Like fret hard and fret soft.

I thought you need to press hard enough for the correct tune to be achieved right?

well sometimes i purposely fret it away from the fret abit(as in about the middle of the fret) to get that erm muddy? tone.
especially when performing speed buildups on the thick strings

i'd rather stick with the fact that having a decent guitar when u start makes it easier. not only in terms of sound, the playability and quality affects too.
i mean of course you would want a good sounding guitar and 'easier to press' frets as when it comes to electric guitar u need not fret that hard.

yeah with distortion its easier to get the sound but you gotta control the string noise
on and off i'll play my acoustic(not sure about the stock gauges) the string gauges are higher so when i play my electric guitar after that i feel my fingers are stronger

well it's intonation, you might wanna look up on the concept. pressing the string too hard will make the note go a little sharp. how hard you to fret usually depends on the guitar's action. lower action, lighter touch.

yeah, can do that to achieve that muddy effect i was talking about

fretting too hard also makes ur rhythm goes off, well, in the bass world la. Like when i started learning slap and pop, i usually fret too hard, (dun ask me why, i think coz of the tension when learning something new ) thus, my tempo always lari wan, and play a bit only, tired adee. then learnt to fret softer by more playing lo. But i still suck at slap and pop la, haha. , but at least now tempo and rhythm settle adee. .

It's not my kapok's fault yea, btw. just my tensioness . So if u still wanna trade ur seagull with my kapok, can always pm me

Haha no I won't trade my Seagull Is it a good guitar?

The face of it is rather soft though. Like a few dents are visible made by the pick :\

no its horrible
hence give it to me

i give u kapok
its better

wah how you dent it with your pick..
even with a pickguard there i dunno how i will be able to hit the body while strumming..

Don't know man really, most of the time my bro plays it.

But some other dents are caused by bumping into something. The wood is seriously soft one, I used my fingernails and put a little pressure and there is a dent already. Even softer than balsa wood :\

It's because of the moisture that softens your wood. IMO lah

Fingerpicks do alot of body damage when u slap

=/

hehe, i dented my foster parents' seagull also lar, quite fragile stuff these guitars. u are much better off with a kapok, can last u 4 or 5 years at least.
summore very hard to dent 1 .
seagull owners would always wanna scold their foster sons wan la, for denting their guitars..

Kapok RULES!

i'm using a pyramid acoustic(rm120 one)
the upper body paint actually came off due to sweat and i was wondering why is there a black line on my arm...
yup, you get what you pay for.
and that was the 2nd model i had replaced because the first one had serious technical issues like EXTRA ONE FRET?!
so 2 frets sounded the same and there were a sh!tload of other problems
