      nope nothing like that when you first start your fingers dont seem to want to move , you then start doing spider drills to get the m to move and your picking hand hits the wrong strings from time to time , its slow going and you have to tough it out , if you are doing it right your fingers are aching at the tips , to say this is how a beginner can sound is a bad expectation this is a year down the road at least

      I paid a guy $100 to tune up my guitar (Clapton Strat with 11's as far off the fretboard as I could get 'em) and he put Ernie Ball 9's on it and lowered the action as low as it could go. I just wanted him to fix my cable jack which was loose, clean it up and put some new *good* strings on there and that's all he did. Needless to say, I sat right there playing the fuck out of every guitar in his shop until he fixed it. "Luthier" my ass.

      the problem might be because the action is too high but most guitar players will also try to press down as less as possible and by that i mean just enough for the string to be touching the fretboard

    • @songs4change

      Pushing too hard will wear your fingers out. It's more to do with finger and wrist placement and...muscle memory. Might also be the action being too high like on this video lol strings should be as close as possible to the frets without buzzing.

    Absolutely Yes to longer episodes! I do know that the second book is the shortest of the Pentology but I can’t imagine the Fifth book having as short a runtime as this one did. The Last Olympian packs so much in 129,000 words.
    I think people are over exaggerating just how mature this series gets. There’s definitely a tonal shift in the third book and more mature underlying themes get added as the series progresses but it never becomes quite as dark as Harry Potter’s later books did.

      @AutoSonic depends on what kind of guitar, but there is a rod that runs through the neck. That needs to be tightened to lower the strings. There is a little plastic cover on the bottom of the headstock. That's where you tighten the rod. Should be an hex key( Allen wrench) of some sort.
      Also the bridge nut on the body may need to be lowered. That requires removing all strings. Pulling the nut out of the bridge base and sanding the bottom edge of the nut with some 80 or 100 grit sandpaper flat on a table. It won't take much.

      The guitar def gonna sound good if you got high action, question is whether you can play it.
      They reckon SRV used anything from 12 to 17 gauge strings and ridiculously high action. His tech would raise it until he ran out of screw thread.
      This guy seems heavy influenced by Texas blues so probably copying him.
      The odd thing is SRV probably tuned down half a tone or so like Hendrix which would negate a lot of the effect of heavier strings and high action.
      Either way, if you can play it like that, it sounds like bells ringing.
