Zen & The Art Of Guitar Maintenance #8 - "Learn to adjust the truss rod of your guitar!"

Do you feel comfortable adjusting the truss rod of your guitar? Or... is it a task you tend to avoid and even be scared of doing? Today I will teach you to adjust your guitar truss rod, be it Gibson, Fender, Ibanez, Yamaha or whatever brand, as long as the truss rod adjusting nut is located at the headstock, or accessible without loosening the strings at the body end of the neck. Adjusting truss rod is the one task that a lot of players are for some reason reluctant to do. This video will help you understand how exactly does the truss rod of your guitar work, and offer precise, easy-to-follow instructions so you'll feel confident to learn this essential skill yourself! This is the episode 8 in our series "Zen & The Art Of Guitar Maintenance", dedicated to teach you detailed techniques how to make the most out of your instrument. Remember - a well cared for guitar will inspire you to play more... and playing more equals at becoming a better player! Despite the fact that I'm using on these videos instruments from a variety of brands for demonstration purposes, I'm not affiliated with any of them... ... except my own brand Ruokangas, of course. Thank you Harri Koski / Mad Professor Amplification for borrowing this custom shop Gibson Les Paul to us! https://ruokangas.com
