I use a sock tied around the neck, I bought a fret wrap cause it's more convenient, looks good and smells better too.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ew!
I'm an old dude who started in bands in the 70's. I just use a bandana around the strings on the headstock. Does the same thing but for a buck 49.
Your comment is very similar to mine I told him I use an old Cotton sock ripped into very thin shreds and then I wrap it around the strings right on the nut
Exactly. A wrap looks a bit nicer than a sock but does nothing more. Jimmy clips look eveb better than wraps.
Since it goes on at the nut shouldn't it be called a NutWrap?
Great logo Ron. Ha!
@@triplesevensix291 Thanks! LOL
RonDicken1971 I would fucking love that name
No, coz ur mom wud get jealous if we stole her name
Not really, they were actually designed for tapping on bass and guitar (that two-handed piano-like technique they like nowadays), Gruv Gear indeed sell a 'FRETWEDGE HEADSTOCK DAMPENER' which is designed to kill ringing at the nut :P
I never thought to use them on any of my 6-strings but on my 8-string, where it's harder to keep everything muted and there's a wider potential for unwanted noise, I find a fret-wrap to be a must.
I came here to watch the fret wraps but couldn't take my eyes off of that guitar! I love that blue on it. Your tone sounds killer today, too!
I noticed it right away. I have only see guys in the studio use those for recording metal.
It was a noticeable with cabinet micd.
It was quite noticable when you had the fret wrap on when you were recording. Sounds amazing.
Thanks man!
Guthrie Govan has used one for years. So, yeah. And the comments regarding the other side of the tuneomatic are spot on. I suspect there are lots of more improvisational solutions, e.g. foam or a very large rubber band, but the wraps do make you look like you know what you're doing.
I felt like the fret wrap barely darkened the tone. But did superior dampening to perhaps even a noise suppressor. The fret wrap plus a noise suppressor with a treble or pedal boost would sound sick.
Oh yeah....on a tunomatic put a bit of pickup foam between hard tail and bridge....does more than wrap on the nut.
Hell yeah I used the packing foam from a Duncan JB to do the same
I find that it's difference is most noticeable when you go from something like a chug to a rest. For instance, I was wondering why my sound took so long to get to silence (with a gate in place) after muting with both hands after a chug. I noticed my strings above the nut were sympathetically vibrating and were actually coming through the pickups, which I really didn't think made much of a difference before. I use a floyd rose bridge, so I can't really do the whole halfway over the nut thing, but as far as eliminating noise from the strings above the nut it does a great job. That, and whenever I need to record a string skipping tapping lick it definitely comes in handy because those licks are a bitch and a half to mute.
hi great stuff, I use the fretwrap either before the first fret, on the neck like what you did to eliminate vibration noise of strings outside the fretboard. Secondly, this would show more effect and use of the fretwratp, i also put it on the first fret whenever I do shredding, pull-offs, hammering, arpeggio, other lead guitar stuff. It cleans out a lot as it mutes the strings that I don't press or use. No more palm muting.
i think the fret wraps work best for things like tapping, anything melodic that requires very clean sound(with gain of course) and maybe ppl who cant rly play clean like for example me. Great video tho!
First time I saw them was a few years back watching Michael Angelo Batio. They were billed for high gain, high volume and very hot pickups. A lot of the finger tapping crowd had them and as you said, now the heavy darker tone's are using them. It's cool, I've not tried them yet.
The dampening effect makes the strings feel a bit tighter; the intonation will be a hair sharp with them on. I use foam under the strings at the nut to kill the ringing sound. If you also put foam behind a Tune-o-matic bridge, it can make the guitar sound sterile. It's probably ideal though metal players that want a super tight sound.
I have a sterling music man axis guitar (cheap-o import copy of the EVH guitar from the early 90s). The guitar has a strat style trem system but no string trees up at the head. It's been making excess vibrations that sound awful when you're playing power chords since I bought it and I tried everything to fix it. Noiseless springs, packing foam in the bridge cavity etc., and nothing worked until somebody suggested putting some electrical tape over the strings right behind the nut and that fixed the problem immediately. I since ordered one of these because it will just look cooler than a piece of tape. These things work, but a sock, a wrist band, a piece of tape or a scrunchie would work just as well and would cost less. I like it though because it looks better aesthetically than the alternatives.
