Blues Medley: BB King, James Brown, Bobby "Blue" Bland

I've always changed a tuneomatic bridge top with wood and prefered the sound. The tuneomatic does sustain better, but has a metal ping, and less depth of sound to my ears. In the past I was able to...

Chord melody technique: do you keep a first finger bar position by default?
