Ive had a Squire for about half a year now and ive learned that it really

sucks I have 2 questions. My first question is how do i get the stings closer

to the fretboard because i wanna learn how to play fast like steve vai (hes

freaking awesome). My last question is, my friend showed me how to palm

mute the correct way because i have just been putting my hands and the

strings to mute it , I want to learn how do to do it with my palms any

suggestions?