If you like it try on a locking nut. My theory so far is it may muting the neck not the strings. There's next to nothing there to mute, you could use a scarf. Would not surprise me to find out a odd tuning has odd effects on a guitar body/neck
I always thought people were just using their guitar to hold their man bun ties.
this made me laugh!
I honestly thought these things were used mostly to stop the constant feed back coming from your amplifier when high gain is on. I love metal but that crap is annoying. Turn your amp to high gain. You'll probably hear a buzzing sound (espescially if you have a crappy ten watt amp like I do) now put your fingers over the strings over the nut, like a fret wrap is used for. The feedback cleans right up. That alone might make one of these worth it for me
That's what noisegate pedals are for...
Only thing I could tell was the red one seemed to mute the whole sound like riding the damper pedal on a piano. I remember guys in the 70s weaving boot laces around the string above the nut, sometimes between the bridge and tail piece on old trapeze set ups.
Excellent. A solution to a problem I never knew I had.
The undertones are even more noticeable on a fender style head stock particularly the G string that rings in the D sharp realm once someone pointed it out to me I never went without a fret wrap, hair bow, or rubber band lol
i been using these for years on all my hardtail guitars and basses! good video robert!
My Chapman ghost fret pro has so much sustain I have to use one. Everything changed instantly
mine is arriving this week. I bought a medium size so it can fit both my 6 and 7 string
I heard no difference at all, because of crappy phone speakers, but watched it anyway, because it really is a cool riff 🤘
Thanks man!
It's a very small subtle difference. But it does make one.
Not at all. Just wast a good demo. It makes a big difference. Something as simple as laying your hand on the strings and then removing it can make your Strings ring out. If it's wrapped it makes no sound at all.
hey Robert, I am going to be critical in this comment. I always enjoy these RGD videos but the two things that always get me is the guitar being out of tune or the tone sounding less than desirable but I wanted to say that today you got everything down pretty well, the guitar sounded great and was in tune and I enjoyed your playing aswell.
Thanks!
lol... for YEARS guitar players have been using handkerchiefs or sweatbands or a velcro strip...hell I've even used an old sock..lol. but usually as a dampener on the first fret. (hence, the name "FRET wrap"). I've never used one as a "Headstock wrap". lol but hey, if that works for you.. by all means wrap your headstock. lol. however, I definitely didn't notice ANY sound advantage to wrapping the headstock. you can place foam under a noisy bridge if it rattles or vibrates.... but I've never come across a noisy headstock. and that CHARVEL is BEAUTIFUL my man..
lol.... headstock wrap!? that's funny... i was thinking the same thing...
I didn't notice enough difference to buy one. Sometimes , you want a subtle over, under tone, for the lack of a better explanation. I noticed that all the demos , you had distortion. Good demo video today.
Thanks for the video.
Very interesting I just discovered these as a newer guitarist lol. I notice a difference but I don't quite know if I hear much of a difference to really be worth buying 🤷 but I might get one just for the hell of it lol. Thanks for the video!
Slight loss in treble- kinda like slightly blending the neck pu with the bridge. Good to know. Thx.
That riff is late 80s fresh! Ñisssssssssce 🎸
You have any idea if that riff was apart of an actual song? I'd love to know that tab lol.
Tried them a couple of years ago and I didn’t notice a subtle difference also I’m not a fan of how they look either. Looks like a dog collar around the nut/headstock area. What I’ve been doing if I want to get rid of that type of noise and vibration is put a piece of soft rubber like foam under the strings above the nut and it does the job and also the foam is black and small enough that it blends in with the headstock
perfect solution, gotta try that
I’ll get 20 ft of Velcro strip and make like 40 fret wraps for like 8 bucks.
k
I've dampened my bass guitar strings for quite a while. Shores up the traditional dead spots on my Fenders.
