    He does not explain how much slack you should leave prior to winding. You need at least a 3″ height from string to fretboard on the heavy strings and two inches for the lighter top strings.
    He also does not show you the proper “locking” method which guitarists have used
    for decades. I was not impressed, high quality production video with low quality information

  • TheBlacksabbathfan9 11 years ago

    @calvin0135 yea I was wondering that to

  • DanielsHungry 11 years ago

    Only thing that always gets forgotton is how much excess to leave to tune. example:- you notice him holding the string down on the nut, yet holding whats left of the string high away from the fretboard? (i believe thats called slack i am unsure) but this part isnt explained on why he is holding the string high.

    some people might just pull the string through, turn the tuning peg without leaving excess & the string will snap. leaving them clueless as to why. so this needs to be explained.

  • redlinechavez 11 years ago
