Hi sorry more questions !
I was watching quite a few video's on you tube
is the posisiton of the bar in the middle of the two fret markers or over the fret markers..
I have been positioning the bar in the middle..but the vid's I looked at he was or seemed to be putting the middle (bulnose)of the bar over the fret markers...
thanks for all the help so far

Over the fret markers.

It is an illusion in the videos that it is between the fret markers, because of the camera angle.

Just to clarify... "fret markers" are not "frets". Fret markers are the dots or other symbols that are on certain frets. Your bar should be placed over the Frets, not over the fret markers. Winking

Hi Doug..As A newbe to this I hope you will let me off with this one ! What I ment in my mind ( although I Stand corrected ) the bar''s going across where "marking" the start of one and end of an other fret..I can see where you are comming from and thank you for taking the time to reply..
What I should have asked is dose the bar go over the frets or in the middle of the frets.and yourself and others have answered that very well.. ( we learn something new every day ) I wont for get this one..consider me Reprimanded !
Thanks Doug