Fret wraps or a piece of foam or whatever used to dampen the strings takes away that harmonic squeal from super high gain and lower tunings. I honestly didn't even hear the issue with your rig and guitar so the fret wrap isn't really needed. I closed my eyes and didn't really notice a difference with it on or off. I need a dampener for my detuned guitar because I get that pinging/squeal harmonic thing but only when running in high gain and especially when doing palm mutes. Tip: Cut a little block of foam you get from your Seymour Duncan or the like pickup packaging and wedge that just under the strings behind the nut. Weird pinging and harmonics will disappear.
I use these, have for a while now. However another use is when I am going to be doing a lot of trick soloing for showing off I move it down on the nut as well to help mute the strings. Michael Angelo Batio does this on his multi neck guitars as well to mute stings. Of course I can't play like that but trick that helps.
However what want to know. What you doing with the tune you recorded. Quite honestly I would love to have it as a backing track to jam over. Or just a thought. How about a contest for your channel. Give like a month for some people to record a solo over it. Vote for best solo. I like the riff honestly.
A lot of people have commented on the riff, actually. I’m thinking of finishing it the entire song, then sending it off to Distrokid for publishing/copyrighting. I’ll be happy to let you use it as a backing track once that’s done though.
@@RobertWJackson awesome. It's a good tune. I like it. I would definitely use it as a jam track.
Thanks Big Boss Man.
Won't include this in my practice schedule, but will save a lot of time in the studio. Its very hard to re record a perfect take for 1 un muted string 😅
That’s not really what they do when normal riffing. If you keep these covering your strings open notes will be muffled and not full. It’s only purpose on the fretboard is muting for tapping and lead style stuff really. It’s not for not needing muting techniques and good playing technique. With them past the nut they don’t stop that, they stop the ringing behind the nut.
Nice riffing there Robert! Love the blue Charvel guitar and never knew you were a bass player as well. My teacher uses these so I was curious as what they actually did and if they are worth it for a Floyd Rose type guitar?
I’m not a bass player, I’m a guitar player that owns a bass for when he needs to record one on occasion. LOL Assuming your Floyd Rose Guitar is also equipped with a locking nut, as most of them are, you’re probably not going to see much of a difference because the locking nut already isolated a lot of that string noise that the Fretwraps are designed to dampen.
@@RobertWJackson Don't be afraid to admit you're a bass player. There is no shame… :D
I assist in recording bands at a Guitar Center Studios and the Fretwraps have come in handy numerous times for me and my recording crew. My best story about them is this: once a punk band came in and the guitarist was playing a Fender Jazzmaster, which has what a lot of string space between the bridge & tailpiece. The ringing from that guitar was unbearable and while it can be a cool effect you can toy with, the band didn't want it on their recording. The ringing went right away as soon as I put a Fretwrap over the strings behind the bridge. I was so impressed, I ordered a few Fretwraps for my own use; cannot recommend these suckers enough.
Every Jazzmaster on the planet needs to have a buzz stop installed. Why Fender doesn't just start popping those things on standard I will never know. Super simple fix for like...$20.
@@bradmerilic6848 I agree somewhat, but I also think I know why fender hasn't installed that on Jazzmasters from the factory. We all know the experimental players love the Jazzmaster for playing behind the bridge. With a buzz-stop installed, there wouldn’t be any notes behind the bridge. And knowing Fender, their invention might not be removable, further turning experimental players off from the Jazzmaster.
Bass players have been doing this for ages by putting foam on the bridge end. It’s going to hurt you if you do anything with open-strong sustain, but then again, so much of this tone is coming from compressed massive gain the guitar tone it’s self matters so little in the equation that you won’t notice it live. Maybe use as a recording option, but...
This video seems more about the riffs than the wraps
Thanks for a wonderful demo with drums. People rarely do it.
In my opinion the fret wraps work by removing buzz behind the nut.
It must be checked in Lead solos as well.
Great tip!
