ei ciao, grandissimo hai finalmente risolto un problema di tutti i chitarristi =) vorrei solo chiederti come limitare le scordature dovute ai bending, durante un lungo assolo è difficile usare sempre così la leva, ti ringrazio =)
I am curious how to keep the guitar in tune when soloing after doing this. My whammy bar no longer throws the guitar out of tune thanks to this trick, but when pulling normal string bends during a solo, the G, B and E strings fall out of tune quite easily. Although pressing the whammy gets them back in tune, the solo sounds off. Any suggestions?
@GodinChild You can follow the tips I gave in the other series of 5 videos but this is a NON problem. Everybody did that in the past just watch what every great player of the past did at the end of each solo and that's all ;)
Holy hell. When you push the whammy bar down and the guitar went back in tune, that was like a magic trick. One question: When putting on strings, how many windings do you make around the tuner? Many? Few?
@SixStringHarmonies Holy crap! This really does the trick! Wow! I've seen something similar to this before, the detail they always missed is making sure the strings are settled and rested well in the pegs, behind the nut, and in the saddles. This isn't perfect, but it took a tremolo equipped PRS guitar I was ready to throw out the window, and makes it useable for more than one song in a row! Thank you for the DETAILS!!
Hey your videos are all fantastic! They are really educative. I am working with two diy guitar projets so I really respect that you share your knowledge.
My Strat still has a little bit of a problem with tuning. It's much better, though. It's not going a full step down when I hit the tremolo bar anymore. Thanks for the video.
Wow, I'm blown away. I was skeptical at first, but this worked perfect on my strat. I play a lot of blues and country, so I'm bending quite a bit. When I bent the strings out of tune, depressed the tremolo, then played a perfectly in tune chord, my jaw dropped. Thanks so much for this!
I don't understand how this works, but Jesus I tried it on a synchronized-tremolo fender and... Now I am not able to go out of tune, no matter how hard I torment my whammy bar! Thank you so much!I finally get Yngwie now, when he said "I don't understand why you have to put a fucking floyd rose on it" =)
@guitarmasteryeah even Yngwies strat goes out of tune every now and then(I've got a live Yngwie dvd and after each song he has to re-tune his guitar) people use a Floyd Rose mainly for the added versatility (with a Floyd rose u can raise the pitch 2 1/2 octaves u cant on a strat and also you cant do dive bombs on a vintage tremolo because the strings slide in and out the string saddles)
I have a vintage squire strat. I bought the strat with the bridge laying flat, not floating. I just changed the strings and, without paying any attention, when I was finished I realized that i didn't give the strings enough slack and now the bridge is floating! This doesn't really bother me that much except for the fact that it is really difficult to keep the damn thing in tune! I've been pulling on the strings on the headstock, kneck, and bridge. Any advice?
@illnastic YEs first I have a video on how to fix a strat floating bridge in this channel: Secondly if you want the tremolo to be laying flat on the guitar remove the backplate, tighten the springs screw (USE A PERFECTLY FITTING SCREDRIVER) and retune. DO this until the guitar is tuned having the bridge laying flat .
Yea, I just did that and it worked great. I realized that it had nothing to do with how I strung the guitar but rather the fact that I changed gauges which automatically affects the position of the tremolo bridge. Nevertheless, I still have more tension in my strings than usual maybe because Im just not used to these strings or something. Have you written any books yet? Im watching your video on heigh action, very informative! Saludos desde Mexico!
I can't get the low EAD strings to stay in tune while doing your method of pushing the bar and tuning. They always go a little sharp no matter how many times I repeat the process.
another thing I found was the holes for the string looking down through the top of the tremola were drilled too wide and this allows the ball or little wheel to slip through the hole when you bend a note and catch, so your note goes flat, you can hit the wammy and it will dislodge but if you use fender super bullets you eliminate this, the bullet is too big too go anywhere, tuning problems solved, but if you break a string you can"t buy singles
