  Title : wrecking guitar  
         
  QUESTION:  
 
Dear marty!
I'm your huge fan and facinated and amazed by your guitar style.
I would like to be able to play fast like you do. I've tried to modified my guitars and this one is the sixth(at least) guitar i am going to wreck. i tried many things from lower the action, adjusting the truss rod, level the frets because i wanted the strings to get closest to the frets so i can play fast. my questions are:
1. i wouldlike to know that how far from the top of the frets to each strings should be in order to be able to play fast and how to do that.
2. should i tighten the truss rod as much as i can. please help me! i don't want to destroy my guitar anymore.

i listen to your music every night. every song is awesome. I got many different feeling by listening to your songs. marty, you rocks mate!

best wishes,

your big fan
 
     
  MARTY'S ANSWER:  
 
My advice is stop 'modifying' guitars, and sit down and play ANY guitar along with music, A LOT. This is the ONLY way to develop the ability you want. Trust me it works!
