  • WHY THE FUCK DOES MY 6TH STRING TOUCH THE GOD DAMN PICK UP?!??!

  • your mouth & you brain not syncronize on 6.47 - 6.54, bro.

  • it sucks when you find a video that looks helpful to something you are trying to do but the whole time the guy is explaining it hes making that stupid fuckin lip smacking sound every time he pauses.

  • Im here because my G-string snapped.. ;)

  • @ProtoTypeMunkey i broke a g string while fingering a minor

  • @PennaPlanum You legaand..just saaying!! x'D <3

  • My bridge is super difficult to change the strings. Therefore I call it an AXEL ROSE.

  • wow, i have been playing guitar for 7 years, until this moment, i did not know u had to cut off the ball at the end of the string for a floyd rose trem -_-

  • noooo!!! i have a 7 string this sucks!!

  • @Gizmatic23 LOL

  • No offense but your almost 10 minute video could easily have been cut down to around 2 minutes. It was kinda beating around the bush but thank you .

  • Comment removed

  • 5:57 That's what she said

  • i'm here because my low E string snapped :(

  • i'm here because i did a dive bomb

  • thanx man u were a real life saver :D

  • thank you, this video helped

  • "You follow me camera guy?" :)

  • what string shall i use on a floyd rose?

  • @polishskaterdude32 well when you usally get a guitar with a floyd rose they put on 9's for the low tension look up the model of your guitar or look at a manual and it should tell you what you should use for it. I know you can get different gauges but you'd be better off getting someone to do it for you because you'd have to mess with the tension nal that kinda shit. Hope that helps ya :)

  • *spends 3hours doing low E string* YES! FINALLY!

    *looks down to notice theres 5 more strings* -_- fuck this.......

  • a nice floyd rose guitar on sale on ebay ebay.com/itm/FLOYD-ROSE-DISCOV­ERY-ELECTRIC-GUITAR-STRATOCAST­ER-MINT-PERFECT-CONDITION-/140­630265235?pt=Guitar&hash=item2­0be378d93

  • thanks for the advice on the guitar care but why has most of you paint chipped of the edge of your guitar

  • I just bought a guitar with a floyd rose locking system and it does not keep in tune, I know it may be the strings but it gets out of tune a lot. Can anyone tell me why does it happens?

  • @metalupyourass19196 I'm having the same problem. Mine is because it doesn't come all the way down when you release the bar (non-floating). I'm going to try some light strings because I think the strings are a little too heavy which would create too much pull on the springs. I'm trying to ease the tension on the springs to make it easier to depress the bar.

  • @metalupyourass19196 the reason that u are having this problem could be because u need to STRETCH your strings before u tune everything up

  • Clean the rosewood board

    WHAT i thought this was a string replacement lesson!

  • The first thing I did when my guitar string snapped was running to my computer and starting this video!

  • can someone tell me how to tune a floyd rose guitar down to C tuning?

  • @kolpower youll need to either take the tune locking off, change the string gauge, or if youve done that theres little like knobby things on the bottom of the guitar and you can twivel them round and it will change the tuning :)

  • HOLY s h i t you need strings to chanche de strings on your guitars

    son of a FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuuu

    i think it was a burger

  • I took my Ibanez to a shop to fit some new strings.The guy says...

    "Wow,never in 15 years of playing guitar have I seen this type of bridge."

    Why does this dude work here? xD Mine had the double lock system.

  • I allways fuck up my guitar when I change it's strings

  • i toke all the strings off at once by accedent and the floyd rose wont go back up cause i dont have the wammy bar yet and my last g string broke idk y but ya o and its a b.c. rich warlock i just bought and im like dying to play it

  • Boring

  • lol you do you even bother with guitar polish when its all banged up

  • i have a question.. i used 6012 string and i tuned it in drop c.. the bridge somehow keep going up follow the string when i tuned it.. spring at the back i have screwed it to the max but the bridge wont go down... is it the spring is loose or string 6012 doesnt fit in drop c? bcuz my friend suggest to me change it to 6012 strings...

  • @kecikenot Floyd Roses are a horrible mix with 60-12 strings, And they're should be springs in the back of the body that you can take out to help get some of the tension that the heavy gauged strings are causing, otherwise you should switch to 9's

  • @kecikenot ur guitar should of come with an extra spring to put in to fix that, if not u should be able to buy one at a guitar store

  • Cutting the balls off.....that sounds great :D

  • dude i have same tuner and same crappy strings lol

  • Lip smacking FTW

  • im new at floyd rose is this a original or licenced floyd?