how about trem pull ups? is it working the other way? I heard some guitar players that pull up the trem arm to restablish strings tension after getting out of tune
My first guitar was a squire strat in 1987. Couldnt afford a floyd instalation. SO, before i had a graphite nut installed,i boiled the strings ,oiled the nut, and made sure the ball end of the string would turn freely as i wound the string. Then before coming to full tune, i would dump the tremolo to get any excess wind twist out. Also my string tree was removed. When i had my graphite nut made, i had the guy cut it smaller and make the string grooves real shallow. Stayed in tune.
I had a spare Squier Strat which I gave to my brother, but it was living hell to get it in tune. Thanks to this vid it is always dead on in tune and I can whammy like crazy. Best guitar vid I have ever seen!
Thank you very much. I did this on a Squier Strat and it actually works! Incredible! This information you've shared is worth so much. I did everything you said and it worked. I have sold Strat's in the past because I couldn't figure out how to keep the damn thing in tune. I think its time for another one! Thank you again.
I have been stretching my new strings for years but I never realized the application of these principles could be used to stabilize my tremolo action. It seems like you may have stumbled onto a trade secret that the pros keep to themselves or maybe its their techs that keep it to themselves. I will make excellent use of this video and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking the time to record and post it. ~ADR~
I find it with this way of setting up it makes it easier to go out of tune when bending strings. Almost every 1step bend it gets it out of tune a bit, sure diving the trem does get it back in tune but its not something i want to do after every bend. Is everyone else having this problem while bending?
If you really want to know how to use your vintage strat tremolo in a effective manner, without tunning problems, in a more direct approach, try watching Carl Verheyen's video called "Whammy Bar Setup Secrets".
how about to fix a dragging strings from the fret? can any one show me how to fix this.?. i want to lower my strings but it drag on the frets. it muting the sound.. :( help me please.. because im going to use this kind of guitar on wednesday at the church.. thanks for u kind..
@FruduaTv if i lowered the strings height it start buzzing.. i just can figure what exactly is needed to fix it right and low strings.. how can i repair my relic strat with out paying bills?.. i want the string lower.. tnx
Great video and thank you so much. I have one question. I know this video was posted a few years ago but hopefully you are still "tuned in". When you backed off on the trem claw screws, was that only temporary to perform this process of tuning? Would you recommend re-tightening the screws afterwards, or is it fine to leave the tremolo floating? I currently have mine floating at around Fender spec, but my luthier seems to prefer having them "decked" on strats with vintage tremolos.
@dsydorko This is up to you and how you want to use the tremolo. Of course the floating tremolo choice has some marginal notes. I am preparing a video these days on this matter. Stay tuned.
I can't keep my Strat in tune even when I block the bridge. But it sounds so good I still love it.
I have a Jem and I block the bridge on it at well, and with the locking nut the thing stays in tune for months at a time. Seriously! But it doesn't sound as good as the start IMHO.
This is a great info video. I play a lot of American made Strats and I basically just made it a habit to tune after every single song. Now that you have shared your knowledge with this video, I have been able to keep my Strats in tune even after hours of play. Thank you so much and thank GOD for Youtube!
Great video,Galerto.Really helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share this.May I ask which electronic tuner you are using and what sort of amplifier as the guitar sounds great through it. Very transparent sound.
Awsome, just got a strat and was killing myself with the intonation and tuning. Tuned and worked like a charm. Noticed it still stuck out of tune a numerous times and had to bend to get it back. Is that normal, I mean for a brand new guitar?
@EMGlespaulMESA Yeah, but this actually works. So if you want single-coil pick-ups with no draw-backs, do this. And Gibsons get the weight distribution wrong on their guitars...
