Damn thank you! I had to tune my les Paul every 5 mins but after using this method I haven't tuned my guitar for days and I am surprised that it's in perfect tune. Even the G string is behaving itself!

Thanks a lot! Glad being of help to you all!

@yetimatzenightcat8702 2 года назад

that's exactly how I learned it as a little boy. all these years i never had any tuning problems with my guitars 👏👏👏👏 Big Cinema ❤

@rcolard 12 лет назад

You are too good! My guitar used to buzz a little, my temolo would knock it out of tune, and when I would bend it would get out of tune. But now I have a perfectly set-up guitar and I can use my tremolo as hard as I want! Thanks a lot! You have changed my life!

@taxman1120s 12 лет назад

As a beginning/intermediate guitarist I was spending way to much time tuning my guitar, With your instruction now I know all the things I was missing and it make so much sense!!! Thank you!!!

What I love about your videos is how extrmely thoroughly you explain things Thank you so much for your videos i watch them all, all of the time!!! Thanks Yan Hui

@superbolli 14 лет назад

you're videos are very good and informative. You teach us a lot of things that other people don't. I learned a lot of from watching this that I will try out on my Les Paul when changing strings next time. Thanks

@TheBeatlesVocalHarmony 11 лет назад

Very good Pierre!

@chrisflash666 14 лет назад

Thank you for all the great tips! I have been playing for years and this has shown me some things about stringing I never knew!

@swindass 11 лет назад

Nice job, I been playing for years and still learned something, thank you.

@NMranchhand 6 лет назад

Great detail. Well done; thanks.

Thanks for your videos Mr. Frudula! Even with the Italian accent, you are still much easier to understand and follow than most videos I've seen on here. True Professionalism.

@seanachiescourt6659 5 лет назад

stretching the strings is the most important thing yes... your videos are awsome and very helpful! thank you =)

@alexismmef 14 лет назад

I´ve been searching the internet for this kind of information for months! Thank you man, very good!! May I suggest you teaching how to clean the dirty from the fretboard?

@TheJasonmoretti 10 лет назад

thanx... excellent..I always asked myself why or what I may be doing as Im doing it (ie changing strings and tuning)) and if it was helpful or harmful.... its great to have a very clear reasonable explaination as to why some things are wrong...Been playing 24 years and this is the best info Ive gotten in years... Ill be watching every video ...

@z3r0sh1ft Just follow my video on How to tune a guitar with a fixed bridge.

@brianpatrick6102 9 лет назад

Thank you for all the information that you share. Ive learned quite alot from your videos. Could you please make a video that shows a complete setup for Gibson LesPaul/SG style guitars? Thanks so much!!!

@angelzombich 11 лет назад

Wow it really works!! Thnx a lot

@FruduaTv 14 лет назад

@blueheartguitarist I thinkn htere are already plenty of videos showing this. Search something like "intonation of octaves"

@FruduaTv 14 лет назад

@gjm1971 Thank you. In a few days it should.

@FruduaTv 14 лет назад

@dieandgoaway . good question. Everything else being the same (diameter of strings/pitch,etc) the length of the portion of strings beyond the saddles does not have any influence on the tone. The first angle (from saddel to baseplate) though influences the "feel" you have on the fretboard but this mainly happens on the nut side and on bendings.

@FruduaTv 14 лет назад

Thanks to you Yan ;)

@FruduaTv 13 лет назад

@augie150 NOt sure what you mean caould you explain better? Send a detailed PM

@fruduadirectdeal 13 лет назад

@TechnicalFreak The one I used for this video I do not remember what it was it was from a friend of mine. Sorry. I'll get informed.

@FruduaTv 11 лет назад

You're welcome ;)

@FruduaTv 12 лет назад

Graphite and derivate are good when you have a tremolo on a guitar and you mean to use it. Sound is also good even if nothing IMO beats bone and a good well made bone nut made by a pro, can compare to graphite in allowing tremolo performace.

@pupwinder 13 лет назад

Great video. Following these procedures really does stabilize tuning much better than just "tuning up" alone. Looking forward to your intonation video and hoping it will address that finicky B string. I flat the B ever so slightly for better tuning (to my ears) up/down the fretboard but it always "creeps" up and requires constant tweaking to keep it slightly flatted. Any advice to remedy this situation?

@FruduaTv 14 лет назад

@dieandgoaway A fixed bridge. Twisting the strings damage them (especially on a bass) and also the portion of strings which is not playing deosn't have any importance on tensionexcept for the "sensation" we perceive near the torsion on bendings and picking

@jalan6473 10 лет назад

Do You cover bridge intonation? Also do you instruct on setting up wraparound type bridges such as on Les Paul Juniors and PRS Guitars?

