I blocked off the trem completely on my Parker Nitefly, but have recently been wondering if I should un-block. My biggest concern is, changing pitch inadvertantly with palm mutes, etc. Is that something you have to get used to/adapt your style for? If so, I may wait until I have more than 1 guitar for gigs.

Thanks so much Ben!! I really don't have much background using trem, but after reading so much/learning so much these last 6 months at GMC......why am I "limiting" myself, and my musical expression?
Hey Gabe, you should be able to palm mute without affecting the pitch.. it just takes a little adjusting and being mindful of how much pressure you're putting on the strings. You can even slightly make the notes go sharp on a fixed bridge guitar too if you mute too heavily so it's not just a whammy thing -------------------- Check out my awesome Nintendo Cover-band, EMULATOR!! http://www.reverbnation.com/emulator Now.....go practice!! |

Thanks for the input all!
I'll be taking it back to my guitar tech to get it set up and adjusted properly. He's not very expensive, and has the tools and know-how. I don't, and would rather focus on making music and playing, and leave the repairs to the repair guys! But that's just me. -------------------- Check out my awesome Nintendo Cover-band, EMULATOR!! http://www.reverbnation.com/emulator Now.....go practice!! |
