Hi Rob, of all the CBG vids I've watched, this one helped me the most. Thanks!

[@rzambory2938]

[@doggylv]

[@prns1]

Appreciated piece of information.. Thanks.

Thanks Rob , appreciate the information.

When you fret at 12th what should tuner read? Same as open note octave higher.?

[@Owen741.]

You have cbg in your name and you dont know this? Not being mean but this is basic principles of the instrument. 7 notes stretched out to the 12 where it repeats

[@thi_avatar69420]

It's hard to know about things when people who "know it" won't competently or fully explain it.

[@hurdygurdyguy1]

You probably know this by now, but, yes… same note an octave higher

[@samTollefson]

Thank for that, big help!

[@johnaustin1825]

Care! I lowered it too far and lost the little screws

[@johnaustin1825]

I've been fiddling around for 2 days and can't get rid of the sharpness at the 12th fret?? Would appreciate any ideas?

[@robscigarboxguitars4316]

No problem, forgot to mention the action at the twelfth fret was .060

[@FezzantPlucka]

Thanks Rob. Nice video and easy to follow. One question - you didn't use harmonics at all - is there a reason for that?

[@robscigarboxguitars4316]

Most don’t know what that is or how to do it, so I didn’t talk about it, 👍🎸

[@FezzantPlucka]

@@robscigarboxguitars4316 Oh OK 👍

[@johnaustin1825]

Bring the bridge forward?? Toward nut or away?

[@robscigarboxguitars4316]

If flat go to towards the nut if sharp go towards the back of guitar 🎸

[@roudebushj1969]

Rob - What string brand and gauge do you use? Great video, very helpful.

[@robscigarboxguitars4316]

roudebushj1969 I use 42-34-24w. And curt mangan or string joy ,

[@ItAintMeBabe99]

Oh Dude ! Why wouldn’t you turn the freakin background radio OFF ? How annoying ! I could hardly focus on the video subject. Thanks for trying.
