Guitar Technique
Up for discussion. 1: Whats the hardest guitar technique you have learned? 2: Whats the technique you still can't quiet grasp? 3: Whats your favorite sounding guitar technique rigardless of the difficulty? For me: 1: Not sure what its called but its the double string chug/pull off tech that Adam Jones from Tool does. Specifically in the song Jambi but he does it in a few others as well. 2: Sweep picking is still something that doesn't come easy for me. 3: Tap/pinch harmonics are my favorite. Especially with low tunings/low chug notes behind them. The drastic pitch change back and forth is excellent. Example riff would be main riff from Stitch by Wage War🤘🏻

More than one answer, some already mentioned here. The one I would like to get good at is tapping mixed with percussion on the guitar body.

being a musician
What is it like being a musician? It's an incredibly frustrating, constant struggle with insecurity and fear of inadequacy. It's being under appreciated and under paid. It's the hours of study and practice honing your skills to become the artist you know you will never be and knowing people have no understanding of what it takes to make it appear "natural". It's people talking about their friend or cousin who is an amazing musician and never had a single lesson...who doesn't even practice! It's knowing people feel entitled to what you do...not understanding that they are receiving a gift. It's sore sore fingers. It's the fight to book gigs and the frustration of last-minute cancelations. It's loading up and loading out and everything you don't see. But it's also that one moment when everything clicks...when you are lost in the music and everyone is sharing that vibe. It's the ultimate escape from everything that is wrong in the world

It's a blessing and a curse

@Victor Penniman That's the blessing part. This whole blessing/curse thing would make for a great discussion, but I will say this... For every gig from hell story, there are countless tales of joy!
String Height Adjustment
I’m thinking of attempting a truss rod adjustment on my accoustic. The strings seem too high on the fretboard. Looking for tips and insight in what I need to look for or be careful of. I’ve googled the info but wanted some community feedback.

@Bob Mason I don't doubt it can be done by a non-professional. I'm just too chicken to give it a go myself. It's not like I can just go, "Oh well, I screwed up. Guess I'll just go buy another guitar. Maybe this time, I'll try a Taylor." 🤔

Actually, the guy who works on my guitars is a very accomplished performer and producer, himself. In fact, he started out like you... he just wanted to save money, so he decided to learn how to do it himself. Then other people started asking him to set up their instruments. Now people come from miles around to have him work on their guitars.

Wow! That's so ethereal. A brilliant, lush, immersive soundscape. I can think of quite a few more adjectives to describe this... all complimentary. I thnk the first word says it best. Wow!
