    This is one thing about Tomo that needs to be said: here is a man who is a "master" of his instrument yet is totally unashamed and unafraid to admit he has no idea what he is doing when presented with something completely new to his experience. That kind of open, honest humility is so lacking these days. Kudos to Tomo for being a real human being and immune to the awful sickness online that is known as "I-know-it-all-itis"....

    Since you asked for some recommendations of 7-string players to listen to, here's a few:
    For jazz, it must be George Van Eps, Bucky Pizzarelli, and Bucky's son John. For fusion, I recommend Richard Henshall's playing in Nova Collective and Tony McAlpine's in the bands Planet X and CAB. I don't know anybody who plays 7-string in funk, but Mark Lettieri plays a baritone which translates pretty well.

    僕の好きな7弦ギタリストはMUSEのMatthew Bellamyです。
    彼はメインは6弦ですが時々7弦ギターも弾いています。

    If you're looking for artists to reference for extended range, obviously Tosin and Javier from Animals as Leaders is a great place to start, their first album is mostly 7 string stuff, some of the stuff in their album Weightless and Joy of Motion use 7 strings but you might miss out on not having an 8th string to use for a few tunes. Per Nilsson of Scar Symmetry and Meshuggah uses 7 strings, Stephan Toranto is a another heavy 7 string user. Robby Baca and Cameron Maynard of The Contortionist heavily use 7 strings tuned a half step down, their album Language would be a great listen for you. Connor Kaminski is a strandberg artist that sometimes uses a 7 string, he has a good video on him explaining the perks of 7 strings. My last suggestion for you is to keep the strandberg set to its tolerance specs for setup, simply due to the nature of the neck. The guitar should have 10 thousandths of an inch of neck relief holding the first fret and last fret measuring at the 12th fret or holding the first and 17th fret measuring at the 9th fret and the action should be setup as follows measuring at the 17th fret in 64ths of an inch
    E or F# (8 String)= 4.5/64
    B=4/64
    E=4/64
    A=4/64
    D=3.5/64
    G=3.5/64
    B=3/64
    E=3/64
    These are the factory specs, I also recommend the nyxl strings made for 7 string standbergs as they are tempered for that specific guitar (you can definitely change these gauges and get a good result but I truly feel Strandbergs are their own unique instrument with their own unique feel and setup tolerances. Hope you get an 8 string one day haha, enjoy the new axe.

Howard Alden, Jimmy Bruno, Eschete, Bucky and John Pizzarelli, George Van Eps, charlie hunter, lenny breau, and my fav 7 string nylon player is Yamandu Costa, you can watch his video on youtube called "Yamandu Costa interpreta ritmo colombiano" - absolutely amazing. I was so excited when i heard the 7 string guitar used in this way, its like discovering a new ice cream flavor that is really awesome. Enjoy the guitar, it looks like you're adjusting well to the extra string :)

    Play Little Wing!!! or like The Wind Cries Mary you put the Third under the root. With the low B under the E you can put a fourth under the root or even a flat 5 or a perfect 5th under the root. Think about it you'll get it. How about GIT in LA you could used some Post Graduate study, and that's the place to go. I studied under Zane Gregory GIT grad and instructor.

    @wadman0720 Місяць тому +1

    Thank you Master Tomo...another informative video...as they all are. I have an observation & quick question. I can see, from the guitar design (very nice) that the lower cutout places the guitar on your right leg (as most do) and in doing so, your strumming hand is further up the neck. In this demo, you are actually strumming well above the neck pickup on the neck.
    So..is there any disadvantage to this...tone or sound wise?
    I ask because i built a LP style guitar, where i am strumming mainly between the bridge & neck pickup ...and recently built a Musicman style guitar (body is about 3 inches shorter) where my strumming hand is over neck pickup and lower neck (as in your demo). They both sound fine, yet my (75 yr old mind, as a beginner) says that i should force myself to play lower, between pickups...But your masterful playing shows...It does not matter...if it sounds good...play it !! Thx Tomo

    How to play a 7 string:
    Step 1: Tune so low that when u press down the 7 string ur finger nearly slips of the fretboard
    Step 2: Play the lower 6 strings and never use the 7th one.
    Now u can play low tunings and ur finger wont slip of the fretboard while playing the 6th string.
