The accompanying pdf guide (free) at GuitarGnosis gives MUCH more detailed instruction on how to set up your tremolo and trem bar to achieve the flutter technique. High resolution pictures are included. You don’t want to miss it!
Have you ever wanted to get the flutter technique out of your floyd rose tremolo? Look no further! In this video and pdf guide, I’m going to show you how to set up your tremolo bar to achieve the flutter technique. Even if you aren’t looking to use it, this guide will help you get your trem bar much more stiff, and get it to stay up when necessary.
The flutter technique is when you flip the tip of your trem bar, and the springs in the back of the guitar vibrate rapidly. This creates a ‘phoodbluhbldoobluh’ sound, which can be quite nice when used sparingly, and for effects.
In the video, I show you how to set up a push in bar, and a screw in bar. The push in bar is on an Ibanez Jem77b BRMR Bad Horsie guitar (mirror finish), and the tremolo is an Edge Pro. The other screw in bar is on a standard Floyd Rose copy (might be a Gotoh) on some cheap Jackon Kelly or K-10 guitar.
Whether you have a screw in bar or a push in bar, this guide will help you set up your trem for the flutter technique, and stiffen it to have precise pressure so it’ll stay up when you need it. The nail polish method, and the teflon tape method (plumber’s tape method) are both discussed here
Have fun!
