Man Iv been playing guitar for years and never owned a Floyd rose bridge... but I just got one and had no idea how to tune it.... thanks for this video brother
Absolutely man, you're welcome! It's really simple, but can be confusing if you haven't had to do it before. Just make sure it's properly set up first especially if it's a fully floating bridge.
@@SethWorsham got the guitar from Sweetwater it’s a Jackson JS3 RHOADS ... sweet guitar I got it figured out all ready.. just had to play around with it.. Sweetwater did a good job of pre setting the bridge for me . Thanks man cool video of you get a chance check my channel out I’ll sub to yours... Justins music and fitness
@@varminttank I will check it out and subscribe, thank you! Much appreciated.
same thing here. have had many guitars. i set them up myself, i swap my pickups, hardware, etc. my girlfriend got me my first floyd guitar as a christmans present which is a good thing, i may have never bought one otherwise. turns out i really like it. couple of times i used the fine tuners to tune it, now it is probably time to use the actual tuners. is there a rule to when to use the fine tuners, and when it is time do a tuning as you have done in the video?
@@tolvajakos do the head stock tuners first then the bottom tuners it’s not as hard as everyone makes it out to be after a few times... You will be rocking 🍻
I’ve watched 4 “how to tune Floyd Rose” videos and this one seems like the easiest method. Now I’m not so intimidated and can’t wait to get one!
Edit: 1 year later I now have a Dean Dime. I use this tuning method regularly. And I abuse the heck out of the Floyd haha!
Glad it helped! Make sure it's properly set up first, and you'll be good to go!
I had the same thought
I bought an Ibanez JS100 with a floyd rose and had no idea what it was. I broke a string trying to tune it without loosening up the nut. Never seen one before. Now that I've seen some videos on this I think I can deal with it. I did get the guitar setup so just need to know how to do basic tuning.
Haha that’s awesome, I ordered a Dean custom 350 trans black and I can’t wait to abuse its Floyd rose too! lol
This was the best and easiest explanation I could find on UA-cam. Thanks Rifflord
You're welcome! What else would you like to see me explain that's guitar related?
@@SethWorsham Please! If you could put up a video on how you are changing strings on your Floyd Rose, kind of in the same easy to understand fashion as this tuning video, you would be of great help to many. Up the irons 🤘
@mathias6423 will definitely do that soon, sorry it took me so long to reply!
Finally! Someone who actually has a good tutorial and doesn't talk the whole time, thanks!!
This was perfect. I have watched like 10 different Floyd videos which made me no sense at all. This was straight forward and got my new guitar tuned the way i wanted. Thanks a lot man
I've gotta give you props dude, you never ONCE talked down about tuning a Floyd Rose and much like everyone else here I was pretty intimidated by it, I'm almost certain you have your dad's vibe pretty chill and patient. Thank you soooo much! This is a lot easier than the going back and forth method 😅 I can't wait to pick up my Ibanez now!
Aaaannnddddddd downloaded! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
God you’re my hero. I’m typically a fender strat guy and thought I was going crazy for a sec
This is like the 5th video I watched for tuning this floating bridge.
By far the easiest explanation and demonstration.
All tuned up now and playing like a dream
Thanks man! this tutorial kept me from pulling my hair out.
If only all guitar instructional videos were this easy to follow. Well done!
Thank you for the easy walkthrough everyone else on UA-cam making it seem like it's the end of the world to tune the floyd rose. Appreciate ya.
Every other video on this subject literally avoided explaining to me how to tune this, and only told me how to change all the strings. Thank you for being the first to understand what I ask "how to tune a floyd rose," I'm not asking how to replace every single string.
Finally, someone who's taken the time to show me exactly what to do.. great job, thankyou!
You're welcome!
I have a Kramer Pacer with a Floyd Rose..and now i learned from your video,how to tune it...ty,Rifflord dude..ure cool..and Maiden RULES!!