@@RobertWJackson I am finishing an album which is Lead played over free soundtracks. I switched to 9-42 from 10-46 for better bends and had all intonation issues. I had to put a foam buffer behind the nut to maintain tuning. Please try lead and give us lesser mortals some feedback. Thanks for your candor.
@Shashank Sherkar Well, unfortunately I am also one of those lesser mortals that you speak of! LOL
@@RobertWJackson In that case please double click my avtar as Shashank Sherkar, go to my channel, listen to a couple of songs from my last album 'Vultures Around' It is all in 10-48s and has no such issues. Any likes and comments will be appreciated. Good night, stay in touch
shash.onemanband@gmail.com
it sounds to me like a lot of people who use these things or just using it to make up for the fact that they don't know how to Palm mute good enough. The only remedy I could see 4 sympathetic harmonics is that if you're playing a Stratocaster with a tremolo bridge stuff some cotton in between the springs on the back. And wrap a really thin piece of (preferably an old sock) around the strings right on the nut. If you need anything more than that you need to check yourself and not your equipment.
It’s not about palm muting. I think most any guitar player knows how to do that. Personally, I don’t mind spending $10-12 on something that is actually designed for the purpose, especially on my $3000 Gibson. Wrapping an old sock or stuffing foam underneath the bridge seems like a helluva lot more work and awfully cheap. LOL
Watching from Mexico bro! I have one but I put it on my San Dimas because apparently I’m stupid lol. I could hear the difference on this vid
That seems to be up for debate. Some people say they could hear a difference, others say they couldn’t. 🤷🏻♂️ But the mixed track seems to be popular. LOL Looks like I need to turn it into a full tracked song with vocals and send it off to Distrokid for publication. LOL Wanna write and sing some vocals for me?
I got one for my tune o matic bridge guitar. It didn’t do much for me. Turns out most of the rattle was coming from the bridge, not above the nut. It was only $11 on amazon so I gave it a try 🤷🏻♂️
*VERY* very interesting!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Oilid!
@@RobertWJackson You're welcome guitar bro!
Been thinking about getting these for awhile and this video convinced me to order some. Great riff.
Use my Amazon links. LOL
@@RobertWJackson I'll definitely will 😉
Ordered
I use them in all my Fender Basses tuned in standard tuning because I hear sympathetic resonance vibrations mainly on the A String of my American Standard Jazz, Precision and Japanese Mustang Bass going from the nut to the tuning posts. Other people don't hear the noise when I play but stupid little noises like that bug the fuck out of me. They say the new Fluted Tuners on the American Professionals fix that problem but I've already got what I got so that's what I got.
Good video, Robert. Think I might buy one of 'em.👍
Best idea since the amp capo.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
These actually are useful. LOL
P.s. not familiar with charvels but that blue one reminds me of the Jackson dominion, m loving the shape. I'm a Jackson 90s guy. There was a short time where imports were done in Japan and or korea...they r the best...even the hardware was made in japan. They won't let u down.
This is one called a Skatecaster from a series discontinued a few years ago called the Desolation series. The body shape is a throwback to the old Charvel Surfcaster from the early 90’s, which I believe is also where the Dominion came from.
I'm getting closer to buying a used charvel. I'm a metal guy but love clean on a single coil neck. I've retro fitted a single coil surround that fits in a humbuckers space on my explorer and my old dinky. What's a good charvel that will be good on the used market, I have a thing about not paying more than like 5,600 bux. Any problems or setup issues, I'm more than capable to correct.
The Desolation Series Charvels can be bad for well below that budget. You might also look for one of the Pro Mod Series that are made in Mexico.
The problem with Fretwraps are they are overpriced for such a simple piece of sponge or cloth
It's not really necessary for people who are good at muting . I don't know many Famous Guitarist who use Fretwraps either (maybe I'm just not researching enough) so probably not as necessarily as you think.
But whatever makes you flow, you do you, plus they do look good on your instrument.
