I started with barre chords higher up on the neck where they were easier to play and then when I got good at that I moved further down the neck playing 5 string barre chords and then 6. The f barre chord was like the last I worked on lol and I find I’ve never used it much at the first fret. I found that using movable shape chords helped me learn the fret board.
You can play the f barre chord using your thumb on the E string, I have short fingers so that’s not really easier, but it’s good for some fingerstyle stuff and I often leave out the high e string.
There is a Starcaster cheapie guitar in my pile to donate to New Orleans. Every so often I think about plugging it in and checking it out. Then I think better if it. Nope nope nope.
Steve Stine-best on the webz for guitar. Explains the guitar in a way that even a dunce like me could play. He is friendly, personable and one helluva player.
I decked the tremolo and did some fret polishing at lunch time today. Can’t really see it in the picture but it’s amazing what a little steel wool will do. The frets are nice and smooth and shiny now. I rolled the fretboard a bit too. It’s coming out nice!
Who needs to eat when there’s setup work needing to be done!
Well I’m all done. She’s looking good!
However, I had to remove the spring on the low E saddle to be able to intonate. Have you guys run into this before?
