Play your new guitar for 5 years then you can start to change things. Just learning the basics of music theory and gaining muscle memory in one’s mind and hands is the challenge. Sure you can change ...

I’ll be in Vegas to see Dead and Co. At the sphere July 12 but I have some more time off that I may be able to catch another show or just meet up with someone if there’s anyone in town July 11-14.

As others have said, your setup is pretty standard, except for the RKL. I've never played a guitar that lowered 5 a whole step on this lever. It seems that RKL is the lever that you see the most varia ...

RKL - whole step 5 / ++ 1
Assuming this is not a typo, I think that lowering B to A on string 5 would be prett ...

Thanks for all the input you guys! I’ll carry on as is and commit to learning what my levers are. The left knee levers +/- the E’s is actually nice. It’s the right knee levers that are the wild ...
