I've had one for over a year and I still don't get much out of it. I'm going to have more time once school lets out and I'd like to learn how to create a better variety of sounds with it.

Anyone?

    did you visit their website?
    Best thing is to just use it as much as possible. The sweetspot is pretty easy to find, just practice hammer ons and pull offs with it.
    I started using it with an acoustic, so when I moved over to electric it was a piece of cake.

    You have to use it and get the hang of it. There's no easy answer or tutorial. Once you get used to mking it work on your guitar, you will be able to find different ways to get different sounds from it.

    Best pick-up to play it on is the neck position. Turn your volume down because it doesn't take much juice to use it.

    A great song to practice with - U2's Staring at the Sun from Pop (sorry, U2 and Pop haters!).
