What is 7 string guitar tuning?

A 7-string guitar typically has an extra low B string added to the standard six strings. The most common tuning for a 7-string guitar is B-E-A-D-G-B-E, with the low B string providing additional depth and range to the instrument.

This tuning allows for a wider range of notes to be played, especially in the lower register, and can be popular among metal, jazz, and progressive rock guitarists. It can also be used for genres such as djent and metalcore.

Some players may experiment with alternative tunings for their 7-string guitar, such as drop A (A-E-A-D-G-B-E) or drop G (G-D-G-C-F-A-D), depending on their preferred style of music or personal preference.

Overall, the 7-string guitar tuning provides guitarists with additional sonic possibilities and allows for greater creativity in their playing.
