think ive just found a technique that works. lol i know im talking to myself here. i start plucking 3 strings nice and slow then get faster and faster until im at my max. then stop and start again. and in 2 minutes ive just got faster. ive been playing this for weeks trying to get faster and the start slow and build up speed has worked a treat, thanks for putting that idea in my head dad3353!

Yeah thank you Douglas. I'll give it a few gentle taps myself, and if I dont see any improvement I'll take it to a repairer to get it done properly. I think there is one locally for about £30 an hour.

I could be up for this. I'm not tech savvy though, and only have mobile wifi. Yep, we've came a long way. Anyone else remember buying tab books?

Me giving it some full on A major stuff many years ago on my much loved and sadly missed Washburn HB35 that I got sent from America. UK only had, if I remember right red, natural , and black available. White wasnt an option here, but that's what I wanted. It got stuck at customs because I didnt know about import tax back then☹

I used to play bass too in my earlier years. I got a gig at the local theatre playing guitar for a show, but there were more jobs available for a bass player there, and was told if I get a bass I can have the more work. So I did. I dont have one anymore, but they are great fun. Maybe I'll get one thinking about it.

I could try that. My main hesitation is because I dont know if it was ever correct in the first place. The lady I bought it off had it from new, about 10 years, and I dont know if it was ever played that high, or much at all. If I knew it was once ok, then now high, then tapping it back into place might not be too difficult, but if it was never set correctly in the first place then I might be trying to tap the fret down but the groove might be too shallow, i cant see a gap, but then its maybe only a fraction of a mm anyway. What are the chances that a guitar leaves the factory with a groove not cut deep enough? I assume they are all done by robots not by hand. It's not like it was hand made by a luthier.

Hej 42Hz. I am new here as well.