I'm used to playing Ibanez and I just bought a used Jackson with Floyd Rose set up now I feel a little bit more comfortable trying to set it up thanks
Thx man made my first floyd go from not going out of tune every five seconds thx
Cool guitar. Quick and easy method.
I’m expecting my first Floyd Rose guitar in the mail today. Thank you for this video. I hope I don’t break a string lol.
You're welcome!
Thanks Man! I just got a brand new LP, with a Floyd Rose. Never had one before. I started tuning as you would a regular guitar. I quickly realized something was wrong. And there are so many complex tuning vids out there. You gave me the right information. Thanks again!
Thanks, IRL. Just what I needed. Straightforward and simple. Worked perfectly. Rock on, my friend. Now my Jackson J34Q Dinky is ready to go. My very first Floyd Rose.
Thanks for the vid man recently got my synyster standard saw the Floyd rose and my first thought was UA-cam
Thanks for the basics!
I didnt know you can lock each nut after 2 strings, i always got it close to tune and locked all 3, always a nightmare, thanks bro
I just remembered what we were talking about my guitar bridge. My Ibanez has a edge zero II. 🤘🏼
Thanks from Australia.
Perfect for new person with Floyd rose.
This is great, I thought it would be a daunting task but it's so straightforward. Thanks.
Thank you so much, that seems way easier than the guys at the guitar store were saying
So helpful! Thanks for the quick and easy instructions.
Just bought my first Floyd and thank you for this video! I immediately went to tuning on the headstock and broke two strings lol
Thank you soooo much for this! I’ve had my Floyd rose schecter for over a year now and I’m just now learning how to tune it myself!
Thank you. I just got an EVH 5150 and I've never owned a Floyd Rose all the other videos made this so complicated
Just got my first Floyd Rose ESP EC-1000 and your video is exactly what I was looking for thanks so much!
Thanks for making it so simple, man! This method makes so much sense.
Thank you for this. Straight forward and extremely helpful!
Dude! My first guitar was an MG43! That's the SSS version that you have! Mine is red. Sparkly. Awesome job my dude. 90s washburns kill. I dropped a stacked Screamin' Demon in the bridge. That kid shreds.
Thank you Sir! I have been playing quite a while and never had a floating bridge before. Your explanation is very clear.. not trying to be complicated like most, no showing off.. thank you and will follow your advise.
Thank you so much man you've really helped me out. I got my first floyd for my birthday and this helped me out a lot. Thanks again :)
Finally, a straightforward explanation. Thanks sir. This was by far the most useful video regarding a FR tuning.
Dude this video makes so much more sense than other ones and I like that u go step by step cause that really helps to understand and show how to do it right
Day 1 with my first guitar and this video helped me immensely! They should put this in the manual. I appreciate your efforts and video awesome man 👍 Thanks
How’s the guitar playing going?
Excellent Riflord! The most helpful "how to" that I could find. Thank you man!!
I'm getting a jackson guitar with a floyd rose and this was one of the best explanations I could find! Thank you rifflord

I genuinely appreciate this video thank you for making it straight forward.
You're most welcome! Thanks for checking it out!

Excellent video! Just got my EVH bumblebee and wanted to make sure I knew what I was doing and didn’t mess up lol!
Thats a badass guitar! I got the Adrian Smith Jackson coming in tomorrow and itll be my first guitar with a floyd so this video will help out a lot! Thanks brother!!
This is the easiest explanation that I saw on UA-cam, thank you!
This really was a big help. Thank you.
Thank you ton's man. This was easily the best video. None that I watched tightened the tuning nut after tuning each 2 strings.
Thanks. This is the cleanest and most helpful guide to tuning a Floyd Rose I have found. It got me from wanting to toss my guitar across the room to tuning it in 5 minutes. Many thanks.
Sweet! I'm 45, been playing since 15 and just got my first Floyd style trem. This video was an enormous help! Up the Irons!
So simple. The explanation I was looking for
Ive been searching on UA-cam but in your channel where I found the easiest and fastest way to tune my floyd rose guitar thanks I am one of your patron now.