  • Goddamn some of you people on here! Bitch and moan, bitch and moan, bitch and moan... Why don't you thank him for taking the time to make these videos instead of complaining about a bunch of bullshit?

  • I'm sooo pissed. I just got a guitar with floyd rose that I've been dieing to get for 2 years. as soon as I get home. I do one squeel. string snaps. whole thing outa tune and can't even tune it. And now I have to wait a few days to bring it back to fix it. cuz I'm not going to try to and fuck it up.

  • @NationalSD Good idea. I did the same thing but tried to fix it. I fucked up the bridge so bad

  • You g string bolt that tightens down the saddle look's stripped.

  • good video, although next time if you want to tell us how to keep your guitar in good shape shouldnt you use a guitar without chips on it?

  • within the first 3 minutes i could of swore this was a video on how seduce your guitar

  • really? why make it this long. just show us how to change them. you're just wasting time

  • I was wondering how to change them on my Dinky, Never knew you had to clip the ball at the end, i've been sitting there for an hour or two.

  • @MurderousPandas mine also has a different floyd rose it doesnt have the cube thingy

  • Hi Does anyone know how to adjust the action on a Jackson DK2S? It has a floyd rose double locking trem

  • fuck mannnnnn stop smacking plssssssssssssssssssssss....DA­MN!!!

  • This guy speaks so painfully slow.

  • guys please help me out? i have the Ibanez RG370DX with a EDGE III bridge, it sucks big time, it only have the bend the string upa nd it will go out of tune a bit, i want to change the EDGE III Ibanez bridge to a Black Original Floyd Rose bridge, it is possible? please reply :(

  • @cejason Yes it is. An OFR is an exact drop in replacement for an edge III

  • Nice Beat To Hell Guitar.. Nice Nice..

  • how do u restring and tune a floyd rose from standard to drop B?

  • @AshesOnFriday whoa whoa whoa, first of all. That's not a good idea. You'd have to adjust spring tension and string gauge... take caution...

  • I have the same guitar :)... But i dont own a whamy bar and my bottom part is different... I have the small tuning pegs and dont have those screws at the bottom... Still its an awesome guitar

  • @MmSizZLe97 hahahaha Dude then you obviously dont have the same guitar

  • this is a great tutorial. very detailed, great info, step-by-step. thank you!

  • Reminds me of Bill Lumbergh

  • wth happened to that guitar? did it survive a drug war or something? 0_o

  • One string snapped, proceeded in taking all the strings off.

    "Do one string at a time"

    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

  • @Jambo601165

    wahahaha it's the same i thought while changing mine 

  • @Jambo601165 FUUUUUUUUC* I took all the strings off too...

  • Dude,who are you kissing during this video? and how many times did you kissed?damn i can hear your lips smack!

  • i guess i have the only guitar with a floyd rose in the world that doesnt work right, no matter how many diffrent ways i change the strings or tune it, about 10 diffrent ways from 15 diffrent people no-one string will ever be in tune, and its a shame i spent 2400 on this beautiful carvin and it wont tune

  • @majmop did you set it up when you first got it, if you don,t take a bit of time to get it right it will not just fall out of tune but never seem to be in tune

  • I bought a used Jackson w/Floyd Rose in a pawn shop for $99...went to change strings and all them little blocks were broken...

    So, I just stuck the balls in the slot and since the screws had points on em they fit into the holes on the balls just fine...FYI :)

  • I totally fucked up my Jackson trying to change the strings. I should have watched this video first lol. Thanks for posting this.

  • Quit smacking your damn lips!

  • what is the tool called to loosen the locking nuts? i fken need one mines dont fit

  • @Violence1320 allen wrench? im not sure if im spelling allen right but thats how it sounds lol...yea allen wrench

  • doesn't looks that hard, i just need the righ equipaments.

  • WHAT WRONG WITH YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!!!

  • I know a floyd rose seams like a pain to tune but can you change tunings fast and easy, like from standard to drop c and then to Eb standard and to drop B. i like changing tunings alot and frequently

  • What the hell do you say 9's for when you are changing the low E and the high E is the 9 gauge. You are not telling the right info for the low E, like 48, 50, 52? Your OCD and lack of speaking ability is a bit much, but you get er done. One video should have been enough Mr. OCD.

  • this video is great, managed to change them first time in about 30 mins. No problem

  • i farted

  • with affection "2:56"

  • well, what do I do when my i have 6 month old elixers that feel brand new, but the rest of the fretboard and FR look like crap.

