IF this isn't purely a joke....I assume your guitar is tuned....but develop decent vibrato (like Yngwie or someone...not Kirk Hammett, stay FAR away from him) and work on pitch accuracy on bends, this is huge It sucks going between guitars with different tunings since the bending force is different and the adjustment can be weird
