ANOTHER SMALL GUITAR SAMPLE & QUESTION?

Well, it is very basic.  It's a pretty good sound though with something that simple I'd probably use a bit of echo (delay, whatever) to sustain.  Just my thought.

THE NIGHT FOX


 
... during that time I had some issues with this guitar staying in tune so last wek I went out and bought a new set of guitar strings and replace the strings that was on it when I bought this guitar from SweetWater .
Now it sounds in tune when I play it and stays in tune so the new set of strings did fix that issue I was having . 

• If the action of a string is set too high, you will have to press down on it much more to fret the notes
• If it's set too low, then you will hear a buzzing sound when you play a note, as the vibrating string comes into contact with the frets

• If a string is too 'long' for the scale length of your guitar, the notes you fret along it will be slightly 'flat'
• If a string is too 'short' for the scale length of your guitar, the notes you fret along it will be slightly 'sharp'

• The ACTION:
  1. Tune the open string to the correct pitch
  2. If you start with a high action, gradually lower the string and fret it all over the fretboard until it starts to buzz - now raise it again until the buzzing stops
  3. If you start with too low an action and the string is already buzzing, gradually raise it until the buzzing stops
  4. Remember to retune the string after every adjustment in height - as you raise a string, you will also be tightening it slightly thereby raising the pitch; as you lower a string, you will be slackening it slightly thereby lowering its pitch
  5. Remember also that a guitar's action can also be set for the player's comfort and playability preferences. Again, this can be a compromise - a guitar set up with an overall low action and thinner gauge strings will be easier to play, but a guitar set up with a higher action and thicker strings will sound louder and 'fuller'
  6. If you can only adjust the action of all the strings at once, or for example in pairs, then you will have to set the action so that none of the strings in each group is high enough to prevent buzzing
• The INTONATION:
  1. With the action set for each string, again retune the open string to the correct pitch
  2. Now fret the string at the 12th fret (or some would argue, ever better, 'sound' the harmonic at the 12th fret) and check its pitch, either by ear or (ideally) using a tuner. At the 12th fret, the string will play an octave higher than the open string.
     • If the note at the 12th fret is flat, this means the string is too long - gradually shorten it until the 12th fret octave is perfectly in tune with the open string
     • If the note at the 12th fret is sharp, this means the string is too short- gradually lengthen it until the 12th fret octave is perfectly in tune with the open string
  3. In all cases of setting the intonation, it is crucial to retune the open string after every adjustment in string length - if you've shortened the string it will become lower in pitch as you've slightly relaxed it, if you've lengthened the string it will become higher in pitch as you've tightened it
  4. If you can only set the intonation for all the strings at once, or in pairs, then this will involve some form of compromise. As a general rule, you should set the intonation of a group of strings somewhere 'in the middle' so to speak, so some strings are slightly flat at the octave, and some strings are slightly sharp. On a good guitar with a decent set-up however, these differences will be unnoticeable to the ear, the slight variations will only be noticeable when using an electronic guitar tuner..
