    If you have a specific question I would be happy to answer it in a message but if you are looking for a general bunch of new things your can do I would check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d7WhlSBoGU as weird as it is I think it is a pretty good trick guide. If you are looking how to work on it I would just look up a video on it. Maybe there will be a section on the site as a lesson from syn or papa gates on how to properly set up a floyd (seeing as it is a real process to restring one).

    I love all about the floyd, I mean, itś a whole world when it comes to this. But at the same time, I hate it hahaha I’ve been having intonation issues everytime I use the tremolo and I feel like there’s a lot to know about this kind of situation, cause it makes me think about getting a new guitar with hard tail. I would like to know if you guys know how to deal with this (without changing the system, cause is so f**ing expensive where I live)

    I myself have started playing guitar with a hard bridge guitar (Epiphone SG). And when I got my synyster Schecter I was kind of lost to be honest.
    All what I knew was how to dive bomb (which don’t get me wrong, it’s freakin awesome). I wasn’t sure what was the Floyd rose there for.
    And yes,also in the beginning I had some issues with tunning and changing strings. But I got used after some time…
    You will see that tunning is the best with a floyd rose, well for me it is, haha.
    I think that you should take a look at Eddie VH, David Gilmour, dimebag, Steve Vai for some, let’s say, inspiration and Ideas. Or you could just make your own thing – but that is up to you.
    I hope that I helped you In some way, mate!!
    Have a good one and keep up!!’n

    Satriani’s “Lizard down the throat” is a nice Floyd trick. YouTube has demos direct from Joe.
    The bar presents a nice gentle vibrato if you have an easy touch. See Chris Isaak’s Wicked Game for a great demo of that.
    Satch has a LOT of great whammy techniques, as does Mr. Vai, and both offer detailed video explanations.
