Hi there!
Thanks for asking!

I have the neck on the guitars very straight, and I give it to my luthier for saddle/nut adjustments. Usually he does a fret job on it to make it not buzz too much even though the neck is straight.

I have the action set low, and I use D'Addario strings, phosphor bronze 12-53 (although I use a 14 on my high E string to get a bigger tone on the high E string. I rarely bend more than a whole step on that string anyways, so I can have a thicker string there.. Learned that from Joe Robinson )

Let me know if you have any other questions!

@Nat-Defriend Hi Nat!
Thanks for asking!

We currently don't have too many Jazz Standards as lessons because we need publishing rights to be able to release arrangements and tabs for songs that are not Public Domain. However, we're working on ways to be able to get the licences to do this.
We have a wonderful version of the beautiful standard "Danny Boy" (or londonderry air), if you'd like to check it out: https://www.proguitar.com/academy/lessons/danny-boy

Hope you have a wonderful day Nat!

Hi there and thanks for asking!
(Also thanks to @proguitar_rckrd for posting that short triad lesson!)

I currently don't have a big lesson on this topic but I'm glad you asked about it.
The "Inversions"-lesson that you already watched covers similar things but I'll think about making a lesson focused on only triads as well.

So glad you're learning from our lessons Steve!
Have a great day!

Hi,

You can download the tab by clicking on the folder icon, as shown in the screenshot below.

When you have downloaded the pdf to your iPad you should be able to print it.

Please test this and get back to us if it doesn't work.

Best regards,
Rickard

Hi @Nat-Defriend ! Nice to hear from you, and thanks for being part of ProGuitar.com!

Regarding nails:

First of all, I use acrylic on my nails. I go to a saloon where they put that on, and then I shape the nails myself. The thicker the layer of acrylic is, the better the tone is, in my opinion. In the pictures below, you'll notice that it's been awhile since I put on new acrylic (I should do that today! ), maybe a month or more, and the acrylic only covers half of the nails now..

This is the shape that I use on my nails:

For me, it's important to file the nails in this angle (below). When I play a lot, the strings automatically "file" down the nails in this shape, so I try to get the shape of the nails already in that shape before, so that it feels natural right away. I want a smooth angle (with no sharp edges), and If I hold the nail file like this, it's easy to shape it in a good way that works great for me.

Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any further questions!
Kind regards /Emil

Thanks, Emil.

Hi there!

Thanks for sending us the questions!
Always fun when people reach out for some guitar tips and tricks!

What you’re describing is pretty common, and most people have been experiencing similar problems when playing guitar.

There are a few things that you can have in mind.

Make sure you cut your nails fairly short so that the angle of the fingers (tip of the finger) presses down the string in the right way, just like in the video that you sent.

If your action (string height) is a bit too high, this problem of “missing” the string so that the finger gets under the string will happen much more often. So it’s really good to go to a music store and try a guitar with a really low and comfortable action, which will make it much easier - and you’ll not have the same problem as much. Most guitars can be adjusted so make sure you give it to a luthier or maintenance and repair person to help you lower the action if it’s too high.

Everyone has different opinions on how wide the guitar neck should be. I’d suggest you to try acoustic guitars with different measurements when it comes to how wide the neck is, cause it might be much easier for you to have a wider (or smaller ) neck.. try out different ones and see if this problem occurs or not.

Strings. Try different types of strings, to see if this helps. Coated strings are much more slippery, which can cause these problems that you have. Phosphor bronze strings that are not coated might be better for you! (I use phosphor bronze strings)

The video exercises that you sent are ok, and will help - but make sure your right hand are located over the sound hole (and not like the guy is teaching in the video).

Hope this helps! Kind regards/ Emil

You're absolutely right, it does! /Emil

Hi there! Thanks for asking about my Desperado arrangement! Unfortunately, this song is very difficult to get the publishing rights for, and I can't make a lesson on copyright protected material yet. So sorry! Kind regards/E

@JEricD

Thank you so much! So happy to hear this! Have a great day! /Emil

@mtanti
Hi there!
Sorry for the late respons Mark!
I don't have that arrangement (https://youtu.be/_pHCOQ9mtss) written out, sorry! I might write it out later on when I get the time to do it - many people have asked for it! Thank you for listening and watching my videos Mark!
Kind regards/Emil
