    Upgrading Strat Squier Pickups

    The important question is, what type of sound do you want to achieve? I don't know what your budget is, but i am not sure if those pickups will make a huge difference compared to the stock ones from a Squier Strat.

    Wrist Pain When Playing Standing Up?

    Introduction to Power Chords and Palm Muting – Lesson 18

    I seem to hit, a lot, the 6th string while doing the D powerchord and have to really focus and look at my strumming hand while strumming to avoid hitting and playing it. Should that string be muted with the 2nd finger/thumb or is it just practice?
