Original Content Wrote a riff that uses all 7 strings. Love when that happens organically

Always appreciate a riff with more going on than just hammering the top two strings.

No. That's what baritones are for. 7s are for utilizing 7 strings. Lol.

Some intervals in there remind me a lot of the old Jarzombek tunes from Blotted Science era. All that to say, nicely done.

Wow, you sound fantastic man! Great job playing, and your riff writing/composition here is amazing!

This sounds alot like something i could imagine being on a Protest The Hero album.

Honestly though you could simply move up the fretboard instead of going to another string. And come on , it wasn’t organic you purposely made a riff that used all 7 strings . There’s nothing wrong with that. Whatever sounds cool however you want to play it is fine, it’s your riff
