A New Groove for your Guitar!
I wanted to order a Passerelle bridge for my guitar, but it was $80 and out of stock.
Soooo ... that got me to thinking that I could order any bridge and get it in two days, then I could just etch out a channel to fit over the frets. The softer the wood, the easier the channel groove, so I ordered a rosewood bridge and it worked perfect the first time.
Here is a link to the bridge that I ordered ... amazon.com/gp/product/B015AUNPP6/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B015AUNPP6&linkCode=as2&tag=thelonepipe0e-20&linkId=9dfb2bee2cc60aedfba9afbb04954a87
The video is self-explanatory (I am actually playing the bridge for the first time in the video) and the process is relatively simple, but if you have any questions just put them in the comments. Once you have your double bridge built, you can place it on any fret and use any tuning on the strings. The 12th fret would give you unison notes on either side of the bridge. The 17th fret (12+5) give you perfect fifths on the righthand side and the 15th fret (12 +3) is great for doing minors. I used two tunings in the video and played two different guitars so you could see the versitility.
For the completed bridge music, I am jamming to this backing track that I recorded ... youtu.be/BuCwglF-wus
For the building of the bridge, the background music is this tune that I wrote ... youtu.be/dRr5hGzWCqc
