A lesson on TSO!! Xmas came early this year. Thanks, my friend. 🙂 May your Christmas be merry and bright!

Wow, I'm a bit late checking out the "new" video - I just got the latest email and hadn't watched this yet. 🙂 But I finally got to it, and I'm glad I did. I run Xubuntu 20.04LTS, and MuseScore 3.2.3 is the version in the repo, so now I know not to update to v4.x. 😁

As long as a musician knows Major scale with relative minor and pentatonic scale, and is willing to try using accidentals they are set. An argument can be made for learning the modes, but it seems like too much theoretical knowledge leads to over thinking and creative stagnation. Just my 2 cents.

Nice! Good for young players to understand how much learning theory enhances your creativity! It's a marathon, not a dash.

Story of my life - no MT ever! Great video buddy!

AWWW YEA BABY 🗣️

Please keep making videos

I specifically love them for the fact you can change string gauge and tuning without having to file the nut. You can be playing B one day and change the strings and go back to standard E the next.

bought my first one 35 years ago (Jackson), and there wasnt utoob to tell me how to restring, tension, etc, I just had an allen key and had to figure it out - never regretted the purchase though, I still use it today

If you're asking the question, the answer is no.

Brother, I agree with 99.9% of everything you posted here. I will only add this: The Floyd was the first E.V.H. "trick". When I started playing there was NO "dive bomb" tremolo. (Yeah, I am OLD!!) I routed various guitars and installed a lot of Floyds for my own guitars and for friends. Yes, they require a little more attention, but as you learn what to do it becomes rather mundane, not that big a deal. That's what I am saying. What you have to do is well worth what that Floyd enables you to do with your guitar. Great job on this, I enjoyed watching this and keep on playing, bro....

Floyds are definitely a love/hate relationship. For the first 10-15 years of playing, I would only play Floyd equipped guitars. Now I've been playing for about 35 years and I perfer non-Floyd guitars. I don't mind a Strat or PRS trem though. This is probably from my musical preferences expanding from just metal. I still like metal, but not nearly as much as I used to. I hate how notes go flat when bending on Floyds, and I hated shimming saddles to get the right radius. Other guitars are just much easier. I have one Floyd equipped guitar now out of my 10 guitars. It's the PRS CE DW Custom 24. (It's Dustie Waring's sig guitar. I barely know about him or his band, but the guitar is sweet. Plus I don't like any newer metal.) Problem is, I hardly play it because of the Floyd. Notes going flat when I bend is so annoying. There're definitely tons of cool things that only a Floyd can do. That's why I used to love them so much. This comment clearly shows the love/hate relationship that Floyds bring.

I also did that exact same mistake for my first guitar when I was 16. I still have that guitar, played the absolute hell out of it. But I cannot stomach messing with it anymore. I just want a Telecaster now. Let me just set it up once and not have to tune it 27 times every time I pick it up. Or be able to change tunings whenever I want without unscrewing half the guitar open, and messing with the back springs. And then retune it 27 times again.

My Floyd Rose bridges stays better in tune tha most of my hardtail guitars Not counting my Evertune guitars

My first Guitar Build, after exclusively playing acoustics was Floyd equipped Its a HSH strat thing and has been with me 10+ years it just works (keeps tune after the Gotoh replacement bridge 4 years ago) it's just my #1 a few years ago got a bigsby equipped non fixed bridge hollow body every body told me it will be hours of fun changing strings yea right the Floyd taught me everything from intonation to string tension and I play a lot of Rock/Blues/Early Metal on it which confuses the punters.

Floyd’s are easy if your even almost mechanically competent

Back in '86 I bought a brand new Ibanez Roadstar II (RS-440). I loved what Brad Gillis from Night Ranger was doing so I knew my first guitar had to be red and have a Floyd. That Ibanez tremolo took a hell of a beating and never went out of tune even after trying to copy what Brad was doing during the outro on "Touch Of Madness".

I've owned many guitars with a floating Floyd Rose in the 3-4k range. And I keep selling them. I think it changes the feel when picking the strings. It is also a bit of a hassle. The only floyd rose guitar I own is the ones that are locked in place only allowing diving. Such as EBMM Axis or EVH. My favorite floating trem is the one you can find on a Ernie Ball Music Man JP or Majesty. No hassle, no locking nut, the strings are straight at the headstock with locking tuners, and the nut is designed to keep strings stable.

The video covers the subject rather well - both the negative as well as the positive. You stayed pretty neutral about it, letting the viewer make up their own mind. You might think about doing similar videos with other trem systems.

Nice work! Just downloaded the tone advice, thanks!

Great tunes ❤

Nice video buddy! Your production skills are great!!

Beautiful guitar!! Thanks for all the great content!

Redo the entire video for tremolo picking only on low e

You showed how to clean a guitar, this video is CRAP 💩

Nice! Thanks, I have Amplitube 5. I bought Their Pitch Shifter plugin pedal. I thought it would sort of automatically give the effect of dropping only 1 octave but it doesn't. Do you know the one I'm talking about? It's orange and it only has 3 dials. It looks simple but I can't get it to the correct octave. It sounds out of tune. Suggestions? Thanks You're a very good player btw. Sounds amazing Subbed.

Great video buddy!

Truly appreciate the video, I'm definitely adding those TABs to my practice routine. I guess it does not have much complexity after all 😅. I just need to get my hands up to speed!

"writers block"? lol

triads

Great video bud!!

This reminds me of the old joke - "How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" "Practice!" 😁

i broke a string the day after taking it to a guy that did it at guitar center lol

very clear and concise video! thanks!!!

One of my biggest struggles is my high e string popping out of the bridge. I use the same gauge every time, I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong.

Hell yeah, love me some good and chonky E standard riffage. If anyone is interested then Winds Of Plague also makes a sh*tload of heavy deathcore in E standard.

If you're looking for heavy E standard songs pre-heritage Opeth has got you covered. Check out Heir Apparent.

Damn, dude - you really find the best examples for your lessons. I especially like that it's E standard. I don't need to retune my Les Paul to play this. 🤘

Outshined by SoundGarden was the heaviest IMO. Great video!

I would love to see an in depth video of string muting, I'm kind of struggling to understand the concept, especially on quick riffs where 1 single note is mutted in the middle of a bar, and also full chord mutting. I hope it's not a hassle to you, you don't have to make them if you don't want to 👐
