If you're too lazy to read it all:
sevenstring.org: Are there any other seven string guitar players out there that pique your interest?

Chris: I really had a great time playing with Jeff Loomis from Nevermore, he is an awesome player. I started playing 7's back in the early ninety's because Petrucci showed me that the 7Th string was sonically usable, and he of course is a great player as well.

sevenstring.org: What initially got you into sevens?

Chris: Dream Theater's Awake showed me that the 7Th string doesn't have to sound like a pile of mud. I had tried them before in a store and couldn't get any sound out of them I liked until I heard that CD.
