    Adjusting String Action with a Floyd Rose

    Ok, I detuned the strings and removed the springs to release tension, and the action didn’t seem to change much when I adjusted the knife edges. Did I not rotate the bolts enough?

    Adjusting String Action with a Floyd Rose

    Hey guys, does anyone know how to properly adjust string action on a guitar with a Floyd Rose? I was playing my guitar that has a Floyd Rose the other day, and I realized the string height is higher on my Floyd Rose guitar compared to my other guitar that doesn’t have a floating bride system...

    Building Alternate Picking Speed

    I feel like its my picking hand. The hard part for me is going between the two strings, I’ll kind of trip up and accidentally hit a string when I don’t mean to. I don’t feel much tensions or anything either, I’m really trying to focus on the accents and form

    Blues Theory

    Unless the key is A# major? Then it’d be a I to V chord progression, and the C would be C Dorian, which makes more sense to me.

    Blues Theory

    Hey guys, I have a question about some theory. There’s a song called Cissy Strut by The Meters. The main lick is played in C Minor pentatonic, but the chords behind it are A# major and F major. How are they able to play a C Minor pentatonic over a IV to I chord progression that’s in F major? In...
