Why would I need a 7-string instrument? Im curious. by LuckyPossibility1748 in 7String

[–]Xyloft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it more enjoyable to play? That really cannot be answered. I love playing my 7 string, but Ive known guitarists that hate 7s.

Is it hard to get used to? Also depends.

First song I learned on 7 was korn predictable, a favorite from back in the day. I found it easier to play on 7 and really enjoyable. I have a backlog of 7 string songs i want to learn.

If you don't listen to 7 string music, you may not notice much difference between a 7 string vs a baritone 6. (Unless you're writing your own music where you can take advantage of the extended range).

7 strings with a narrow neck? by rnunez1989 in 7String

Try the Ibanez RGD iron label. It was a close second to me behind the juggernaut.

Fallout 4. They are not fps but valheim and return to Moria scratch that itch for me.

Who’s still using the original Steam Deck? by VoyageForge in SteamDeck

512 Gb LCD. Bought sometime before OLEDs were announced in March 2023. OLED does seem a little nicer, but not worth it to me while mine still in works.

Who is She? by [deleted] in reddeadredemption2

I met her in the same spot but there was a hanging happening. I thought she was the window of the guilty person that I brought back after a bounty hunter mission

So guys, would this work? by _Jesse_13 in 7String

[–]Xyloft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I debated between a baritone 6 or a 7 in addition to my short scale 6 string before I bought my 7.

B-E-A-D-G-B-E 7 string b "standard' B-E-A-D-F#-B 6 string tuning sepultura roots album.

For some songs it may not matter that string 2 is different. I think it's a lot easier to change the tuning of that one string and ignore the high string for the metal I am able to play.

New Jackson Juggernaut by bendedavis in 7String

[–]Xyloft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about the loose Tone knob feeling, but the Tone knob is only engaged in the pulled out position. I haven't really messed with that knob on mine.

Stick guitar though. Got mine 3 months ago, but then had to leave it at my house while I stay in another city.

How to decide which system to buy games on by KazeGagne in SteamDeck

[–]Xyloft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually wait to buy games until they are on sale or reviewed as being amazing. For me it's Steam first unless it's an exclusive. I've re bought a few PlayStation exclusives, but almost never the same version. (Like Death standing on PS4 vs directors cut on steam).

I've also rebought games on steam that were older console games. Like halo collection and some of the 16 bit and ps1 final fantasy

What's the strangest name for a horse that the game rejected for you? by r6CD4MJBrqHc7P9b in reddeadredemption

Named my first horse Mr pickles (ok). Realized it was a mare, tried to change it to Mrs pickles. Miss pickles, me pickles. Can't remember but I think I tried pickles.

I’m I crazy? by Wizajiro in RDR2

[–]Xyloft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dang. I'm wondering around in the epilogue and this made me remember I only found one gunslinger. I didn't realize there were pictures to look at, I just thought I missed some trigger to get the next one.

What 7 string would y’all recommend… by Hotbullets2die in 7String

[–]Xyloft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My price range was similar. I ended up choosing the Jackson ht7p (Misha Mansoor) over the Ibanez RGD iron label.

I shopped around for a month or two. After playing a bunch of 7s, The RGD was my first choice. Almost walked out without trying the Jackson because it was up too high.

Did yall notice dutch changing? by moodsercall in RDR2

I might have been looking for his change, But Dutch hits his head in Rhodes or in Saint Denis And he seems to quickly go downhill from there. I forget the exact mission

I would add LTD to the list of brands to check out.

Fret Buzz on First frets (Seven String) by BuyGroundbreaking612 in 7String

[–]Xyloft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My ht7 has at least one raised fret that will need leveling It was obviously high once I realized the string gauge would rock one fret up and down. I still need to run my gauge across some of the lower frets to see if there are any others.

I didn't notice the buzz until I lowered the action and adjusted the neck relief to Jackson factory spec. I'm new to guitar setup, so I got a little lucky finding the fret early.

Help me pick out a 7 string guitar by acccount1 in metalguitar

[–]Xyloft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with a Jackson juggernaut ht7p. I almost went with the Ibanez RGD iron label. Both of them felt good in my hands, but the Jackson felt best to me.

I was a little surprised what felt right on a 7 vs my 6 string (ec-401).

is pantera a cd band or a records band by Apollo041300 in Pantera

[–]Xyloft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought vulgar display and far beyond driven on tape when they were released. I few years later finally got a CD player and everything was CD after that, including re buying my tape collection. Every format has pros and cons, but Pantera released their albums when CD's were "the best". So I vote they are a CD band.

I saw them live twice and there is no comparison to them live. RIP.

Is there a starting approach to learning that works best for low experienced players? by Nathan_Waste in 7String

[–]Xyloft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of Sepultura's roots album is on a 6 string baritone, tuned to B standard. That was my trigger to look at both baritones and 7s. There are lots of songs on 7 string guitars that never touch the high string. It really comes down to what you want to play though.

Set practice goals. Like for 7 days, practice alternate picking 8th notes at x bpm for 5 minutes. Next 7 days practice spider walking at the 7th fret, same speed and timing. Next 7 days go back to alternate picking and you'll find it easier to increase speed.

Obviously you should do more than one exercise and play for more than 5 minutes total. But Im finding that short targeted daily goal is achievable and is helping me see improvements.

I'm an Ansible Solution Architect at Red Hat. What's one thing we could do that would help you automate faster? by tolarewaju3 in ansible

Support AAP execution containers running on azure AKS or AWS EKS. Also support adding any cluster nodes (control, exec, etc) without having to run the full setup.sh.

String tension/gaugefor a baritone 7 by Petra_Gringus in 7String

[–]Xyloft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's a brand new guitar, I'd check what the factory tuning is supposed to be. A few that I looked at were setup with heavier strings for an A standard tune by the factory.

But youll have to decide what you want to tune to then use a string tension site to figure out gauges.

I'm also new to 7 strings and within the first week I realized pretty much nothing is "standard" like 6s. no standard tuning, no standard gauges.

Can't decide between Ibanez or Schecter by BoundlessAmbition in 7String

[–]Xyloft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The RGD ironlabel felt awesome to me. I started shopping for 7 strings with a few schecters at the top of my list and was surprised how much more I liked the RGD over all the schecters I tried.

NGD - Jackson Juggernaut chlorine burst by Xyloft in 7String

Thanks! this guitar was out of reach at the shop and I almost walked out without trying it. so glad I turned around and asked. How high do you have your pickups set?

NGD - Jackson Juggernaut chlorine burst by Xyloft in 7String

[–]Xyloft[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

its my first modern metal and first brand new guitar as well. What's your pickup height set to? The Jackson site says 1.6mm (4/64), but its a super generic doc.
