Dec 17	comment	String buzz on bass guitar Updated with a picture of the temporary fix. (I need to either replace the nut or level off the nut slot, I think.) And, for the bass-curious, here's another question about the same guitar: What does a setup entail on a bass guitar when increasing string gauge?

Nov 22	comment	With sheet music, what happens with sharps and double sharps that are already sharped in the key signature? Accidentals are nulled after the end of the measure they appear, but yeah, this is done. (According to Wikipedia, sometimes these courtesy accidental marks appear in parentheses, although I don't recall ever seeing this.)

Nov 1	comment	How not to touch neighbouring strings? I have to disagree with this. While touching other strings with your fretting hand usually isn't that big of a deal, the guitarist wants to be able to choose whether or not this happens or it can lead to sloppy fretting.
Oct 25	comment	How can I prevent the noise my guitar pick makes? These are good options. You can do a lot more with just your fingers than most people think.
Oct 25	comment	How can I prevent the noise my guitar pick makes? Apoyando stroke instructional video. (I had to look this up, it's nice to learn something new!) I think I've been doing something like this but in reverse, sort of a reverse snap pulling up on the stings.

Oct 21	comment	Why does the D string in a guitar breaks so often? @ign - You might want to edit that into the question; some people never read the comments.

Sep 21	comment	How to select a key-signature for a song I've been working with a mandolin plater lately, so we tend to end up using the keys of G and D fairly often. I'm told those are easy on mandolin.
