    I changed strings recently, now the guitar only performs half step bends on the G string

    Solved!!! the problem has been resolved. I must start with a deep apology on my end. I said the G string was not wound. IT IS Wound. just looking at it it looks smooth like the b and e string. But someone suggested running your finger nail along it. It had grooves. It was wound. I put...

    I changed strings recently, now the guitar only performs half step bends on the G string

    Sorry for the delay. the g string is NOT wound. It is just like the B and High E string. Just a wire. No windings around the string. Also, I played an open A and later an open Bass E string as I bent the G note. The open notes didn’t change pitch at all. That tells me the bridge is not moving...

    I changed strings recently, now the guitar only performs half step bends on the G string

    Yeah sorry I really didn't intend this post to be so long. They are D'Addario strings. the box says nickle wound. I'm not sure what that means about the G string. It was at one point set up for 9's and I asked a tech to set it up for 10's, I believe. Can't be 100% sure. So i've been using...

    I changed strings recently, now the guitar only performs half step bends on the G string

    Ok I’ve attached a video of the problem. I’ll play a note on the G string and then go back to frets to bend to that pitch (whole step bend). It won’t sound right. It’s only a half step sound even though I’m bending a whole step. I’ll also do the same thing on the B string and it will sound...

    I changed strings recently, now the guitar only performs half step bends on the G string

    Sorry everyone I tried making a video but it looks like to share the video it has to be on a media sharing site like instagram or something. I thought I could just drop it in here. I kept getting errors. I don't have any sharing sites. I've never posted a video or any media here before. Is...

    I changed strings recently, now the guitar only performs half step bends on the G string

    Sorry for the delay everyone. So I tried playing an open A string while bending the G. The A stays in tune. So probably not the bridge moving. I usually use daddario strings. I don’t think the G string on those are wound. But I’m not sure what I had on there before. I believe the E A and D...

    I changed strings recently, now the guitar only performs half step bends on the G string

    The open G string retains pitch. The saddle looks ok, I don’t see movement. It is a floating trem (goes back and forth) Again this only happens to the G string. I believe it is happening to the other wound strings too but I don’t really bend those a whole step So I cant really tell. I’ve tried...

    I changed strings recently, now the guitar only performs half step bends on the G string

    Thanks for all the responses everyone. I’ll try to be clearer on what is happening. I’m physically performing a full step bend on the g string. But it only produces a 1/2 step pitch sound. so if I physically bend the g string on the 12th fret a full whole step it only produces a G sharp sound...

    I changed strings recently, now the guitar only performs half step bends on the G string

    Sorry I should have mentioned. I took out that string and tried another new one. Did the same 1/2 step bend. So it’s not the strings.

    I changed strings recently, now the guitar only performs half step bends on the G string

    I noticed something very odd after I changed strings on my Les Paul. On the G string if I perform a whole step bend it only sounds like a half step bend. It does this on every fret. The guitar is in tune. I’m using 10’s. The bends are correct on the B and high E string. It had been a couple of...

    Fractal Audio Artist Preset Series - Steve Stevens

    The pdf instruction that came with this preset pack say the presets are set up for External 1 and External 2. Using the Axe FX III at least for me the expression pedal 2 is not set to External 2 in the Playboys preset and the Rebel Yell Preset I think. It is set to Pedal 1 or 2 or something...

    Guitar Specific DAW that is loop based?

    I’m looking for something similar to what Riffworks does. Riffworks is like a daw but different. it lets you record small guitar measures with a drum track and form songs quickly. It is like a riff based DAW. The only problem is that riffworks is now almost 10 years old and is a little dated. I...

    Recording all sound with with Photobooth or Quicktime

    On a Mac, is there any way to record a backing track playing on the computer and the guitar signal from the Axe FX III or II? I'm using the Axe FX as the soundcard hooked to the Mac via USB. photobooth and quicktime only record the guitar signal from the Axe FX. I'm kinda confused cause I...
