      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.

      @MrCrabs-ue9sx Год назад

      @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.

    • @brettjames9088
      @brettjames9088 9 месяцев назад +17

      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.

    It didn't just feel like that, it was exactly like that as my first guitar was an old junk with a broken truss rod made in eastern-block that I literally pulled out of the trash. Of course I didn't even know what a truss rod is back then, let alone have any idea it wasn't supposed to be like that.
