QUICK TIP 1 - Drop tuning with Evertune

[@SerjBassist]

According to KZbin's self-generated subtitles, your band is called "The Honda".

[@followfornothing]

SD-Bassist That is hilarious!

[@downskitty]

[@Manas_Kunder_]

Ya that is the secret xD

[@ConspiracyRangr]

😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@ambrooks5]

Lmao!😂

[@travisa55]

Ola this is great advice!!! I wish that I would have thought I was smart enough to have figured this out on my own? I play an Evertune bridge and play mostly in D Standard and occasionally in Drop C, this is perfect!!! Thanks again Ola for SOLID ADVICE 🤘🤘

[@nitishbharadwaj7441]

Last time it was this early, Ola was still endorsed to Washburn!

[@Joose]

Awesome. I recently picked up Brian Welch’s “Sir Headly” with the EverTune and man... what a thing the EverTune is.

[@SapperRJMorgan]

Joose what’re your general comments on it?

[@TheJdhisto]

I must admit though, this exact evertune technique is pretty awesome. Thanks

[@davidlawson7786]

Hahaha Ola we love you, love the Rob Chapman comment lol You’re the best! There’s a reason why everyone loves you brother! Keep doing what you do!

[@saltykrug]

Ola, I wish my last original swamp metal band was still together. I would love to see how our guitarist would have come up with new material on one of your amazing axes. I gotta give you mad props for making one of the toughest looking metal heads weep with pure joy by sending him one of your iconic axes. I see that as the true spirit of metal. Putting out the love of life and aggression in music but showing love and good spirit to mankind. I'm hoping I can alter my work to get that band back together. If we have to save every dime from gigs and merch to buy that guitarist one of these, it'll get done if I have to sell sammiches! We played to C I think, i'm a drummer and backup singer so what the hell do I know? Cheers sir!

[@RustingPeace]

i know that there is swamp rock back from the 50's but swamp metal oO

[@5urg3x]

Thank you so much for this video man, I just got an Evertune installed in my 7 string Ibby but I haven't been brave enough to try to change the tuning yet

[@memesupreme4338]

Awesome to know all this before taking the plunge on one of these guys. Thank you, mang!

[@5urg3x]

Also that headstock is beautiful, I love the design, great job on Solar guitars Ola!

[@rasmusthrane7957]

Great video. Besides the tuning benefits, the sustain of the guitar will improve too. At least that’s my experience.

[@Gherson069]

I´m selling my patent for a Nevertune bridge. Anyone? The guitar will never be in tune.

[@JigAtTheFuneral]

The Floyd Rose already exists mate

[@bigkid757]

I think Gibson has that covered 😂

[@juliendamours3587]

Gibson already did that bro... sorry... and its included in all their guitar for free !

[@Dwarfgrinder]

@@JigAtTheFuneral I've had many floyd rose bridged guitars and they all tuned and stayed in tune great. It's all about the set up. Dive bombs and all too.

[@Rattlepiece]

My Gibson SG would like a word with you!

[@joshpetit44]

Why is it a pita to tune the bridge with the tuning key? You would just have to tune the low string down to drop and that’s it right?

[@miguelsequeiraguitar]

Very nice Tip Thanks!

[@bakinghotdogs]

I like your videos better then your suggested person to watch. Besides as much as that person wishes to they will never catch up to your Status . Thanks for all your youtube videos man.

[@fredriksvard2603]

John Hotdogs that person can’t play

[@DiamondLifer]

All his time I never put together that you play for The Haunted. I was just listening to rEVOLVEr the other week. Amazing stuff.

[@MikaTarkela]

This was very helpful. Mine is tuned to drop C so its easy to just raise the tuning from the tuner on the headstock :)

[@followfornothing]

Evertune seems like the way to go! Thanks, Ola!

[@Leviplaysdrums]

Lost my shit at Chapman video hahahahaha it totally is

[@TheSithking]

Yep it is! i stayed tho ;)

[@nickhetzschold7946]

Please make "Cooking with Ola" a regular series, the one in your FAQ was awesome!

[@KelvysonJacob]

I always play dropp, the changes I make are in tonality, I use a digitech drop that serves this purpose well, but going from standard to dropped that way was cool

[@zMPHz]

Haha, I got the "Top Tips For Guitarists" video by Rob Chapman as the top suggested video :D

[@jackonj9050]

lol me too

[@SonOfWalhall]

My jaw dropped as much as the tuning. Holy damn, so smooth!

