Hey to everyone who watches my stuff...I know it's been a really long time so I hope you won't be too hard on this video. I was really sick a few days ago but kept dragging myself to lab and surprising I was actually quite productive and made some progress! But today I decided to stay home before I got even worse...good health is important. Also, as you can probably tell, I cut my hair off hahaha. Anyways, this is a demo of my latest acquisition (combined bday/Christmas present), the signature guitar of Nergal from Behemoth. I saw them in concert in January and they were magnificent. I've been toying with the idea of getting a seven-string for a while and I finally bit the bullet - ESP/LTD have never disappointed me before, and they didn't start now. The guitar is pretty beastly, with a serious low end rumble (I actually had to pretty much set the bass controls on my amp to near zero for this video). So far the hardest part of seven string is learning "open" chords - but scales and arpeggios translate quite well. I tried to show off some licks that used all seven strings, to give you an idea, mainly warm up exercises I use. You'll have to forgive my terrible execution though, I haven't really been able to practice a whole lot since the New Year began - been really busy with school and also moving into a new apartment...hahaha. But now that I've gotten a taste of playing guitar again I'll probably be devoting a bit more time to it - I'm excited to compose on the 7-string <b>...</b>