  • 4, 10 minute videos prove this thing is soo annoying to change the strings

  • Can I use that bridge on a x1000 epi

  • dammit i wish i got a guitar with a regular bridge this is way to goddam complicated

  • Thanks a lot! :)

  • not the first time you've done this with the guitar.... appears to be ur first time with the camera.. thanks though!

  • OK time to exchange my Floyd Rose system for something less engineered, like perhaps the friggen space shuttle.

  • lol i have the same cleaner as u! :D

  • holy shit stop saying uhhhhhhh. just get to the point! "so first were going to show you hot to lock the uhhhhhhhhhhhhh................­..........(long awkard pause) nut."

  • This thing is fucking annoying to tune

  • Nice! But what size allen wrench are you using?

  • @AJD7DC

    one that fits

  • Crap I cant change my strings, I dont have a remote :'(

  • NOW WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS UMM... *lip smack* FUCKIN'... FUCKIN' PISS JUST... ALL OVER THE FUCKIN UHHHH NECK AND JUST RUB THAT DOWN REAL GOOD

  • be careful u dont wanna bust a nut

  • Thx really helped me..

  • Thanks guy ;)

  • wouldn't be better if you check the intonation while you change each string?the string is soft(low tension) so you can adjust the litle "screws"(i don't how they are called in english) at the front of the floyd rose,with the alen?

  • so what were gonna do now is unlocking the......... nut

  • PUT A GUITAR HONEY ON YOUR FRET BOARD SO IT WONT BLAH BLAH BLAH IM HERE TO WATCH ON HOW TO CHANGE GUITAR STRING YOU PRICK!

  • YOU FUCKING TALK TO MUCH!!

  • i had removed all strings.....now i have a problem!

    Can you tell me how to tune it???pls help

  • yes, rub the gunk off from the old strings right into the fretboard... good one!

  • I've had a floyd rose LTd for almost a year and didnt know how to change the strings besides unlocking the neck bridge

  • thanks man this really helped :)

  • THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!

  • Most help full video for you guys out that have a guitar with a floyd on it, there's other ones where they make you do it the pain in the ass way.Good video guys.

  • lmfao.... smack smack samck

    every time you would end a word by dragging it out and lowering your voice volume i was like "oh god here it comes.."

  • omfg are you eating candy in this or something? *smack* *smack* *smack* really annoying.

  • cant you do this without clipping the ball end of the string? im just curious because i was told by someone that you can

  • @HippiesPwn yes you can I know a guy takes the ball end and puts it through headstock string winders

  • @serpentguitarman actually this is probably the easier way if the guitar has a Floyd Rose bridge.

  • @riffman911 Yeah, but that fretboard isn't even real wood, and if it is... it's thickly coated with a lacquer. What's the point in oiling a lacquered wood? What's the point of oiling fake wood? I oil my guitars (Hufschmid) because they aren't coated.

  • lol @ 3:45

  • Dude, this vid was good, but the lip smacking needs to be stopped. Other than that the vid was great!

  • @BoLTReFLeX

    Shouldn't have written that! xD ... Now I notissed and it's pissin' me of! ;P

  • Someone has cotton mouth.

  • he could have explained everything in one video...

  • Your mom keeps my fret board lubericated XD :49

  • Who the fuck lubes and polishes their guitar...? What the fuck...?

  • @JerridPayne people who want their guitars to look nice and clean

  • I said "thats what she said" so many times during this video...

  • @s7r1k30u7 michael scott?

  • What happens if you don't take em off one at a time o_O

  • @Protcall Nothing. It's a common misconception that the neck will go out of whack when you take all the strings off. That's what the truss rod is for, to keep the neck from warping. :p

  • omg this guy pauses wayyyyyy too much

  • omg his lip smacking is so annoying!! but his video is great :)

  • Thanks. Just bought my first guitar with an original floyd rose (Schecter blackjack atx c1 ooooh yeah) on it and I'm about to change the strings.

  • 0:42 lol

  • damnit all!!!! i don't like floyd rose anymore fuck this shit. I'm so frustrated

  • Hi, my friend managed to pull off all the strings at the same time, how do i make the bridge stay up again? i tried to put on some new strings and tune them but the bridge "down force" if you can call it that, is way to strong. Help!!!

  • @moonbeam1994 very easy to fix. take a flat metal object, like a spoon or something, and put it on both sides above the recessed cavity, and rest the fine-tuners of the trem on it (push the bar down and shove the object in place and let it drop on it.) then, tune the strings up. then remove the metal object.

    now if you pull the metal object out, and the trem drops off a bit, or if you find that it keeps tuning flat, then you need a setup by a tech, as your spring tension is off.