[@divico404]

So if I want to play a 7 string I can use this to switch the b string to match e standard tuning aswell by just leaving the sweetspot? The tuning stability is gone than right ?

[@twohornedpuppet85]

Been doing this for years. Good on you for spreading the idea.

[@RidvanDuzey]

And on the right, an Andertons video with Rob Chapman, lovely haha!

[@AafeeUmar]

Hey Ola I have a question When you use the tuning pegs to go from standard to drop tuning and vice versa, doesn't the tension get affected? Wouldn't it be less convenient to chug or play riffs on the lower strings?

[@dekzan]

Did you find out ? I need that answer, too. Please, either ways, does it affect string tension ? Or Evertune always keep strings tight ?

[@virtuososo]

With his method, the low string would be in Zone 2 when dropped to C, but well out of Zone 2 in standard D. So that string would play as if on a fixed bridge at a D. Probably a decent trade-off since the dropped pitch is more susceptible to going sharp when attacked. Changing the tuning at the bridge with the key (slowest method) is the only way to be in Zone 2 for both.

[@vankazanjian3707]

You can do quick floyd tip like how to keep it in tune better and how to change tunings fast

[@lebyoungzhang4322]

Ola, pls, I have a question. I bought solar v1.6 artist , but when I dropped it from E standard to D# standard, I can’t bend.... what’s the problem??😭😭😭And sometimes the vibrato seems not so sensitive and kinda hard to bend , my hand hurts......(I am from China, my English sucks)

[@TheMetalGBG]

Så nära!!! "The captain meets Ola Englund" ^^

[@jonyoe4143]

Can't go wrong with a V. Awsome paint job as well. I will own one sooner or later. Hopefully sooner.

[@DRFHM]

COOL LOVE THE EVERTUNE BRIDGES!!!!!!!!

[@DRFHM]

I am sold.

[@DRFHM]

I am going to buy a solar guitar later.

[@Fedoseyev_Feodor]

Black and white, and dark blue when will it be on sale?

[@ProjectCreativityGuy96]

As well as I am musician dedicated myself, I always love watching your content. Your commercials and recommendations are sick Mahn!!!! Honestly, I know I may sound like a fan boy, but I love your work dude!!! ;) \m/

[@JeremyPringsheim]

But then doesn't that mean - in the last example - that whenever you're in standard, the Evertune is not engaged on the lowest string..? And so that string plays like any normal non-evertune guitar?

[@HeavyInstinct]

@Uncouth Rapscallion So if a person does it the way Ola did in the video won't that mean that the low E string will not be responsive to bends and vibrato? If I have understood the instructional videos I've seen correctly when he tunes from drop C up to d standard, wouldn't he have to go all the way through the dead zone right up to the very top end of it in order for that string to respond to bends?

[@kurisu-sensei1363]

Legit, there was a Rob Chapman video up next! You are a wizard, Ola sir.

[@goranlukic2035]

And what is deference betwen 2.and 3. Way of doing it. In both ofthem you tuning down the keys

[@alexandermays]

Can you tune the guitar down a whole step without adjusting the spring tension? Like say you want to play in D standard.

[@maurice6391]

Sorry i dont get it. You tune to drop c on the head, but not on the bridge?

[@DefyTheTyrant]

Ola, I need help. I have an Evertune guitar that cam standard...I tried going to drop A# but the tuning key won’t tune down past B. How can I fix this?

[@moss1transcendant]

How do I detune to drop knickers?

[@gokhanayvazoglu6295]

So, is that means can we tune our guitar any tuning with tuning pigs will be cause any damage or problems?

[@Shamashification]

This is exactly what I was wondering about. Thx Ola

[@Bflatest]

With this method you sharing you should get one of the Drop D tuning keys that has a lever for standard and drop toggle

[@a7xzombiekiller-130]

Wow so this is the one reason I was not wanting an everyone bridge I thought it would suck for changing tunings in general and not be easy to drop. After watching this and some other videos and educating myself man I want one so bad. Only thing sucks is not having a Floyd for fun whammy stuff but this will be great for a practice guitar, recording guitar, back up guitar at shows. It can do it all and be reliable which is great for confidence when playing with only one guitar and it being a Floyd. If a string pops your show is done it’s terrible but with a back up ever tune ready to go I know I’m covered.

