But say I`m gonna play a song which is written for six strings...which is a pretty common scenario. does the B-string come in the way often or is it just a case of getting used to it? I`ve already played a 5-string bass for a long time, but I don`t do much chords or shred on the bass, so dunno if it`s comparable You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I tend to play the 6-string more but only because it's a better quality guitar, not because of the extra string. The wider neck of a 7-string does give it a different feel, but again it's something that you get used to. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Just a thought. Well regarding that... I would take 7 string as a 6 string tuned to B.. and regarding say E min chord, it would be as hard, as playing A min IMO. Not that I ever held 7 string in my life... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
