He said in an interview that he "oiled the nut"...Rudy Leiren his first guitar technician does not recall that he used oil or graphite (pencil shavings). I've tried pencil shavings,but haven't noticed a difference. The main key to keeping a standard strat tremolo in tune is to pull up on the bar after you dive-it puts the strings back in tune every time. Bridge must be set up to float. This is what he said at the time and I've found this is the key.He used a brass nut with exra wide grooves too.
This is amazing footage...he is having problems with his fluency now...In my opinion,he is suffering from the same arthritis that ended his father's playing career.This is a reminder of what he was-the idea of doing an unaccompanied lead guitar solo comes from Page's "Heartbreaker", but Edward ran with the ball that Page tossed him!

I'm sure that he stopped turning around far before the 1st record came out. Actually, Dave has brown hair on the first album photo. It's probably right around the same time.
Legend !

This looks like it's prior to the 1st Album. David seems to have brown hair in the beginning.

...hm.. yeah, but if it was prior to the 1st album, wouldn't he have turned around for the tapping part?
