Help regarding tuning problems
« on: February 16, 2010, 07:05:25 PM »
Mga sir, may problem po yung G string ko, pag nagii-string bending at nag pipinch harmonic ako, na de-detune. Ever since na nag-switch ako 10's, ayun bigla na lang nagkaganun.
Don't become obsessed with sounding like one particular player and sounding exactly like him.

pwedeng sumasabit yung string sa nut or nagsslip sa tuning pegs.

Proper stringing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGLMy6DbpBc

Baka masyado masikip yung slot ng G string sa nut. Pwede mo isand ng onti. Ingat lang baka mapasobra.

The string might be binding on the nut slot. Don't deepen it, just widen it a bit. Lubricate the slot with Vaseline mixed with pencil graphite shavings. Not the cleanest if you have a white nut but it worked for me.

This. an alternative is to buy a nut lube, or buy a self lubricating nut like Graphtech.

not all teflon.. it's a mixture actually.. pero you can try that if it helps.. then again, pag masikip talaga yung nut slots, wala rin masyado mangyayari.. give it a shot..

Yup. You can scrape some graphite from a pencil with a blade. Tapos sprinkle mo sa nut. Hehe.

I like to add a bit of Vaseline para gel type. Stays in place better also. I also lubricated the underside of the string tree. Strings sometimes tend to get caught there also.
