If you like my work and want to help me in any way, consider sending a Pix to chave [email protected] FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Do you have any technical knowledge about this? Are you a professional in the area? A: I have been a multi-instrumentalist musician for over 15 years, but I am not actually a luthier and, therefore, I do not have extensive knowledge in the area of repairs and adjustments. However, I learned the technique I teach in the video from none other than Dan Erlewine, one of the most renowned luthiers today. If you don't like it, complain to him, not me. Isn't it better to take it to a professional so that he can do everything right and not run the risk of ruining the instrument? A: Yes. Why are you watching this video then? It is aimed at people who DON'T want to pay a fortune to a luthier, as well as people who have a DIY personality like me. Wouldn't it have been enough to just hit the fret down with a hammer? A: In many cases this is enough, but it doesn't always work. In this case, I had already tried this and the only other option was to pay 150 reais to a luthier, so I preferred to do it myself. You're doing it wrong!!! You don't know anything!!! You'll ruin the fret and the instrument!!! A: As I mentioned before, the technique I present in the video is nothing more than a simplified and homemade version of the one taught by Dan Erlewine, from the famous American luthier channel StewMac. If even he does it that way, why wouldn't I? The difference is that he uses professional equipment and I don't. The string on my instrument frets even open, without pressing any frets. What could it be? A: A simple tension adjustment on the neck will probably solve the problem, but, in addition to the truss rod, there could be a problem with the nut and/or the bridge. Check all of this. I'm afraid of making a mistake and ruining the instrument. A: Take it to a professional then. I'm not pointing a gun at your head and forcing you to follow my homemade tip. I decided to take a chance and it worked because I did it well, but I can't guarantee that everyone will do it the same way. I'll subscribe to your channel for more tips like this!!! A: My channel has a lot of diverse content, not just about music/instruments. I'll probably never make a video like this again, so to avoid future frustrations, don't subscribe just for that. Are you a George Harrison lookalike? A: No, but I get asked that so much that I'm thinking about being one haha.
