I have heard mainly from the net that the proper way to tune is to unlock all the screws at the nut, go down from 6 to 1, lock the strings, and then fine tune. BUT the people who work at he guitar store say you should only unlock 1 screw at a time, do the 2 strings associated with that screw, and then lock it and move onto the next one, after that use fine tuners. Which one is correct? or are any? thanks Rv You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Which one is correct? or are any? thanks Rv Shouldn't make any difference I believe. If you just loosen the upper one for the particular string/strings and then fine tune the rest it should be ok. But I just got a floyd so dont take my word for it, it's just what Ive gathered from my music store. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
