Need Expert Advice: Home Recording for Dummy

Society
Such a great song. Eddie did a great job on covering this song. He did a great job on the whole sound track. He is simply a musical genius! I'm learning society and was wondering if anybody plays it without a capo. I play it without a capo in the key of B minor and it sounds good. How does everyone else play it?

Hello, I've been playing guitar for one year and I bought an electric guitar just one month ago (a cheap Squier Fat Strat). I've noticed a problem with the G string.

Bridges on a Tele Bigsby
Has anyone put a B5 Bigsby on their tele? I did recently and the bridge that came with it seems like it sits way too high. Right now I have the poles for the saddle-rollers taken out completely. When they are in, it seems unless the strings sit exactly in the middle one of the poles will unscrew on it's own while I'm…

How do I know if it's "the one?"
