Lesson Description

If you've seen any of my lesson videos, you might have noticed something covering the strings above the nut of my guitar.

I'm constantly getting asked about it in the comments on YouTube.

So in this video I provide a thorough answer:

• I play examples of what the scrunchie thing does for the sound
  
• I talk about sympathetic vibration
  
• And I even demonstrate a little guitar tapping technique at the end :)
