- Convert your guitar in to a slide guitar and then put it back to normal without damaging or changing your guitar permanently. That is the claim of the Grover Perfect Nut Extension. On this episode of "the guitar geeks glorious guide to guitar gadgets gizmos and gimmicks", I see if these claims are true and even try a little bit of lap steel slide guitar myself

Hi , how the clone wat for this ridiculous planet is going?
I have seen a bass player on UA-cam, Ramcos, has a ridiculously low action, I would try to have the same on my bass but , I am worried about the risks.
Any advice?
Mzu5000 Mzu I’d say watch some videos on bass action adjustment or even better, take it to a luthier
@@TheGuitarGeek thanks, guitar doesn't have the same problem?
@@TheGuitarGeek I am jealous about my bass, I don't want to leave in others hands.. you know....
@@TheGuitarGeek tired about the clones jocke ?🙃🥳🤨😂🤣😂🙄👍
i have one of those and used it to get some slide parts on our recent album, absolutely brilliant!
I was extremely impressed. Drop your album link!
@@TheGuitarGeek open.spotify.com/album/4WL6yyLFUwGvOqQpTOgoLT?si=Cy1Xac2FSNCg3bGZuyc8WQ
Would love for you to give it a listen! =D
@@TheGuitarGeek i think youtube may have not liked the link, the album is "Just 2 Guys - Burgers and Fries". Would love it so much if you gave it a listen!
@@09numbers09 Found it on spotify. I will listen tonight while I am editing. Looking forward!
Wow. The sound has exceeded my expectations! I want one!
First item of the "the guitar geeks glorious guide to guitar gadgets gizmos and gimmicks" I will definitely buy - thx for the premiere!
Cheers Michael. I think it’s a fun investment in tone
Great video. Thank you for demonstrating this on a couple of different guitars.
My pleasure!
This is a brilliant product! I picked one up last month for a Danelectro U2 i have, and wanted to dedicate to being a slide guitar. I dont use it as a lap steel style, and just use it like a normal round neck guitar. Works great, but Ill probably file it down a bit so the action isnt quite so high.
Right ! That’s gone on my thomann wish list for next month. That’s impressive and a fun video to boot. I have a particular guitar that’s perfect for this. Thanks Andy 😀👍👍👍
That’s brilliant mate. For 10 bucks it’s a lot of fun
Very cool video and content thanks!😎👍🏼❤️ I will be buying one!
For ten bucks it is a great little gadget! Let me know how you fare
TheGuitarGeek will do for sure!👍🏼😊
Everyone needs a nut extender! 🎸
Didn't you marry one?
Yesssss sweet!!!
I had forgotten I had one of these my friend's dad just gave me and now my "lap steel" strat can be perfect now!!!!
I cut the horns off so it's like a Vox teardrop 😭😭
Whooohooo so excited to be able to learn more Hawaiian lap steel
I just found you and subscribed. Very enjoyable video and informative.
I used one on a cheap danelectro when I wanted to experiment with a bit of slide. Super easy and works really well
Great to hear!
Yeah, i put one on my Danelectro U2, and it works great! Im going to file the front edge down a bit, so it's not quite so high, but it's still good.
Great vid. I am a slide player, normally open E or standard. I have my action set up so I can fret behind the slide. From what I could see in the vid, the action looked like it was too high to do that. If you are playing slide only it looks like a good gadget.
Such a simple device. 😱
Pretty cool nut extender, and a great choice guitar wise also.
Oh it’s a beautiful guitar in every way
That is pretty cool and the price is right! Slide Jagstang should be your artist name Andy! 😎👍
That is it! I’m reinventing myself as a bluegrass guitarist called slide jagstang. Love it 😂
It's Bob Ross teaching guitars!
bit of a cheeky/unrelated question: are those Maybach Little Wing guitars available in stores/retail? Absolutely stunning looking + sounding :-)
If they made a smaller version I would use it. I don't care for a lapsteel feel, but a slide guitar.
Now that looked like a handy little gadget to have. Nice and cheap too. I'm off to extend some nuts.
Go get those nuts extended!
i like your video because i like your video, i do not like your video just to like your video, if i do not like your video i do not like your video ... perfectly clear ;)
Lol excellent intro!
