  • 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 ;)

  • does this works on the SX Strat copy?

  • @setapartkid Yes if it has a strat style tremolo.

  • does this have to be done each time the strings are changed?

  • @theminpoes No if you just change the with identical ones (brand and gauge)

  • 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" =)

  • THIS IS MAGIC ! HOW THE FUCK DID THIS HAPPEN IF HENDRIX KNEW THIS MAYBE HE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD T TUNE BETWEEN SONGS! HAHA

  • Lubricating all the contact points along the strings also helps. On my Strat I use automotive lubricant that has molybdenum disulfide in it, which is used in the rebuilding of an engine before first startup, so it's extremely slippery. I lubricate the nut slots, the string tree, and saddle contact points, along with using Grover mini-locking tuners. I never have a problem staying in tune, even with heavy trem use.

  • WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON !? I GUESS THIS GUY CAN MAGIC...

  • Amazing

    WIll this work on a Modern two-point tremolo ?

  • 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 =)

  • @GodinChild a little pencil graphite in the grooves of the nut may help

  • I yet don't understnd. If the guitar goes out of tune, you push the tremolo with your arm? Or are you just twisting the wood?

  • @FruduaTv can you name some, id like to check that out

  • AWesome man, fucking awesome.

  • @thejeffharter Look at the end of this video.