I use a hardtail guitar 95% of the time. These things are "gimmicky"I just use a cotton sock, and rip it into thin shreds and use that instead it works absolutely fine
or you could spend a whole 10 bucks and do it easier...
That's really eye-opening man!
Always wondered what them things were all about.
But if I'm only ever in E flat, or drop D, I don't have to worry about those?
You’re guitar is going to produce those overtones regardless of what tuning your in. It just helps tighten everything up a bit. :)
Is this the same type of thing that Jennifer Batton was using a while back ? Think she made hers from something . They do make some difference . The red 1 made the biggest difference. Yep the red 1. OMG a new thing ,,Tone Wraps ! Liking the riff btw .
Fretwraps! Thanks man!
YES!...Jennifer Batten and Michael angelo Batio both sold their own... I've got both versions and they're pretty much the same thing.. a string dampener! I've never really used a "headstock wrap" though...lol
You remember those bits of tape that athletes used to put on their noses? You would see them in sports from golf to motor racing and all points between. What happened to them? Can't help thinking fret wraps will end up on the same dump. Thanks for the vid
though.
Breath-rite strips are still around! LOL
I like your playing to me it's a cross between Ratt and Velvet Revolver 🎸✌
I can't tell the difference , with or without the fret wrap . Just Doo Keith Richard style In - dex - fin - ger . Thanks TroyFrost / Troyster 😎 CoolRiffs 😎 Cool 🎸 🤘🤘 🤘
I’m pretty sure it sounds slightly more clean to me. It’s pretty subtle though I think so it’s probably ok with or without one. This is also a 6 string so it might be more noticeable on a 7-9 string. You know? I realize your comment is a year old but I’m just getting to the point where I might need one of these in the next few months so I was seeing if I actually needed one or not haha
Also might be more noticeable in person too
Yep it work..
I just run Velcro ties in the string or deaden with a pice of tape. The G string seems to ring and screech.
Great riff, awesome looking Charvel.
Are these ok to leave on your guitar or no?
Yep, they won’t hurt anything.
i saw the lolita guy/girl uses one with lace on it. couldnt you use the rubber band off the veggies?
The high-end guitar cables got a cleaner sound
Huh?
Sorry Robert my auto-correct goes retarded sometimes
I know a few guitarist that use hair ties to deaden strings. Tried it myself it works but you need to figure out how tight to put them . I really couldn't hear a lot of difference on your recordings bit sounds like to me just like with hair ties you have to play it to feel the difference.
I have one but i don't play a lot with high gain distortion
As usual a good show. There’s a difference, but I don’t think you need to bye one. Personally I prefer with out these. But maybe live they could be a tool. But still you could easily make them self. I used headset , but I always use Floyd rose so I am not to judge. But I will try it out on my sg lion. I think all could cut an old cloth and use it. A slightly difference yep, better? I can’t really tell. I did it home and maybe I need to play at a higher Volume. But I like where I live. Good show. I’m introducing you to my friends so I guess the word will go around. No reverse Flying V. It could be interesting if you could play one. Ugly as it is, maybe it has a good sound. There must be something good some where. Or not. Once again great show
It might be my ancient ears, and my “one gig too many” ears, but I’m not that precise a player to warrant such a device.
Interesting. I don't really play enough heavy stuff to warrant these (at least I don't think so) and was mainly looking at them as a means to muffle my hypersensitive nylon string when it's on a stand, poor baby. I can see they might be handy after all, though. Thanks for the review!
I've seen Hunter Agufish wrapping stuff on his geet's behind the nut here on you tube. Cheers Rob.
I’ve seen both he and Ola England using them quite a bit.
I like Hunter as he is a big Liverpool FC fan which is my home city. Birthplace of a lil beat combo you may have heard of? We won the European cup for the 6th time not long ago. Good stuff. Cheers Rob. ;)@@RobertWJackson
I mean you could use a piece of foam, a couple of packing peanuts, or even a piece of tape would deaden those overtones
I agree, but why not want make it look more legit and professional for your fancy guitar you put all this money into?