@McFro95 truth is i was half trolling, i actually have an american strat from 2000. i mostly play heavy stuff, but there are some types of music where a strat cant be beat. but for my repatuare thats about 20% of music that I play. so itake the great with the bad and using an epiphone les paul prophecy. and an esp eclipse 1000 all satin black. obv they are just les paul knockoffs. but the epi nails the feel of an lp. heavy wide body, locked bridge ect.
@FruduaTv Thx for the recomendation. i dont mean to be a snot, but i only buy guitars with an eboyn fretboard. my esp was a ltd deluxe limeted edition all satin with an ebony fretboard. and my epi has a stained ebony fretboard. i did not know that when i bought it tho. i found out afterwards.
I try to tune my guitar to Drop D but the bridge keeps rising and the guitar keeps getting out of tune, I've almost screwed the backscrews in completely. What should I do? I use a Ibanez RGD320 with 9-42's
I only have one problem.. All of my strings are half a step en some a whole step detuned after just one bend. What could be the problem ( I have a Ibanez grx70)
you are the best man, very helpful video. Do you now how to understand that the fingerboard is curved, and how to fix it without damage it? Thanx a lot
Great video! This has worked on all my strats except one! My Fender American Deluxe with 2 point trem is rock solid except for the bottom E string! It goes sharp very sharp almost a semitone up! When I tug gently by the saddle it either goes in tune or goes very flat. I replaced the nut with a graphtech it has sperzels so it must be the saddle I think. I'm on the point of getting a Wilkinson as it's driving me crazy! Can you help suggest a solution as I can't find the problem? Grazie Mille!
@FruduaTv Yes it does, the rest of the strings are fine but this one. All my other strats respond to your method perfectly but they have traditional fender trems. I thought 2 point trems were more stable? I've used nut sauce,graphite,changing gauges,floating,non floating,deassembling then reassembling and paid for two set ups. I've tried everything! It still goes sharp! I'm stumped!
@TheGubernot It's impossible. Just repeat the procedure correctly you're simply missing to do something about it on that low E. Watch the video carefully again and again and repeat every step carefully. It will work.
@UkeOfEarl Well I do like people! I really LOVE the rainsing of different opinions. There is something that fascinates and EXCITES me at no end in the fact that here, everyone can have, SHOW and state his own opinion freely, no matter what this opinion is based on. It's a long matter to explain but this is basilcally my thought :)
@FruduaTv ciao! volevo chiederti se questa procedura può essere applicata per una squier by fender e se il meccanismo della barra si può SEMPRE tenere in questo modo, facendo attenzione all' accordatura!
I got a question to everyone out there, why does this happen?. Why does it go out of tune and then it snaps back in tune when you dip the bar?. Is there a way you can make a trem work with bending and diving without having to dip the bar to get it in tune?. will a roller nit help?, are the strings hitching somewhere?.
can this be a solvable problem without using a locking system?
Frudua man this is fantastic stuff! Thank you so much man.
I used the Carl Verheyen method with intervalic floating tremolo tuning, and applied this little advices of yours and I never had tuning problems since! THANK YOU
@34210marco ok thanks dude i already did it but i have another problem y know that this is for the problem i have that my tremolo if i use it my guitar get out of tune
@punk434 I don't know man, mine does the same thing and i have the bridge is parallel to the body... I don't have a fender and i have locking nuts but it still goes out of tune so I have no idea my friend, sorry.
this is completly usless aT THE BEGINING HE SAYS ITS PERFECT TUNING STRATEGY AND THEN AT 7:10 HE COMES BACK WITH THIS CRAp about how it wont play in tune in a solo and you need to bend wang bar to get it back in tune. this is instable and inpracticle. i set my guitar up with oil and four middle screws raised a few miilimeters with oils in tremblock nut and string trees and the tones great and it doesnt go outa tune. you espeshaly dont have to go bending arms to get it i tune
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the community, these are really great tips which I've never come cross in 30 year of playing and guitar tweaking. I really don't understand how anyone can dislike these informative videos?!?!

