How to Make the Guitar Bar by TIAT

Special Info Link: http://igkt.net/sm/index.php?topic=1689.msg11538#msg11538

The Guitar Bar is so named because of its visual similarity to the neck and frets of a guitar. Sturdy and attractive, the bar has a less than obvious start; still the attached video should help you along to understanding its construction. Knot and video by JD of Tying It All Together.

What type of material is he using? That's definitely not 550 cord. Thanks.

[TyingItAllTogether]

@1937Me1 - It's 1/4 inch solid braid nylon

[cryoshell666]

what length of braided nylon would you suggest for this knot?

[TyingItAllTogether]

@cryoshell666 - depends on how long you want your strap to be. Follow this general rule... See 0:44

you could start it on a nice piece of leather rather than line perhaps finish it on leather i will try it in the future and see how its goes

[TyingItAllTogether]

That's a good idea too.

i tried doing this with paracord and it didnt look as nice ... reason ????

[xXvikingwargodXx]

So using 550 paracord and THREE pieces rather than two, to make a 36 inch band I would need the long one to be around fifty-four feet right?

You are a master at your craft and an amazing teacher. Keep up the fantastic work :) (y)

So basically ur just doing forward knots flipping it over then more forward knots cool seems simple enough

My daughter and I are so adicted to this stuff. I purchased a bunch of 550 cord from the military surplus store last weekend and I have made 7 bracelets thus far. This is the last thing that I do before going to bed. I love it!

[JayOhEnEnWhyEx]

I want to try this with leather lace and 3 strips of rope instead of 2 and hopefully be able to make it into a bracelet. Thanks for your great video JD, you inspired me to start trying some of these knots on y own.

I think I'll be making a new belt very soon...
