Having just switched the strings I had on my electric from 9s to 10s, I've noticed the strings are very high off the fretboard. Now I know there is an adjusment you can make but I've heard you have to take your guitar to the shop to get it fixed. Can I make this adjusment myself and save the...

Every time I jam with my friends or when I'm just playing at home I always find myself using much of the same standard Blues licks every time. I think improvisation is one of the most important skills of guitar playing, but how do you improve your improvisation skills and phrasing? Any...