  • You sound like Leonard in The big bang theory XD

  • @Thehideby LOL!

  • Thank you. My light E-string just snapped, and I had absolutely no clue as to how to get my backup strings in place. Your video saved my day.

  • so, ummmm, uhhhh, *lip smack, umm uhh

  • Does anybody know how much it would cost to have your strings changed if you brought it to a store? (With a FR)

  • You sound like Andrew Wasson from Creative Guitar Studio

  • this has got to be the most painful video i've ever seen, jezzus get a fucking clue!

  • I am having problems with mine. For some odd reason when I tune my guitar to drop c the last two strings are popping off the floyd rose and I have evened out the tension too. I even did your little trick to string your guitar too and it still keeps popping off. I am using 10's and my 11's never gave me these kind of problems? D'addario strings are the brand also.

  • I' ve got the exact same guitar (not so ragged :D)... And I have just broke one of the small parts that presses the string... JEEEAHH

  • with my floyd rose 9gauge work good for standard, but if im keeping it in drop C then maybe i should use 11s??

  • where is part 4 ???????

  • what a dmf

  • soooo, uhhhh, so yeah umm *lip smack* so uhh

  • @TheChocorooms i watcehed this video every time i change strings and i can n o lon ger watch it because of this hilarious comment bring that to my actual attention XD

  • So glad i watched this, im considering getting a guitar with a floyd rose :). Then i saw that this was only part 1 of 4 and realized the ball ache im getting myself into.

  • Your lip smacking while talking is REALLY annoying by the way.

  • what gauge strings should i use for drop d??

  • @bradentheguitarist 10 - 52 Dude, Thicker, Tougher, Not as much fret buzz. Just my opinion though

  • @bradentheguitarist 13-70, real men play 20-92 sets but 13-70 would be a good start for you. Gets you a meatier tone.

  • @Beenyad

    A good start? hah

    dude ive been playing for like 4 years

    i was just looking for opinions

    i play on 10-52 have been for 2 years

  • @bradentheguitarist It was a joke bro. I actually do play 13-60, and I would recommend it. If you've been playing for 4 years you would know 20-92 is a joke. That's like putting bass strings on your guitar, which some people do but still...

  • @Beenyad

    I know that haha

    I was like "they dont even make 20-92..."

  • @bradentheguitarist They should...

  • he says to use a nine set, but i use 11s. i have to because i tune to Dropped C#. if i used a nine set my bridge would float all the way back

  • damit

  • at 4:46 he has like 10 winds around the low e

  • Comment removed

  • @SamyazaLovatt Loosen them?

  • cool, nice tutorial dude...just one thing...THAT GUITAR IS FREACKING FUCKED!!! what dide you do to your guitaar???

  • @Joker5844

    why? looks sweeet

  • I was wondering about tuning from standard tuning to drop d. I'm purchasing a Hellraiser c-1 next month and i can see that it locks in the tuning to one tuning (Standard, for example). I'm in a band and i have songs in drop d and standard. Will i be able to tune into drop d from standard? Thanks.

  • @jnl13961 Well to get in D tunning it's enough to play with the sensible tunners that stay on the bridge to send the E into D...for C tunning imho u'll have to refuck everything XD

  • @jnl13961

    you have to stick with one tuning. yes, of course you can have it in dropped d, but you cant change it very quickly. you have to unlock that string, tune it up to E or down to D (depending on how you were tuned) and then relock, and fine tune. those fine tuners wont take you a whole step from E to D.

  • @PoofPoofification Mine do

  • @jnl13961 Very easily, when you change, loosen the screw on the neck, use the machineheads to go to d or e, tighten the screw and use the fine tuners

  • @entwurfdreizehn hey, urm .. i think my guitar has a floyd rose tremolo but i'm quiet confuse here because there are no "screw on the neck" of my guitar .. is it a floyd rose tremolo .. ? can u give me some advice on it .. ? and another one is on my "i think" floyd rose guitar, and the end of the bridge, there are no such screw attach to it .. the one that suppose to be adjusted the tune of the guitar .. well , seriously i don't know how to explain it, but i do need an advice .. thanks mate ..!!

  • @punai33 Dude. Your guitar has a vintage tremelo. It ain't a Floyd Rose setup. :|

  • @punai33 Check the bridge on it if it's a floyd rose it should have floyd rose written on the part that sinks into the body
