SEVEN STRING GUY
by Guy Pople, our 7 String Guy

Here is my second part of the Modes for 7B tuners...


Some food for thought... The most important thing to remember about modes is that after you have stripped away the jargon, each of the 7 positions has the same notes as the next.

Be sure to check out 7stringer "Toshi Iseda" at http://www.overthetop.com/

and why not track down some of the stylish playing of Steve Morse... master of all trades...

If anyone has any info which should be public knowledge {7string related only please}, feel free to contact me at http://www.7string.org
