Wes Borland (born 1975) is the guitarist of Limp Bizkit and Black Light Burns.He uses a custom-built seven-string guitar tuned to AADDGBE for the song "Citizen Erased". Matt Bellamy (born 1978) is the lead vocalist and guitarist of Muse.Gerry Beaudoin is a jazz guitarist, composer and arranger, and member of the New Guitar Summit.Howard Alden (born 1958) is an American jazz guitarist who plays a seven string guitar and has been described as the most impressive and creative member of a new generation of jazz guitarists.He attended the Atlanta Institute of Music. He is noted for often incorporating elements of metal and shred while also having clean passages in his songs, making much use of his 8-string guitar's range to cover both the bass and guitar tracks for his compositions simultaneously on one guitar. He has used extended range instruments almost exclusively since. He started playing extended range instruments when a friend recommended an Ibanez seven string guitar to him. Tosin Abasi (born 1983) is a guitarist, formerly of Reflux, who has since started his own solo project known as Animals as Leaders.This list does not include multi-neck guitarists or harp guitarists. This is a list of guitarists who have made notable usage of extended-range guitars or have played a specifically notable instrument. There are some classical players of the seven-string guitar who also use an extended treble range by adding more frets at the high end (similar to some Viennese guitars of the 19th century.) Extended range classical guitars (especially 8- and 10-string instruments) are being seen more frequently, and have found favor with guitarists who play Renaissance and Baroque lute music, as well as those who wish to transcribe piano and orchestral works for the guitar.
During the 90's the seven string guitar became popular among metal bands such who used the additional string for extra low end. Some of these guitars are ethnic instruments, specific to different cultures such as Russian and Brazilian guitars. Seven, eight, nine, ten and more strings have been used by guitarists seeking to increase the range of pitches available from the instrument. While the six string guitar has been more or less the standard instrument since the mid-19th century, guitarists and luthiers have experimented with additional strings to extend the range of the instrument practically since the emergence of the modern guitar form, sometime in the 15th century.
