Not Exactly your B string would need to be tuned to a G.
Your just tuning your guitar to a baritone guitar,
In which these are what Baritone guitars are used for.

If i tune it to a G which i have it just sounds fucked up. This little tutorial is not a solution to playing 7 strings songs it just allows you to play them and have a bit of fun. Your comment was a bit stupid (Your just tuning your guitar to a baritone guitar, In which these are what Baritone guitars are used for.) Rather then buying one i'm just tuning it to an useable tuning your just trying to be funny i guess. I write this topic just to help a few people out and i get comment like that.

your tuning is incorrect
you would go
B E A D G B
and than if you had a seven a top E would be on that

Here is how the Pentatonic scale would sound with the b sting tuned to G

And here is how it would sound with the F#
[attachment=437:F_.mp3]
So now this should allow people to understand where i'm coming from and why i did this. I would of recorded clips but my guitars now back in standard tuing so.

your pentatonic shape would be different for this tuning. it would not be the same shape to stay as a pentatonic. however, thats how it works on a seven string
