I've said it before, I'll say it again: Ditch the capo and get a hair cut hippy.

The guy clearly is very talented, but I got issues with 7 string guitars. Like 6 isn't enough? I say first master, I mean master 6 strings then maybe 7 would do something for you. The only guy I've seen that really used 7 strings well, made it something he couldn't possible do with just 6 is:

Makes Dragon force look like Elvis Costello

It does seem like 7 stringers are of the shred ilk ala Steve Vai, etc plus
the Korn era anger sludge... BUT

One of the originators was George Van Eps and he wanted the 7 string
to be able to play both walking bass lines, chords melody and lead lines..

Gretsch obliged him with a seven stringer

dragonforce is cool nintendo music on crack Smile

I have 2 kids that rock hard with "through the fire and flames"

Now that's what I'm talkin bout, always was a fan. To justify 7 strings, you need to be able to do what you couldn't do with 6. But then again, old Scotty Anderson manages to get the bass lines working pretty impressively without the extra string.
