6 or 7 strings ? :) - advice required for beginner


Hey everyone !

Basically, I am gonna start playing and am looking about for a guitar...and first thought came to mind .....

6 or 7 strings.


I like a lot of music that uses 7-string guitar and would like to be able to learn to play these songs. There is also something which draws me to the 7-string too...I just seem to prefer the idea.

However, I realise that it may not be a great idea to start off on a 7 string guitar if it is exponentially more difficult to play. I have asked people who I know and they reckon that there is no reason why it should prove to be more difficult to learn on a 7 string....and in fact they say at least u will be used to it from the start instead of switching over to it from 6.

I know you can achieve a similar sound with 6 strings by detuning to dropped D and taking half a step down etc.....but...I still just kinda wanna get a 7...

Anyways... I put it to u people.

Also...recommendations on a good entry level 7-string guitar?

I quite like the look of the Ibanez GRX720 are these any good?

Cheers.
