Joe Walsh is the guitarist from the legendary band The Eagles. He gives us a lesson on his process for setting up a guitar.
Setting up your instrument involves adjusting your guitars hardware to ensure no issues such as string buzz or intonation problems occur.
A guitar that is properly setup will not only sound better but will play better too. If you’re a serious guitarist, you should ensure that your guitar is setup comfortably. You can also take your guitar to a luthier to have it done on your behalf.
This demonstration takes place on a Gibson Les Paul. Joe also dedicates the tutorial to Les Paul, creator of the legendary guitar.
This tutorial includes:
- Stretching strings
- Truss rod adjustment
- Tuning up with harmonics
- Intonation
- Action
- Pickup height
- A Jimmy Page secret
