That is true. QUOTE (Terry @ Mar 30 2008, 07:54 PM) the larger the frets the less pressure you have to put on the string (think scalloped fretboards but not as intense) which is why almost all shredders will use the biggest frets, but if you have a heavy grip then you may sound out of tune. so allot of really aggressive players will use medium frets. so it comes down to the individual taste and preference. hope this helps. Actually I just played another guitar with small frets a few hours ago and i think your right. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
