    Basically if a guitar hasn't been modified at all (just like this one I used) you got some flat notes if you bend hard. If you modify the guitar in various way (subject of a next video) you solve even this problem and your guitar is perfect. Glad to know you liked it.

      How can you keep it from going out of tune when doing big bends? I notice when I do big bends in particular on the G string seems to be the biggest problem, I would like to do big bends and not have to dive the bar to bring it back to pitch.

    • @Andreorsel
      @Andreorsel Před rokem

      @@cecilmusick8629 , it is always a compromis. Either you will get out of tune using the bar or when doing bends.
      If you have tuned the guitar and do a bend om the G string it will be low afterwards. When u use the tuner on your guitar now to get it in tune again it will stay in tune after bending, but when you now use the whammy bar (downwards) it will be to high in pitch afterwards.
      And it still remains a mystery why it is mostely the G string that is affected.
      The Floyd rose system is the best for staying in tune using the bar and bends.
      The VegaTrem also seems to do that and it is very easy to install.

    i was shown this way of keeping the strat vibrato in tune back in 1975 by non other than Heart guitarist Roger Fisher when they were still a bar band.
    he goes,watch this, and roughs up his strat to go way out of tune.
    then as he's letting a chord ring, hits the whammy bar one time and it instantly
    snaps back in tune.......wow.......it was completely magical.
    i've used this tuning method ever since. absolutely works like a charm.

I got frustrated so I blocked my bridge. Then I saw this video, made me realize that I did the right thing before, yes it did stay in tune. I might float my bridge again. Thank you for the video

  • @matt_glista
    @matt_glista Před 11 lety +7

    Actually, you can. The trick is to setup the guitar so that pulling up, instead of pushing down, on the trem will bring the strings back to the right tension. If you balance the trem block so that it's floating at the right height and you're getting the right intervals when whammying upwards (see Carl Verheyen's method), your tuning will be remarkably stable through bends and whammies in both direction.

  • @godderis
    @godderis Před 10 lety +41

    this totally works, but be careful: i used to have very little problems with a string going out of tune after bending it, and after using this method my strings go flat instantly.
    so if you play a lot of bends i advise you to stay away from this technique. to me the advantage of being able to do crazy whammy stuff doesn't compensate the loss of being able to do bends...

    • @infectionsman
      @infectionsman Před 4 lety +5

      Whenever the string goes flat after bending, you just do a dive and voila it is back in pitch. You dont have to make any noise if playing live, you can dive it silently. Just remember to never tune a string up in pitch unless you have done 1 or 2 dives first and the string is still flat.

    • @infectionsman
      @infectionsman Před 3 lety +2

      @l o l If you set your trem up to float then there is two possible setups:
      1. dive the bar and tune after: this way it will go flat with bends but return with dives.
      2. Bend it and keep tuning up: but then it will go sharp if you touch the trem.
      But if you prefer bends to stay in tune, it is much better to just block the trem completely and remove the arm instead.

  • @matt_glista
    @matt_glista Před 11 lety +7

    Important suggestion:
    Although this is a great technique, it's way more beneficial to setup your Strat to tune itself when you pull UP on a floating tremolo, as opposed to pushing down. Pushing down relaxes the strings, making them far more susceptible to detuning from harsh bends. Pulling up, on the other hand, pre-stretches them and they'll resist detuning from bends a LOT better. Overall, though, it's most beneficial to spend time balancing the block and floating it at the proper height.

    I have been playing guitar for 41 years and most of it as a professional musician. But no one had ever informed me about these tips. They work, there is no doubt about it. Obviously if you use the tremolo for dive bombs all the times, you are bound to go slightly out of tune, but without employing those tips, the guitar would go just so wildly off, it would be just useless. Now I do my little ritual every day, before playing, and hey presto! A playable guitar; can do all that Jeff Beck-style runs using the tremolo as a melodic device, and the guitar stays mostly and for most of the time in tune. Thanks for that, Galeazzo! Grazie mille e vai alla grande....

  • @rafaelzengo5534
    @rafaelzengo5534 Před 5 lety +7

    Much simpler: stretch the hell out of the strings BEFORE tuning, make sure all points of friction are stable, at the most stretched point. Always leave the last wrap around the tuning peg above the others to reduce the angle, and dont use many turns, 3 is enough. Always tune UP to pitch, never down to pitch. Doing this I can bend and use the tremolo with very good results. Dont expect your strat to be perfectly in tune, it never will, but the variation in tuning can be kept to a minimum even if you play some risky chords.
    This is for MODERATE whammy bar use. Even EVH didnt do complete dive bombs that set the strings all floppy. The dive at the end of eruption is big, but not a complete strings-falling-from-guitar kind of thing.
    If you wanna go beserk, just get a locking nut and call it a day.

