Effin thats what was messing with me! So I lowered the strings and VOILA sweeping like Muhammed Suicimez (not quite ) but now my strings feel a little spaghettish. I tune down to DGCFAD and use 11-48s anything that can be done or am I just used to breaking fingers to bend? If its just what Im used to then I can get over it quickly but if I should be using bigger strings I'd like to know... But yeah thank God I didn't have any annoying spring/floating trem issues like I thought You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

After a few hours the strings seemed too adapt too their current tuning and played perfectly (unless it was actually a problem such as the flloyd not being parallel too the body). I tune down too CGCFAD and use 9,11,16,26,36,46 on one of my guitars, never had a problem with it. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Should I check the rest of em or if one is right does that mean the rest are. I'd check it now anyway but I'm rather sick today and not in any mood to even touch a guitar O.o You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

For details here's a tuning tutorial. Cheers You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!
