I've recently started a melodic death metal band here in Victoria with the serious intentions of playing shows and seeing where things go from there. The style is very Swedish death metal influenced (Scar Symmetry/Soilwork/Mors Principium Est/In Flames/ Darkane)except more epic and with a major emphasis on dual guitar parts and huge riffs. The problem is, he 8 songs we have written are all using 7 string guitars tuned to BEADGBE. Any rhythm guitar player would have to own a 7 string or be able to tune that low without their guitar going out of tune (get a setup for the guitar). We are looking for someone who would be available to jam 2 times a week and who would be willing to put in a lot of effort to learn the parts, which are all already written. If you would like to hear the music, drop me an e-mail at [email protected] and I'll either send you something or we can meet. The guitarist also needs to be over 18, be a very strong and precise rhythm player, have the ability to learn quickly (no music theory needed though) and be able to occasionally play some lead parts. Stage experience would be appreciated but if you are awesome, it doesnt matter ;)
Let me know if I've left any important details out. I hope to hear from some people ready to play some metal! - Fri, 31 Aug 2007 9:27pm

I wish I could afford a 7 string guitar because this sounds like something I'd like to do. Damnit, someday I'll have money. - Wed, 5 Sep 2007 1:56am

Well another option would be to get a setup on an existing guitar so that it can play much better in lower tunings.. then you'd have to avoid any leads/parts that would be on the high E string. How many years have you been playing and how old are you? - Wed, 5 Sep 2007 5:29pm

Okay I'm going to change the requirements here. Is there any guitarist who would be willing to tune to B standard on a 6 string (7 string is also fine) for a melodic death metal band set to contain 3 guitarists (yes there is that much guitar in the songs). If you are interested or want to hear the music, I can now send you samples of the songs (all the guitar parts together) - Sat, 22 Sep 2007 9:57am

Hey man,
Sorry if this reply i slate or anything.. I dont check these boards often anymore. So where we stand at the moment (the band - Reaver) is we are a 5 piece with 2 7 stringers on board. We actually had 3 but had to part ways due to lack of commitment. We've found that learning the songs goes MUCH faster with 2 guitarists so we will keep on like this until we have enough material down to play a short show. The thing is, I am toying with the idea of bringing in a 3rd guitarist once the rest of us have everything down.. someone who can learn very quickly. So basically, at the moment we wont be recruiting another guitarist but if in a month from now we decide to bring in another guitarist I will be sure to shoot you an e-mail and see if you are still kicking around. Best of luck to you! - Thu, 25 Oct 2007 7:58pm