Great video and thank you so much. I have one question. I know this video was posted a few years ago but hopefully you are still "tuned in". When you backed off on the trem claw screws, was that only temporary to perform this process of tuning? Would you recommend re-tightening the screws afterwards, or is it fine to leave the tremolo floating? I currently have mine floating at around Fender spec, but my luthier seems to prefer having them "decked" on strats with vintage tremolos.

@dsydorko This is up to you and how you want to use the tremolo. Of course the floating tremolo choice has some marginal notes. I am preparing a video these days on this matter. Stay tuned.

I can't keep my Strat in tune even when I block the bridge. But it sounds so good I still love it.
I have a Jem and I block the bridge on it at well, and with the locking nut the thing stays in tune for months at a time. Seriously! But it doesn't sound as good as the start IMHO.

Sir, Frudua
This is a great info video. I play a lot of American made Strats and I basically just made it a habit to tune after every single song. Now that you have shared your knowledge with this video, I have been able to keep my Strats in tune even after hours of play. Thank you so much and thank GOD for Youtube!

Great video,Galerto.Really helpful. Thank you for taking the time to share this.May I ask which electronic tuner you are using and what sort of amplifier as the guitar sounds great through it. Very transparent sound.

Awsome, just got a strat and was killing myself with the intonation and tuning. Tuned and worked like a charm. Noticed it still stuck out of tune a numerous times and had to bend to get it back. Is that normal, I mean for a brand new guitar?

the best way to keep your strat in tune is to get a gibson
EMGlespaulMESA 5 months ago
@EMGlespaulMESA Yeah, but this actually works. So if you want single-coil pick-ups with no draw-backs, do this. And Gibsons get the weight distribution wrong on their guitars...
McFro95 5 months ago
@McFro95 truth is i was half trolling, i actually have an american strat from 2000. i mostly play heavy stuff, but there are some types of music where a strat cant be beat. but for my repatuare thats about 20% of music that I play. so itake the great with the bad and using an epiphone les paul prophecy. and an esp eclipse 1000 all satin black. obv they are just les paul knockoffs. but the epi nails the feel of an lp. heavy wide body, locked bridge ect.

@FruduaTv Thx for the recomendation. i dont mean to be a snot, but i only buy guitars with an eboyn fretboard. my esp was a ltd deluxe limeted edition all satin with an ebony fretboard. and my epi has a stained ebony fretboard. i did not know that when i bought it tho. i found out afterwards.

I try to tune my guitar to Drop D but the bridge keeps rising and the guitar keeps getting out of tune, I've almost screwed the backscrews in completely. What should I do? I use a Ibanez RGD320 with 9-42's

Great video! This has worked on all my strats except one! My Fender American Deluxe with 2 point trem is rock solid except for the bottom E string! It goes sharp very sharp almost a semitone up! When I tug gently by the saddle it either goes in tune or goes very flat. I replaced the nut with a graphtech it has sperzels so it must be the saddle I think. I'm on the point of getting a Wilkinson as it's driving me crazy! Can you help suggest a solution as I can't find the problem? Grazie Mille!

@TheGubernot You mean you tried this video suggestions and the low E still go sharp when you dive on the wammy?
FruduaTv 5 months ago
@FruduaTv Yes it does, the rest of the strings are fine but this one. All my other strats respond to your method perfectly but they have traditional fender trems. I thought 2 point trems were more stable? I've used nut sauce,graphite,changing gauges,floating,non floating,deassembling then reassembling and paid for two set ups. I've tried everything! It still goes sharp! I'm stumped!
TheGubernot 5 months ago
@TheGubernot It's impossible. Just repeat the procedure correctly you're simply missing to do something about it on that low E. Watch the video carefully again and again and repeat every step carefully. It will work.

@UkeOfEarl Well I do like people! I really LOVE the rainsing of different opinions. There is something that fascinates and EXCITES me at no end in the fact that here, everyone can have, SHOW and state his own opinion freely, no matter what this opinion is based on. It's a long matter to explain but this is basilcally my thought :)

@FruduaTv ciao! volevo chiederti se questa procedura può essere applicata per una squier by fender e se il meccanismo della barra si può SEMPRE tenere in questo modo, facendo attenzione all' accordatura!
grazie in anticipo e complimenti per le chitarre!

I got a question to everyone out there, why does this happen?. Why does it go out of tune and then it snaps back in tune when you dip the bar?. Is there a way you can make a trem work with bending and diving without having to dip the bar to get it in tune?. will a roller nit help?, are the strings hitching somewhere?.
can this be a solvable problem without using a locking system?

I used the Carl Verheyen method with intervalic floating tremolo tuning, and applied this little advices of yours and I never had tuning problems since! THANK YOU

@punk434 I don't know man, mine does the same thing and i have the bridge is parallel to the body... I don't have a fender and i have locking nuts but it still goes out of tune so I have no idea my friend, sorry.

this is completly usless aT THE BEGINING HE SAYS ITS PERFECT TUNING STRATEGY AND THEN AT 7:10 HE COMES BACK WITH THIS CRAp about how it wont play in tune in a solo and you need to bend wang bar to get it back in tune. this is instable and inpracticle. i set my guitar up with oil and four middle screws raised a few miilimeters with oils in tremblock nut and string trees and the tones great and it doesnt go outa tune. you espeshaly dont have to go bending arms to get it i tune
