Setting your action on the classical guitar

In this video master luthier Gary Lee walks you through setting your action on the classical guitar. Action is the height of the strings above the frets, and it can have a dramatic impact on your playing experience. If your left hand gets overly sore when playing, or your strings are buzzing a lot, this lesson could be a game changer for you.

Gary Lee has filmed an entire course entitled “A Player’s Guide to Guitar Mechanics” and it is available to CGC Members.
