I was just wondering where I should keep my hand while playing. Should I rest it on the bridge right where the strings connect or should I not rest my hand on the bridge because I have a floyed and I didn't know if resting my hand on the bride while playing would change the tune. When I palm mute should I mute where the strings connect to the bridge. Also when holding the pick does it matter how much thumb covers the pick. I like to do pinch harmonics alot and I hold my pick so that only a little bit sticks out. One more thing I just got a new guitar yesterday ( an ESP) and I noticed that the strings seem all bendable, like there overly slinky Is there any way to make my strings feel tighter because when I try to play thrash metal my e string feels all slinky and I cant play fast enough.