@FruduaTv 13 лет назад

@fruduadirectdeal Yes If I understand what you mean.

@REX-007 7 лет назад

Hi Galeazzo, I just installed polyweb coated strings. Do you think stretching them can damage the coating? Thanks for all your videos.

@keithsa41 12 лет назад

Mr. Frudua, what is your thoughts on graphite nuts? Do you suggest them as well as graphite saddles?

@pupwinder 13 лет назад

@fruduadirectdeal You would think so, since the rest of the strings seem to. I find the flatting of the B strings somewhat "necessary" for the A and F#7 forms, especially as you move up the neck. The offset is slight, but the impact seems dramatic. I was thinking there might be a way to account for it via intonation. Anyway, I look forward to your intonation video. Any other thoughts would be much appreciated. Either way,Thanks for the reply.

@FruduaTv thx

@soapboxearth2 11 лет назад

to keep the value of the guitar for resale you should find a vintage gibson ABR1 on ebay, or if you want a new one , check out tone pros.

@fruduadirectdeal 13 лет назад

@pupwinder It should fix itself to a given tuning while strecthed... no?

@Alexhangman 4 года назад

So if i do all those things but my guitar is out of tune every minute anyway, what can it be?

@gdshitski 11 лет назад

bridge setup question: Should the stopbar-tailpiece bridge be screwed down as low as possible so it sits on the guitar top? Or should I raise is a little so the string clears the hole cleanly?

@crafael. 11 лет назад

Sir, what is the fixed bridge brand and model that you can suggest for my 1956 Gibson Les Paul? Really appreciate your professional recommendation. [Malaysia]

@TheBhannah 12 лет назад

it is also important to show the string winding

@carlafg1 12 лет назад

If we change the string gauge, is it always necessary to adjust the truss rod?

@dieandgoaway 14 лет назад

what is better a string thru bridge or fixed bridge?

@z3r0sh1ft 13 лет назад

Hey man! I'm having trouble on my Copy Les Paul. Gibson said that an angled headstock improves sustain. I've done something on the past. I just raised the action and I loved the sustain. But because of too much string angle. It doesn't stay in tune. It gets back after when I do the neck bending technique or it gets complicated if I tune it on the headstock. Any ideas how to fix this?

@wickedgit 12 лет назад

I have a les paul and my G string will always go out of tune,why? even when I already stretch the strings. Do I have to change the g string and make more wraps on the stringpost or it is some problem with the tuner?

@doubletakevapes5076 9 лет назад

Hello, I have a Gibson Epoch it has really no way to adjust the intonation on this bridge HELP....

@augie150 13 лет назад

would if the first fret sounds like a sitar and then do i have to stretch it just asking. and then tune it if it is tuned my guitar is not tuned at all.

@riffkiller43 12 лет назад

I have had this problem with my Les Paul and I seen a video of a new Les Paul and they changed the nut by changing its material to graphite. this is suppose to help. It would be nice though to get a response to your question.I wanted to see his answer myself. go to Gibson web sight .they have 24 hour help

@FruduaTv 11 лет назад

not yest but it's pretty simple consider watching my video on setting the heght on a strat and simplify it for a TOM.

@ZenithCam 9 лет назад

Thank you so much! I was looking for this information about fixed bridges for so long, this was very helpful. Nice to tell me sit sit back and relax too :)

@FruduaTv 9 лет назад

ZenithCam Very good:)

@cast390 12 лет назад

Hi my name is hfhg sfujr....Seriously Thanks for all your videos!!

@FruduaTv 12 лет назад

Il cambio di scalatura in se non può influenzare la rottura. Se capisco bene a te si è rotta una corda vecchia giusto?

@fruduadirectdeal 13 лет назад

@augie150 It's a Korg DT-7 but anyone will work.

@FruduaTv 12 лет назад

Potrebbe essere anche una bavetta nel punto in cui la corda si infila sotto al nut o semplicemente un caso: Se si ripete allora è un problema ma per ora direi che vai tranquillo

@sandrotuttiincucina 9 лет назад

Capisco che Le utenze inglesi e americane siano nettamente superiori.. ma quando qualche video in italiano??? complimenti comunque..

@YearraeY 6 лет назад

I hate pulling that I just tune then do bends on all frets works better

@gjm1971 look for fruduastoredotcom soon

@FruduaTv 12 лет назад

Where are the strings breaking? Did you put a smaller gauge strings? Did you change the brand? Go back to the original situation. Before you play stretch the strings as I explain. They will never get sharp again.
