Stop Fret Buzz - How far to turn your truss rod & the direction to turn it

Got annoying fret buzz? This video shows you how to eliminate it by a simple truss rod adjustment.

It also shows you which direction you should turn your truss rod and how much you should turn it.

Three Keys To a Healthy Guitar

You probably already knew that adjusting your truss rod is only one of 3 big parts to completing a full guitar setup. To have a healthy guitar – a guitar that sounds great, feels great, and plays great – every time you play.

After you adjust the truss rod, you’ll still need to properly change your guitar strings, check and adjust the intonation, the bridge, and the string height. Only then will you have performed a complete guitar setup.


Most of the time, there will be a guitar shop near you who offers to do this for you – sometimes they will even scare you into thinking if you attempt to do it yourself you’ll break your guitar, or that to “properly” make the adjustments you need special and expensive guitar tools.


But the reality is – what they are doing to your guitar can easily be done by you, with tools you already own, in your home. And it will save you hundreds of dollars per year if you know how to do it yourself.


I discovered this myself when I was a teenager – I took my guitars to the shop and they were trying to charge me $400 to have my guitars adjusted. I didn’t have that kind of money when I was younger, and I didn’t have any other option than to figure out how to do it myself.


I did what any other hard headed teen would do – I told the guitar shop I’d figure it out myself even if I broke my guitar in the process and I went mission to figure out how to setup my own guitars. After hours of reading books, scouring the internet forums, and talking with other guitarist – I found that it was actually really simple to do myself.


In fact, it’s so easy to setup your own guitar most people make it difficult by over thinking it, which is why they have trouble figuring out the process.


Over the past 15 year I've perfected my process, and now I can setup my own guitars in about 5 minutes.


I finally realized that other people too want to learn how to setup their guitars themselves, but don’t have the time research it the way that I did when I was younger…


So I came up with this solution – The Complete Guide To In Home Guitar Setup – with it you won’t have to pay a guitar shop to do simple adjustments for you ever again and you’re guitar will sound and play like new every time you use this process.


You might have thought a course like this would be a costly because of the amount of savings it will bring you, and it used to be...

I really believe these are things every guitar player should know, so I refunded everyone who purchased the course. Just go to the link below to get your free copy.

Update
There seems to have been some confusion on which direction to turn the truss rod on your guitar. While 90% of guitars function this way they don't all.. The point of this video is to just make it crystal clear which way to turn the truss rod in under most circumstances.

Some have commented that this video is incorrect and you should turn the truss rod the other direction. However it's a matter of perspective. The video is only correct if you are looking at the guitar belly to belly - from the body of the guitar to the nut of the guitar. The truss rod should be turned the opposite direction if you are looking at the guitar from the nut to the body.

Please take a look at these images from Sweetwater Sound and Taylor Guitars for further clarification.
