Guitar Noise Forums

What kind of recorder are you using---most of the videos I see of local talent in my area are taken on someones crappy iPhone, and there are too many people talking/walking in front to enjoy the show

Great stuff---much better with the camera out front!

Those guitars come with Medium Jumbo frets---a light touch is essential---keep practicing, and you will get it!

Sounds to me like you are fretting the strings much too hard, since your problem worsens as you get closer to the nut.

Superglue fixes are not l...

Stick with right-handed---your left hand does most of the work that way---you should have an advantage over right-handed people, and you will find it a LOT easier to buy guitars in the future!
