Guitar Tips of the Week - Changing Strings

Tips: Whenever you change guitar strings, always do it 3 at a time. Do not take out all 6 at one time.

Reason: Your guitar neck will WARP (simple terms: bend) due to sudden release of tension of the 6 strings.

When that happens,
- your strings may get a high possibility of buzzing when you play due to unnecessary contact with the fret board at the wrong places.
- you may find it hard to tune to the correct standard tuning and whatever chords and notes you play will sound wierd and incorrect.

周杰伦 - 搁浅 (吉他谱 Chords + Cover)



For 搁浅 standalone, the original chords are as below. On the left is played using F family of chords, which is slightly not very "finger-friendly" to play with as there are alot of barred chords. On the rightis played using Capo 5: Play C, which is simpler to play with.


For 天空 standalone, the original chords are as below:

For the medley I did in the above video, I played 搁浅 in D key (by Capo 2: Play C) else 天空 will be too high to hit.
