LESSON DESCRIPTION
If you've seen any of my lesson videos, you might have noticed something covering the strings above the nut of my guitar.
I'm constantly getting asked about it in the comments on YouTube.
So in this video I provide a thorough answer:

-I talk about sympathetic vibration
-And I even demonstrate a little guitar tapping technique at the end :)
