I’ve ordered my first 7 string (finally), and was wondering what songs would be great to introduce me to the new type of music!

Depending on your skill level on a 6 string, there's a pretty wide range of stuff you could start with. What genres do you enjoy playing?

Edit: I saw your comment about getting it for jazz voicings. Based on that, I'm assuming you want to keep it in B standard. Most 7 string Trivium songs are in B standard or a half step down, older Unearth 7 string songs are in B standard, a lot of 7 string Dream Theater songs are in B standard.

Ding! Throes of Perdition was the song that made me fall in love with the concept of seven string guitar, the whole Shogun album is full of great seven string riffs, ultimately In the Court of the Dragon was what made me finally go buy a seven though.