Kool vid! Ya, I got all the tools you had in the video as well! Thank you for that video cuz maybe tomorrow I will pick up my guitar again and get back into that part of my music again!👍😎🤘
This video should have over 100k views. Best video I’ve seen on this short and simple.
I've been playing guitat for far too long, but only got my first Floyd Rose this year - this video helped me a lot!
JFC, finally someone made a video that made actual sense...THANK YOU!!!
thanks so much this helped me so much and was so easy to understand
Thank You! I just purchased my first guitar saw an adult. It’s been about 15 years since I’ve played, this will help me tune my new guitar tonight. Take care.
Thanks for this.
I had this darn thing all fecked up!
Mines an EVH Wolfgang Special and basically the same thing, but I didn’t know you could only go down with this version of the Floyd.
I don’t think I’ll buy another Floyd equipped guitar, it I sure appreciate the help here!
Best! ✌🏼
Thank you sir ! Nice and simple, well done. Never owned a Floyd rose axe until my son passed his Wolfgang to me. I’ve learned to keep it in tune now.
You're a blessing made it so easy. If you dont already you should do a video on how to setup your floyd rose🙏
Awesome instruction man! Thanks!!
Getting my first Floyd Rose guitar on Sunday and ironically I bought it to play Iron Maiden like you 👊. As an experienced guitarist I'm looking forward to a new experience.
This is really good! 👍 Thanks
Thanks man,I really appreciate your taking the time to help me out.
My pleasure!
Thanks man, just the right info.
Wow dude, this video really explains a lot! It looks so simple now when you showed me, Thank you!👍🤟
I have never though of clamping it every 2 stings! I’ve been getting all 6 about par then clamping, then fine tuning, gonna try this now!
Just got my first guitar with a floyd rose and this helped sm
Thank you so much for the straight forward video dude. Just got a guitar with a floyd rose after a few years of playing cause a whammy bar seemed like a "fun new toy". Little did I know what I was getting myself into. Thankfully I got it from a local shop with cool and knowledgeable people and the springs and everything were perfectly balanced so I dont have to worry about that. Yet.
thanks for posting this bro im a bassist over 40 yrs my son has the floyd rose on his dave murray strat so im learning to show him
Bro you’re a god. I just got my first Floyd rose and I was just in awe how bad it was at staying in tune and this video came in so clutch thank you so much!
You're a life saver my dude, thank you
Great advice, it works! Peace out! Thanks!
Thank you sir well said and quick to the point 🤘
Mother F'n THANK YOU Sir! I feel stupid after watching this because you made it so simple! I've been trying to reinvent the wheel tuning my floyd... Been playing for over 20 years, and have stayed away from Floyd's until I came across this video. You rock!
This was helpful! Thanks man!
Absolutely a perfect instruction for me as a 55yr old novice player. many Thanks from San Angelo Texas!
Also, thank you for explaining this in a very easy to understand way. Cant believe some of the videos out here... been playing for a while but just got my first jackson/ floyd rose. Feel like using it might take a minute though. Kinda weird having it after all these years
your video helped me a lot with my first floyd rose! thank you so much!
You're most welcome! That's why I made it. For a student who'd just gotten his 1st Floyd Rose.
Up the irons INDEED!! Wanted to drop a Thanks!!! Simple and more importantly, straight to the point!! Nailed it! Thank you!!!
Thanks you for this video, it was easy fast and thanks to you now I know how to tune my Floyd rose 💯✊🏻
You're welcome! Glad I could help.
This is such a fantastic tutorial and the best one I've seen so far.
Glad you think so!
Thanks for the instructions. My uncle hooked me up with a Kramer that has a Floyd he bought it from some random chick at his store. It was tuned in B so I was trying to figure it out to have it on E standard tuning lol
Ive been scared of floyds for years...gave it another shot.. thank u for this!!!
A regular individual? Nay, a King!
Endowed with a coalescence of incalculable technical resourcefulness and cognizance, whilst possessing the generosity to effectively disseminate such indispensable knowledge?
