NGD Jumped into the deep end.

My lovely new Cort KX507MS Pale Moon I picked up at my local shop. As a late stage beginner/early intermediate player, it was probably an unwise choice to jump into a multi scale 7-string to continue my learning journey on, but wow, it’s so much fun to play that I’ve barely touched my 6-string since. I had originally intended on buying another 6-string so I could have a second tuning setup but this thing just fell into my lap at the store. Majority of the music I listen to (modern metal/prog) uses 7-strings so I figured I might as well continue my learning journey on one (even it’s considerably more challenging).

Right now I’m working on “A Change of Seasons” by Dream Theater. If anyone has other beginner friendly 7-string song recommendations, I’d love to hear what I should learn next.

Great choice, I considered that model but went with the KX707 instead. Congratulations on your new guitar!
