Setting up your guitars

Alright, topic for the day... lots of friends and guitar players asked me:Is it important to set up your guitar? Answer.... of course. It isn't surprised if you,as a guitarist, don't know about this 'coz i realized it only 1 year ago. In the past, i compensate the tuning at the higher frets by bending the strings as and when needed.(even on stage...now that's high level of self confidence haha). I thought that was the best way to do it...(really) but of course, i was wrong. Then things went wrong when i started to record my songs 2 years ago... What happened? Even the simplest power chords can go slightly out-of-tune when you slide your way up.(eg. while playing those Mark Tremonti kind of riffs). Though i did not really use many of that kind of riffs in my songs... those riffs were somehow my standard ways of doing sound check in my small studio.

After setting up my studio guitars, things got alot easier and better... lots of ideas came to my mind while jammin' for new progressions and riffs... i guess it's because when your guitars are in tune, the "noise" you produce will just be so sweet...so don't wait, get your guitars setup and get ready to rock the way it should be...literally. And if you would like to, feel free to approach me for help... till then, KEEP PRESSING IN FOR THE BREAKTHROUGH!
