random

i'm fucking bored in the office now, so i think i'll just type some random post out now. i've more or less finished learning all the parts of kryptonite. now it's just left with don't cry. the intro can't be skipped this time, and we're to do it together, so that makes it doubly hard since i really hate chord changes and arpeggios.

anyway, i went back to standard value on saturday. was planning to get new pickups at the neck section or maybe change my humbucker, but in the end mike demonstrated to me that it's actually the amp that makes a difference in the sound. saved me some money there haha. anyway, got my action lowered and i realised something: before the setup, the strings were level but my fretboard isn't, but now after setup, my strings are no more level - each string equal height from the fretboard, not further at the sides and closer at the center. by the way, the strings are damn stiff now, but at least the action is slightly lower.

i also learned from mike how to use the damn tremelo arm that's been sitting in my bag for what seems like ages. i always thought the tremelo was played by turning it, man was i wrong. he pressed it down and viola! the tremelo went down and the sound changed! one prob with using the tremelo is that the strings run loose easily. so i don't think i will be using it anytime soon, but at least i know how to use it now haha.