    Just for the heads up. I think this applies to every guitar with a vintage tremolo.
    Read on!
    I have this Red Special replica from Harley Benton. (Vintage floating tremolo)
    I've installed a roller nut, trem stabilizer, locking tuners, better springs and a schaller sure claw.
    Still the strings went down after bends, tweaking the trem arm brought them to pitch again.
    After looking and looking for info about a possible solution someone suggested to lube the block slots. Which I agreed were the last possible friction points.
    So I've put some teflon based nut lube on each block string slot making sure the balls are full of it and VOILA!!! problem fixed!!

    • @EPV7th
      @EPV7th Před 7 lety

      Did you put some lube on the ball of the string? I have this same problem on my malmsteen signature, on the low E. After bend the note goes flat and with the trem arm goes in tune again.

    • @SaccoBelmonte
      @SaccoBelmonte Před 7 lety

      I lubed the chamber from the bottom and from the saddle. But bridges are all different so...
      I guess the best is to lube the ball end and the hook part.of the string to make sure.
      After putting some lubricant I just tweaked the tremolo and bent the strings several times until they didn't have that problem. It still happens tho, but really minimized.
      I used GEWA teflon, not graphite.
      I'm changing the block on this tremolo anyway, I already bought it. The tremolo that came with it is what they call an "Import tremolo" from South Korea (SUNG IL) and the block is a joke, with big chambers all through instead of a good solid block.
      If that is your case you can buy a block from guitarfetish.com

      It works with bends too. When you do big bends the strings will go flat, just do a quick dive and they will return to pitch. Just make sure you always dive once or twice before attempting to tune a flat string, otherwise it will go sharp the next time you do a dive.

Float the trem and string/tune and stretch the strings fully, which gets rid of that slop. Make sure bends stay in tune and then get the trem right. It works MUCH better than this.

      +Steph N i find i can regain tuning by simply pressing on the offending string behind the nut with the left hand , easy to hide/disguise when playing open cords down there....seriously people this is the best method if you have vintage style trems, lets face is floyds are fool proof but come with there own set of problems and good god do they ever look goofy ...thank you Fruada....you truely are a wizard among techs....i have yet to find ANYONE on youtube (or anywhere else freely giving away his secrets too boot....you should write a book....this trick alone would be an easy chapter and worth the cover price alone...

      If you do it right, no need to have to go behind the nut. This is the WORST method. I like to play rock, blues, country...all styles require string bends. My method, eliminates having to pull a string behind the nut, and I bend like crazy and use the bar, when I set it up, it's as close to operating like a Floyd as you can get, but without the hassles of a locking/wrenches. Fenders way is better than this video shown here!!!! Horrible!

      +Chi Chi Rodriguez there is Only one problem! if you can get it back in tune by pressing string behind the nut then the nut is grabbing the string and is improperly cut

      If you tune it and setup right, it will come back to tune when you depress the bar or pull up WITHOUT having to re-bend the string. Where I find most people mess up, is how they string and tune it. I set up folks guitars for a living and this is an awful way to do it. You don't usually have time to rebend a string in a song, to get it back in tune, especially if you have to press behind the nut, lol. That''d be lame to have to do that.

    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~

    Ho appena comprato una strato highway perchè a 36 anni suonati mi è tornata voglia di metterci le mani e ho risolto i problemi di intonazione - oltre che seguendo i tuoi consigli... ;-) - con dell'olio da macchine per cucire in capotasto, altrimenti non c'era proprio verso di sistemare la corda del sol, appena sfioranto il tremolo sentivo PLING! e la corda si incastrava... Adesso è perfetta!!!

    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 have been using floating bridge guitars for over 20 years. I recently bought a Fender American Deluxe MSM to have a guitar different from the ones I already had ... I do not know the parameter where you live, but in Brazil, it's an expensive guitar. Until I reviewed your video I thought I had made the worst purchase of my life, an expensive guitar that was never tuned properly ... until I remembered your video on CZcams! I had seen your video years ago, just out of curiosity, and even doubted the effectiveness of this method, but when buying a Fender with Vintage Tremolo, curiosity became a necessity. Many, many thanks for the post! For those who are in doubt: IT REALLY WORKS !!!

    Brilliant!!! That is incredible. I had terrible problems with my Squeir Bullet Strat keeping it in tune. I thought it was just the cheap build qualities of the instrument, I was concidering fitting a more expensive system. I tried your method and what a difference it makes. It stays in tune just as you explain.
    I'd never have fugured that out in a million years.
    Thanks so much for posting that my friend.
    I will most surely be telling my fellow guitarists about this tuning method.