Guthrie Govan does this slide trick with a subway ticket. 😉👍
Nice!!!!
Would have liked a tone comparison with regular slide playing, though I doubt there is a difference. That said, it's possible that due to that nut material, and the increased string height, that there is a difference.
Thanks for the video, Andy.
To my ears it sounded great. A tone comparison seems a bit redundant plus I can’t play slide
@@TheGuitarGeek Kind of my point though. Sure, it sounded great. However if you can get the same sound simply by using a slide, why would you bother? Unless you are specifically interested in playing lap steel.
So what you're saying is if your g string is loose you should extend your nut? Anyway, it sounds really good, but I'd rather have one guitar with a taller nut for slide playing. Looks like a lot of work putting that on and taking it off. Guess I'm just lazy.
I've tried these and found them too wide so that the top E string is almost off the edge of the neck. Also it marked the fretboard. Better off removing the nut and using shims.
What would help this sound better would be using your middle or ring finger between the slide and the nut to mute the extra noise in the background.
OK, that's really cool.
I think so too
An interesting video, funnily enough I tried to buy one of these a couple of months ago but I couldn't find anywhere that had one in stock, in the UK.
I gave up and cut a small strip of maple, knocked the nut off my guitar then reinstalled the nut on top of the maple strip, it worked a treat!
More importantly, what did the cat think about it?
Nice use of sepia!
Thanks!
Ha! Well that one is a neat trick and seems to work quite well! I could like it even more but I am still traumatized by that damn glove! Thanks for the video. That's a keeper! later Stan!
I ordered the glove!
Wonder if this would work on a floyd rose guitar, probably not. Still very cool though! :)
I dont think it would. There must be a way to rig something though.
From Leo: I have a resonator guitar and bought one of those Nut extensions. With the extension, and tuned to open "G" I play it with a steel slide, without I tune and play normally. GREAT invention!
kurt loved paris texas i bet he'd think its kool
A bit of thick wire does the trick. Check out Gary Rossington playing Freebird.
That works but would leave an indent in the fretboard
Ooo my I tried that awhile back. On a Epiphone Les Paul Special. You need a short scale if you have one.. That turned into a deep dark rabbit hole. Found out David Gilmore did some Pink Floyd with one... Caused me to build a Lap steel with a Humbucker on a 23" scale. Turned out great. Even built a case for it.. I am convinced playing lap steel is harder than I ever thought. Tunings and sting selection is a whole new world.. A world that may not be easy for me.. I can build one better than play one..
I think you need to show us how to play Chug Metal on a Lap Steel.... or Dimebag Lap Steel!
Dude... what is up with the hair? Rumor has it you left your hair dryer on US 110 volts after NAMM and got back to the UK and used it on 220.. Is that why Henning is bald now? Animals at the end..
Wow! Quite a journey.
is that why i like the video?
It looks way too high and annoyingly wide...
When did Doctor Who start a guitar channel? Seriously love the channel though
Wow! That is an honour. Glad you are having fun!
Wait, this thing actually seems useful!
Sorry. I didn't mean to inform.
@@TheGuitarGeek Well I was still getting useful information from this video, you need to do better job on creating crappy pointless content!
I liked the video lol
These. Are. Just. Wonderful who cares about the gadget with an intro like that?!
Thanks mate. It entertains me
TheGuitarGeek kills me every time.
I’ll see if I can top it!
TheGuitarGeek I believe.
It sounds like a texas prison
Camera is upside down up skirt! lol... Ok,ok,ok, I'm not sorry either... I think you are safe from yt demonatation...lol
🤓🎸🤓🇺🇸☮

Guitar geek nuttery, hahaha, sorry, uhm, I'll see myself out...
🎸🤓🎸🇺🇸☮
Gace you a thumbs up but that was bad....specially the nerfana bit...
Problem with your keyboard, champ?
least slide guitar, a fanned fret? this wouldn't work on a locking nut, i think.
You could be right there!
or you know, don't do that for $0. Parts of me are now bleeding that aren't supposed to bleed.
Jees... I hope it stops!