[@w3zel]

man that sound is so rad

[@Scottzgar]

Do a video with the Dimebag rig, RH preamp, PQ4 and MXR eq!

[@austinfailz]

Wow, that is very clever. I don't have an evertune, and don't really have much of a yearning to get one, but that was very cool.

[@dominicparenti6260]

why couldn't Randall put one 6l6 and on kt88 in the satan 50 instead of two 6l6s. I don't know a ton about electronics but it seems like a thrasher with a few extra features

[@Ceminon]

Cool. Been loving the Evertune bridge, but I thought it'd be a pain in the ass to go to a drop tuning.

[@majso-profile]

Ola, there is 404 error when trying to open guitar detail on solar guitars page.

[@Raul1971xxx]

It is perfect for temperature changes and for rithm tracks.

[@peevee605]

The Solar V with Evertune....want it! Great vid, dude.

[@Lars_Bjerke]

Great tip, Ola :) waiting for my first evertune guitar.. keep em coming 👊🏼

[@charlesmagno28]

what can you say about the Digitech Drop? for droptuning?

[@bolaroberts]

Ola, Is this the A1.6ARTIST LTD - TRANS BLACK MATTE model?

[@bearvsshaan]

Just got a guitar with an evertune a couple days ago. Just to make sure I understand -- easier to tune it up than down?

[@damianacuna5413]

how do you get a good lead sound with a delay without tap tempo??

[@xXDeltazXx]

I really love the guitars man! Especially the S1. 6 ET LTD Poplar Burst. My calculations are telling me I can afford one October next year. So can't wait.

[@MARK-r6c3k]

Very cool, LOVE YOUR GUITARS! I may have to have one of those Vs

[@leppermagnetic]

Can you instal an evertune bridge on a floyd rose guitar?Ofc I would like to get rid off my floyd.

[@MasaTheSlayer]

Would really like to try evertune some day. Also really cool flying-v. I think that headstock fits that one better than those "regular" ones.

[@axelytreberg2364]

For your next q&a: I’m buying a Marshall DSL100H and i’m wondering what kind of cab i should get? What kind of cabs do you like? I perfer 4x12 obv...

[@dlpasco]

That was great, Ola, thank you. I was a little stuck on that problem.

[@toresubas7778]

Love your vidoes, keep 'em coming...

[@krisnot6470]

Question - if i do understand evertune correct - when you are sharpening the 6th string to go to D from C you are exceeding zone 3 and the evertune stops "working" and keeping forever in tune ur 6th string as a D, ye? It will be "forever" in tune when it is C cuz thats where you set the sweet spot (right before zone 3) of the saddle and sprigns are working to keep it in tune? It doesn't keep you from bending 6th string in both D and C that way tho so that might be pretty genius idea especially for live perfoming ^^

[@hockeycanada18]

KriSnot Just got an Ltd with an evertune today. To answer your question, the answer is you can actually tune up to standard from drop C after leaving zone 2. You can bend and vibrato too. The bridge then just works like a regular bridge on a guitar. Hope this helps. This technique Ola showed works, it’s so awesome!

[@krisnot6470]

Game_Changer9 Thank you for the answer mate! Btw is it an ltd eclipse or the MH-1000? :)

[@Savlo1]

What if you like to tune all strings down?

[@dreadveil]

Dude, that's slick af. Definitely using this. Cheers!

[@evilwarnings2419]

Great video! These bridges are amazing, hopefully they will add a tremolo soon

i ran into the problem that i could not drop the tones as much as i wanted because the springs in the back was aready at their loosest setting and ... when i tuned down one step the individual saddles started tu rumble a bit against eachother and the stops ... especiallywhen they were set so that bending is still possible ... is that normal or is there a solution ?

[@noamkakashy5592]

Lecker Pfannkuchen A proper setup should fix it.

[@matteoguitar]

wich is the lowest tuning that this king v can reach?

[@galentucci-boissonneault]

Got any trouble doing that with locking tuners?

[@CorvinRayne]

Hola, Ola. Love the offerings in your lineup of newly released Solar Guitars! Since you’re offering models pre-loaded with EverTune bridges, do you think you’ll ever offer a model with True Temperament frets?

[@jernogan]

i think theres a probleme with the solar site everytime i wanna check a guitar i get a 404 page :/

[@dekzan]

Please, either ways, does it affect string tension ? Or Evertune always keeps strings tight ?

