniqueduring their recordings. As a result, they have to buy more time in the studiojust so they can redo their recordings.With this in mind, you know you have truly mastered palmmuting when you have the ability to consciously adjust the precise amount ofmuting you apply while playing rhythm guitar ideas. A good illustration of thisis when you use palm muting technique while playing a power chord and slowlydecrease the pressure of your palm on the strings to allow them to ring outopenly. This technique can sound really intense when applied on the low Bstring due to the natural ‘heaviness’ of the lower register. Applying thistechnique consistently and accurately requires practice, especially if you aregoing to ‘record’ a double tracked rhythm guitar part that uses it. This palmmuting application is not at all the same as playing guitar with inconsistentmuting without being aware of what you are doing.Learn howto play 7 string rhythm guitar using this palm muting style to enhance yourguitar riffs.Use String Skipping To Enhance TheIntensity Of Your Guitar RiffsOne of the first things that guitar players are drawn towith 7 string guitar is playing rhythm patterns on the low B string. Theexpanded pitch range of this string gives you the opportunity to use stringskipping as a tool to make really intense and killer rhythm guitar riffs. Inmany cases, string skipping would normally be used as a lead guitar technique.However, on 7 string guitar the low B string allows you to use string skippingwhile still remaining in the lower pitch range normally associated with rhythmguitar.When you begin skipping strings from the low B string, yougive yourself more options to be creative as well as improve your ability topick with a much higher degree of accuracy. Why is this? While playing on 7string guitar, not only must you adjust for the wider neck, but you mustovercome these two obstacles as well:1. You have to move your picking hand a greater distancebetween each string.2. The likeliness that extra noise will occur due to otherstrings ringing out increases with the additional string. You must use greatfocus to mute properly while skipping strings.Expand your understanding of this string skipping idea byusing the free examples in this resource about how to play 7 string rhythmguitar.Utilize The Low 7thString To Enhance Your Picking Hand AccuracyOne unique way to develop your picking hand accuracy is totake advantage of the thickness of the low B string. Here’s how to do this:First, think of several licks, scale patterns or riffs that only use the lowesttwo strings. Then take your time and develop the ability to play them fast withan emphasis on perfect accuracy for each note (use palm muting as well toimprove your muting technique).Increase the difficulty of this exercise by temporarilyturning your gain or distortion settings OFF so that it becomes harder to cleanlyarticulate each note. By doing this, you will expose any weaknesses in yourpicking attack and force yourself to make adjustments in order to get better.Once you return to your normal distortion settings you will quickly notice thatit feels much easier to articulate and play each note more accurately than youcould previously.Using IrregularRhythms To Build Musical IntensityMany people associated the term ‘irregular rhythm’ with‘irregular meter’. However, these terms are not interchangeable. Whileirregular meter refers specifically to the meter of the music (such as 7/4 or5/8), irregular rhythm refers to how the beats are divided within a singlemeasure. Generally speaking, irregular rhythm has to do with using unexpectedsyncopation, silence or note groupings that surprise the listener. Of course you can use irregular rhythms while playing 6string guitar as well, however when you use them on the low 7thstring it combines with the natural intensity of playing in the lower registerto add MASSIVE tension and power to your music. For instance, I like tooccasionally add in silence during the middle of a measure to create anirregular feel to the music. While doing this, I catch the listener off guardby changing their rhythmic expectations and create a lot of extra tension inthe music with the intense feel of the low B string.Want to hear how this sounds? Listen to the mp3 examples inthis 7 string guitarplaying resource.Play Using A HigherRegister By Stringing Your Guitar With A High “A” StringIt is overwhelmingly common for 7 string guitar players touse a low B string. After all, this is how most 7 string guitars are sold atguitar shops. However, this does not mean that you are limited to only playingwith this string. It is perfectly acceptable to use a high “A” string (instandard tuning) that expands the higher register rather than a low B string.When you do this, you will open the door to creative lead guitar possibilitiesthat are totally unavailable in both 6 string guitar and typical 7 stringguitar set ups. Warning: Just like with the low B string, it is very easy toover-emphasize the high A string and cause your guitar playing to lose a senseof variety. Keep this in mind and use a balanced approach to keep your guitarplaying fresh.As you have found out in this article, there are far morecreative possibilities for 7 string guitar than you might first expect.Certainly 6 string and 7 string guitars are played very similarly, however whenyou think creatively you can use the 7 string guitar to enhance your guitarplaying and musicianship in interesting ways.Get more information to help you get the maximum value outof this article and learn howto play 7 string rhythm guitar with more creativity.About The Author:Tom Hess is a highly successful guitar teacher, recordingartist and the guitar player for the band Rhapsody Of Fire.