I use em ..I like em
So players who produce mush buy things to make the mush sound different but it's still mush. Right?
Apparently. 🤷🏻♂️
Beats me! I never heard of fret wraps before!
They sound better imo
Cool and they serve a purpose. I am not sure if I would ever use one. Can't think of any of my guitar idols that ever used one and their tone was "ok". Jimi Hendrix, Page, Blackmore, Beck, Satriani, SRV.... Need I go on????
BTW, that Riff is now stuck in my head. Thankfully it was pretty cool.. Thanks Robert
Most likely because those were not invented back then...
Use them all the time
As soon as you said let's here it through an interface shall we, ingot blasted with an Oral B techno song and thought it was you lmao
A techno song with a toothbrush?
I used all my ex girlfriends hair things as a fret wrap. Hell I've even used the foam insulation from a window AC unit. They do work up to a point.
Oh yeah darkseid, some weather stripping, I've certainly used that on jobs with low action past the nut, some have adhesive on the back.
Dude, love that axe!
Thanks!
Hey Robert!
What`s the green cable behind you?
Hallel Cables! Mogami studio-quality cables without the Mogami price tag! Here’s a video on them that I did, along with a promo code for my viewers in the Description of the video. ruclips.net/video/cKEab_V4JgI/видео.html
Are they serious?This trick is been used for years either but a bit of foam or hair rubber band.And they usually use it for solos.
What riff is that? I’d love to learn it
Just one of my originals.
@@RobertWJackson well that’s one hell of an original. It’s honestly really really 🔥
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Try taps an sweeps u will hear the difference
Johnny Wooten uses a wrist sweat band. Regi sorry.
Hi Robert. How’s it going in your part of the world? Despite what you have heard, we’re not locked up here in Australia. Those reports are lies. Anyway, is there a fret wrap which you can recommend? I’m going to try one on my PRS and one on my round neck Dobro. That come amplifies everything. Cheers mate. Stephen 👍😁
When did I hear that you were locked up in Australia? LOL
I like the Fretwraps HD, but realistically any of them should work fine as long as it’s the correct size for your instrument.
@@RobertWJackson Thanks Robert. Friends in the US sent me links to news sites, which said that we were in a serious lockdown with harsh restrictions. They made Australia sound like North Korea. Where I live, we had 3 months of a light lockdown which ended in June 2020. Life has been normal ever since. Cheers, S
I’d be curious to know who the publications were that were reporting that nonsense. There sure is a lot of that crap here in the U.S.
@@RobertWJackson I can’t remember. A friend of mine in NC sent me a link to a good source, such as the NY Post. People in New York had a protest during which they chanted “Save Australia”. It got reported here and people were saying “Save us from what?” The only thing we have to do in South Australia is wear masks. It’s the only mandatory thing. People wear masks here because everyone wants to look after the “community” rather than look out for their own interests. We do things in our own way which is different from many countries. The community/country comes first, and by looking after the community, we look after our families and ourselves.
I need to move to south Australia. LOL
I wonder if you could notice a bigger difference on an acoustic?
I’m not sure. Probably. I geared this video towards the metal players because that’s who I always see using these.
@@RobertWJackson I'm going to wrap my one tie that I never use behind my nut to see it it helps, lol.
You’re way too clean! Even without it! definitely not needed in your case. Can’t tell the difference lol! I think maybe for a sloppier guitarists like myself or on double tapping techniques. Great playing tho, great riffs, keep on 🤟🏼
This trip would be cool but way faster I'm not all about speed but that particular riff most definitely
I would rather use my palm mute technique
Their only good in a recording situation . There's some difference in recording and using a interface . It's not practical in a live situation though. It doesn't make that much difference. They look pretty stupid on your guitar imo
sounds better without
I use a sock.
cool tshirt what year is that charvel?
Thanks! I bought the Charvel new in 2014. It’s a Desolation Series Skatecaster.
If you play dirty they work great. If u got your stuff tight they take away.
I use a piece of duct tape, lol. Works pretty well.
People look so different from the side :O
Huh? LOL
