Thanks, Kenny!   I'm glad you liked it.  I very much enjoy playing the 7 string, though I've got a ways to go before I'd consider it "comfortable".   But that's OK, I like the challenge and (so far) the results.  
 
No problem at all, John.   I thought it was a great DYI video and showed the various parts nicely.   While the tune itself was OK, the playing was very tight all around.   Someday I'd like to be proficient enough to pull of something like that, both playing and video editing.

That's cool Steve ,
 
Yeah I love playing 7 string when I do play it . Right now it is the only guitar I have out on my guitar stand .
 
One of the things that helped me get comfortable on it was  was thinking of the B string (second string ) and transferring that comfort ability and familiarity over to my low string ...or the A string ( 5th ) if you tune to low A...  
I can shred on 7 string  , but I actually prefer to approach my 7 string playing more along the lines of playing it as if I was doing my version of a unaccompanied guitarist wishing he was able to play keys on the guitar by doing a solo finger-style playing type of thing ...
One thing is for sure ...there has been lot's of fret board accidents and collisions with the finga's making wrong turns ....
 
I think I'm long over due for making a 7 string guitar u tube vid
 
Hey man good luck , I'm happy for you that you have a 7 string

Thanks!   I actually find myself picking it up the most right now, in part because it's different and in part because I just really like those low notes.        I'll have to give that "string transference" thing a try!

I REALLY liked the guitar/strings combo in this piece.  I am not particularly a fan of massively active kick drums, but that is a style preference on my part, and not a fault of what you presented.
 
What you did was done REALLY well, and when I was listening through it the first time, my friend happened to hear it and came back and asked me what it was, because he liked it a lot too.
 
NICE!

Very cool.
Very good workmanship, and a good good composition, that kept me interested through the whole track.
And you've done a good job on the drum programming.
And I liked the mix also. 
If I should say someting negative, that would be: "I don't like the colour on your shoes", and that doesn't make any sense....

Thanks, Øyvind.  Glad you liked it!
 
Thanks, Bob!  The kick thing does seem to be part of the style so I just go with it.       I am glad your friend liked it too, always nice to get an "outsiders" opinion.
 
Thanks, Mesh.  Good to know the mix is coming across.  Given the newness of the 7 string I'd imagine there's more of this genre waiting in the wings somewhere along the line...
 
Thanks, Wookiee.  And right back at ya!
 
Thanks, Roger!  I very much appreciate the comments.   Even though my shoes might feel otherwise.  
 
Thanks, Tom.  I wouldn't have thought Zappa, but that's one I'll never turn down.   Hopefully your seat is still intact!
