Online resources for 7 stringers???

audioguy · #1 03-02-2003, 12:18 AM

Hey guys and gals, long time listener first time caller...

Im looking for any RELIABLE resources on the web with some good lessons geared directly at 7 string players. I have found only a couple reliable sites( www.robbalducci.com & www.jim-horne.com), but they only have a few lessons up now.
I know I'll never find the same amount of lessons, scales, chord fingerings and suggestions that the 6 string world has, but there has to be more than the garbage Im finding now.
I'm sure that if I spent the weekend and scoured this board I would find some links, however I would rather spend the time playing!

Thanks for anyone that can help!

Well, i've got a few 7-string lessons on my site... http://www.geocities.com/marxist49/Shred101.html ...Haven't updated in a while, so i guess maybe i'll use this as a reason to get on that again...

I do quite a bit of web design... I think I need to build the page Im looking for myself, if you know what I mean...
I want one big resource with articles and lessons and good design on a no-pop-up server.... kinda like Jemsite.com but with more 7 string stuff.
Thanks for the link my friend! I will chck it out.

Worth a try- I've been using Opera 5.0 to browse, and i've never had a problem with popups on Geocities because of it. They just don't show...

Give that Bach prelude a try- some tricky fingerings in there, but it's a cool sounding peice.

No need to buy Opera to enjoy popup-free browsing. This browser is completely free (and banner-free as well), standard-compliant and has a nice UI to boot. Tabbed browsing is supported as well. That's in fact my main browser for the past 2 months or so, I'm using it to post this message.

I wasnt trying to start a browser debate... Im just looking for 7 STRING GUITAR resources.

Opera's free too... you get a little ad window up in the toolbar, but most of the time i don't even know it's there.

See, that's the fun with jemsite- we can go off topic at the drop of a hat, and in the STRANGEST directions.

Audioguy- have you tried to write any of your own yet? The content will never be there if no one provides it... I'm trying, but i'm a senior in college and it's rare enough that i have time to play, much less write lessons.

Um, make that, "free time to play," no t"time to play." I play all the time, it's just i shouldn't.

You hit it on the head... there isnt a lot of content. What I think I'll do is, one of these days, build a web site as a repository for all of the hard to find, and odd ball lessons for the 7 string. Just compile either the lessons, or links to the lessons, making a one stop shop.
Yes I do plan on writting my own in the future. But I dont see that happening till I wrap my brain around the new guitar.

As for browsers.. I actually prefer Opera over all the Mozilla. But its just easier to leave MSIE alone. If the web page is done correctly you shouldnt give a damn about which browser to use.

I prefer Opera for the "browsing by gestures" feature- right click and drag right to go forward, left to go back. it's cool.

Course, i keep trying to do it in windows...

You've got me inspired again- i'll try to write some more this weekend.
