"Hi All, I know that action height is mostly a matter of personal preference but as a beginner (longtime beginner, heh) I don't believe I have enough experience to know what height best suits me. It feels a bit awkward when I play down by the…"

"Hi Guys, Thanks for the replies. I have downloaded from both FREESCORES and MUSICNOTES. The problem I have run into on musicnotes is that some of the songs I've downloaded are NOT what I see being played by the artist. …"

"Hi! Regarding online free, public-domain sheet music, I usually mostly go on 2 sites: IMSLP and Free Scores. IMSLP mostly contains classical pieces for all instruments. Lots of scores are PDF files of original old publications that have been…"

Quality Sheet Music

Hi all,Does anyone have suggestions for finding good quality sheet music? By good quality I mean correct. I have downloaded some good arrangements from musicnotes.com. However, many times I will look up a song and what is written on the page doesn't seem to be anything like the song. I've tried some of the tab sites but find reading tabulature to be quite maddening. Also, many of the tabs are incorrect.See More

Daryl Kosinski replied to Zbignu's discussion Do picks wear out?

"Yes they wear out. When I am off to a week at Ashokan "Western and Swing Week" I will go through 2 maybe 3 in one week. For me they crack and break so it's easy to tell when to change. I like Fender medium. Also I keep a small piece…"

Do picks wear out?

I know they say "There are no stupid questions" but I may put the lie to that adage today. Do picks wear out? and if so, how do you know when to change them?See More

"So many great recommendations on this thread. I'm listening to Swell Season play live at the NPR offices as I type this. I'm surprised no one has mentioned Warren Haynes yet. His 'Live at Bonnaroo' album is…"

Larry Shone replied to Zbignu's discussion Open Strings in tune register as sharp when fretted,

"Sounds like the action is too high, most cheap guitars are sold that way, even Fender! I got my Fender set up at a small guitar shop, made a heck of a difference! Thankfully my new Tanglewood comes with nice low action straight out of the box!"

"I'll just throw this in as an FYI. I just had work done on my acoustic by a pro. He recommended redoing the saddle to address some intonation correction. He removed the old 1 piece straight-line saddle, milled the bridge down…"

Zbignu replied to Zbignu's discussion Open Strings in tune register as sharp when fretted,

"Thank you all for the replys. This has been very informative. I never even knew you could fret a note without actually touching the fretboard. I checked intonation again with a lighter touch and also at the 12th fret. The intonation is…"

Judgestone replied to Zbignu's discussion Open Strings in tune register as sharp when fretted,

"I also agree with the intonation side of it. If your in tune when open, and not when you fret the 12th fret then the intonation is off. If your in tune when open and in tune on the 12 fret, then it is an issue of pressing to…"
