Oh and I almost forgot I love your guitar can I have it? And also can you give us tips about the height of the strings on the guitar? And what about Pitch bends with the tremolo bar and from a scale from 1 to 10 what do you give the Floyd Rose Locking System on keeping the guitar in tune? And also what about Palm harmonics?

[RandyBakkelund]

Awesome man! I'm finally slapping because of this lesson! I just gotta perfect it a bit with more practice! Now i want to learn more pattern combinations!

[Tycazes]

Good lesson and nice tips 👌 fun to try for a beginner like me

[marcvermeiren]

If I try to slap, the sound is more like a fret buzz noise. Your slapping is like you don’t touch the frets. What I’m doing wrong?
