So many guitar players are afraid to touch the truss rod and set up their guitars properly.
It's really not that hard though. I'm here to show you how to do it and how simple it actually is.
All you need is some practice and some finesse.
It's very important to know how to set up the tools you're using to create music with: your guitars.
Enjoy the video! :)
