In this guitar lesson, you will learn how to quickly lower the strings of a guitar above the 12th fret on a classical guitar and on an acoustic guitar without an anchor. Almost every guitarist has encountered the fact that it is very difficult and uncomfortable to play guitars where the strings are located very high above the fretboard. Indeed, firstly, it is difficult to press positions and chords. Secondly, the accuracy of pressing the strings suffers. Well, thirdly, and this is the main thing, you spend much more energy, which prevents you from fully relaxing. And without relaxing your hands and the whole body, truly good guitar playing is unthinkable. In this lesson, we will look at how you can quickly and safely lower the strings on a classical and acoustic guitar. As you most likely already know, classical guitars most often do not have an anchor for adjusting the deflection of the fretboard and, therefore, incidentally, for adjusting the height of the strings above the fretboard. The method described in the lesson can be used to effectively lower the strings on acoustic guitars with metal strings. Often, this can be an additional finishing touch after lowering the strings through the anchor bolt. As a result, you will spend no more than 30 minutes, and after that you will hold in your hands, as if a completely different, new, much more perfect instrument - a guitar with a comfortable string height. If you strictly adhere to the recommendations and algorithm, the procedure is more than safe. I used it at different times on 6 of my different guitars (including one master, one silent, and one transacoustic) and on several guitars of guitarists I know. Practice shows that even very expensive guitars very often require finishing the strings. Lesson content: Introduction Why lower the strings on a guitar?
