Conceptually, a guitar is just a small, high pitched bass, or vice-versa, so you need to make the same considerations as an EADG-BEAD change, and could encounter the same issues. … You will need to setup the guitar again- intonation, relief, action- but that's no different than if you just installed a different weight of strings. …

It doesn't matter that the index finger does not move, because the next note (on the fourth string) is higher up on the neck, fretted by the middle finger. You can't mute a fretted note behind the st …

Personally, I struggle enough getting a hardtail guitar in tune! …

different guitars, The audio you shared sounds exactly like extra unmuted strings ringing out, The extra notes that ring out are G, A, and D, which are easily excitable natural harmonics on the EADGBE-tuned guitar …

You can make the note go a little flat by pushing it forward, since you do decrease the tension on the speaking length of the string. Test it yourself with a tuner and see how flat you can get the no …

If you're playing two downstrokes in a row, then yes, you have to bring your hand back up after the first to play the second, sort of like a missed upstroke. You don't have to think about "hitting" t …

"Stretch" Of course, this is really referring to what your hand does, but I've heard a "3 fret stretch" or "4 fret stretch" plenty of times in casual talk. "It's a big/difficult stretch", etc. This o …

I would just call it plucking or strumming behind/above the nut. If anyone were to have a fancy Italian word for this, it would be violinists, but even for violin, I see this called "pizzicato above …

I recognize that this is an unusual answer format for this site, but I think this is the best way I can illustrate the timing here. It's not the open B that's played quickly but rather the bend that …

If we assume that this is a harmonic sound (which is a good enough assumption for pianos) and that this is a spectrum of only one note being played, then the fundamental frequency n will be the highes …

What you describe is pretty standard for a bridge saddle that is placed too far from the nut (i.e. intonated too flat.) The intonation adjustment at the bridge has more effect on higher frets than lo …
