I watched the video with Dime explaining it, I like how he teaches it but I really needed to see it in HD. I also liked how you were explaining every little detail of what's you're doing. thanks for doing this video. I'm new to guitar but I'd love to practice this technique. R.I.P. Dime the legend

great tutorial man, now i just need a guitar with a floyd rose 😭

[@StusWorld]

Haha. Make sure you want a FR guitar. I don’t think I’ll ever buy another FR again. I don’t use it a lot and it’s such a pain in the butt to restring compared to hard tail guitars. Keep shredding 🤘🤘

[@Zilushy]

@@StusWorld Its gets better with time. Unless changes in tuning. Also restringing happens like twice a year with good gear. Also if u add whammy for dime squeals they are longer.

[@manmeet2670]

So me🤕🤐

[@johnwardle9667]

Floyd rose bridge. There are a lot of downsides. I find there's more unwanted string reverberation. It really tests your muting. And you can bend the notes out of tune if you palm mute with too much pressure. I find once the new strings are stretched, the tuning isn't a problem. Restringing is a bit more work, and can be annoying. I've seen a few things that modern, non-locking nut tremolo bridges with locking tuners can take the same amount of abuse as an FR. Not sure they have the same range of movement but come with fewer downsides. Could be worth a look. But I find I play FR guitars more than anything else, so I'm pretty used to it by now.

Thanks for showing how to do this CORRECT. I've seen a number of videos simply showing the "standard" of picking the harmonic and not flicking/depressing the trem.

[@StusWorld]

That is exactly why I felt like doing this. Picking the harmonic is just fine but there’s such a ballsy sound with the flick and dump. It’s small but it definitely adds to the technique. 🤘🤘

[@taxationistheft2.0]

fun fact. harmonics can be found in different spots of the picking hand. picking closer to the bridge or closer to the neck also changes the pitch of the harmonic

[@slowvertiblefoxbody6604]

Another cool thing he did to achieve even higher pitch was to use the wah peddle to pitch it up , for example at the end of cemetery gates he did that technique to get that long high pitch note. Awesome video !!

Just got myself a Jackson pro series king v with a Floyd rose i nailed a squeal on the first try. I didn’t use dimes technique I picked the string instead but I got it. I used dimes flick and dump technique and eventually got a decent squeal

[@StusWorld]

That’s awesome, Jacob! Whether you’re picking or flicking it still such a fun technique to pull off. Keep shredding 🤘

[@MrMbeck1100]

Minor Non-Pro tip: If you achieve enough slack in the string while the bar is dumped then it will naturally start to vibrate as the tension is restored so you can actually get away with just a bar dump without the flick.

[@StusWorld]

Very true. That’s how I did it for years. These days I’m pretty much over whammy bars and Floyd roses. Haha. 🤘🤘

[@charlieboudreau5172]

[@StusWorld]

Absolutely! His guitar tech would turn off the gate and he would activate the wah pedal. He loved making that guitar SCREAM! RIP Dime! Watch it go!

@@StusWorld I was testing out the harmonic squeals today with the wah pedal engauged + noise gate off + tube screamer drive + volume on full along with my randall amp natural high gain tone and MANNNN it makes a HUGE difference in getting those squeals to sustain for a long time if you want.... and far more accurate.

Great video, question tho, when you pull the floyd up, do you go all the way until the block hits? Does it cause tuning problems often?

The double locking system of FR keeps the tuning in check.

[@mjbreviews4902]

Great video man I love seeing these videos would you believe me if I told u I could do it on a normal bridge guitar hence why I never need a floyd

[@jasonnielsen5976]

Let me explain the why? on the wah pedal, with the toe down, it elevates the level of sustain on the note, if you crank up the reverb and add a touch of delay, the mythical 2nd fret harmonic that you hear at the very end of Cemetery Gates, it sings in the most angelic fashion imaginable. without the way and such, you can hit the note, but getting it to last more than a second or two really isn't realistic.

Now that’s a real guitar! Their JS series is just dumb. Good guitars but the licensed Floyd rose is just pathetic. It’s crap. I got sick of mine. It’s usable, you just can’t beat it. It’ll go out of tune or raise higher in tune. It’s pretty annoying

[@StusWorld]

Yeah. The JS series definitely comes with a compromise in the bridge. It’s a great beginner/budget guitar but I mentioned in my JS review that the bridge is a concern. I even made a “torture test” video on the licensed FR just to demonstrate that it will slip, but you already know that. Haha.

[@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03]

Stu's World I did get mine to stay in tune actually when I had it. It came with 3 springs, I put one more in it so it had 4. I adjusted the springs and I the bridge height and messed around with the tuning trying to get the guitar to hold tuning stability. I had to do so much crap to get it to maintain stability. So it stayed in tune. But if I used the bridge too hard (pushing it down all the way and shaking the shit outa it)... I couldn’t bend the bridge backwards in standard tuning. Literally. The bridge worked good in standard tuning, doing dive bombs and ascends and all that, but I was afraid that I’d break a string on it if I pull the bridge back to do some Dimebag stuff in standard tuning. I broke strings on it before doing that. The bridge works good in lower tuning actually. I could get full use of it... but yeah it goes out of tune if abused. I did get it to work good though, by adding that extra spring and tuning it and adjusting stuff. It just can’t take hard abuse like the original. The original is so damn good. Thing is a blast

[@SKRooU2]
