Recidivist 1 Posted October 20, 2006 Supposedly they recorded that in one take with zero overbubs. One easy way to improve speed & fluidity is by lowering your string action. Is yours as low as it could be? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electric Mayhem 35 Posted October 20, 2006 One easy way to improve speed & fluidity is by lowering your string action. Is yours as low as it could be? I could cut grooves into the neck and put the strings below the fretbaord - ain't NO way I'm ever going to be able to play that fast. Honestly - I have no idea how high my action is. once I get better I'll think about adjusting all that stuff. For now I think higher is better anyway so I can develop good technique and be able to play any guitar and not just one that's custom adjusted to play easy. plus i may get another acoustic someday and generally those strings are high and tough from what I recall...

Recidivist 1 Posted October 20, 2006 You're right - acoustics generally have higher action. I respect your discipline in not wanting to take shortcuts. That said, I don't think you would be cheating yourself one bit by lowering the action on your electric. Find a good tech and tell him what you want. If you're guitar is easier to play, you'll be able to develop your technique more quickly. Just a suggestion Also, I was of course kidding re that solo being a first take.
