- Got this Ibanez RGIXL7 baritone 7 string recently and I'm in love with it. I finally get why people love baritone 7s so much. This is all stock and setup in drop F#. It sounds this good out of the box running through Archetype: Gojira on DEFAULT settings. So naturally I pulled the Architects riffs out.
Guitar: Ibanez RGIXL7 w/stock DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickups
Tones: Neural DSP Archetype: Gojira
Bass: Submission Audio UmanskyBass
Drums: GetGood Drums OKW: Architects
this sounds absolutely sick
Thankya snes!
i got two 20 second ads for this video, but the guitar is sick and the riffage even sicker
Oh man. I appreciate you sticking it out to get to the video though! haha
The riff! 😍
It's just so good
I love the RG headstock, similiar to mine RG8. Anyway it sounds even cleaner than original I guess :D great video.
Yeah I really like the headstock on this one! Thanks heaps, man. Very kind. ❤️
Cool guitar. Great Job
Cheers!
Hey man, great playing. I was wondering about getting the 6 string version of this baritone (never had one), the rgrtbb21. I'm also looking to upgrade my main guitar so I could also buy the standard version of these (rgrtb621) but I can only afford one of them. I'd like to get your opinion, should I just upgrade my guitar or get the baritone to expand my 'arsenal' so to speak?
Hey mate, thanks! Sure. I think it all depends on what you have already and what you want to be able to do. Are you playing heaps of low tuned stuff but your main guitar isn't good for that? Need to cover multiple tunings etc? Like, I have this in drop F# because my other guitars are in standard/drop D, so it fills a need by doing something they can't do. If that's what you're trying to do then filling out your arsenal with a baritone sounds smart! But if your having trouble with your main guitar and it needs upgrading to something and you don't want it dropped super low then maybe the standard version would be best? It's hard to say without knowing the situation
I love how I hear the bass more than the low string on the guitar on my phone.
I can hear the guitar just fine on my phone. Use headphones
It might just be me trying to focus on the bass more since I am a bassist.
That could indeed be it haha
great guitar, pickups sound a little muddy for how low i tune (at least double c# lmao) but i swapped them out with some d-activators and this thing rips now
gonna paint it and evertune swap it sooner or later
Oh geez yeah they would sound muddy down there haha. I've heard great things about the d-activators! Evertune upgrade is definitely on my mind for this one at some point too!
Hey big bro u got like a practice routine you follow or something?
Hey man! Sorry for the late reply. I don't have a rigid routine anymore, I find it hard to keep to a strict routine between work, writing songs, writing riffs for videos and recording etc. But I do have some exercises and runs I like to drill with a metronome. I run over scales while watching stuff and drinking my coffee. I do a lot of improv and legato practice and I've more recently been trying to work on my alternate picking speed and accuracy with exercises to a metronome. Happy to be more specific if you wanted to DM me on instagram!
i get confused. i assumed a baritone is a 6 string with an extended neck. but does that mean that any guitar with extended neck is baritone including 7 and 8s? or is only the 6 string version considered a baritone? anywho great track btw.
any guitar with more than 25.5 inches of scale is a baritone. the longer scale length makes it easier to intonate lower tunings and gives a bit more of tension. most baritones are 27, but you can find 26.5, 28 and 29.4/30. Almost all 8 strings are baritones 27 inches, all 9 strings are, mostly 28 or 30inches
Totally understand how that would be confusing! It's pretty much what @Davix-tt9sh said. Usually the baritone threshold is considered to be 27" and above, but a lot of people consider 26.5" to be the threshold. But yes, you're right. Any guitar with a longer scale neck, starting at 26.5"/27" and above is a baritone. 7s, 8s and 9s included!
How much was the guitar? (Sounds awesome btw)
they sell for around 900€ in europe, idk about america
@@DIM00252 thanks
Cheers man. I'm in Australia and they retail for $2299. Noone sells them for that though haha
@@itsMEADOWS Nice, I’m also in Australia!
Have you seen a baritone guitar like that with a Floyd? 6 or 7 string?
Kind of, yeah. Ibanez have a model called the RGDR4327 which is a 7 string with a Floyd and a 26.5" scale length. It's only a half inch shorter than this guitar and it looks VERY similar. It'd be killer if that's what you're looking for!
RG2027XL, great guitar, Wes Hauch has two of them
@@itsMEADOWS That's pretty much exactly what I was looking, for thank you for the suggestion. I knew the price would sting a bit, but I'll have to save up for one of those I think. Also, that's some killer riffing in this vid, I feel like I should have led with that but I'm getting really interested in extended scale guitars because I like low tunings a lot.
@@Davix-tt9sh That sounds like a great option, thanks for the suggestion.
Perfect! Hope you can get your hands on one soon! And thank you, haha.
That is mean
Very mean riff indeed
