Recommended Posts

alright, thank guys.

in my defense, axlisold, that guitar has the tensest strings i've ever played on an electric. on the very last note, you can actually see me use 2 hands to bend it. :lol:

i shouldn't whine though, i'll get a new guitar or work on my finger strength.

Or change the string gage?...

Anyway...wasn't a big fan of the bends or the guitar sound...but that's probably alot because of the quality of the recording.

Other than that I don't have anything to complain about :P

Hmm...Guitars with the same scale length and string gage always have the same tension for the strings to be up to pitch.

Other factors might give you a more "slinky" feel. You might consider tuning down half a step like slash. That lightens things up.

to me 9's feel like rubber bands..i've always used 11's

Ur action (height of the strings from the fretboard)must be too high...There's no reason why it should be really hard t bend notes, more than usual.

Also your neck might need to be adjusted (truss rod). There should be a barely noticeable bow in the neck. Fret your low E string at the 12th fret and the 3rd fret, see if the bow is way too much....being too straight wouldn't be a problem for string tension, but would probably cause sussing problems or even intonation.

If that doesn't do anything, u need to get muscles in ur fingers.