Hey. How's workin bends on E6 when you are on D standard ? Same when you switch to C open? Thank you for the anwer. Cheers from a Dark Side ;))

[@tomix1970pl1]

Ola, how do you bend on this bridge?

[@orchestrasingular]

Question, is the solar 1.6-27 baritone in need of f spaced pickups?

[@chrismoore7359]

I'm sure you'll never see this but I'm wondering what was used to create that faux finish behind you? That's one hell of an accent wall! One that I'd love to reproduce here in the states for specific customers who appreciate that look...

[@HankGuitar05]

I am sorry if i ask so ola's method is basically tune the tuning head or like he say :just tune the bridge? cause I see the video he just tune the tuning head and guitar drop tune like a regular guitar without evertune sorry if my english is confusing~

[@BatuKMan1]

I see that Solar guitars appear in Thomann, congrats Ola!

[@SinanAkiman]

ola, hello from istanbul, big big fan… give me ur advice on guitar strap length :)) when i keep it low, better for gallops and muting but bad for soloing… keep it high and its complete opposite.. do you think a V guitar might be easier to manage, i can keep it low but prop up the guitar for soloing easier by resting V on my right leg? dumb question maybe but very frustrating issue for me.. any thoughts? thx.. .. n also thx for all the cool vids you put out, whether its gear or music, very very appreciated…

[@iamhungry4000]

where do you buy everttunnes?/

[@getreckt2926]

if you tune in the headstock, still will have been in tune as you tune in the evertune key?

[@noamkakashy5592]

José Allel In my experience, the answer will be a definite "No".

[@Defekcija]

Hello Ola from the past!

[@patrickmathias1152]

Ola, can i replace the floyd rose special for one Evertune bridge?

[@kissstickers827]

My evertune bridge saddle parts make weid buzzing any idea why?

[@grindwerks6212]

Do you mean "rattling"? Buzzing is usually a ground issue which is an electronic problem, while if the saddles are "rattling" from string resonance, you may want to make sure you have properly set up your bridge. There are two sets of action screws 8mm and 10mm, so you may want to switch to the whichever you are not using. Also, there is a built in dampening system to reduce rattles, so if your issue continues you may want to contact Evertune directly.

[@MrJuan2828]

que cuerdas usas para drp c and d?

[@kreator1545]

But don't you have to re setup the guitar neck after changing the tuning?

[@hellfinger6118]

Hi Ola. Do you know if it is possible to tune it in drop A. (guitar tune I B)

[@doum]

Hi ola what can i use for drop d tune string gauge with evertune bridge? Thanks!

[@epistaxis1395]

I recently got and ESP ltd mh 1000 with the evertune. I've watched a lot of videos on people opening them out the box and be in tune. I had mine setup from the company I ordered from in drop A, with 70-14 gage ghs string. When it arrived,, it was not in tune. And wouldn't stay in tune at all. Have you ever set this bridge system to this low of a tuning ? And if so did it work???

[@noamkakashy5592]

joseph neff It's possible, but it seems you need a new setup.

[@epistaxis1395]

Noam Kakashy,, I already paid for a setup, frets leveled and bone nut!! Had more buzz than a bee. I already sent it back.

[@noamkakashy5592]

joseph neff Well that sucks. You sent it back for repair or for refund? In any case, I hope you'll get it sorted out.

[@omarbiagi7]

Good idea, but for my experience on LTD mh1000, a string detuned this way doesn't stay in tune much time. Does yours do?

[@phileddy3219]

Is there a possibility to get one of the artist models?

[@stephenchow5161]

great. how well does it stay in tune when in standard?

[@addeh666]

Does that method you use mean that the evertune acts like a normal bridge and therefor the string can go out of tune? Once you leave your droptuning position/zone and starting turning the guitartuner that is

[@noamkakashy5592]

Ante Korv Correct.

[@dereklonardo7558]

New to watch your video's what's up! Derek from Boston ma. What do usually tuned to? Thanks

[@NRiqueRoSer]

I love your guitars 😍

[@kostrov.design]

Обалденно! Смотрел много отзывов. Но, к сожалению, цена этой гитары в России около 200.000 рублей. А при зарплате в 30.000 - это просто никогда не случится. Спасибо за обзоры, Ола!
