    What makes your playing uniquely you?

    I have a distinct inability to remember songs or solos, so thereby improv a lot *coughwnkingcough* when I'm jamming with others..

    Is it light ? The only V I've had was super light so would have been great for standing. Hated sittting with it though !

    Will you please help me fix my amp

    You have a Line 6 Spider ? * Did you try the listening through headphone jack instead of using the speaker ? That should confirm your cable/guitar are both working. * If you aren't hearing anything out of your headphones, then get another cable to test with. * If possible, take your...

    Comment by 'Forgetabull' in media 'Chord Review'

    Well done! What I'd like to see you focus on next is to keep your strumming even. It's ok to strum the strings "whilst you're in transition between chords". If you listen to enough accoustic songs, you'll notice that when some people are strumming, they'll strum with all their fingers off...

    Guitar I wanna get better as a guitarist as a lead / rhythm

    This +1 You'll be surprised, you can often hit the wrong note and/or chord and people won't generally notice if you have that rhythm locked in. Also, once you get good at counting beats/feeling that rhythm, it allows you to pick up mid song if you're playing with others.

    It's hard to get good photos of the saddle for comparisons but... My old crappy dying plastic saddle next to a full height new saddle. The slight difference in heights. Also I should have used a straight edge to sand the plastic nut. You can see the slight height difference again.

    Here's a site that shows when you should adjust your truss rod: https://www.guitarbitz.com/pages/trussrod-adjustment With what I see of your first picture, I don't think you need to adjust it. 10-52s should be fine for that guitar, I'm thinking you just need to sand that saddle down a bit...

    That's the saddle.

    How straight does the neck look ? If the neck doesn't have an obvious front bow (bending towards the front of the guitar). Then we shouldn't have to worry about the truss or strings tension being to high (basically if your guitar was expecting 10s or 11s and you put on 13s etc). The saddle is...

    Start with your saddle. Need lowering a lot. Your strings at the 12th fret should be around 1.5-2mm off that fret depending on how high an action you like and how levels the frets are. You should also check your intonation once you have lowered your saddle. Typically you only adjust the...

    Comment by 'Forgetabull' in media 'More Chord Practice'

    You've improved a lot, well done :) Not related: you do look like you have a ton of extra string on your low E though..

    Comment by 'Forgetabull' in media 'Help! Muted E String'

    I think it's a couple of things. Sit on the edge of your chair, that will allow you to have your back more straight and potentially not have the guitar tilted towards you. You're quite bent over your guitar so you can see your fingers, but that same bending over makes it harder to get your...

    Beginner Chord Question

    Something you can also do is just practice the fretting hand position swap without strumming. Let's say you just spend 5/10/15mins infront of the tv just practicing your hand movement from em to am, you'll fairly quickly stop thinking about where your fingers need to go and they'll just go...

    Spaz fingers

    Play slower and concentrate on your finger position. You'll find they flail when you go a bit fast.
