Hey Yash
 Congrats once again on your new guitar! I watched the video and here's what I suggest in order for your rhythm playing to become tight as an industrial sewing machine: - timing - you need to become able to stay on the beat - regardless if you use a metronome or a backing track or play with people - groove - learning how to sustain a pulse and give the rhythm that extra something that makes people nod their heads is the one ingredient that EVERY player needsto master, regardless if he plays rhythm, lead, or both! - clean playing - you should get rid of the unwanted noises and dodgy chord/position changes that make your playing sound dirty - tightness - when you don't land a chord in the exact moment it should be played and if the chord change is not clean, the playing sounds shaky and not in perfect synch with the backing or band - you want to avoid this - being in tune - you need to take care for your guitar to be tuned each time you play, not to mention each time you record To make all these things happen, you need patience and focus and being able to play something short as well and tight as possible. How about learning this lesson and posting a recording? https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/rhythm-gu...c-metal-rhythm/ It will definitely help you out on setting all these things straight

QUOTE (Todd Simpson @ Nov 19 2014, 03:15 AM)  The only other option besides a DTUNA For doing drop D and keeping standard E available is to get a really tall/long fine tuner screw for your E. You can buy an entire set for pretty cheap They are just taller than regular screws so that you can tune up/down further.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Extra-Long-Floyd-R...=item4ad84eafb7 [attachment=39869:longfinetuners.jpg] of course, you wanna make sure the screws are compatible so you'd wanna contact whoever you buy them from to make sure. The shipping costs me more than those fine tuners  Wowie.... And, I don't think you can replace them... Or can you ? They won't come off That's the whole point, right ?

Oh, and an update on my guitar. Travis (spasemoonkey) told me to stretch the strings, which I did. Now it doesn't go out of tune anymore, at least not as easily, AND the E string doesn't go down to D anymore 
Oh well.. let's see. RIght now I have to play in Standard tuning, so no problems. And I get the feeling I messed up the action and stuff.
