Mettere su le corde della chitarra con il metodo di Frudua

Last night, while watching a ball game with stratoh4x0r junior, I decided to restring using the method described in the charming video posted by Galleazo Frudua, an Italian luthier.  Aside from specifying a great deal of judicious string-stretching, the novelty seems to be the idea of repeating this process for each string:
repeat
    string.tune()
    bar.slamDown()
    bar.release()
until string.isInTune() 
Fudua stresses that, having done this, one should not touch the tuners when the guitar goes out of tune - just hit and release the bar. He also says that the last thing one does after a solo should be to hit and release the bar.  It seems to work pretty well, and it does make sense.

I note that in another video of his in which he talks about tuning issues and locking tuners, he doesn't espouse the 1,2,3,3,4,5 O'Clock settings as everyone else seems to.  Instead, he seems to use 6 O'Clock for everything.  Hmmm.
